About this business
The construction of Point Betsie Light began in 1854 and was completed in 1858 to look over the transport of ships on Lake Michigan. The lighthouse was extended to add a life saving station in 1875. The light was upgraded to the third order with bulls eye in 1880 after being originally equipped with a Fresnel Lens of the Fourth order. Standing at a height of 37 feet (11 meters), upgrades were made in the lens to reach higher distances and they currently use the VRB-25 optical system.

RecommendedI’ve watched a fall storm move in across Lake Michigan from the tower. I’ve crawled in and out of snow caves in the winter, along the same shore I wade in during the summer looking for petoskey stones. It’s one of my most favorite places on Earth. I’ve been to Point Betsie at least once a year for my entire life and it’s still just as beautiful every single time I see it. 😍
Was here in May with my husband George MP before the season opened but got lots of pretty pics. It was chilly out but so worth the time we stayed there enjoying the outside of the Lighthouse and seeing the beach. Hope to come back soon.
The best sunsets I've seen! Love staying in the apartment.
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in the world. To stand on the beach with the lighthouse in view is like being on the edge of heaven.
