About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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.

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!

Wow, what a picture perfect mini getaway! This place is just what you are looking for to relax and unwind. The unit is well stocked for any amount of time you spend on Bois Blanc Island- you cannot ask for better views to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glsss of wine.

We loved our stay!!! If you like quiet, few people who all are super friendly, deserted beaches, beautiful sunsets and a very nice cottage this is the place for you!! Great ice cream at the diner. You need to bring everything you need for your stay food and drink wise. The cottage has well stocked kitchen and all towels and linens. I really can’t say enough good things about this place and this island!

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!

A Wonderful Experience
Bois Blanc is a beautiful, restful island. However, there are no stores or businesses apart from a small cafe which is within walking distance of the cabin. Our cabin was so comfortable--the beds were nice, the cabin was clean, and the property has a beautiful view. The cottage was stocked with everything you need for cooking, including spices! Although we tried to make sure we brought enough food for our stay, the cabin had everything we needed to keep ourselves fed and happy: pots, pans, coffee supplies (including coffee), dishes, glasses, cups, etc. It's all there. The furniture is comfortable, and there were towels and even a spare toothbrush in the bathroom. We've stayed in many cabins over the years, including on Mackinac Island, and this one was hands down Number One! We can't say enough about how welcomed we were by our host. Totally worth it. Deer come on the front lawn to meander, and Lake Huron is right there in front of the house! The pictures posted for this property don't do it justice. We had a family of 6 staying there, and we were fine. The cabin has been updated with new appliances and what looked like a new floor. Stylish. The property owners seemed to remember things guests might forget, and they were there. Lots of spare pillows and extra blankets for sleeping. There is a farmer's market on Saturday mornings--don't miss it! We are grateful to our host for our accommodations. If you like a restful place to explore, do a little walking, see wildlife, and have time to eat and read, this is your spot! We brought an air fryer, but there is a stove, oven, microwave, toaster, and two coffee-makers (a drip and a Keureg--with pods supplied). We found it all so comfortable. We had a very memorable stay and a wonderful vacation.

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.

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.

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!
