Island Getaway

The views are spectacular! Our family enjoyed the extremes, from literally just sitting and freighter watching to kayaking in Lake Huron. Fireworks and sunsets were picture worthy, the screened in fire pit was a great place to end the day. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves making memories!!

Great time

Our family had a perfect week. Everything in the house is excellent quality construction, very impressive to accomplish on a island with limited resources. The property is very large, impressive, peaceful, beautiful, among other flattering adjectives. The views from the house are honestly one of a kind. We had 8 adults and 5 kids for the week and we were very comfortable. Definitely recommend.

A slice of heaven on earth!

Wow! What an amazing week in one of the neatest, most beautiful places on the planet! The home is stunning, and can accommodate a large group. Having Lake Huron as the backyard provides peace and serenity. The lighthouse feature is one of a kind! Wendy is amazing to work with, and property manager Michelle is so helpful! Bonum Est has become our favorite place for family vacation. We will be back!!

Can’t beat the views!

We had a great time here. The beach area is very rocky, like no sand, so definitely bring water shoes! Outside of that the place and the sunsets with the Mackinaw Bridge in the background were stunning. They provided everything you would expect and beach toys too. We made good use of the new screened in fire pit too. Very relaxing and beautiful place just be prepared for a 25 minute drive to get more ice for coolers and a few critters around - some of our kids loved that part though.

Awesome Beautiful Quiet Location

This was an awesome, beautiful, quiet location. That is, until our family of 15 arrived. Then the swimming, canoeing, fishing, biking, running, walking, campfires started. There were all age ranges from 7-70 and we all kept actively engaged. The beauty of the area was awe inspiring. And the house….very comfortable and appropriate for the area. The lighthouse was a great vantage point. The bedrooms (6) and bathrooms were very nicely appointed. It was a family vacation that we will remember forever.

Boblo Island house

The house was beautiful and the views spectacular. We had a wonderful family reunion, but this house only sleeps 12. When we booked it advertised two sleeper sofas. There are no sleeper sofas. There are 4 nice recliner chairs but they do not extend flat and cannot be used for young people sleeping since they are in the family room. Also there are no wine glasses nor a wine bottle opener. But we had a great time.

Luxury in the wilderness

This place is absolute perfection. The view is breathtaking. A complete panoramic, uninterrupted, 180 degree view of Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge - all to ourselves. The sunsets were spectacular. After dark, all you can see is the moonlight on the water and the twinkling lights of the bridge in perfect profile from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace. We fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing and what must have been one million very happy frogs. The home is brilliantly designed and constructed with remarkable craftmanship. This house was built with passion, and you can feel it in the details. Everyone we met on the island was friendly and welcoming. We took our quad and our boat. There is much to be explored and the fishing was excellent! Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful location

Home and location are as advertised. The island location and remote location of the home ensure a quiet and isolated experience. The views are tremendous. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate fully during our stay. However, the house was large enough for each member of our group of eleven to find a space of their own if desired. We were very impressed with the kitchen’s quality and the comprehensive stock of utensils and supplies. The beach is rocky but there are ample alternatives that are sandy spread around the island. At the north end of Bible Road you’ll find just a beach and a great view of Mackinac Island. Just make sure you bring everything you need as supplemental trips to restock, either on the island or back on the mainland, are quite expensive. Overall, a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city life and a great getaway.

Paradise

Lovely home and property. Fireplace and all modern accoutrements. Very clean and comfortable. Three full baths on first floor and two on the second floor. Magnificent views out all windows. Great drinking water. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The home sits on the west end of Bois Blanc island. The home includes an impressive lighthouse tower which is accessible by an interior spiral staircase. A recent addition is a screened in gazebo with a firepit and lovely view of Lake Huron and the Mackinaw Bridge which is spectacular after dark. The entire property has a beach front and is a paradise. (However, bring your Deep Woods Off to combat the bugs). There is shallow waters off the beachfront for swimming. Michelle, the property manage, was wonderfully helpful and pleasant. Kayaks, bikes, paddle boards can all be rented and delivered to the property by her. She was very accommodating. This spot is a dream come true for family vacationing. It can accommodate up to sixteen. I recommend it for an unforgettable very special family get together. You won’t regret it.

The property manager was great and very helpful during our stay. The inside of the home is more beautiful than the pictures portray. Everything in the home is well thought out with much detail.

A relaxing and beautiful getaway!

My family and I (a group of 23) stayed comfortably here for a week. The experience of getting to the home was a lot of fun starting with the ferry ride and ending with the short winding car ride to the home itself. Once we got to the home we were greeted by Michelle, the property manager, who gave us a tour of the home and helpfully answered any questions we had. Also, Wendy, one of the property owners, was extremely helpful in answering all our questions in incredible detail before the trip began. The view from the home of the bridge and neighboring Round Island were simply amazing. I am trying to think of there is a better view of the bridge that can be had at any other location — the pictures don’t do it justice. Some in my group as well as myself had said we could have probably sat in the “wine barrel” chair that was nestled under a tree next to the water for the entire week. The cool breeze on shore was a great relief when the sun got hot. Watching the kids play in the water and waves from that perch was a pleasure, especially since young kids could go out quite a long way without the water getting too deep. Just make sure to bring water shoes. There were a couple days where the flies were biting but they weren’t out all the time. Bring bug spray. The home itself is large and furnished appropriately to comfortably accommodate our large group. The “lighthouse” is a fun addition that provides a 360 degree view of the area. Care should be taken when going up and down the ladder to the top floor. The owners advise that children not go up there without adult supervision. This is good advice. Outside the property, we biked as well as explored the island in the side by side we trailered on the ferry. There were lots of trails, though sometimes the labeling on the trails/roads were a little confusing and didn’t quite match up with what we were seeing on the map. This made it harder to distinguish what was private property and what was not. We went fishing at the large dock at lake Thompson. It would have been nice to have a boat since most of what was caught were very small panfish or perch. The kids loved it, but I imagine an uninhabited lake like that would have some larger fish beyond the dock. There was also plenty of room for campfires and yard games which we took advantage of. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would highly consider coming back next year if the place is available.

Incredible Experience

Our family had an incredible week at Bonum Est. We had a group of fourteen, ranging in age from 7 to 70 and everyone had space to spread out, it never felt crowded. The views from the home are absolutely beautiful and the remoteness allows you to truly unplug and relax. The inside of the home is beautiful and equipped with everything you might need on a remote island. The kitchen was nicely stocked, there were beach towels for those that may have forgotten and plenty of games and puzzles for a rainy day. The lighthouse is such a unique feature and provided great views, especially at night for viewing the stars. Outside provides uninterrupted views of Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge. There is a large area to play yard games, trees to hang your hammocks, and plenty of rocks for skipping (bring your water shoes!). Days were spent swimming, exploring the shores and kayaking (we rented through Boblo Style and had a great experience). One of our best memories was enjoying an evening swim while watching the fireworks from Mackinaw City. There are quite a few water snakes, but we found them to be harmless and more curious than anything. The owners were wonderful and quick to respond with our questions leading up to the trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us and we absolutely hope to return!
