Bonfires, S'Mores and More!
Rooms were clean and spacious. We went on the last weekend of the season and all services were in place. There is a nice included breakfast in an adjacent building and the hosts built multiple bonfires on the beach, with S'mores supplies.
Balcony view of the beach and bridge.

Last night help
The cable tv was not working in our room when we arrived at 9:00 pm. When we called the front desk they sent a staff member to resolve the issue. I was surprised they even had staff on hand to help us.

The Mighty Mac
Room had 2 flies in it. Towels were yellowed. Ice was a walk outside to another building. Shower water pressure fluctuated. Did have a gorgeous view and bed was comfortable.

Check in wasn't very pleasant. You will need shoes to get in the water due to stones. Nice they light bonfires every night at 7pm! Breakfast nothing special. Very clean place.

We had a wonderful time. We didn't receive smore bag as promised but the fire pits and view were amazing. Lots of hotels and this one is the only one with the fire pits on private beach. View of bridge is beautiful. Will come again .

Great family place to stay while on vacay!
We loved our stay here!! From the cozy room, to the extra bed they had in there for my kiddos to the fantastic view of Mackinaw Bridge and the beach bonfire with smores!! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough nice things about this property. One of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed!! Perfect view of the Mackinac Bridge from the room. We stayed in October, and I bet the property is really something else in the summer.

The ground were beautiful with Hydrangea bushes around all the buildings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the view from our balcony. I would choose to stay here again.

Our room was small. There were spider webs and spiders in the window. The room had poor lighting. The bathroom is in need of an update and the shower was challenging to use. The TV remote only worked periodically. The breakfast was good.

There was a small glitch at check in where the desk clerk said we would have to change rooms on our final night's stay due to the fact that we booked an additional night separately. She did however get everything worked out in the end and we did not have to change room. Very well done and good customer follow up.
