À propos de cet hébergement

Escapade Ile Exclusive

Découvrez Charity Island dans un confort absolu. Une réserve faunique de 400 acres avec 4 milles de rivage vierge et non aménagé. Charity Island est un paradis pour les amoureux de la nature, doté d'un couvert forestier mature couvrant la majeure partie de l'île et d'un ciel nocturne sans tache de lumière artificielle. Le lodge Charity Island peut accueillir jusqu'à six personnes avec une chambre principale et un loft spacieux doté de quatre lits. Le réfrigérateur au propane, la cuisinière et les lumières permettent une vie tranquille. Notre système d’eau est un système approuvé par la NSF qui tire l’eau du lac Huron. Il est filtré et traité à la lumière ultraviolette et stocké dans un réservoir de stockage surélevé permettant à la cuisine et à la salle de bain d’être continuellement alimentées en eau. Charity Island Lodge dispose également d’un groupe électrogène et est complètement câblé comme n’importe quel cottage sur le continent. Charity Island Lodge est le seul cottage de l'île de Charity, à l'exception du phare historique de Charity Island, à voir (des dîners ont souvent lieu au phare et les hôtes du pavillon sont toujours les bienvenus. À sept milles de la terre la plus proche, vous sentirez l'isolement en regardant le bateau-mouche dîner au départ de Charity Island alors que le soleil commence à se coucher et que le spectaculaire coucher de soleil commence à se dérouler. Que vous aimiez la randonnée, la pêche, la navigation de plaisance, l'observation des oiseaux, l'observation du ciel nocturne ou tout simplement vous détendre sur une plage isolée, Charity Island Lodge sera votre nouvelle destination préférée dans le nord-est du Michigan. Des voyages à destination et en provenance de l'île de Charité peuvent être organisés pour répondre à votre horaire, de la mi-avril à la fin octobre. Il n'y a pas de magasins ou de restaurants sur l'île, alors préparez-vous. La plupart de nos clients considèrent que trois ou quatre nuits constituent le séjour optimal, à moins que vous n'emmeniez un bateau et que vous souhaitiez prendre part à la pêche légendaire autour de l'île. Enfin, comme pour toute expérience dans l’arrière-pays, les moustiques et les mouches noires peuvent être gênants les jours les plus chauds sans brise, planifiez-les en conséquence. Nous avons deux kayaks pour explorer les 8 km de rivage lors de ces journées plus calmes.

Amazing getaway

what a fantastic vacation. if we would have brought extra food, we would have stayed a couple extra days. Host Dean was very fun, helpfull and informative on everything. A lot of neat ingenous things on the house and property. All of which worked to the T. Good thing we brought some warmer clothing, as it gets a little chilly when the wind comes in from the lake. we had 6 unbelievable sun rises right on the front porch. We had an ATV to use to go check out the lighthouse property and go to the beach on the other side of the Island. Huge tip...when going to the beach, DO NOT drive off the main trail. Its only a 2 minute walk. there are rare and sensitive plants on the island. the beach is definitly wotrh the walk. we will be back. also, our 3 dogs had a blast

Great Getaway

Had a great time staying on the island! It's an adventure destination, so it is not for everyone. But me and my family had a great time. The island is very peaceful, especially on the weekdays. Stargazing is the best in Michigan as light pollution is no-factor. You still get decent phone reception if you stand in the right spot, so you are not totally cut off from the mainland if you should need to reach out. Everyone we met from the ferry captain to our host was super helpful and accommodating. Don't be afraid to ask questions, Dean is always happy to help. The bugs were not bad for us at all. We landed in mid-August, and this had a lot to do with it. Previous tenants recommended immediately retreating to the other side of the island if the flies were bad, as their location was wind dependant. The beach on the sandy-side of the island is totally amazing. You will likely have a mile stretch of beach all to yourself. It is a bit rocky for the first few feet of water, then quickly turns into a gradually sloped sand bottom. Great for the kids. The fishing in the harbor is great for the kids also. Lots of small aggressive sunfish. We thought we'd catch something big, but weren't experienced enough to land anything. Saw some large smallies jumping around and teasing us. The house was very clean, though this may depend on the previous tenants because there is no cleaning service on the island. The off-grid power system could be a bit challenging. I would go in expecting to only run the basic utilities of the house and maybe the chance to charge your phones. Generator power is available, but if you don't want to hear the noise, plan for minimal consumption. Overall a great experience and a great value. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to get far away from everything without wanting to go very far!

This place is great to get a short taste of off grid living. A couple of hiccups to be expected with off grid houses. Exactly what we expected and Dean was a great host. We will be back!

Amazing Escape

We had an amazing adventure to Charity Island. We would highly recommend this escape to those that enjoy connecting with each other and the outdoors. If camping is in your repertoire, this is your place. Like any “outdoor” adventure, weather dictates many things. The beauty of the island are the options that exist from one side to the other. The right amount of adventure!

