Eulenhaus or Owlhouse - Labor Day special!!
“Eulenhaus” or “Owl house”
Saturday 8/30 - 2pm boat fromCheboygan - Tuesday 9/2 - 11 am boat return Including boat tickets for 1 truck + 2 adults and cleaning fee. Boat reservations are confirmed. Extra adult tickets for a special price available!! Just $999 for up to 10 adults.
A quiet retreat without the noises of humans. Off the main road in the middle of gorgeous cedars just 200 yards off the beach of Lake Huron - just walk straight down to the beach.
Waves rolling onto the beach, the eagles are soaring and the dear are crossing right in front of the house. This year we have a set of twins from our dear deer. The Grouse showed me six chicks a couple of days ago. Sorry, no hunting on the property.
An outside fire pit and a rap around porch are ideal to hang out. Outside dining on a table that seats 10 under the front porch roof.
The heart of the home is the kitchen. The humongous island seats a lot of people. Best place for playing cards, rolling the dice or mixing up a pitcher of whatever drink you like.
A gorgeous propan stainless steel gas grill with 4 burners for the “chef” assists with cocking and extends the kitchen to the outside.
In front of the House is a fire pit for wood or charcoal fires. More possibilities to cuddle up and enjoy s’mores. A grate on top - and you bring the steaks!
The house has all amenities. A fully stocked kitchen and an spacious bathroom including HE-washer and dryer.
There is a smart TV and internet provided by Starlink. 2 gigabytes per day are free. If you want more- no problem. We charge $1.50 for the gigabyte.
4 fishing poles are available for your convenience. You have to get your fishing or hunting license yourself!
„Eulenhaus“ Cottage is located 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. If you’re planing to bring a car, pleasebook the ferrying advance.
"Eulenhaus" Cottage offers 10 guests the ultimate in comfort and peaceful solitude. A big side porch and an open and spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen, all off the covered front porch are a few of the best features.
Go swimming right off the beach in a very remote bay at "Snow Beach" Bay just 1.5 miles from the cottage, or hike, bike, hunt, ski or run on the primarily flat dirt roads and trails. Winter is adventure season. Cross the ice bridge with your snowmobile!!
A year-round destination. For guests who prefer the winter time - snow mobil and country cross skiing on endless trails are only some of the possibilities. From December-April Are several services to provide meals or to order from the mainland stores. 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 55 people swells into the thousands as families, sportsmen, athletes, college students, boaters and campers are attracted to the island for its many seasonal offerings. And all of them „disappear“ into the woods.
Daily car and passenger ferryboat service, Plaunt Transportation in Cheboygan, during May to November as well as an air taxi service in commuter prop planes, Northwoods Aviation or Fresh Air Aviation, keep folks connected with the mainland communities of Cheboygan, St. Ignace, and Pelleston International Airport. Or take kayaks or a plane to Makinaw Island. It’s just a short distance stopping at Round Island and visiting the private island.
Bois Blanc Island is a 4 hour drive north from Detroit and a 45 min. boat ride from Cheboygan.
Just nature!!! The ideal spot for all hunters, anglers, hikers, bikers, naturists and water sports. Or just get away from all and enjoy the serene atmosphere. We offer weekens without internet access!
