"Definitely do more research prior to making a decision on selecting your next stay."

7.0

The property was conveniently located to downtown. The staff was courteous. The 1852 grill room onsite is amazing!

I felt the price of the rooms were not worthy for what you received. The fan in our bathroom was very noisy like it needed oil. The shower water was definitely ‘hard’ water. The bed’s extremely uncomfortable.

"Island House Hotel - Great Location, Friendly Staff, Wonderful View"

8.0

My husband and I had never been to Michigan and being Texans all our lives, we only knew it would be nice cool temperatures. Let me say, everyone we encountered, from the Mackinac Shuttle to Shipley's Ferry and all around Mackinac Island, were the friendliest people I could meet. We stayed at the Island House Hotel, with its beautiful view of the lake, rockers on the front porch and 5 minutes from everything downtown. We arrived around 9:00 p.m. and were greeted with a warm welcome. Most of the time we had questions or needed something, Jacie, at the front desk, was there to help us. She took great pride in her front desk position because she always had a smile and wanted to do whatever she could to enhance the Island House Hotel experience. On the Island House Hotel website, it encourages you to sign up for the 906 Mackinac Island Rewards Club. We did and it saved us some money. The Shipley's Ferry depot is a 5 minute walk to Island House so since we had carry on luggage, we chose to walk to the hotel instead of getting a taxi (Horse and carriage, you know) We rented bikes from Island House Bikes just in front of the hotel and got directions from the Tourist Center on the best route to take around the island. It is a 8.2 mile leisure ride with places to stop along the way. There are not any steep hills and for us, it was mostly bicycle traffic as opposed to horse and carriage. Enjoy your stay!

"Relaxing family time"

10.0

It's a perfect location and relaxing atmosphere just far enough from town

Nothing to not like. It is expensive compared to other similar properties I have stayed on mainland but that is what you get on the island

"Perfect location for our family vacation"

10.0

We got three rooms. There were five adults and four kids. The family of six was in one of the family suites. That worked out great with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large living area. The location is excellent. The porches and chairs and fire pits outside are a great place to relax and watch the harbor. We were there during a lilac festival. We spent three nights four days on the island. Everything in the hotel was clean, well decorated, and the staff was very friendly.

"A beautiful hotel"

8.0

My first experience on the phone with Island House was wonderful. I had booked the wrong date and they were so helpful and kind. Island House is located about 1/2 mile from the ferry docks a little away from the noise and congestion of Main Street. You can arrange to have your luggage delivered directly to the hotel which is a big plus. Once you get on the island, you’ll need to walk or get a taxi to the hotel and back to the ferry. The hotel is beautiful. We had a lovely view of the harbor. The downside of staying in a historic building is we heard the foot steps and noise from the floor above us. The weather was bad and we don’t walk far. We wanted a bar or somewhere to relax. I didn’t notice one. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The on site restaurant is very nice. All the staff we encountered were exceptional.
