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.

We loved the location, the Gull island right across from the house. Lots of wildlife to see. The property could use some minor upgrades on pans and towels, but everything has been great otherwise!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
