Say goodbye to shopping malls, fast food restaurants, traffic, stress, and urban sprawl. Escape to Bois Blanc Island (Bob Lo), in the Straits of Mackinac, Gateway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Visit Insel Haus, without a doubt one of the most beautiful, captivating, and affordable world-class Island Bed and Breakfast & Retreat Centers North of the equator. No other home is within eyesight of this portion of paradise. Our visitors arrive by ferry, plane or helicopter to discover luxury and comfort inside, wilderness and adventure outside. Insel Haus accommodates up to twenty guests, yet is more than inviting. It will swallow you up and may never let you go. You'll be embraced by the beauty of antique furniture, Persian rugs and cushions, leaded, beveled and stained glass, candelabras, paintings, and Bakers cabinets filled with hand spun Alpaca yarn.
The Living Room with its ten-foot high ceiling features a large fieldstone fireplace of native rock. The chandelier, a sailing ship's helm, reminds you that you are on an Island. Across the room, French doors lead to a sunken veranda. Here, you can enjoy a splendid view of the Straits of Mackinac while lying in bed. Our guests find this a truly unusual observation post. Rise early to greet the dawn or sleep late in one of three superb master bedrooms. Five additional bedrooms offer dramatic views.
The Great Room overlooks the wide deck, meadow and surrounding forest. It features a wall of glass ten feet tall and sixteen feet wide. A corner fireplace of cobalt blue tile with accent pieces thrown by John Glick, a world-renowned potter, creates a warm and cozy atmosphere.
