Beautiful house and setting.
Our whole group (ages 5-61) enjoyed being at BBI Lake Effect Lodge. Beautiful, spacious, log home in a stunning location. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water along the sand bar. Great fishing off the dock. Nice lakeside fire pit and plenty of seating available. 100% recommend.

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!

Perfect getaway!
This was our 6th girls only island getaway and it was perfect. Mr. Cochran has everything you could need in the kitchen, bedroom, cleaning supplies, games, working wifi….. It was so well equipped that I took notes as host for our own rental. The 6 of us highly recommend this cottage.

Will come back
The property is in a great location, close to the ferry and the tavern. The water was nice and there were sand bars all around to walk out onto from the property. The locals are all very friendly and helpful. There was no power at the bunkhouse, so no lights or AC, so we hope that will be fixed before our next visit. Overall, a great relaxing place to unwind!

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.

Lakefront stay
This cabin was everything our family wanted and more! We had 5 adults, 1 teenager, and 3 kiddos ages 9 and 11 and all of us loved it! There was fishing, bird watching, nightly campfires, yard games, etc. There was plenty of room for all of us to sleep and be comfortable. We arrived on the island early and the property owner was very flexible with letting us drop some items off. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend to anyone!

Spacious modern cabin on the water
Stayed with a group of seven adults and at no time did the cabin feel at all cramped. One of the highlights of the trip was the amount of wildlife that we were able to see just from the back yard of the cabin including hummingbirds, bald eagles, deer, and a beaver that swam past in the lake one evening. This cabin, and Bois Blanc Island, are perfect for any person, group, or family that really wants to get away and out into nature in a truly unique setting.

Even better than expected
Beautiful, secluded one of a kind cabin that was clean, fresh smelling and roomy. Great small mouth bass fishing right off the dock. Local host very informative and responsive to questions and requests. Large yard for family games and wonderful covered front porch with swing to gather, view lake and watch the freighters go through The Straights.

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!

Wildlife sanctuary on a quiet island!
Roberta place is great. Very relaxing atmosphere with lots of wildlife viewing opportunity. We went as a boating vacation and the size of our boat (31’, 3’ draft) meant that we had to dock at the island marina. The dock on the property could only take a boat with a draft of less than 2’ maybe, but it would still be tight. The bottom is rocky, so you do not want to risk running aground. The municipal marina was easy to use and had room for 5-7 transients as long as they are not too big. We had a great time at the lodge and appreciated the tranquil atmosphere it provided.

Great location with beautiful view!
This is a beautiful property that worked just great for my family of five. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The house is clean and comfortable. It's great for swimming and the outdoor fire pit was a perfect place to watch the sunset. The only suggestion is to clear up that when it says 5 bedrooms, it is referring to a very small out building that has two bedrooms. I can't imagine they would be very comfortable if the weather was either too hot or cold. We only used the main house and that was very, very nice!

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!

Our first trip to Bois Blanc Island did not disappoint. Wow!
Bois Blanc Island is Beautiful. We enjoyed the nature. Lots of Monarch Butterflies right off the front porch. The night sky with the awesome stars and Northern Lights. Our accommodations were a life size Lincoln Log Cabin with a full front porch and swing. The Lake Effect Resort cabin was clean and welcoming. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for- peaceful and calm. Robert, the property owner, was available and responsive. Our group included adults and teenage boys. Lake Effect Resort offered activities for all- rock skipping in the water, checkers and other board games, bonfires, exploring the island with nice views, etc. We enjoyed the friendly staff at the BBI Tavern and Ferry. Our next BBI trip, we plan to stay longer. We will bring our water shoes. Paddle boards or kayaks, consider renting ATV’s, possible boating, fishing, etc. Excited already! The only negative was the pesty biting flies

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
