Arranging for Your Time at Tara's Meadow
Tara's Meadow offers quiet, comfortable, and inexpensive "glamping" overnight facilities in the heart our 30 acre meadow and forest sanctuary. Unwind beneath the Milky Way in an official Monarch Butterfly Meadow preserve, and with the sightings of wildlife and sounds of the occasional Sand Hill Crane, Barred Owl, and Common Loon to grace your solitude and rest. Tara's Meadow is perfectly situated for nature lovers as a Dark Sky Nature site, with Beaver Island’s larger official Dark Sky Preserve just a short walk away. In addition to the birding, butterflies, and wildlife found on location, we offer close access to lakes and trails, marshes and other nature preserves nearby, including Miller's Marsh Natural Area and beautiful Greene's Lake with its 300-year-old oaks on the shore.
Your host Seamus is available as an official Island Tour Guide and offers guests a variety of other “guest sojourn” services.
