2 Bedroom House in Bois Blanc Island

Spend an idyllic week – or more – at this lovely cottage on coveted Snow Beach. The cottage is nestled in the forest, but walk out the door and you are on the path to paradise. Enjoy your morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs watching the spectacular sunrises, or sip your coffee while strolling the beach listening for the haunted cry of the loon and seeing what the waves brought in overnight. Days spent at the beach can be anything you choose but it will be an experience like no other. Whether you choose to float peacefully or play vigorously in the clear Lake Huron water, or relax in a lounge chair and watch the freighters pass, Snow Beach will delight and restore you. The island boasts numerous hiking trails to explore; several historic sites; a six-mile bike ride or drive will take you to the north shore where Mackinac island and the Mackinac bridge can be viewed, along with a pebbly beach where beach glass has been known to be found. There are three inland lakes for fishing - Lake Mary has a beautiful dock with benches so non-fishermen can be included in the fun.
Evenings at Snow Beach are magical: watch the deer strolling the beach at dusk; after dinner build a campfire and marvel at the night sky; or fall asleep to the soothing call of Poe Reef Light, which can be seen from the cottage.
The airy cottage is decorated in a pastel nautical theme with a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom with a stand-up shower. There is a collection of books on the Great Lakes and Bois Blanc Island history, and several games and puzzles are available for your enjoyment. There is also a TV with DVD player and a limited collection of movies. No Wi-Fi at the cottage but the the general store, Island Diner is under new ownership and may offer.

Summary: The cottage is very rustic and I found the bed to be uncomfortable, but the location more than makes up for it. Being right on the beach with the view of Lake Huron was fantastic. It's a great spot to go off the grid for a week to relax. It requires some additional up front planning since you're on the island and can't run to a store if you forget something, but that's a positive to me because if you've prepared well, you never need to leave the beach. One of the few vacations I've taken in the past several years where I wasn't ready to go home. The host is excellent and was very communicative.

Summary: To say you will be transported to a place of peace and kindness is an understatement! The water is gorgeous— we all swam everyday and the sunrises are glorious. It is a rarity to find such a view and we’ve been coming to the Great Lakes for 15+ years! I cannot recommend it enough and the hosts are prompt and amazingly accommodating! It’s a best kept secret and we will be back ! ❤️

Summary: I have traveled all over the world and nowhere rivals the viewnfeom The Cottage at Snow Beach. It is truly spectacular. To have front door access to your own private beach in a cove of only a few other houses on a.rural island is magical. The water changes every day. The colors are glorious. And the cottage is retro perfection. Just what we were looking for to take our 8 year old to experience the beach without sharks! And i loved that the beach had pine trees instead of palm. Perfect combo of beach and mountain feel. Quiet. Calm. Nature. And awesome island natives. Everyone was so helpful from cottage manager to the owners to the tavern employees. I accidentally left my engagement ring behind (can YOU imagine?!?!?) They made sure my ring was on the next ferry! We had breakfast in Cheboygan while we waited to retrieve it. So grateful for how the owners went above and beyond to drop off my ring with the ferry owner for safe travel. I read 3 books with my feet in the water. While our 8 year old frolicked in the very shallow water swimming and floating. We flew a kite and relived all the best vacation memories of our youth. Oh...and I cannot forget the dancing monarchs in the dune right in front of the Adirondack chairs. From.caterpillar to chrisyalis to butterfly....you can see all the stages in their glory. We already booked again for next year! So I guess you could say we are in love with.this cottage and this island.

Summary: The location is simply amazing. My wife & I stayed for a week with our two golden retrievers. The vast majority of our time was spent on the beach. I couldn't get over how clean & clear the water was and the color - if I didn't know better I would have thought we were in the Caribbean! There are some rocks on the beach but only a step or two and then you're back on the amazing white sand beach. The house is rustic but the bed is very comfy, the kitchen has pretty much everything you could need and there is a TV and a nice collection of DVD's & games for your evening entertainment. I also need to mention that the owners and property managers were very responsive and helpful. They provided some great tips such as book your ferry ride early. The ferry does leave right on time and if you're not there you will have to wait and see if there is room on the next trip. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back in the future.

Summary: We had an amazing time in the cottage. There are a few minor critiques (light out in frig, not all of the outlets work, knob off light switch). The cottage could use some updating but nothing detracts from the VIEW! If you are looking for luxury, this is not your cottage. HOWEVER, if you want to unplug, relax and reconnect this is the place. I would return to the cottage in a heartbeat. The location can not be beat. The island is rustic and an explorers dream. My kids loved playing in the crystal clear lake. The host answered all questions quickly. We all hope to make a return to Snow Beach soon.

Summary: My husband and I arrived on the island with not much preconceived notions. The house sits smack on the beach perfect for leaving our kayaks on the shore for daily ventures. Lake Huron is on the cold side but the water is so clear I couldn’t resist a daily swim. The best part is the sound of the lake waves lulling you to sleep. The host and the property manager were easy to contact and did everything possible to make sure we had a pleasant stay.

Summary: The beach and area, in and around the cottage, is just about the most perfect lake stay I’ve experienced with my family! The sand is soft, the area all natural with milk weed and butterflies and the water is spectacular. AMAZNG sunrises and sunsets, with stargazing late at night!! Warm water in the afternoons, which makes it easy to tour some of the island sites during the morning hours! Easy ferry ride to and from Cheboygan! A local Cheboygan fishing charter picked us up right at the BBI dock. Peaceful area, nice neighbors and residents! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise with others!! It’s one of the best and most relaxing trips our busy family has had in many years!! Your island is pure joy!!!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay and met so many people that lived on the island. The ferry ride was great coming and going. We ate outside on the picnic bench for every meal and enjoyed the view. The picnic table does need new wood. We will come back next year for more exploring.

Summary: We were unable to make it to our cottage due to the Ferry service , who I will not name because we gave them a negative comment on their Facebook page and their Trolls started sending us hateful messages. Our vacation was ruined after almost a year of planning and 9 plus hours of driving. This is in no way a reflection on the property owners, they were very understanding and sympathetic and refunded our money. We are very heartbroken and hope this doesn’t happen to some other family.
