Summary

Cottage Massage announced that it was open for appointments from a new Beaver Island location near McDonough’s Market and the boat shop in December 2016.

Evidence limits

This is a first-party opening announcement, not a record of service volume or long-term operation.

Sources

  1. The operator announced a temporary practice hiatus for rotator-cuff surgery, estimated at roughly three months, and directed clients to other island massage providers. This first-party notice materially qualifies the 2016 opening record but does not establish an exact return date or long-term closure.

  2. The operator announced that Cottage Massage was booking appointments and offering gift certificates from a new space near McDonough’s Market and the boat shop. This first-party business announcement establishes the opening, not service volume or continuity.

  3. The operator advertised free five-minute introductory massages, gift certificates, and the new location beside the boat shop and bank. These are first-party promotional notices, not attendance or service-volume evidence.

  4. The operator announced another free five-minute massage event and gift-certificate sales, alongside a pottery seller. This documents promotion and a planned collaboration, not attendance or sales.

  5. After arranging transportation with neighbors’ help, the operator revised the free five-minute massage hours to 4–6 p.m. This documents a same-day schedule change, not attendance or service volume.

  6. The operator advertised a $10 discount on one-hour massages during January and directed clients to the new studio’s website and phone number. This first-party promotion confirms continued advertised operation, not bookings, sales, or service outcomes.
