Washington Island has its own version of Starbucks. The “Red Cup” is a cozy and unique coffee house serving up “killer coffee”, smoothies etc. as well as great pastries, bagels and sandwiches. It is an eclectic delight where islanders and visitors alike come to either sit on the charming porch or sink into a vintage couch indoors to relax and chat with each other, strangers and friends alike. There are artsy things for sale from one of a kind pieces of jewelry to hand-made shawls and pottery. This is not your average souvenir venue nor will you find your average souvenirs here! What you will find is a warm and inviting haven to have a great cup of joe and put up your feet. By the way, right next door is a terrific book store well worth a look-see.

Above & Beyond Cottage

This is the view of the cottage from the driveway that leads down to the residence. As you can see, the house is quite secluded; it is set-back in the woods and perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There are stairs which lead down to the pristine rocky beach below. Extremely quiet and very private!

Front View of Above & Beyond

This is the front view of the charming cottage. It faces beautiful Lake Michigan and because of the way it is situated, it gets almost constant sunlight. Countless guests have passed their days relaxing on the deck. Lounge chairs (not shown) are included for maximum relaxation.

The Long & Winding Road

This is the long driveway, leading from the main road, MacDonald Road on Washington Island. It is less than a minute’s drive to the cottage but, is all you need to put you “off the beaten path”. Privacy is one of the key features to this fantastic Wisconsin cottage rental!
