About this property

Enjoy your very own Private Island! Seclusion and beauty await at Howard Island

Rent the entire island with two cabins to call your own! Howard Island is a two-acre, family-owned island, located just north of Drummond Island in the Potagannissing Bay, Lake Huron. It is one of the many beautiful islands that dot the bay. Howard Island is heavily wooded with Cedar trees, has puddingstone-dotted rocky shores (bring your watershoes!) and offers 360 degrees of breathtaking views. This kind of quiet, relaxation is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
There is a large dock area with shore power and water for your boat. Rent one easily from nearby Yacht Haven or bring your own to get to and from Howard Island, along with cruising the beautiful bay. Harbor Island National Wildlife Refuge is just a hop-skip away for hiking and swimming! The island is a perfect home base for adventures or to hide from the world for a bit!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

And now we welcome other kindred spirits to enjoy the magic and timeless beauty of Howard Island!
