If you are looking for a place to stay in Mackinaw City for a reasonable price, this is a fantastic option. The rooms were clean, the staff was great. We reserved online and made a special request. They accommodated our request and communicated that they would be able to do so within an hour of making the reservation. The location is excellent also.

An older property in great condition. Offers views of the straights, lighthouse and bridge. Hot tub was great but the pool was too cold to use. Good value for the price considering it's Mackinac in season. I would stay again and definatly recommend.

I liked that it was near the bridge and lighthouse. Heater worked great! Room was spacious and beds were comfy. Room did not look really clean but it was ok. It was clean enough. People that stayed next to us were really loud and made a lot of noise. Especially at night. Overall, ok.
