A lovely hotel with helpful staff and nice amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub and indoor pool upon arrival. We were early for our reservation but the staff was accommodating and let us use the facilities until our room was ready. We were checked in 3 hours early which was wonderful after a long morning of traveling. The staff continued to be of assistance throughout our stay. Every request was met with a smile and immediate action. The convenient location and beautiful views are well worth it. Sitting on the front porch was a highlight every morning and evening. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and look forward to making our stay at The Island House a summer tradition!

We needed a quick weekend trip to visit the island and we stayed at the Island House Hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and professional they kept our devices while we explored the island before our check-in time. The ferry took our bags straight to the hotel so we didn't have to take them with us and after we checked in they brought them up to our room. The hotel was very clean and the body wash smelled so good that we are purchasing it for our home. The rooms are small but I can see why. Breakfast was not free but the service was great, Next time we will just have breakfast off the property. We loved it and would stay here again, it's in a perfect location. Not in the middle of Main Street chaos but close enough that you can sit and watch.

A magical Mackinac Island experience!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Island House! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. The historic charm of the hotel is beautifully maintained + you feel like you’re stepping into a storybook. Our room was clean, cozy, and had that perfect blend of old-world character and modern comfort. We especially loved sitting on the front porch with a coffee in hand, watching the bikes go by and soaking in the island breeze. The location is perfect & tucked just enough away from the crowds, but still a super short walk to everything downtown. Customer service was kind and responsive. We appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Only note: the hot tub was a little cooler than expected, but we still appreciated having it as an option after a long bike ride. As a lifestyle and wellness content creator, I’d absolutely love to work with Island House in the future and the ambiance and charm are exactly what I love sharing with my community. Thank you for the lovely experience we’ll definitely be back!
