The staff was absolutely amazing and even was able to upgrade us to a better room. We arrived early and were allowed to check in which was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately there is a ton of construction on the road to get to the hotel but that has nothing to do with the property and they were very accommodating despite it. Overall a great experience and an absolutely wonderful and unique place to stay in Mackinac city.

Great place but needs some updates

Martin at the front desk was amazing. He heloed out with many questions we had and even gave us baggies to clean up after our dog when we ran out. The view from cabin was beutiful. The cabins are older and some things are outdated but the view makes up for it in my opinion. With a few updates these cabins would be one of the best locations to stay in the area.

Nothing fancy but a nice little cabin and was clean. Bed was semi comfortable. Very nice access to beach onsite complete with fire pits. Would stay there again. Check in for day ends at 8:00 pm which seems a bit early.

The cabins were immaculate and the location was perfect. We enjoyed a fire on the beach and the check in was efficient. The gentleman who helped us provided our ferry tickets at a discount and answered all of our questions. Plenty of linens and beds were comfortable. Will definitely return.

Martin is amazing! We felt very welcomed and had an incredible view. He offered to upgrade us to beach front for a very reasonable fee. It was close to town and he gave lots of recommendations. Would definitely come back!

Serious Service!

Our daughter couldn't find her reservation or where it was supposed to be and Martin at Beach House call 15 other locations to make sure she wasn't at any of them. After he verified she wasn't he gave her a great rate so she could next to us for the weekend. Above and Beyond. Thank you Martin.