Summer family get-away

We had a wonderful time---kayaking, swimming, hiking, camp fires, relaxing... We had a problem with the generator but the owner talked us through that. Thankfully it was windy and sunny, so we had electricity most of the time. Unique get-away.

Unplugged Adventure

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Charity Island. The water was a bit choppy on the way to the island but was perfect for our ride back. We relaxed by the fire, spent time playing games, explored nature, and just enjoyed the sound of the waves. The cabin is well furnished and had all of the comforts of home minus the WiFi and television. The cabinets were also well stocked with food if we had ran out of our own. I will say you should bring your own sheets and pillowcases. As well as plenty of drinking water. I wish we could stay longer! Thank you to both our captin Damon and the host Dean.

Awesome adventure

We loved our time on the island. Damon was an awesome captain and helped my husband with our luggage. Dean was very kind to answer our questions about the cabin. My kids enjoyed exploring and swimming each day! They also became pro sorry! players. Beware of trying to kayak around the island if the water is rough or you’ll end up in the middle of Saginaw Bay (at least it felt like the middle)!

Secluded and very relaxing

Great place for relaxing and just to get away. Beautiful views of lake. We love to be near water and love to be in nature and this covered both areas. Internet and cell service is spotty on island but we didn’t mind. Will definitely be back!

As described

Beautiful log cabin, beautiful water when it’s not windy and secluded. I will visit again under different circumstances! You have to do some work such as shutting off generator at night, making sure the power battery is charged, and pumping water. However, Dean is very responsive and friendly. Showed up on time and helped load and unload all of our belongings.

Paradise

If you’re a nature buff seeking a chance to disconnect, or just someone wanting to get away for a bit this is the place for you. Absolutely gorgeous views of the sunrise, cool clear waters, and a chance to have a small taste of what life is really like will really ground you. You can forage for your own firewood, fill up the water tank and pressurize it, and cook over the fire for every meal. Kayaks provided on site at no extra charge, otters nearby, and you’re own personal wading area out front complete with rocks to look at and fossils to find. It’s an experience everyone should have. Damon and a nice woman helped us load our stuff into the boat, which was very heavy, and gave us a little history about everything in the area. Then we chartered off towards the island so far in the distance you couldn’t even see it. What a journey.

Beautiful and Peacful

My husband, 5yo son and myself had a great time on Charity Island. We stayed 4 nights, which was a perfect amount of time. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and exploring the island. We had a few rainy morning and there some board games and Keva building blocks to keep us busy. Dean was a great host who answered all out questions and checked in with us by phone while we were on the island. We would love to go back next summer.

Awesome!!!

The stay was amazing. Lots of outdoor activities ( kayaking, swimming, fishing and fires.) Windy days are best to have the least amount of nuisance insects. Rainy days were awesome with the amount of board games provided and acoustic guitar. We made sure to visit the light house, beach and took full advantage of ALL of the outdoor activities. Dean is an amazing host with lots of knowledge of the island and very helpful with any questions before and during our stay. Cell phone service is dismal in most places on the island which made our disconnect from the world that much better. If you want seclusion and serenity, this is your place!! We cannot wait to come back again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Paradise Island

I agree with the review that says this location's favorability is weather based, but I think it's really wind based. Also I don't think there is any bad, just different ways of enjoying it. The scene changes there based on where you are on the island and wind. For instance, we had a westerly wind that left it pretty hot, calm and yes slightly buggy cabin-side the first day but then we expected that. Meanwhile the opposite side, (which you can hop to with provided buggy) was a sweet breeze. Next 3 days were glorious for us: easterly winds and the place was paradise. We cooked over open fire every night, kayaked, floated in the refreshing water, fished off the dock, watched the sunrise from the back patio mornings (thats the pic they should include on this listing!) and even took the buggy to the opposite side of the island to see sunsets. We did all of this having 2.5 and 1 yr old babies with us! If you're all adult party, you could kayak around the whole island, no doubt! We too were a bit nervous about supplies, but it works itself out. I gave the cleanliness 3 stars because being so remote the owners have limited cleaning resources and the crew before us was a guys fish fry trip - still it was not that bad, and we honestly didn't care we were so comfortable. Only real complaint from my wife was the handmade wooden rocking chairs - the legs are sharp and she stubbed her toes at least 3 times! Watch out for them, other than that - if you're reading this, and there are available dates, better bookit!! Best family retreat we've ever had! -Billy & Lauren

A Wonderful Adventure

The property was well kept and clean. The owners were wonderful as well. It was so peaceful and quiet. We were there right when the baby frogs were emerging and they were everywhere along the shore by the lighthouse. When the breeze came in toward the cabin the surrounding area stayed cool and bug free I enjoyed a nice rest in the hammock. The water was stunningly clear and crisp. And great fishing if that is something you enjoy. I hope to visit again one day.

Rustic location. Comfortable accommodations!

