I booked 2 rooms and must say that the price was pretty high. The porch, lawn and view are unmatched on island (expect for Grand Hotel) but the room, food (vouchers) and comfort was pretty sparse. For $240 per night, the room was small and uninsulated. I could hear kids, romantic adults throughout the hallway to room and in the... More

If your coming for the service, don't stay here! When making reservations we requested a room with a lake front view, when we got here we were given a room so small in the corner of the 4th floor that you could honestly just get in the door, and even then you walked around the edge of the bed, which...

This is a great hotel to stay in on Mackinac. We stayed in the annex suite in the back with 6 people and it was perfect. Just a 5 minute walk to downtown and the ferry. Clean hotel and staff was nice. Would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Island House for a bachelorette weekend with the girls. The best part of our stay was the complimentary breakfast and the location! It was very close to the main strip. We got around on bikes that we brought (remember to buy a license for your bike if you bring your own, you can purchase them from... More

My husband and I spent 2011 Labor Day weekend at the Island House and has a great time. What a perfect ending to our summer vacation. We do a lot of traveling and I have to say that Mackinac Island is the most relaxing place if not the best place for a quick trip, we have ever been too. No... More

My husband and I booked a 4th floor room and were very pleasantly surprised to find that we were upgraded to a 3rd floor with a view. Everyone there was very friendly and there was just a "laid" back feeling. We bought a bottle of wine from the bar and sat out on the adirondacks in front of the Hotel... More

I live in northern Michigan and have visited Mackinac Island several times. Sept 2011 was the first time we had stayed at the Island View Hotel. I would rank it as better than the more famous Grand Hotel. First, it is more conveniently located, especially if hills are an issue. Island View is close to parks, waterfront, downtown and carriage... More

Make sure when you make your reservation you add the buffet breakfast. They do have a pool but it is located in the back of the hotel and sorta hidden. They have amazing views and you need a room with a view here, worth the price. You can rent bicycles right by the hotel and the biking is great for... More

LOVED our stay at the Island House. It was a perfect location and the 1852 is a great place for dinner! Must check out :)
