Belleview Cottage - Fall Tour 🍁

This cottage has a special place in my heart as it was one of the first big jobs I had on Mackinac Island.
Join me as I take you all around this gorgeous property and share some insight on the design process.
Cheers!

Thanks for being so mindful to what's important with nature's bounty gracing the lovely homes on the magical island. You are the Best!!!

[@rdoucette2953]

What a delightful surprise to open up KZbin to find another Cottage Tour. It was completely unexpected in November, but very much enjoyed. Keep up the great work!

[@denisewood75]

I have been to Mackinac Island before I found your channel. You have given me a much deeper appreciation for it now. Your love of plants and creating special places is magical. Thank you.

[@amyjones2490]

I love how you enjoy your creations so much. It’s like a friend giving a tour.

[@dianericci325]

I just feel the love you have for nature, it’s contagious. ..love what you do.😍

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Another gorgeous house and landscaping you did thanks for giving us a tour of memories past. Look forward to the next one.

[@glenloderhose5331]

Thanks Jack for taking us along.

[@margaretf6147]

Love these tours, even after years of visiting each summer, I learn so much about the island. I also get so many great ideas from you for my own garden. I so look forward to these 😊👍🏼💞

[@catherineengle4196]

Jack...I love your job...lol. The places you take us are just magical. That is such a beautiful cottage. The rock scaping and landscaping make that cottage really unique. Absolutely beautiful. God bless

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Thanks

[@elu1]

As always I enjoyed this type of tour... Thanks Jack!

[@StuartRogoff-o4o]

How much you care and your pride is so fantastic. You are one of the great talents of Mackinac Island.

[@eileenchang2173]

Jack keeps on creating all these pockets of garden heavens! I also appreciate the filming with the drone views so one can really understand the scale of the land. Thanks for the tip on the copper wrap around the fence posts ! 🍁🇨🇦

[@lisac.norman8096]

I believe God took care of those trees for this family! IT IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL. thanks so much for this tour lovely place in the back! I would love to watch you build another stone wall they are what sets of the yard and i love the barn space

[@jnlantes2000]

💚💝THANKS!! BELLEVILLE COTTAGE!! FOR INVITING US FOR THE TOUR 💚💝

[@itsmewende]

You're leaving a beautiful legacy on that island. Just now hit me after watching since you started your channel, the air there must be so healthy to breathe in, no pollution from car exhaust.

[@lynnthow1650]

Another Jack Barnwell and Team beauty! I love all of the beautiful pathways, stonework, and places to sit and enjoy the spectacular views!

[@liontribeofjudah5616]

Beautiful cottage..and all the stacked rock walls, stairs and pathways are amazing. Thanks for sharing this property design..brightened my dreary day!

[@christinepops5100]

Your stone work is as impressive as your garden and landscape design. How wonderful to use every stone on the property. The native stone along with the natural planting style brings the perfect authenticity to this property. I always enjoy seeing your tours, thank you.

[@Lvaladez114]

We need more of this in our world. Simply stunning. 🥰

[@marthariddle258]

Thanks for the tour of this beautiful space! It is very obvious you love what you do. Dream job!!!

[@kristie5981]

Jack , been following you and your wonderful videos since Laura came to the island for the Grand Garden Show! My husband and I have dreamed of coming for 40 years and finally came last week! Stunning, gorgeous! I LOVE the island and cannot wait to come back! I even approached and got to talk to you of your crew at the ferry dock!!! I was thrilled. Hope to meet you some time in the spring or summer!!!! You are a gardening genius !!! So love your creations, passion and vision!!!

[@joycetaggart3123]

You love your work and it shows!! thanks Joyce

[@Stephaniescp]

I was sad we didn't get the wink and grin at the beginning but Jack more then made up for it in the end. I love these tours with him, especially the ones where he worked on them a few years ago. Seeing the vision mature must be so satisfying.

[@lorikolecki3321]

Jack I live in the inner city in Northern Indiana on a double city lot, I’m also a 24 hour caretaker for my handicapped husband with MS. If a miracle ever happened to have this property designed for a power wheel chair for him to enjoy nature I’d be ecstatic!! Those wonderful seating areas and stone were so inspiring!! Love your design and videos.

[@ettwells4024]

Love your work!

[@hilltopbrenda]

I too love Copper Beech. My friend introduced me to her 25 year old specimen and then locally they have several in the old cow pasture at Longwood Gardens. Awesome tree! I appreciate your long term vision. We have much native stone in my area as well and that s how I feel when we hit a “gold mine” of rocks. I use them all over our property. My gardening friends are “jelly” of this on site treasure. There are lots of DuPont estate gardens in my area for the public to visit and years later you see their vision that went into the plantings.

[@gardengal26]

Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!💗

[@ginafriend1690]

Maybe it's the variety of trees, but I'm surprised there's isn't more fall colors. We have alot of color in IL. Leaves are falling as well.

[@PuthieLeTarte]

Hi from Pensacola Florida. I love your videos. Just dreamy!!!

[@thelampfamily6290]

❤️ the seasonal garden tours you give on Mackinac Island - thank you!! Also, I don’t know any other way to describe it but it’s just magic on how you use the materials (limestone, Moss,etc) found on these properties and they just blossom and shine as the new and old grow and age together. This is best type of landscaping!

[@carolfield8803]

Thank you. Oh I do love these tours. They're dreamy.

