Summary
Harbor View II Motel opened in 1971 on the hill across from Beaver Island’s ferry dock. Walter and Vera Wojan built and operated it with the original Harbor View, offering housekeeping and overnight units and planning year-round operation.
Evidence and limits
The Beacon says a bubble-top swimming pool was planned, not that it was built. It does not provide a street address or construction date.
