A very comfortable rustic cabin near the beach. Very convenient walk to the Mackinac Island ferry and well appointed. The manager could not have been nicer or more helpful at check in.

I love the private cabins, you can feel at home away from home. If you havent been there in a while they have made some convenient upgrades. Coffee makers in the rooms qith coffee provided! We had a full size refrigerator this time! Only thing i didnt love is that they dont do the one big bonfire at night, you have to do your own! Overall. Great stay!

This is an older property that has had some renovations. It was under staffed. Bare light bulbs with pull strings, exposed electrical wires next to sink in bathroom (probably from a previous fixture), the tv was the size of a computer screen, only one of the locks on the door worked, and the chain for the door wasn’t there. However, the location to the beach was great.

Great Trip....Subpar Hotel
The Trip in itself was great! We had an amazing time, not so much with the hotel we stayed at though. For starters the pictures on the reservation wasnt for the same cabin, instead it was closer to the office and main area of the hotel. When we got there we were greeted and shown around, typical hospitality stuff, but i had the reservation for 4 nights...they said it was only for 1, while it was a quick fix...still a nuisance. The room we eventually landed on was clean enough, it looked run down though and the shower wasnt connected to the wall at all. You could pull yhe shower head with your hands. We also didn't know if we were going to go to Mackinac Island or not but i went to the office to see how much of a discount id get on ferry tickets, i wasn't going to purchase them yet, and the office manager went on a bender about doing paper work and was just very rude and made me basically purchase the tickets even though all i was trying to do was ask how much the discount was. I didnt let that stop us from having a good trip.

The cabins date back to the 1930’s but have been well maintained and upgraded. Need a few more AC outlets. Clean, cozy. We had a Staits facing room and it was quite beautiful. Nice sandy beach, and what a view.

We’ve been going to Mackinaw City for years and this was definitely one of the best visits we’ve had because of The Beach House. The location was perfect; not right in the middle of the city, but close enough that you still felt like you were right there. The cabin itself was spacious enough for my family of five and very clean. We were steps from the beach, which was the perfect way to start and end our day. The flowers around the property were stunning. Martin, the property manager, was hands down the most pleasant and helpful person. When we needed something, Martin was extremely accommodating. He was also just a fun guy to talk to. This was a nice change from a hotel. We’ll definitely stay there again next time we visit Mackinaw.

Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a room for our stay, but they upgraded us to a cottage since we were spending the whole week. Very clean and well maintained. They have a private beach with plenty of seating. They even had campfire pits available for a fire on the beach. Only complaint, i widh someone would occasionally wipe of the chairs and swings along the private beach area. Lots of spider webs and bird poop. Had to be very selective when you sat down. Overall, we would definitely return.
