Did you find this helpful?|My best friend, Anna, and I took our very first girl’s trip this year, and we chose to stay at The Beach House. What a GREAT decision! Our cottage was beachfront and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The Straits of Mackinac, the Mighty Mac, sunsets, sand under our feet, and a very short distance to restaurants, shopping centers, etc. Oh, and a fireworks show at dusk… again watching from the beach! Martin, the head host, is hilarious and very helpful! We give this place 5 stars and would 100% return!!! Thank you for making our 1st trip extremely memorable! ❤️ 🌉These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|Excellent, everything was nice and clean.nice place to enjoy the nature and the beach.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The room was nicely remodeled, exceptionally clean, and still retained an old cottage feel. The view of Mackinac Island was lovely, and the beach was wonderful fine sand. People were enjoying small fires on the beach at night, and plenty of outdoor furniture provided. We used the very warm pool and hot tub, and walked to town and the ferry on the nicely paved sidewalk. Shuttle service to the ferries was also provided, and ran frequently. The innkeeper was very professional, and helpful. Personally we prefer to stay at a vintage resort, so if you’re looking for bling, you’re booking wrong place. Dog friendly places are very hard to find! We would definitely recommend it for people looking for a quaint convenient place to stay, and are looking forward to returning again.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Great location. Loved the view, yard swing, and fire pit. The staff was informative and helpful. A pleasant stay.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Great hotel in a great location. The water views and great lawn were awesome. We enjoyed sitting on the lawn and taking in the scenery, sights and sounds. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed dining in at your hotel restaurant. It offered us outstanding service and a menu with a lot of variety and selections. The only area of improvement we saw was at check-in. Less than five people waiting to check in, and it took 20 - 25 minutes to get our room. Other than this delay, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful.

The Beach HouseThe Beach House Denise from White Bear Lake stayed in September 2021The cabins we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. Wish it had a stove.

Staff was very friendly and gave some great local historyThese comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Great location. Nice accommodations. Easy check in. No complaints.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|I loved being right on the beach without having to portage my house to pay for it. I also loved the heated pool. The only problems were that the drain closure in the tub didn't stay open to allow the water to drain quickly and it would be nice if there were more accessible outlets for recharging electronics. But, those were minor problems. I loved it.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Great Rates, Great Rooms, Great View.These comments are from a verified stay1 person found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|We have been coming here for years and love the atmosphere. The cabins have been updated recently. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Clean, beautiful view and bonfires on the beach every night. Shuttles available to town, just call the manager and he will arrange it for you! Manager is very helpful. My only suggestion, add a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries.These comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|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?|Nice place, Martin a great manager, scenic and DOG Friendly!These comments are from a verified stay7 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.
