Island Getaway on BBI - Beautiful Log Home with Sandy Beachfront on Lake Huron

This gorgeous log home has a million dollar view of Gull Island and the Straits of Mackinac, located on Michigan's best kept secret; Bois Blanc Island. 3 bedroom home, 2 baths, 265' of sandy beachfront, with a private dock. A must see one of a kind experience!

Come explore Bois Blanc Island, a 45 minute ferry ride from Cheboygan Mi.

This unique log home, we call the BBI Lake Effect Lodge, is constructed of 18" logs and is magnificent to behold. The setting is very private with no nearby neighbors, yet the location is close to the Tavern, Diner, Ferry, and other attractions. A large private dock with good fishing for smallmouth bass is right out front. A campfire in the firepit is always a popular gathering spot.

The kitchen is fully stocked, just bring your own food. A washer and drier is available for use.

BBI offers many trails for hiking , 4-wheeling, and bicycle riding. Side-by-side vehicles are available for rent nearby.

Fishermen and hunters are welcome. Fish for salmon, lake trout, smallmouth bass in Lake Huron or try one of 4 large inland lakes for perch, walleye, pike, bullheads, and small mouth bass. BBI has hundreds of acres of state owned hunting land and has a plentiful deer population. BBI is also a popular destination for duck hunters.

Sons wedding

Picture of surroundings and outside of lodge seemed accurate. I would highly recommend updating the bedding of the rooms. The main house is definitely more of a hunting lodge. Host was available if needed.

Everything we needed

We were impressed how the owners thought of every detail someone would need at a cabin stay on an island! They supplied more than enough towels and bathroom supplies, more than enough lawn chairs, bonfire wood and games, more than enough kitchen supplies including spices we forgot for our steak on the grill, more than enough bedding supplies, laundry and cleaning supplies if we needed it. It was a carefree stay with the best view, warm porch, and convenient location from the ferry and restaurant/bar. Thank you for everything!

This is what Paradise looks like!

This was my fourth time on the Island and this year I wanted to share the island with my family. The cabin we stayed at had almost everything you could even think of needing. People had even left some food in the kitchen in case you forgot something. We left some behind too for the next group! The rooms are spacious and some even include air mattresses which really came in handy for my 72 year old mother. She isn't used to sleeping in the same bed as my father because he generates too much heat for her (lol) so she really enjoyed the comfortable air mattress that was in the closet. The tiny house outside is perfect for those pesky teenagers as we had 3 that we were quite glad to get away from in all their angst. The beauty of the nature in this space is amazing. Our kids caught snakes at the docking area (just water snakes none poisonous). Its also very safe for little kids as the sand bar surrounding it keeps the little cove pretty shallow. The currents aren't strong inside the cove even when they are strong beyond the sand bar. We loved watching the deer cross the water to the little thicket on the sand bar each night for safety. The fire pit was beautiful and the stars at night are mesmerizing. All in all everything was absolutely great! If I had to add a couple Cons to be honest I would say the mattresses definitely need a update for comfort! Also the black flies are horrendous but there isn't really much the owner of this property can do about nature. :) ty
