Beautiful setting. Very large and spacious bedrooms. With all the windows plenty of wonderful natural light. The porches with all the seating was wonderful! Nice clean accommodation. Our only complaints were it was hard for me to get to the beach with my wheeled walker and we didn’t have much of a view of the lake, or seating there. Our host did explain the ice storm early in the year damaged the furniture and gazebo on the beach. Mrs. Ben was wonderful, very pleasant and friendly, she made us feel right at home.

This is a wonderful property on Bois Blanc Island. There was plenty of space for 5 adults. The wrap around porch and walk to the beach was a highlight. The kitchen is well equipped. We had a minor issue on arrival and Ms. Ben was accommodating. This is a remote island. I would highly recommend bringing extra toilet paper, paper towels etc as it is difficult to obtain.

We enjoyed our stay on Bois Blanc Island! The house was well-equipped for our group of four adults, 3 teens, 2 small children, and a dog. The property is beautiful and the beach has wonderful views. You are in nature, so remember that things like bugs are inevitable. Overall our stay was quite pleasant! Perhaps my only minor faults were that the porch area was so spidery that we really couldn’t use it, and all of the amenities in the listing weren’t as easily available as implied. I’m not afraid of bugs or spiders, but the entire porch was so covered in webs and spiders that we chose to sit on chairs in the grass instead. I don’t mind a little cleaning, but it was more than I wanted to do while on vacation. Additionally, things like fire wood were not readily available and we had to forage for it or buy it. I believe the things like bikes and boats were locked up in the barn - understandable - but it was just an extra step to reach out and ask for things that we expected to be more accessible. To be fair, that’s more of an “us” issue, but we also didn’t want to bother our hosts. One thing to note - the beach area is beautiful, but even with other reviews I really underestimated how rocky it is. This is not the kind of beach you lay out on. You can explore and rock hunt, but it’s not a sandy relaxed kind of beach vibe.

Lovely place to stay on BBI

Nice, roomy house with great host. Large kitchen/living area made it very comfortable for our group of 9 (ages 17-60). We enjoyed cooking together in large kitchen w/ island + large table and dishwasher. Lots of sleeping room & 2 full baths were great. The gazebo & beach fire pit are wonderful. Miss Ben is very accommodating. Thank you for wonderful place to stay on hidden gem of island. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of BBI in a great house.

The power was out the day we arrived so the host let us know we would have to make the beds and finish the laundry. Unfortunately she did not have time to fully clean which we were not aware of. The toilets, showers, floor, and fridge were dirty. There were coffee stains still on the hard floor. The whole house needed a good deep cleaning. We were disappointed there was no Gazebo as shown in the pictures. We were really looking forward to the screened in gazebo especially with the biting flies this time of year. When we contacted the host about our concerns she told us that it was out of her control and she would not apologize or remedy the situation. She claimed the toilets and showers looked like that due to iron in the water but I was able to easily clean the toilets and they stayed clean the remainder of our stay. I have included before and after pictures of the main floor toilet. The trees have grown ups so much that the view of the lake is very limited and not like the pictures in the listing. The beach is beautiful and we enjoyed having a short walk to the beach. The house is also very secluded. Even though we spent a lot of the week cleaning the house we still had a very nice vacation and time with family.

Excellent views

This home is such a nice place to stay at to get away from it all. Just a few steps out the door to the beach with amazing sunrises. Kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were soft and comfy and we had extra linens and blankets if needed. There are plenty of towels available too. There only is enough hot water for a quick shower but it heats back up in about an hour for another person to shower, that’s the only draw back. There is kayaks and bikes to use. The island is just so lovely. The homeowner was there to meet us when we arrived and to show us around. Miss Ben was so nice and has such a wonderful home to share.

Hi Holly, we are apologizing for the inconvenience of the “lukewarm” water. We just figured out that a valves for the upstairs bathroom wasn’t really open. We are so sorry. Please come back and enjoy the new hot water heater. I hope you made it home safe and planning to come back and stay with us. Sincerely MissBen

Necessities not provided. No toilet paper, no paper towel, no trash bags other than one curtesy bag. Toilet paper unfortunately is not sold on the island so this was a problem for our group if 10.

