The owner was always willing to help us, the view was amazing and it was close to town. We will be back at to Mackinaw!These comments are from a verified stay18 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Our stay was great, Mark was friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, location was perfect-close to the downtown area but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We loved the beach.These comments are from a verified stay11 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Martin was accommodating to our needs . Since he had a cabin not rented out , he gave us to an upgrade for free. The place was clean . Everyone who was at the Beach House during our stay was very friendly. I’d definitely book again .These comments are from a verified stay8 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Positives: Office staff were helpful and efficient. Cottage was old but clean and serviceable. The beach area was beautiful and only a few steps away. Quiet, except for road noise. Negatives: Coffee pot was broken (lid for water tank missing and lid for pot was not the right fit). Blankets and bed spread were really old, clean - but really, really old. Parking is a tight fit if you have a large truck or SUV. We would stay here again.These comments are from a verified stay11 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We very much enjoyed our stay at the beach house. The manager was very accommodating and helpful. He suggested a fire at the lake and we had one.

Great service! What a view!These comments are from a verified stay12 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The beach house feels like old times, but it’s clean and redone nicely. The “family cabin” cabin 2 is excellent for a family or maybe two or three couples to stay. Bathroom is remodeled and the whole place was very clean. Martin at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. For being in a pandemic, it worked out that we were isolated from other people fairly well. Having individual cabins is so nice for privacy.These comments are from a verified stay6 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|This was a quaint, old-fashioned cottage stay. Everything was clean and comfortable, and Martin is a superb host.These comments are from a verified stay13 people found this helpful.

Even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic the staff was amazing! We will be back!!These comments are from a verified stay17 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We stayed in a lakefront cabin with our two dogs. The cabin was cozy and much closer to the water than we expected! Our kids loved stepping out right on to the beach.

Did you find this helpful?|Martin at the front desk was great! Upgraded us for free! Loved the location. Cabins were clean. Beach was awesome! We loved our stay.These comments are from a verified stay16 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|These cabins have been fully remodeled between 2019-2020 and have all new paneling, beds, and bathrooms as well as a good sized counter for the kitchen sink. There is also a mini-fridge and microwave, and an ice maker is available for room ice. There is also a hot plate, but bring your own pan! Martin was a fabulous host / property manager, and he will tell you all you need to know. The six beachfront cabins provide a beautiful view of Lake Huron, and the other ten cabins all offer access to the beach. The beach is friendly to leashed dogs too! Cabins are dog friendly, but you must not let your dog on the bedding and need to brush sand off before entering as cabins are carpeted in the main area and sleeping areas. A broom is provided, which came in handy for our feet, but I would recommend a plastic dish pan with water to help assist cleaning dogs' feet. I recommend taking several extra towels for the beach (for both you and the dogs) and take a comforter from home for each bed if your dogs will insist on getting on the beds. If we return next year, we will take a bigger coffeemaker, a bed pad or topper (beds are extra hard), and either a bag of charcoal and fluid for the provided grills OR single-use grills that we found on Amazon. We enjoyed being able to take all of our own food, but there is a wide and well-off-the-road sidewalk that will take you straight into the town for a variety of dining and shopping experiences. Dog-Friendly, outdoor dining was available at the Bridgeview Diner, and there were 10-12 other carry-out places nearby. We walked to the ferry landing (ferry tickets are conveniently available at the office of the cabins), and dogs rode free on the 18-minute ride to Mackinac Island. We also drove the bridge to St. Ignace ($4 each way in 2020). There is a nice, dog-friendly pizza place in St. Ignace called BC's Pizza that serves adult beverages, fabulous salads, and wonderful gourmet pizza. We also checked out Straits State Park for a short hike. I LOVE this location, and next year we would love to return, but to be honest, the remodel raised the prices for 2021 to nearly double (400 is a little steep for beachfront). It was a beautiful place to stay though!These comments are from a verified stay15 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|It was very good. Would recommend to others.These comments are from a verified stay13 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Just the experience I was looking for. Not fancy but clean tiny cabins on the water. Super helpful desk manager who goes above and beyond. We had a little hiccup in the beginning and it was straightened out quickly, we were very happy there. Easy walk to town, nice pool, loved the kitchenette. Book early for best rates!These comments are from a verified stay8 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Decent hotel, hard to rate since it’s covid time, but it’s a great location right on the beach.These comments are from a verified stay12 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Excellent location, friendly staff and a beautiful cabin. We had a great time and are excited to return!These comments are from a verified stay13 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Great little place to get away! It was nice having more privacy versus staying at a traditional hotel. Beach bonfires were the highlight of our trip. Met people from all over the country at the bonfires. Our dogs had a good time and we’re comfortable throughout our stay. The bathroom in our cottage was very small and the beds were uncomfortable, but would come back in a heartbeat!These comments are from a verified stay9 people found this helpful.

My family and I go up almost every year and always stay there.These comments are from a verified stay13 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The overall stay was fine. The windows were unsafe they were so old you could hurt yourself opening and closing them. The beach was not cleaned at all for the season in terms of debris from nature and things washing ashore. Other than that it was a nice little beach house W a great view. There were major upgrades inside the cabins so they were like new. I just wished that the other two things were addressed and it would have been outstanding!These comments are from a verified stay5 people found this helpful.

We will definitely come again.These comments are from a verified stay12 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Everything was absolutely perfect. This is my second time staying here, the last time was several years ago, when I was very young. As an adult I’ve moved away from Michigan and had wanted to share the Ares around where I grew up with people in my life now. The Beach House has changed and been updated since then, but even with COVID still looming it was an absolutely amazing escape back to the best memories of my childhood. This place offers the unique, friendly and personable atmosphere of a small lakeside cabin with the added bonus of being so close (within walking distance) to all of the best that Mackinaw City has to offer - including a gorgeous view of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. It’s a perfect balance of being “right down the street” and “away from it all” at the same time, plus amazing owners and staff - literally the best things anyone could want in a vacation location!These comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful.
