About this property

Spend an idyllic week – or more – at this lovely cottage on coveted Snow Beach. The cottage is nestled in the forest, but walk out the door and you are on the path to paradise. Enjoy your morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs watching the spectacular sunrises, or sip your coffee while strolling the beach listening for the haunted cry of the loon and seeing what the waves brought in overnight. Days spent at the beach can be anything you choose but it will be an experience like no other. Whether you choose to float peacefully or play vigorously in the clear Lake Huron water, or relax in a lounge chair and watch the freighters pass, Snow Beach will delight and restore you. The island boasts numerous hiking trails to explore; several historic sites; a six-mile bike ride or drive will take you to the north shore where Mackinac island and the Mackinac bridge can be viewed, along with a pebbly beach where beach glass has been known to be found. There are three inland lakes for fishing - Lake Mary has a beautiful dock with benches so non-fishermen can be included in the fun.

Evenings at Snow Beach are magical: watch the deer strolling the beach at dusk; after dinner build a campfire and marvel at the night sky; or fall asleep to the soothing call of Poe Reef Light, which can be seen from the cottage.

The airy cottage is decorated in a pastel nautical theme with a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom with a stand-up shower. There is a collection of books on the Great Lakes and Bois Blanc Island history, and several games and puzzles are available for your enjoyment. There is also a TV with DVD player and a limited collection of movies. No Wi-Fi at the cottage but the the general store, Island Diner is under new ownership and may offer.

Relaxing and peaceful

My husband and I arrived on the island with not much preconceived notions. The house sits smack on the beach perfect for leaving our kayaks on the shore for daily ventures. Lake Huron is on the cold side but the water is so clear I couldn’t resist a daily swim. The best part is the sound of the lake waves lulling you to sleep. The host and the property manager were easy to contact and did everything possible to make sure we had a pleasant stay.

Perfect beach setting!!

The beach and area, in and around the cottage, is just about the most perfect lake stay I’ve experienced with my family! The sand is soft, the area all natural with milk weed and butterflies and the water is spectacular. AMAZNG sunrises and sunsets, with stargazing late at night!! Warm water in the afternoons, which makes it easy to tour some of the island sites during the morning hours! Easy ferry ride to and from Cheboygan! A local Cheboygan fishing charter picked us up right at the BBI dock. Peaceful area, nice neighbors and residents! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with others!! It’s one of the best and most relaxing trips our busy family has had in many years!! Your island is pure joy!!!

We were so busy enjoying the outdoors that we enjoyed the beach so much.

We really enjoyed our stay and met so many people that lived on the island. The ferry ride was great coming and going. We ate outside on the picnic bench for every meal and enjoyed the view. The picnic table does need new wood. We will come back next year for more exploring.

Ferry service

We were unable to make it to our cottage due to the Ferry service , who I will not name because we gave them a negative comment on their Facebook page and their Trolls started sending us hateful messages. Our vacation was ruined after almost a year of planning and 9 plus hours of driving. This is in no way a reflection on the property owners, they were very understanding and sympathetic and refunded our money. We are very heartbroken and hope this doesn’t happen to some other family.