Dear Christina, It says in our house rules that guests are responsible for all their necessities. Paper towels in specific aren’t good for our septic system, so we provide plenty of micro fiber cleaning rags to distribute to a safe natural environment. We are living on an island, getting supplies over is very costly and expensive. We try to be prepared and help our guests out as best as we can, but sometimes we are having issues to get supplies in a timely manner. The store is selling 🧻 but was closed/out of it. Trash bags are available at the Transfer Station. That’s where the trash can be dropped off. If our guests need any assistance/additional supplies, please ask. We are always open to help and find the best solution possible. Sincerely MissBen

Friends weekend 2021

The property was reviewed at 3-stars due to issues with the property manager. She met us at the property when we arrived and asked repeatedly how many guests were in our group. We responded with 12 guests and an infant ( < 2 yrs old), however, we were mistaken and should have reported 13 guests on the listing as the baby counts toward our total head count. This was a simple misunderstanding and could have easily been addressed the moment we entered the property. Unfortunately, the property manager did not address this at that time and instead began texting us the next day asking for details that were not required on the listing, such as a copy of our driver's license and names of all in the party. She continued to text over the period of the weekend and accused us of being "dishonest" with our count and wanted to charge us for 16 people based on the ferry records. At this point, we offered for her to come over and take a head count of the people at the property and asked her to quit harassing us during our vacation. She did not come over and updated my listing to 13 people without further comment.

Disappointed

Lake area is all rocky no beach. Wear water shoes for sure. Weather was humid and 1 window fan 1 box fan older and 1 9 inch fan did not even begin to cool the upstairs. Went to walmart bought 4 box fans to get it to cool down. Dish ware was terrible. Bring your own pots and pans.not 1good sharp knife most of glasses from a garage sale. They need to through out all dishes and buy new for 16 ppl. Place was not ready for us at 400 oclock. We swept and made beds. Wasn't worth the price at all. Need 4 window units and it would be nice ad cool. Alot of the porch needed a brushing. Spiders and cobwebs all over. Left some items was contacted and said they would mail them to me. Will see. Loft needs to be made into separate bedrooms. Beds were hard. Sheets and blankets were just subpar. Rented a house that slept 12 comfortably ac nice ready for us for half what I paid for this rental. Vrbo did not impress me with this rental at all. madebeds.chargtheycharawindounitsfllown

Perfect and peaceful

The pictures online don’t do the property justice. The view of the lake and access was amazing!! Such a relaxing trip. The kids (10 & 11) had a wonderful time playing in the water or enjoying all the fun things stocked in the house. There was never a dull moment. Miss Ben answered all our questions before, during and after our trip. We all can’t wait to go back!!

Property was ok. No hot water. Kept getting excuses. Living room sofa was nasty; dirty and smelled. Ad said two 2-person kayaks. They were unusable; partially deflated. Non-performance towels, cooking oil which are usually standard. Bars of soap were previously used and dirty. Would not rent again.

Wasn't quite what I expected

Arriving at the property was a different experience, taking the ferry to the island. When we arrived we were greeted by Miss Ben's husband. She was feeling slightly under the weather and was not able to meet us at the home. If you love nature it was wonderful I'd never experienced biting flies until I arrived on the island. The next day the power and the water went out on the East Side of the island. Where we were staying. It was due to a storm, but the storm happened the night before. Miss Ben and her husband made sure we had clean water and even coffee the next morning. The beach area was absolutely beautiful. There were a few downsides to the property like the bugs in the inside. My daughter was attacked by a spider. I think they could have done more work with containing the gnats that were inside the property. I don't think a lot of cleaning was done before we arrived and to my understanding there were guests who left the day we arrived. So we walked in on their filth and that was not pleasant at all. The sheets were not clean but had been flipped. Miss Ben, when made aware of the situation, did come over, take the sheets, clean them, and bring us back clean linen. I just feel for the price we paid it would have been more up to par. There's so much more I can say about this but I've waited so long to post a review many things have been blocked out. The property was not horrible but it could have been a lot better.

Nature lover getaway

We loved how peaceful and quiet this property was. The only sounds you hear are the waves on the shore and the wind in the trees. We saw lots of wildlife too! Having a property on a remote island obviously has some challenges (there aren’t hardware, plumbing supply or Walmart’s on the island!) and the owner worked through some very minor issues with a combination of ingenuity and charm and made it all work for our 3 generation family vacation. We had everything we needed for a very lovely stay. Our only suggestion would be to swap the 2 twin beds on the main floor bedroom with one of the queen beds in the loft bedroom. While the twin beds were very comfy, it would be a tad nicer to have the main floor master with a queen bed!
