Bonfires, S'Mores and More!
Rooms were clean and spacious. We went on the last weekend of the season and all services were in place. There is a nice included breakfast in an adjacent building and the hosts built multiple bonfires on the beach, with S'mores supplies.
Balcony view of the beach and bridge.

The rooms & grounds are immaculately clean & well taken care of. It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfires on the beach & it never felt crowded because there are seven to choose from. The hotel crew started the campfires at 7pm every evening & added wood throughout the evening until 10pm. They even passed out s’more kits to every person! It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfire & taking in the beauty of the Mackinac Bridge all lit up & we could also see Mackinac Island in the distance. We had a room with a balcony facing the lake. We didn’t use the pool but if it’s anything like the rooms & grounds I’m sure it is maintained very well. This will be the only place we stay when visiting Mackinaw City!
