It is obvious that Kent and Heather love what they are doing. Where else can you vacation with three dogs and your family. Sweet private sights where you can get unplugged from your weekly grind. I would love to bring my family, human and K9, back again!

I stayed for the weekend and rented the island. I hosted my wedding there on Saturday and it honestly was everything I had ever dreamt of. The island reset crew and owners Kent/Heather are incredible and extremely welcoming, hospitable, and friendly. They went above and beyond to help make it the best weekend ever. I’d absolutely rent a stay on the island again in the future and would highly recommend for anyone else looking for a fun way to create memories with friends and family. 10/10 recommend and appreciate Kent and Heather for all they did to make it such a fantastic weekend for me and my group!

1BSI is such a special place! My husband and I discovered it last summer, ('25) when we stayed in the A-frame cabin. Since then, my husband returned in April '26 and stayed in Oaktagon, and we both came back this week (June '26) and stayed in Nautilus. Each structure is wonderfully different from the other, making you feel as if you are on a different vacation than the previous time. What is the same is the amazing support and spirit of Kent and Heather and their staff, who are always there if and when you need them. When you are on the island, you can turn off the noise and static of urban living (or you can stay online if you want to!), and enter a world where all there is to do is swim, kayak, rest in a hammock, cook on a grill, and count the stars. The vibe is playful but also simple, quiet, and above all, peaceful. It really is an oasis, perfect for those, like me, who enjoy camping but want just a bit more comfort, cleanliness, and support than you have when on your own. Treat yourself and go!