This is the kind of vacation dictated by the weather. Windy days are best as the black flies can be brutal. Fortunately it’s almost always breezy. Trail directly to the beach was nice. Used the mule to cart out beach stuff within 50 feet of the water. Views were fantastic but overcast every night so no star gazing. Kayaking was limited to the calm mornings for us but a younger crowd could go any day. Gas lights were convenient and bright. Grilled every night, campfires as well. We had to leave a day early due to 7ft waves on our scheduled departure day but that’s an island vacation! Great variety of flaura and fauna and warm water in August. Got to do it at least once!

Total Getaway

Beautiful location. Beautiful cabin. Peace and quiet. Opportunities for adventure. All the comfort a person needs. Let your cares float away. Do bring drinking water and a book. You may not want to run the generator to recharge your phone or tablet. This is not your run-of-the-mill rental. A few days here will provide a lot of happy memories.

Relaxing and peaceful!

We stayed for four nights in late June. First of all, the trip was logistically much easier than I was expecting -- the house is stocked with the basics like drinking water, paper products, and even some toiletries, condiments, and spices. The prospect of having to think of everything to bring should not deter you from booking this place! Captain Greg, who took us there and back, was awesome, and even helped my son pick out fishing supplies before we headed over and showed us how to work everything in the house. Dean supplies a golf cart, cornhole, board games and books, kayaks, life vests, firewood for the fire pit, and grill. There is a dinner cruise on weekends that ends at the lighthouse, and we joined for hands-down the best perch dinner ever (additional cost) and an interesting history of the island (look for the Wikipedia entry on Charity Island for the basics). We kayaked several times a day, even kayaking around the island one afternoon (it's about 3 miles). The sunrises from the porch are stunning. The only drawback was the bugs. We tried a variety of sprays and some worked for a while, but the bugs were a challenge on some parts of the island/some times of day. And they affected us differently (one kid got particularly swarmed). Dean and the captain were responsive and made everything easy for us. We'll be back!

Very secluded, rustic setting with private rocky beach out in the middle of Saginaw Bay.

Enjoyed a long weekend in a rustic cottage on the mostly deserted island. Cottage had all the amenities, but with electric generator and water tower it required some know-how to tend. Loved use of single kayaks for exploration of the coast and off road vehicle for runs to the lighthouse for sunset gazing. Brother of owner operates a dinner cruise to the island lighthouse and was on site for advice and supplies as needed. His knowledge of the island's history was impressive and added much to our appreciation of the site. For those who love secluded and quiet natural settings, it was an island paradise, with no large mammals to dodge. Birds, frogs, snakes, butterflies, and chipmunks added to the charm. Insects were ample, too, but winds off the lake kept them down. Watched meteors one night from the completely dark shoreline. Owner and brother were very friendly and responsive to any needs we had.

Definitely will plan a trip back in the future!

My husband and I decided to take a 4 day getaway to the island. It was a great getaway. Loved our piece and quiet. We kayaked around the whole island. The bugs were a little buggie. But the water was nice and so was the weather. We will be back for sure. Thanks Dean! And thanks Bob for the ride back. The Pridemores

We stayed the week of the 4th of July and had a wonderful time. The cabin is nice and clean. They took really good care of us....!!! We enjoyed trips to the light house and kayaking. The location is spectacular and the solitude was appreciated. It's a nice getaway but make sure you bring plenty of bug spray and lots of books.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Dean P. Wiltse

Image de profil de l’hôte
As owner and operator of a very busy restaurant and brewpub in Oscoda Michigan since 1979, we began looking for a quiet escape where one could regroup and recharge far from the madding crowd. Born in Northeast Michigan, I grew up with a deep love of all things outdoors. Birdwatching, hunting, fishing, canoeing, boating and a love of the natural environment are all part of my life's endeavors. Oh, did I mention the love of great beer and wine also? lol

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

As fate would have it, my brother and his wife, Bob and Karen Wiltse, purchased the 400 acre Charity Island in the middle of Saginaw Bay in 1992. Bob and Karen built an inland marina and planned to sell a few exclusive lots and preserve the rest of the Island including the lighthouse tower and lighthouse keepers home. Soon thereafter, the Nature Conservancy got involved and the Island was purchased and placed into public ownership managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Bob and Karen kept the lighthouse property and a total of four parcels were left in private ownership. In 2007 Charity Island Lodge was constructed and the lighthouse keepers home was rebuilt. In the end, we got the dream getaway we worked a lifetime for and Charity Island got a couple of stewards to make sure she preserved in her natural and glorious condition.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Located in the middle of Saginaw Bay, at the mouth of Lake Huron, Charity Island is over eight miles from the closest points of land. Charity Island was named for it's safe harbor in the middle of what can on occasion be an angry sea. When spending the evening on Charity Island, there is nowhere else in the State of Michigan where you may be further than seven miles from the next human being. Passing freighters, a brilliant night sky, lapping waves and the comfort of knowing you are truly getting away from it all makes this property a one of a kind in Michigan.
