About this property

Lake Life at its best! Enjoy this Cabin on Bois Blanc Island.

Enjoy the large deck and watch the freighters go by on beautiful Lake Huron. Nice 2-bedroom 1-bath cabin with a loft that is accessible by a wood ladder and has three twin beds. Large kitchen and sunroom with a breakfast nook, make this cabin the perfect weekend getaway!

Hang out on the deck or sit back and relax for the 45-minute ride aboard the "Kristen D" car ferry as it makes its departure out of Cheboygan, Michigan.

Check plaunttransportation.com for the current schedule and rates. You will want to book your tickets plenty in advance and be to the ferry dock at least 20 minutes before hand as they leave right on time.

Bring all of your food and necessities with you as there is only one small store located at the Island Diner with a very limited stock of items. The Island Diner is walking distance to the cabin and has good food and ice cream. There is a gas pump located at the diner as well, but I suggest filling up before you leave the mainland. The Island Tavern located aways East of the cabin also has good food.

We supply bags for you to bring your trash to the transfer station located near the ferry dock before you leave. If they are closed, you will need to take your trash with you as there is no service provided on the island.

If you would like to go to Mackinaw Island for the day you can reach out to Fresh Air Aviation, Inc.: www.freshairaviation.net and take the short airplane ride to get there.
There is a very nice airport located on the island and they can be reached at Bois Blanc Island Airport: http://www.airnav.com/airport/6Y1.

There are many trails, lakes, and beautiful sunsets to enjoy on Bois Blanc Island. If you have any questions about the island, please feel free to reach out to me.

This was our second stay at Northern Gratitude and it was as wonderful as our first. The cottage is very clean and well stocked. There is not a lot to do on the island except to relax and enjoy the Lake, sun rises and sunsets. We would definitely recommend staying at this cottage!

My wife & I had great time at this cabin. We explored a lot of island We had our fur babies Lady & Raider with us These two are giant Schnauzers. They enjoyed going on walks with us. We took both of them to the beach. Lady had a wonderful time chasing waves. Raider on the other hand could care less. He just wanted to play. Andy was wonderful. He answered questions quickly. He also had a water bowl filled for dogs. I highly recommend visiting this vacation rental. We enjoyed our week there and hope to visit again.

This is our second time staying here. Cabin is fully stocked and in a great location. Our boys enjoy being able to access the lake, walk to dock, diner and pier as well as bike to fishing locations. Deck is large and very comfortable. The new couch and lazy boy is appreciated. A lounge chair on the deck would be only improvement! Thanks again for sharing your home with us! We will be back!

This place has everything you need. All you have to bring is food. Everything worked. It’s a cute house. It would be great for kids. The place does have well water that is heavy on the iron (Bring your own water.) The house is really close to the Outpost. You have direct access to the water.

Loved the location and the views from this lake front cottage. Plenty of room for my husband, me and my two dogs. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no a/c. We have had some pretty hot steamy weather this year and so I was a bit concerned that would be an issue, but luckily for us it did cool down a bit and it wasn't a problem. Plenty of fans and a whole house ceiling fan to draw out the hot air was suffice. But it definitely didn't take away from the relaxation and serenity. They even had a water station set up for our pups. All the amenities you could ask for in a cottage. This, with all the friendly people, and so many outdoor activities around the island, we are definitely going to be coming back!!

Northern Gratitude delivered

We stayed in at this property for 4 days with 6 adults and 2 children. We also had our dog. The house was impeccably clean and well stocked. If we visited again, we would not have to pack much. It put our minds at ease. The view was beautiful and the location was within walking distance to several spots (dock, store, beach). There was more traffic on the road than anticipated, between the house and beach, which did impact how children and pet navigated area. Overall, would highly recommend this home for a Bois Blanc vacation.
