Photos and Description of the Bois Blanc Island vacation house rental
Beachfront 2 BR 1 BA Cottage on Lake Huron

Relax and get away from it all on Bois Blanc Island. Located in the Straits of Mackinac, ideal for those who desire a quiet serene escape to enjoy nature and watch the ships pass by. Surrounded by two acres of woods with a large rocky beachfront on Lake Huron, the only sounds you'll hear are those of the leaves rustling in the trees and the waves lapping on the shore. Swimming is available at your doorstep. Hiking and superb fishing at three inland lakes or on Lake Huron is an adventure. Bois Blanc Island is located minutes from Cheboygan where you'll catch the car ferry. Day trips to Mackinaw Island, Petoskey, Charlevoix or the Upper Peninsula are great options if you need a dose of civilization during your stay.

Notes: Over 100 feet of Lake Huron waterfront afford spectacular views from our East facing cottage. Our day begins with gorgeous sunrises and dramatic freighters and pleasure boats cruising Lake Huron to the stunning sight of cruise ships and freighters lit from stem to stern at night. You'll be awestruck when you see the Northern Lights from our beach at night. You'll know you're in a special place when viewing eagle, deer, turkey, loons, cranes and swans, butterflies and hummingbirds. Beautiful wooded drive from the main road down to the cottage provides privacy and seclusion. For your convenience we have a picnic table, child swing set and garden chairs. A large fire pit on the beach makes s-mores and a wiener roast a must during your stay. Starter supplies for cottage including toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish and hand soap are provided. All kitchen and bath linens provided. All bedding is provided.

Great quiet getaway!

Review Submitted: October 4, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
The cottage lived up to every detail in the ad. The island is truly beautiful, quiet and serene. The cottage was roomy, clean, comfortable and stocked with all our needs. We enjoyed seeing all the wild life including deer, fox, hummingbirds and bald eagles right outside the cottage. This is a great place to get away from it all and truly enjoy all that nature has to offer without the noise and business of everyday life. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to relax and get away from it all.

Review Submitted: April 13, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
To say I loved this place is an understatement! My favorite time of
the day was the morning I'd make coffee and go out to the
lake to watch the sunrise. Soooo peaceful. This is definately
a great place to get away from it all. Great bike riding and nice people
all over the island. If you like riding off the
beaten path - take a GPS ;-)

bois blanc vacation

Review Submitted: August 25, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
The house and property were just as the ad said. The house was spotless and very comfortable for my family of 4. The property was breath-taking and we saw many deer, and even a bald eagle. I would highly recommend this property if your looking for place to get away from the daily grind. We had a great vacation and recharged are batteries. We will be returning to this place again, of that I am sure.
