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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.
