	The most remote inhabited island in the Great Lakes, with a year-round population of 600 - a large percentage, of Irish descent. The residents' isolation, independence and respect for nature and traditions of the Island have made time slow down. Because Beaver Island offers a serene, relaxed life-style, many visitors have become regular vacationers, property owners and permanent residents. We welcome you to discover Beaver Island and decide where it may fit into your life.


	Beaver Island is a bargain!


	Overnight rooms start at $70.00. Rent a home on the lake for under $1000 a week!
