Beachfront cottage right on Lake Huron.

"Steinreich" Cottage is located directly on Lake Huron on the east side of Bois Blanc Island, 5 miles from Cheboygan on the mainland where most visitors embark by scheduled seasonal ferry service or year round air service.
"Steinreich" Cottage offers 12+ guests the ultimate in comfort and peaceful solitude. A wrap around porch and a very open and specious living area with a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, all off the lakefront side of the home are a few of the best features. We can provide comfortable sleeping for up to 15 adults.
A beach side deck is the perfect location to view the crossing ships or for stargazing at night.
There is a Barn fire ring down on the beach (strictly weather permitting).

Go swimming right off the beach in a very remote bay, or at "Snow Beach" Bay just 1 mile from the cottage, or hike, bike, hunt, ski or run on the primarily flat dirt roads and trails. There is "Rusty" in the woods to play with, a row boat and 5 adult and children bikes with 3 adult and two children helmets to explore the island.
A year-round destination. For guests who prefer the winter time - snow mobil and country cross skiing on endless trails is only one of the possibilities. From December-April there is a caterer (fully licensed) and a gourmet service located on the island to order breakfast, lunch and dinner or order groceries by plane.

We provide transportation during the winter months when the boat is not running 😊.

Visitors and residents alike appreciate the remote and quiet lifestyle that the Island offers, with a variety of outdoor and sporting activities to suit every style and taste.
The museum shows you the history of Bois Blanc Island in the Straits of Mackinac.
The year round population of 80 people swells into the thousands as families, sportsmen, athletes, college students, boaters and campers are attracted to the island for it's many seasonal offerings. Daily car and passenger ferryboat service during May to November as well as an air taxi service in commuter prop planes keep folks connected with the mainland communities of Cheboygan, St. Ignace, and Pelleston International Airport.

Or take the kayaks or plane to Makinaw Island. A wonderful day trip.

Bois Blanc Island is a 4 hour drive north from Detroit.

One of TP is all you get
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.

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.

Great stay
We stayed at the house for just a quick weekend trip to the island. We had four couples and there was plenty of space. The large kitchen and dining area is great. The house was very clean and well stocked for a wonderful weekend. Would definitely recommend it.

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.

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.

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!
