Quiet getaway

Quiet and peaceful retreat. The cottage is well-appointed with almost everything you could need. No WiFi and limited cell phone service on the island. No grocery store on the island, and two restaurants with limited hours. The kitchen is well equipped. The beach is very rocky so bring your water shoes. We enjoyed the Farmers Market and fresh donuts and a beautiful view of the northern lights. A wonderful place to unplug and unwind!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Cook

Residing in Texas, the Cook's love spending time at their home away from home, Bois Blanc Island.

Why they chose this property

Karen grew up spending summers on Bois Blanc, so when we had children, we wanted them to get to know the Island. The boys, like their parents have come to love and appreciate Bois Blanc with all its unique discoveries. We look forward all winter to spending our summers on the Island.

What makes this property unique

The privacy of Cook Cottage is what first attracted us to this property. The cottage is set away from the road, when we don't want to see or hear civilization, this is the perfect spot. The east end of the Island has beautiful sunrises and is close to Mary's Lake and trails for discovery. The beautiful view from the cottage down to Lake Huron provides an excellent view of wildlife including eagle, deer and the like. The cottage is bright and cheerfully decorated with a lighthouse decor.

Nights spent viewing the Milky Way from our beach front is uniquely spectacular, as we don't have the light pollution from the mainland. Awesome!!
