Levi Ebersoldt, son of Meg and Vince Ebersoldt, owners of Deerwood is the 1st basemen and a Pitcher for the team....

We must find a way to pave at least the main circle around the island for emergency, life safety, environmental, tourism, tax payer value, and many more reasons. We shouldn’t have residents having to choose between environmental and personal health. We shouldn’t be arguing about how one ends up havi...

Unspoiled Beaver Island. Ecotourism and natural beauty a cornerstone of what we offer and a key component of all articles and marketing materials selling the island to the outside world. Let’s find a way to get the roads paved so we don’t have to show the world discussions about safe use of chemical...

One more reason it is in the island's best interests in so many ways to pave at least a circle around the island from 4 corners down east side drive, across Betsey Smith Trail and back up West Side past the airport to Barney's Lake Road and back to 4 corners. At a minimum, island tax payers should b...

Rich To be clear I appreciate the work you've done, the establishment of the forum (even if often frustrated by the infighting), respect your position, and respect even more your right to that position. I just think its imperative you either have a position or moderate. There are too many questions ...

Rich... With all due respect, and I hope I am not the only person on here who feels this way, its extremely difficult to achieve any sense of democratic validity on behalf of the discussion and immediately throws into question the integrity of the discussion to have the moderator of a forum actually...

Jeff, you hit the nail on the head. Tourism has proven an insufficient primary foundation of the economy with the short season and not enough visitors coming to draw/justify year round businesses beyond the base services such as groceries, hardware, etc. We have to find ways to bring consistent, job...

Ron's info and history is fascinating and much appreciated. I've been coming to the island for 20 years now, and every time Ron and I speak I learn new things I had no idea happened, mindsets that existed, ideas that were discussed, etc. His post this morning was enlightening, especially as it conce...

I have been a regular follower of the Forum for years now, utilizing it as a way to keep track of the big and small goings on on the island, but rarely do I comment. For the past six years it has been as a property owner with a vested interest in keeping track of the community announcements, communi...

Ron I want to thank you for stepping up and providing meaningful, tangible and valuable input into this discussion. As a seasonal resident with a very large property tax bill on the island, I think not only is proper due diligence to making sure every dollar is spent wisely in order to fairly and pr...

Deerwood is now available as a weekly in season rental and by the night or week during the off season.

As has been the case for years, we are excited to be members of the Beaver Island Community!

Thanks! It is our hope this individual will come forward and make good on the damage done. Unfortunately, once we submit the screen shots, video footage and file a complaint with the deputy, its in the court's hands. We would prefer to avoid that. It is hopefully merely a young man making a mistake....

Hi, Vince and Meg Ebersoldt, owners of Deerwood, here..... We need your help! As the owners of Deerwood, we understand the property is often the subject of curiosity and enjoy watching people peek in the windows. Whereas we enjoy that Deerwood is a part of the island and are very excited to share it...
