The rooms aren't anything fancy, but that's why the price is more reasonable. They are clean (thanks Daneika! you did great), comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful, which made for an enjoyable stay.

Birthday Retreat.

I rented this as a birthday gift for my daughter and her bf of 6 years. They had a wonderful experience!! The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean. They want to go back and take me with them because they enjoyed themselves so much.

The place was too primative for us. Especially when we saw thar all hotels in area were really nice, cheaper, and had vacancies. The pictures were much nicer, than actual property. Was disappointed and couldn't get any reimbursement. We left a day early and ate the cost.

Charming beachfront little cabin. Perfect for a fall getaway with kids. Kitchen was clean and very well stocked. Front porch was very cozy with comfortable rocking chairs to watch the ferries and my kids playing in the lake or on the sand. Beds were comfortable and bunk beds perfect for kids. Property manager explained the heating/cooling unit well so we kept it at a comfortable temp for warm days and cool nights. The bunk bed linens were a little discolored when we arrived but the manager immediately replaced with brand new linens when pointed out. There were an over abundance of towels to use which was quite helpful. Definitely would come back!

We had a great holiday weekend at this property. Our cabin was cute and had everything we needed. We were able to have a nice bon fire on the beach and watch fireworks. Martin at the front desk was wonderful and helped us with transportation to the ferry and answered all of the questions we had. We appreciate you Martin! We will be back to stay again!

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 The cabins are older and some things are outdated but the view makes up for it in my opinion.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.
