Absolutely gorgeous and relaxing! Herb and his wife, Mari, own the entire little peninsula and have…read morenumerous cabins as well as a B&B in this space. We had the 'big cabin' for two nights. It was complete with linens and a full kitchen stocked with dishes. Definitely rustic but the entire island is. Fire pits, kayaks, rowboats, grills, playground, and stone beach all available to use for no extra charge! Next time we plan to try fishing here! Really can't say enough good about this place and the Gibsons.

Gibson's Resort was like a summer house to me for the first 10 years of my life! We would come up…read morehere every summer for about a week and spend time out on the Island. If you have never been to Washington Island, it is a real treat. It is totally different from the hustle and bustle that city live requires. I don't remember ever staying anywhere else besides Gibson's since we have been coming up here. Herb and his family have always been extremely nice to my family in welcoming us into their home. Essentially, that is what Gibson's is. There home. The resort used to be an old loggers house. About 20 rooms fill the top of the house, all complete with the exactly what you need for your stay - a bed and a dresser. No bathroom you say? Correct! That's what the outdoors are for.. Just kidding. There is a bathroom, but it is located towards the end of the hall. There is a men's washroom and a women's washroom, complete with a stand up shower and sink (and toilet). If you are looking for the following: *Luxury *Air conditioned splendor *Suites or executive style beds *Continental Breakfast You will not find those here. What you will find is peace, quiet and one of the most beautiful views of Lake Michigan you have ever seen, at an affordable price. As well as the rooms, Gibson's offers several cabins to rent as well, however, if you are looking to book a cabin, you better know you need one about a year and a half in advance because that's how far out the bookings are! If you just want to enjoy the beauty of Washington Island without breaking your bank, Gibson's is the way to go. It's old fashioned, it's beat up, but it feels like home.

Adventure Island Miniature Golf- 18 challenging holes * Pub and Grill The course itself is beautiful with open fairways and no houses or buildings to really worry about. It is a great course for beginners as well because if you are golfing during the week, and the Island isn't busy, you can spend your time working on your game! Prices are decent, and they have morning/twilight rates too!

The shower head is the kind that sprays a very fine mist, so you have to turn it hot so that it isn't too cool before it hits your body. But you can't beat the price or the location.

Our stay was exceptional, highlighted by three unforgettable moments that captured the essence of…read moretrue hospitality and natural beauty. One evening, we sat by the fire with other guests, and the experience proved transformative. The crackling flames created a natural gathering point where conversation deepened without effort. Their warmth matched the firelight, and we felt genuinely welcomed. This shared experience fostered a real sense of belonging. Another time we were sitting in front of our room and a couple that brought their entire family welcomed us and we sat and spoke for at least 90 minutes. We learned about their story, where they came from, and why they came to The Town Liner every year. The next morning, our walk on the closed loop rewarded us with an unexpected gift: two deer suddenly bounded across the field in perfect synchronization. That moment reminded us to slow down and trust what the landscape offered. What sets this place apart is the hosts' attentiveness to detail and genuine care for guests. They transformed a simple getaway into something truly memorable. We'll return.

A nice little inn, minutes from the ferry and the main street of the island where most of the…read morerestaurants are situated. Nice, little but not fancy. But you are not going to Washington Island to be fancy; stay at home to wear your Channel and frolic in satin sheets. You are warned. The double room is rather on the small side but has a bed, a sofa, a few lamps, a TV/DVD set and an attached bathroom. The bed is TINY and squeaky - so be prepared for a bed night of sleep or just send your significant other on the sofa in the middle of the night (works best for couples over 2 years). But what sold me on the place is the free bikes available to all guests. There are plenty of them, and you can even used tandems if it strikes your fancy (I tried and didn't like it AT ALL but who knows?!?). Very nice to go all around the island. Don't miss it. Several grills, chaise chairs and a fire pit and also there for your comfort. Take advantage of it. A solid option on the other side of the Death's Door.
