Kelley's Cove - Family Home

Kelley’s Cove has been a great family home for many years with lots of wonderful memories. It is conveniently located between the ferry and town. It has a great view, lots of wildlife, grass yard, and water access.

Kelley’s Cove is located towards the start of Fairbank Point, where the water starts on the southeast side (sunrises). Beautiful morning sunrises are across the water and to the left some. Kelley’s Cove is a dug-in bay which provides well protected water access and dockage. This is a great area for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and decent fishing. It is about 2.7 miles from the ferry dock and about 5.5 miles from town.

The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has had many additions and renovations. Being built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and without closets. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has a great water view and door access to the front deck. The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooking utensils, dishes, and pantry items (everything). There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Towels and linens are provided. Internet WiFi is provided and is good enough for streaming Youtube or Netflix.

Outside is a front deck with grill, table, and chairs. Out front is a dock providing a boat slip for you, while the other is for the caretaker’s boat. Often there is a swim raft in the bay. In the front yard, is a fire pit with log style seating and enough firewood provided for a campfire. There is a lot of wildlife in this area. Often two families of ducks are being raised in the cove, with plenty of deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in the lake or passing thru. The bay itself is about 6 ft deep and the bottom is not rocky or sandy, but muck(a squishy soft bottom). On the front right side of the yard, is a rarely used right of access to the water for some family members. On the satellite view, you will see outside the kitchen window is a private drive, which gets occasional use by people not knowing it is a private drive.

Had everything you could imagine in the kitchen and pantry. Extremely clean and better than described. Bed was very comfortable, television reception was great wi-fi was excellent. So, they even furnished kindling and the wood for the firepit and a gas grill with a full tank of propane. Excellent location and close to the ferry. The host Kari was w=very friendly and made us feel right at home. When we left we washed and dried the bed linens and remade the bed. Up to 5 deer at a time in the cove, sand hill cranes and even had loons. Extra dock where a friend was able to pick us up by boat for a 3 hour cruise and drop us back off. Highly recommend and will defentely go back.

Beautiful and peaceful. Highly Recommend
We had a great time. We fished and kayaked and shopped and ate in the local restaurants. It is beautiful and peaceful here. Very easy to go to Mackinaw Island, which was great. House was clean and we saw all kinds of wildlife. We fed the deer marshmallows by hand. Beautiful beach nearby for swimming.

Base Camp 2023
Kelley’s cove was exactly what was advertised. The place was spotless and I was blown away at how stocked the house was. We used this house as a base camp. The house is well placed and the sunrise is second to none. I would highly recommend this home. We will be back!

Kari & Jason were the ultimate hosts. They thought of your every need. This place is spectacular and we really enjoyed watching the deer and wildlife. We will definitely be back! The only thing I could suggest is having a few comfortable lawn chairs for us old people!

I have stayed here several times now. It's a comfortable home, with everything we need. The dock out front with calm waters in the bay is awesome. We always see lots of wildlife. I see there are some new appliances and other stuff around the house. Thanks

This place was AMAZING!! I am calling in the morning to see if we can have this EVERY year!!
We went to the Jeepin the Mac this weekend and had a blast! I tried getting a hotel room for it last minute and they were either booked or wanted a fortune for the room! I found this cozy little place on VRBO and decided to take a look! Pics online looked awesome so I decided to book it. Other friends wanted to stay with us (it holds 6...we had 2) and save everyone money so I told them they could! I had booked already, but the owner was AMAZING?! He and his wife were VERY hospitable! I'm going to call and see if we can stay there every year from here on out! Great place to stay!!

We were very impressed with this freshly updated cottage with a beautiful location and view. Everything was clean and well kept. The kitchen was very well stocked and organized. Property manager met us to let us in to the property, and left us with homemade cookies. Was such a nice touch. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Ps. We were surprised there is no TV, but did have internet access.

Long weekend getaway
We had an amazing weekend! I worked on the island 18 years ago and wanted to bring my husband and our 3 children, 15, 13, and 4 years old to the island and explore the island and places I didn’t get to explore while working. Jason was easy to communicate with and Kari did a great job giving us a tour of the home and answering questions about the island and the rental! We bought groceries and then found out that the pantry was fully stocked and we could use anything we needed. The kids loved using the paddle board, and kayaks, we raced around the cove, and even found a bunch of golf balls at the bottom the cove. The house was very nice and even better in person! I can’t say enough good things about the house and the Kelley family! We are already planning our next trip back to Kelley’s Cove!

Jeep Weekend
Kelley’s Cove was an excellent place to stay! Clean, easy to get to, close to the ferry! It was absolutely perfect for our weekend Jeep The Mac trip. Check in process was easy, we had friends arrive early and Kari accommodated them immediately. I would recommend this property to anyone that is visiting the island. Although we weren’t at the cabin much since we were out and about, we will be booking for more days next time. The only small issue we had was with the internet connection for our cells phone and TV which wasn’t a big deal since we were on an island and it’s expected in my opinion. Pretty typical for a secluded cabin. Thank you Jason and Kari for our wonderful stay! See you next year!
