Summary

Island Cottage Watch was advertised in June 2000 as a Beaver Island service for inspecting, watching, maintaining, building, and remodeling cottages. The advertisement names Mike and Kelly Collins and gives 27150 Paid Een Og’s Road as the business address.

The record preserves the directory advertisement and reported road address. It does not establish incorporation, licensing, parcel ownership, or complete operating dates.

Open questions

  • Which parcel and building correspond to 27150 Paid Een Og’s Road?
  • What services and years of operation can later directories confirm?
  • Are business or contractor records available?
