Dear Christa,

It has been an honor and a pleasure to be the first group of spinners and knitters to visit this wonderful island retreat. I look forward to many more retreats at Insel Haus. Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise with us.

Dear Shelby and Christa,

I wanted to take a few minutes to put on paper how much I appreciate your hosting our Chamber Round Table group. Your Bed and Breakfast Inn is beautifully restored and the setting overlooking Lake Huron is spectacular. All of our members commented on the nice feeling you get from that setting and it definitely contributed to the success of our "Team Building" seminar.

You were also a very congenial host and had all of the facilities that our stay required. I particularly like the helicopter landing sites at your place as you can land and take off over open areas down the beach.

Shelby and Christa,

There are not enough superlatives to describe our wonderful time at Insel Haus. We came to rest and rest we did. The warmth of our hosts and the beauty of our surroundings gave us a few days of paradise. We are so gratefull to have experienced this fabulous island resort.

Dear Shelby and Christa,

In words you described a place that could not possibly exist. A place to call home on an island forgotten by time. We came, we experienced, we know . . . it is here. Thank you for sharing with us. Insel Haus is more than inviting. It will swallow you up and may never let you go. Like all who visit for the first time, we will be back.

You have a true Up-North treasure, hosted by a gem of a couple. Bois Blanc is a wonderful secluded location in the perfect spot and you created a home to take full advantage of the surroundings. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it. A great memory forever.

Shelby and Christa,

Thank you for the tour of your lovely home last Saturday. You have used your talents exceptionally well to create a beautiful, relaxing, and unique environment - and the carefully planned views from each room are wonderful. We feel fortunate that you have opened up your home to all of us as a bed & breakfast. What a special addition to our island.

Very truly yours,

Joan Watts Bruce


Hi Christa -

What a beautiful website!  The images are serene, gentle and irresistibly inviting.  It makes one want to experience all 4 seasons at Insel Haus.  Your Web Master has done a spectacular job putting it all together in a user-friendly website.  And your photographer has captured the nuances of all the moods one experiences while on the island.  The rooms and furnishings are a perfect blend of comfort and unusual elegance in the north woods. Everything looks warm and inviting.  And the views beyond the thresholds are the perfect compliment to what you've created indoors.  
If I'm not at the edit in the morning its because I've headed to Insel Haus, and I may never be heard from again.....
