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.

Well-kept cottage on the water

My family enjoyed our time at this property for the second summer. Three couples stayed here, using the 2 bedrooms and the loft sleeping area. The supplies provided were more than enough: extra beach towels, dishes, cookware, etc. There is a large second fridge which was epic for storing our food for the trip as there isn’t a traditional grocery store on the island. There is a large wrap-around deck, the front yard has a fire pit and a nice view, and there are 2 options for dining areas. It’s obvious that the faucet water is from a well due to taste, but the hosts brought a jug of drinking water our first day. And the property is slated for a new well which will be great. Bring a few additional gallon jugs and water bottles that you can use in the kitchen and you’ll be all set.

Nice Getaway

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.

Family vacation

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!

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.

Great Escape!

Awesome place to unplug and enjoy the water and remote setting. House is well stocked and very suitable for families. If your plan is to get away from the grind and enjoy a peaceful setting that offers hiking and many off road/outdoor activities, this is the place!

Peaceful Island

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!

Great place to get away!

We had a great stay at Northern Gratitude! The home was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of kitchen ware for our big family. The only thing missing was a dishwasher to my kids chagrin! The only other surprise was the water, there is a lot of iron naturally in the water, and so it tastes like a copper penny, and stains white clothing orange. Bring a water filter if you are sensitive to water taste. The people on the island were super friendly and we had a great time unplugging from life!

Absolutely Perfect!

The location was perfect! It was close to the ferry and the diner. The view of the Lake was right out the front of the cabin. I have never seen so many deer...right in the front and back yard every morning and night. This location was quiet and tranquil without being deep in the woods. We enjoyed the Fall colors and cooler fresh air. It was a perfect long weekend that was relaxing and fun! We will definitely be back!

Total Relaxation

Perfect location and property for kicking back and enjoying the lake view and bonfires (firewood provided!). Nice home with a huge deck. Peaceful with deer sightings every day. We walked the beach every day. Excellent internet connection and lots of TV channels. Everything we needed supplied. Owners always replied to questions. Just a 10 minute walk to The Diner for excellent pizza, beer and delicious ice cream. We rented a Side-by-Side and explored many trails on the island. Fishing at Lake Thompson.

Great Week on BBI

We had a wonderful, relaxing week on the island. This property is exactly as advertised; what an excellent location, especially for those who have not been to the island before since it is conveniently located on the "main road" and near the diner, etc. Thanks for hosting us!
