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

We liked the little retro cottages and my sister and I were quite happy with our two bed courtside. Access to the beach was as promised. Enjoyed the hot muffins in the office each morning. Had hoped to do more cooking in the kitchenette but there were no pans or dishes provided and we hadn't brought anything with us. Would suggest that they add a coffee maker and a toaster to each room and put in their description that you need to bring your own pots & pans, etc if you want to cook on the two-burner provided. We were glad that the heat worked in Cabin #5 as it got down into the 40's each night! We will stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay

Our cottage was right on the beach, beautiful views. Only wished there was more than 1 spot for a campfire, so we were not able to have one. Otherwise, perfect view of the Friday night fireworks & staff was friendly.These comments are from a verified stay60 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The cabins are old and not in very good shape and the beds were very uncomfortable. But, we loved the location! We had a beach front cabin and we truly enjoyed being right on the beach. It was awesome for my kids and oh my gosh, what a view! If you're looking for a nice hotel room, the cabins aren't a good choice for you. But if you don't mind older, more rustic accommodations and you value the view and the access to the beach, you will love the cabins! We stayed one night in the main house on the 2nd floor. It was much newer and had very nice beds. It was huge and had 3 queen beds. That room was very nice and had a balcony facing the water. It does not have a kitchenette, though. Overall I was very happy with our stay! I had read reviews and I knew what to expect. I would definitely stay there again!These comments are from a verified stay54 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Our stay was great. Loved the location and direct access to the beach. I would just recommend The Beach House website be updated now that their are new owners. Firewood isn’t provided and the appliances are outdated. A few simple changes to some of the basic amenities would go a long way keeping this place a 5 Star.These comments are from a verified stay56 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Older but clean cottagesThese comments are from a verified stay54 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We spent 3 nights at The Beach House. The location was perfect, at the end of the busy strip but within walking distance to shops. Our cabin was not on beach but only a few steps away. Martin, the manager, was very helpful and the morning muffins were real good. Cabins are vintage, clean and cooled with window air conditioner. Plan to go back and get beach front!These comments are from a verified stay55 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Accommodations were good.

Did you find this helpful?|The hotel was right by the beach, a bit old and dated but very clean. The housekeeper cleaned daily which was needed because of the sand from the beach. I would definitely stay againThese comments are from a verified stay66 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|These little cottages were simple and basic, but a gem in among the high rise hotels. We had sand and the beach at our doorsteps. Swans floated by and a family of ducks waddled by. Loved our stay!These comments are from a verified stay68 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We were expecting a vintage cottage right on the lake, and that is exactly what we had - vintage meaning older fittings, and some worn plumbing fixtures - but that was part of the charm and the beach setting is wonderful. The morning breakfast muffins were delicious too! The cottage reminded me of the cabins in Maine in which my family used to stay decades ago, bringing back good memories. However, those who expect a fancy modern resort would be disappointed - even though the property' advertising is accurate.These comments are from a verified stay69 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We had reservations to stay at The Bridge House but upon arrival were told The Beach House was closed for the season. We checked in at the Bridge Vista instead (per the sign at The Bridge House) and they were extremely accommodating to our reservation. The service at Bridge Vista was superb and the hotel itself was immaculate. The check-in lady got us checked into a king size bed with a Jacuzzi tub and charged us per our initial confirmation reservation. She was very nice and I felt her positive customer service alone was an example of how The Beach House and Bridge Vista conduct themselves.These comments are from a verified stay96 people found this helpful.

Mark made sure that we had everything we needed and provided helpful information about the area. House keeping was very efficient, our room was always tidied up in a timely manner. We look forward to staying there again next year.These comments are from a verified stay87 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The view couldn't be beat. Cabins are right on the beach. Step out your front door onto the sandy beach with porch swings and chairs. Across the water from the island and the bridge to the left. Just beautiful. The cabins are rustic, but just what you need. I would stay there again in a heart beat!These comments are from a verified stay82 people found this helpful.

Heat in room didn't really seem to work and it got cold over night.These comments are from a verified stay92 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Enjoyed our accommodations for our stay which included bringing our pet. Very clean and such beautiful views of the beach and water. We were welcomed to use the amenities. Would have liked to have used the fire pit, but it was filled with debris the first night. The second night is was clean and another guest had started a nice fire. We wish the reservation process had included the fees for bringing a pet. It was not much but I would have appreciated the heads up before we arrived at the cottages.These comments are from a verified stay77 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|I have been going to the Beach House since the eighties. I like the individual cabins and their arrangement on the property. It makes for both privacy and socializing with other guests. The cabins are clean and comfortable. The Beach House is BY FAR much better than the damn box hotels. I don't know of any other cabin places in the area, and I will definitely plan to stay at the Beach House in the future.These comments are from a verified stay86 people found this helpful.

Great stay!These comments are from a verified stay85 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The Beach House was exactly what I was looking for while on vacation; my own little spot on the beach. It's too bad there aren't more in the area. Martin was a wonderful host. He made sure I had everything I needed and provided me with suggestions. He even called for shuttle service with Shepler's for my trip to the island. Sheplers is top notch! How wonderful to be picked up and dropped off, right from my hotel. They are so friendly and helpful. The Island Book Store was wonderful. I met a very interesting Michigan author. Kilwins was excellent. I had to stop one more time before I departed. I wish I could have stayed longer! I would love to stay at The Beach House in the future. It's an excellent place to write. The history is my favorite. I wrote about my visit in my weekly column, in the Norton Lakeshore Examiner.
