My friends and I stayed at the property and it was awesome. There are two things that need to be improved on is the Internet and the lack of a door and he carpet in the upstairs master bedroom. My friends and I got the unfortunate timing where it was cold and rainy for most of the trip so we stayed inside for most of the time. So we ended up watching television and playing board games or card games. Thankfully at the end Saturday we were able to make it outside and grill and have a bonfire. All the rooms were nice and even the bunk house. But one thing about the bunk house it is small so if you have tall people it may be an issue. One of the rooms with the bunk beds have a very low ceiling and could be a hazard if one of the party sits up and hits their head. Thankfully the owner was quick to respond to questions or comments and even came over to give us the Roku so we could stream. I would want to come back. By the way to throw trash away on the island costs money so it might be better to bring your trash back with you.

Amazing Stay

I cannot say enough great things about this property. The house itself was very spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. It had everything you could need in terms of cooking and cleaning supplies. Everything was in perfect condition. The property was unbelievable. We spent time relaxing on the porch, watching wildlife including bald eagles every morning, we enjoyed relaxing, kayaking, and fishing. In the evenings, we enjoyed a bonfire and stargazing. It’s quiet and great location close to the ferry dock as well as to the restaurant or general store if you wanted to visit those places. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

A little slice of heaven!

The location of this property is bliss. Nothing but relaxation watching the eagles, ferry and freighters pass by. Got to watch the osprey fish every and and the eagle chase it out of it's territory. Mornings spent on the porch are a special start to each day. A short walk along the beach takes you to a sand bar where the swimming is spectacular. Nice sandy beach with shallow water perfect for kids of all ages. Take a chair, sit or lay in the water and work on your tan. The house had everything you think of from linens, towels, soaps, and food staples. All the pots and pans needed to create a simple or gourmet meal are provided. The owner graciously allows garbage to go to the transfer station which other renters do not allow. Also, pop cans may be left. This was great! We didn't have to plan space for transporting trash & bottles off the island like in past years. Would definitely stay again! The owner was a pleasure to work with. Ready to plan next year's trip!

Perfect island getaway

If you want peace and relaxation this is the place. If you like trails and fishing this is also the place. Friendly people, great community feeling on the island and the property was just what we wanted. Steps from the water, smallmouth bite just steps away, and no one in site.

Will be Returning!

I had an amazing stay at the Lake Effect Lodge. The cabin was spotless, well-stocked, and thoughtfully prepared—it had everything I needed and then some. The setting was peaceful and secluded, the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. Bois Blanc Island itself is a hidden gem, full of natural beauty, quiet charm, and scenic trails. Robert was a great host—communicative, welcoming, and clearly cares about his guests’ experience. Two nights weren’t enough, and I’m already planning a return trip. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxing escape into nature.

Charming Lakefront Log House for Our Family Getaway

We had an amazing time at this cozy log house on Lake Huron! From the moment we walked in, we felt very comfortable and relaxed. The house was perfect for our family, and we loved every minute of our stay. We spent our days paddle boating on the lake, exploring the island, and just soaking in the beautiful surroundings. One of the highlights was celebrating my birthday under the strawberry moon—so cool! The kids had a blast filming their own movie, and we all enjoyed hanging out around the campfire and playing card games together. This place has a unique lakefront location and was the perfect getaway from the everyday busy life. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the birds was just what we needed. We left feeling totally refreshed and with so many great memories. We can’t wait to come back!

Lake Effect Lodge

Our stay at The Lake Effect Lodge was fabulous. The lodge was warm and inviting upon entering. The 4 teens loved having their own space in the bunk house, too. It was clean and spacious even when all 10 of us at the same time were gathered in it. Plenty of room for eating, playing cards, doing a puzzle or just relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked and roomy. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were very nice, too. The porch swing was a great place to “watch it all go by.” Beautiful view; Ducks, swans and eagles. Got to watch not only ships but the sailboats in the Port Huron to Mackinaw race. The kids loved fishing off the dock. We all went swimming off the sand bar and were able to dock our 19’ boat out front. In the early evening, we saw deer walking along the top of the sand bar out to the little island out front. We got to visit our relatives at their place on the western end of BBI and enjoyed The Outpost store, the little gift place just past the store, and of course, The Tavern, as well as the ferry ride over and back. So many nice people! Robert was an excellent host. Always friendly and concerned that everything was going well. Hoping to go again to the BBI Lake Effect Lodge. It’s a jewel!

Relaxing Stay on Bob-lo

The Lodge was a terrific place for a long family weekend. We found the property to be very roomy for 3 couples plus a dog. The front porch facing Lake Huron - with a porch swing, chairs, and picnic table - was one of our favorite spots. We found the Gas Grill clean and ready to go and used several times during our stay. The firepit came with a stack of dry wood which we really appreciated! We brought our kayaks and were very happy to launch from the beach for an easy paddle. This was the first time to BBI for most of us (my daughter had been once before), and we loved the slower, quieter pace of the Island. The Lodge was a great accommodation for our time there.

Family Vacation

I stayed at this property with my almost 2 year old daughter, teenage stepsons, husband, sister-in-law and mother-in-law. The property was beautiful! We loved that the water was mostly shallow so we didn't have to worry too much about our 2 year old getting into water over her head. BBI is a really fun island to explore. The highlight for the boys was the ATV rental day-- Robert provided contact information for ATV rentals and some other activities, which was a really nice touch. We can't wait to come back!

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!
