Jasper Moss is a glamping retreat experience located on the remote Bois Blanc Island, Michigan, where you can unplug, rest, retreat and rejuvenate while surrounded by untouched nature. The venue consists of three yurts, an outdoor shower, sink and toilet, and fully screened outdoor kitchen. It is located across the gravel road from Lake Huron, next to a public nature preserve and a 5-minute walk from one of just two restaurants on the island. The blue and turquoise yurts each have a full-sized bed, a small table and two chairs. The red yurt has two twin beds. There is basic electric access for a bedside light, fan, and charging of electronics as needed. The outdoor kitchen is fully screened in, and offers basic amenities for communal use, such as a refrigerator, grill, gas burner and griddle, toaster oven, coffee maker, and basic utensils, dishes, pots, and pans. Revelers will live comfortably close to the Earth and immersed in the diversity of flora, fauna, and geology. Onsite is a separate art studio where we paint, turn wood, and do lapidary art. Inquire directly to customize your island experience. Kids and families are welcome. Jasper Moss is located on a private property, owned and operated by a BIPOC LGBTQIA family of 6. Important things to note: 1) You must take a ferry to the island, via Plaunt Transportation, which leaves out of Cheboygan, Michigan 2) Your experience is entirely customizable. It can be booked as a single yurt or the entire venue. Tent sites also available. 3) Want an experience beyond just a yurt rental? Contact us via email at jaspermossretreat@gmail.com and we will help you plan for a great time on the island

Amazing Nature Retreat!

With pets ·

Blue Yurt #1

I absolutely loved staying in the Blue yurt! Stayed for 3 nights and had a peaceful exploration of the island by car, walking, and biking. Stayed with my little dog and some family (they were in the turquoise yurt) Jess and Isaac were very easy and kind to communicate with. The yurt, outhouse, kitchen, and shower were all extremely clean. I will definitely be back! Extra loved being close to the Tavern for some Cheboygan beer on tap. Thanks for a perfect reset from life!!

I’d Rather be on Bois Blanc Island!

Blue Yurt #1

Truly one of the best glamping experiences! My husband and I visited Bois Blanc Island for the first time with our two dogs and stayed for two nights. From start to finish, Jess was an incredibly communicative and thoughtful host, making everything easy and welcoming. The yurt was such a unique experience, tranquil, cozy, and the perfect place to unplug and relax. The communal kitchen space is also thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our first night, we fell asleep listening to the sound of waves as our yurt is right by the beach. Mornings were just as special- sipping coffee by the water, watching the island slowly wake up around us. We loved how immersed in nature we felt the entire time. We saw deer wandering through the area and woke up to the charming sound of woodpeckers enthusiastically pecking away on something metal nearby. It was such a memorable experience that perfectly captured the peaceful, off-grid charm of island life. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy escape with beautiful surroundings and a host who truly cares, this is an incredible place to stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Island Yurting

Blue Yurt #1

We love the yurt camping. Very comfortable set up for glamping. It was so quiet and the island is so beautiful. We had a great time with the serenity of the place if you love quiet and simplicity. People in the island are friendly and helpful. There’s water for showering too and kitchen for cooking. Jasper provided super helpful advice which added to the experience.

Turqouise Yurt #2

The yurts at Jasper Moss are lovely to stay in!! The bed was so comfy and everything was clean. The bath house was the nicest vault toilet I’ve experienced and the shower had wonderful water pressure. The host family was so kind and accommodating. They were willing to help us with everything. Being long term residence of the island, they had so much knowledge to share with us.

Serene, cute, and comfy

Blue Yurt #1

Five stars, 10/10! Jess was a great host and has a great property--everything is well thought out and cared for while also blending into the natural environment, which is absolutley gorgeous. The bathroom and shower are brand new, outdoor kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals and coffee in a screened in space. My pup and I had a great time exploring the island and coming back for comfy rest in the yurt--will definitely be back!
