Fantastic place to stay

Always wanted to stay here and now i have and it is our favorite. Check in was a breeze. Peter was always helpful and kind. Would recommend this place if you wabt to stay in Mackinaw City. It is not part of the "owned" hotels only looking to make a profit.

Great view!

Love this hotel! I’ve stayed here a few times and love the location, view, and friendly staff. I gave 3 stars for comfort because the bed was like sleeping in a hammock (room 105). I don’t recall having that the other times I’ve stayed here.