[@reader649]

Thanks so much Jack for this more personal tour of your thought processes and memories associated with your landscape creations and the wonderful historical properties there. Where some would see useless objects, you see delightful nuance and sublime beauty to be created and cherished. You are a sensitive, thoughtful and resourceful artist. Mackinac Island is fortunate to have you and your crew around.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Loved the tour! Thanks Jack!

[@anitahadley2871]

I think this is one of my favorite cottages and gardens. The stone work you created is amazing. I can’t believe anyone would want to take all of that off site. I have some coneflowers that germinated this year and they are just now blooming. Quite odd but I’ll take it.

[@mariawells8026]

You have such an amazing vision for gardens and landscaping! Quite gifted. I wish we could see the decor inside some of these stunning homes. Great job!

[@dora59]

You’re so enthusiastic! I feel that way about rocks and trees too. Enjoyed the tour.

[@carolpipher4839]

🐿🦔🦃 ~Love these garden tours!! Keep em coming JB! ~Bless you & your team! 🍂

[@mpell7496]

I just learned a few new things that I can do in my garden - namely how to spread more of the cone flower seeds. Thank you, Jack!!

[@brianandkimwolverton7348]

Such a fun tour - so interesting about the different siding styles related to the original cottage & addition, the effects & unexpected blessing the wind storm brought, hearing about your history with this special home, your excitement for the rocks… ! Thank you as always - especially post-season!

[@bettyharvath5217]

Sad to think of how much we missed on our visit to the island in June, I should have watched Jacks videos before we went.

[@JordanWBarr]

Love your content, Jack. I know you’ve been doing more of these re-visits. But I’d love to see you post a video about the stuff you cut out to do. Like this Fall cleanup. What does it entail? What’s a good fall cleanup mean? etc. Keep up the awesome content!

[@mollypitcher9380]

Hi Jack! Happy Summer! You are an artist.

[@lisasantoro4724]

I enjoyed your video very much. It's a magical place to visit. I got to tour a few cottages during a grand garden show about 5-6 years ago. I love your style and love for the beauty of nature. Thanks for the tour!

[@cherigreen4471]

I love your stonework and how wonderful that you could collaborate with the carpenters to create a more beautiful space with the rock!

[@sharongauss9298]

Breaks my heart to see all those pretty annuals yanked out to compost. How great would it be to pot them up ( I know you have lots of pots) and sell them or give them away in town or at the ferry dock!

[@jeannebrinkman8889]

Awesome 🍁

[@vickiehollandburch1285]

Love your creativity!

[@fitforever22]

So gorgeous!

[@kendallricker9633]

Love the areal shots, such a wealth of history and water. After settling in the dryer west, I can always appreciate photos of the home state. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next installment.

[@gregoryowens529]

Would enjoy a video of how you do your fall clean up from start to finish on a property.

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Workin on it

[@marygoode1058]

Love, love, love these videos...and beautiful Mackinac Island!

[@beckyscheller9358]

Love the tour. Thanks for showing.

[@kimpatience6505]

Love and love your videos! I want to visit Mackinaw Island next summer!

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

See you there!

[@friedahickman3164]

Thank you for showing this beautiful landscape. Great to see how it has matured.

[@kbechtel33]

Great information 👍

[@geneswiech4381]

Jack is the man … Amazing job 👍 # 1 fan from Pittsburgh

[@cchr932]

you are a very happy man

[@Edu_Kate]

I think I've seen this home before, maybe when Laura and Aaron from Garden Answer met up with you. I remember showing the video to my friend who has a beautiful home on a much smaller lake than yours just west of Minneapolis. She and her husband renovated their upper landscape (front yard) with this design as their inspiration. They put a flagstone pathway down the center surrounded by peonies, perennials and grasses and looped it around with more plants inside. It's timed so something is always in bloom. I wish you could see the photos.

[@judymiddleswart9350]

So love these tours! Awesome footage!!👍❤️

[@whitehouseloft5205]

What a beautiful place. I always enjoy watching your videos. The island is a magnificent place. Someday I will visit the island but until then I will just enjoy your videos.

[@sharongauss9298]

Will you show us the renovation of the cottage that burned down during a couples’ wedding reception?

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Yes-! Full video coming this spring~~~

[@allysonh6410]

Even put away the furniture?! Geez are you the hired help or what. 🤣👍🙌🙌 that would be wonderful. I'm trying to figure out where ima put all this "furniture" I put on the porch. I had have but... now what 🥴🤭😂😂

[@allysonh6410]

Jack those stones how you used them from the site... Incredible. I love it . VERY talented. Thank you for respecting the land and Using the resources there

[@travisdaughenbaugh9801]

Great video! Were those green giants by the barn by chance?

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Just native northern white cedar

[@bidergilette5356]

Great video! How do you mow lawns on the island? Is gasoline available?

[@loriswain8140]

Jack, what happens to the horses that live in those barns throughout the winter? Does someone feed them and care for them? Are they taken off the island?

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Almost all of them leave the island for the winter homes where they have more room to roam and get shaggy :)

[@marilynmourdock3688]

As beautiful as fall is, I get very sad when the first killing frost takes out my annuals. What do you do, Jack, to get a flower fix in winter? Do you grow things in a greenhouse?

[@judyp4421]

Jack goes to Naples!!🌴🌴🌴

[@carolmilburn489]

He goes to Florida

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Yes…. I’m in Naples planting all winter !!
