Perfect location with everything you could need on property! Bike rentals right in front of the hotel and restaurant/bar options! The front porch and yard had perfect areas to relax, hang out, and just take in all the island’s beauty! Would stay here again when coming back to the island!

10/10 Exceptional

Love the hotel however it is in serious need of upgrading to be in line with the price per night. Bathrooms are not accommodating and the set up just needs serious updating/ remodeling. 1852 restaurant is wonderful with great food and service.
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My first time on Mackinac Island and the staff here were so helpful and efficient. The 4th floor room in the dormered part of the building was big enough for one person. I appreciated that there was still a small table and chairs in the room. I misplaced my credit card in the hotel restaurant, and both the front desk staff and the restaurant staff were very helpful in assisting me with locating it. The hotel was beautiful. Right off the downtown shopping area.

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!
Gracie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is very nice and tastefully decorated. I give it 4 stars. It's a bit pricey for the quality level, but it's Mackinac so somewhat expected. We reserved a 2 BR suite as we were traveling with my adult daughter, and the room lay out was strange. 2 baths, but weird lay out. It was an obvious conversion from a space that had other purposes. Just not what I'd expect at the price level charged. Overall the hotel was clean and the staff friendly, barring the restaurant manager who was somewhat gruff.
