The price we paid on Expedia, compared to the room we were given, was very unacceptable. We paid 650$ per night for a corner room on the 4th floor that was tiny and had sloped ceilings. My fiancé and I were constantly bumping our heads on the sloped ceiling. And I’m 5’7 and she is 5’4. When expressed to the front desk all they did was pass blame onto Expedia for charging us too much. Definitely not going back, except to have dinner at 1852.

Beautiful property with all amenities at your fingertips. Great spot to walk to the Main Street and other restaurants on the island. Cute pool and backyard restaurant to lounge and grab a meal. Loved being able to get up and go for a jog early in the morning and come back to enjoy a coffee on the porch!

Beautiful property, luggage was picked up at ferry so we didn’t have to take it to hotel ourselves. The only downside was the amount of stairs we had to ascend to get to the 4th floor with 2 small children since the elevators only go up to the 3rd floor.

Exceeded our expectations in every way!!
We were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary this week and brought our boat over to Mackinac Island for a couple nights. I’ve stayed at The Grand Hotel in the past, but The Island House is my new favorite hotel and I am planning on staying there from now on. The location is perfect (right across from the marina), which made it perfect for checking on the boat, and the view is absolutely incredible!!! We had dinner at both onsite restaurants. 1852 Grille was impeccable, and Ice House Bbq was such a quaint, outdoor atmosphere and the food was great. Everything about Island House from our room to staff friendliness, location and view absolutely exceeded our expectations. I can’t wait to return in the future. Thank you to everyone at The Island House for making our 25th so memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Island House. It is such an enchanting property. The exterior was like taking a step back in time- the grounds beautiful, the rocking chairs on the front porch overlooking the marina could not be beat. Our room was very clean, freshly updated, and a nice size for a historic hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. I can't wait to return!
