Very nice pool/hot tub room. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Can walk to downtown Mackinac City and Sheplers ferry. We barely drove anywhere while staying here. Right across from Lake Huron. We all loved the beach being so close.

This motel is a great place to stay! Our room was ready and so beautiful. The cleanliness was amazing, and the room was very spacious. It was perfectly stocked with the items we needed for our stay. The view of the bridge is something to enjoy. Restaurants and shops are located nearby and within walking distance. We are planning to visit again and highly recommend it!!

The perfect little stay if you want to explore Mackinaw City or hop on a ferry! Everything about it was convenient and easy. I walked into town each night, and it was a gorgeous stroll. Recommend staying here if you’re laid back and like to explore!

A great family owned old style motel. Nothing fancy but well maintained and clean. Very quite area and across the street from the lake and lighthouse. Sheppler's ferry offers a shuttle from here to the Mackinaw Island ferry! Nice pool and hot tub.

Easy check-in, friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room with table and chairs, large tv,and ample counter space. Mattress was just okay, but we slept well. Bridge view was mostly blocked by trees, room 202.

Lovely Motel
This was a very nice motel; definitely one of the best ones we've stayed at! The pool/hot tub area was fantastic and it was indoors with its own bathroom. There were even sliding doors for the windows to allow a nice breeze in the pool area. The room itself was pretty clean (there was a mysterious wet spot on our bathroom floor, but no big deal) and the front desk lady that checked us in was incredibly friendly and nice. There was also a pretty area to walk around across the street.

Nice room it did have a refrigerator & microwave which was not listed when I booked -wish I would have known . The bed was comfortable. The pool was a bit chilly. The hot tub felt good after returning from biking around the Island. Nice location although because of the trees you can't actually see the light house- a short walk across the street to view and a great view of the bridge. The coffee maker was missing the part you slide the coffee in so unable to make coffee.

Overall good stay
Overall the stay was great. Location is very walkable to many things and just a short drive to others. The rooms are very tiny and dated, but for the price it was to be expected. The pool and hot tub were a bonus when the weather got a bit rainy.
