The Beach House is a family owned and operated resort run with pride and integrity. We are the last stand of cottages on the water in Mackinaw City. We are 1 mile east of downtown. There are sidewalks and a bike trail to get to town.- #15

Grounds are kept up nicely, the guy running the place was friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub were clean and it had a private beach area. The room could have been a little nicer, but they are "cabins". The bed felt like a box spring and not a mattress but we surprisingly slept good!!These comments are from a verified stay6 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|I absolutely adore The Beach House. By far one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed at. We stayed in cottage 31, right next to the road, and never had an issue sleeping. We even napped in the middle of the day when traffic is the most loud, and was never woken up once. These beach houses get a 10/10 in my book! Love this place.These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We particularly enjoyed the location right on the beach, and we loved that there were grills, a fire pit and other amenities available. Also, while the hotel is currently short-staffed, we honestly didn't even notice. The employees were all very friendly and helpful, and we were impressed with the cleanliness of our room, as well as the rest of the property.These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|I was very impressed and had a wonderful experience of this resort. The staff was amazing in every way. My family felt very welcome and was constantly checked in on. The rooms and cabins are kept very clean, and we’re exactly what we were hoping for. I have been to Mackinac city many times and have passed by this I never knew what a great place it was. I am so happy to have stayed there and will definitely do it again. Loved the fact that there was a community atmosphere and the ability to use the lake all of the activities and the pool.I made a great vacation for our family.These comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|Always nice and cleanThese comments are from a verified stay6 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The Beach house cabins were quaint and cozy, And had everything that we needed for our stay. I loved that they were pet friendly so we were able to bring our dog with us on our visit to the island and around town. The only reason I am rating 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of information on the website for the beach house. I had to dig into FAQs on Google to find check-in and check-out times and this wasn't confirmed until we showed up. I also own a very large dog and did not find out that there is a weight limit of 50lbs on dogs until I arrived, though we were still allowed to stay. Additionally, there needs to be a better system for reservations over the winter. Although I booked on February, I was on a wait-list for the cabin I booked without my knowledge until the town opened in May. There was a chance we had to stay at the hotel, which again would have been completely fine, but could be avoided by investing in a more advanced reservation system that would be able to identify this, as it could cause issues with others in the future. Finally, though this is very minor, the brochure and information online states that there are muffins served in the morning for breakfast, but we were advised this ended 2-3 years ago. Again, information just needs to be updated on brochures and websites. Other than this, everything about our stay was wonderful. We had everything we needed and would absolutely book again!These comments are from a verified stay5 people found this helpful.

Great place!These comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We had a great time but our original room was under construction so we had to move next door to the hotel. Our room didn’t have a microwave so we couldn’t enjoy our doggie bag snacks without getting dressed and walking all the way to the lobby. Otherwise, room was clean, ALL staff were courteous, knowledgeable, the room view, excellent.These comments are from a verified stay8 people found this helpful.

New paneling installed throughout the room. Only criticism is the size of the sink in the bathroom...is very small.
