Cottage front de mer sur le lac Huron dans le détroit de Mackinac

My family and I had the most amazing 4 days on BBI: catching frogs, marveling at amazing rocks, waking up for sunsets and just relaxing. Cook Cottage was peaceful and just what I was seeking to escape the stresses of everyday life (at least until the last night, when we had some very loud neighbors move in to Grandpa Bob’s).

We really enjoyed exploring the island, seeing wildlife and the friendliness of the islanders.

We would absolutely love to come back sometime.

Campfires, kayaking, biking, turquoise waters and great family memories

This short vacation of ours was the best yet. From the lovely cottage to unbeatable views and sounds of the lake. Non of us wanted to leave!! I loved the butterflies while husband and the kids couldn’t get enough of the fish in lake Mary!! Will definitely return for more!!

This place is amazing! So peaceful on the water listening to the waves and the breeze in the trees. Our kids loved having the lake just steps from the back door for swimming and skipping stones. Definitely bring water shoes though as the bottom is rocky. The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We can't wait to start planning another trip back!!

What a pleasant, clean, spacious cottage with a breathtaking view of Lake Huron! Well supplied with linens, towels, and board games. Washer and dryer made it easy to pack light. No internet, not the best cell reception, which was a huge plus to us; our teenagers "detoxed" surprisingly well! Hubby and son caught tons of bluegill and bass in Lake Mary and had a great time. My daughter and I had some very precious 1:1 time hiking to the lighthouse. We all took turns cooking and baking. Our oldest bought an inflatable raft, losing an oar on Lake Mary and making her mother have to swim across to get her (you don't get many opportunities to play 'hero' to the kids when they get into those late teen years!). The highlight was the Coast Guard Chapel for nondenominational Sunday services. The building was so lovely, the old boathouse-turned-chapel opens its big doors up for the service to a quiet, serene forest. Rarely have I been in such a holy place! Karen, this was such a special break from our crazy lives, God bless you for sharing your special place. One thing to mention is that Hawk's Landing, the community's store, is currently closed. ALL groceries and needs need to be brought across on the ferry.
