Nice place, not sure I would come back.
The hotel is historic and lovely with a great location. The porch and firepits were great. The lobby is warm and welcoming. The room was small but clean but it was VERY loud. The first night, kids playing in the hallways, knocking on doors til after 2am when i called and asked to please help us and then at 7am, we were awakened by the cleaning staff slamming into our door making their way to other rooms yesterday, today shampooing carpets. If you would like to sleep in or get some rest on your getaway, this is not the place to stay. The front desk was apologetic but I feel like 7am is too early to be waking guests. (obviously they did not cause the kids to run around, they did help when I called) It is a pricey stay for so little quiet.

Comfort, Convenience & Quality
Our Island House stay was perfect! The location couldn’t be better…within walking distance of shops, restaurants & state park hiking trails. The hotel also had the best prices in town for bike rental & Casey, who rents the hotel’s bikes was friendly & accommodating! The 1852 Grill Room had the absolute best prime rib we’ve ever tasted!! All in all we would highly recommend The Island House Hotel.

Good time at the Island House
All was taken care of. Luggage was delivered from the ferry and was sent for us to the ferry return trip. All we had to do was drop it off at the appropriate locations. We had no worries about luggage. Fabulous!

The property is so comfortably remodeled, and is kept immaculately clean. Everyone of the staff members is extremely friendly, professional and always has a smile on their face. The restaurant 1852 is beyond the best on the island. Everything we had was made to perfection and was artistically presented. The Icehouse for lunch in the back garden is also wonderful. Island house is only a short block to the beginning of the shops. Along the way are the art museum, the fort and the grocery store is the first shop. The view from the Island house is beyond compare being just across the street from the marina. Sitting on the porch and rocking and just watching the horse and buggies and people go by are so relaxing. A couple of our suggestions are being addressed by the Island house: a grab bar for getting into the bathtub which can be asked for at the front desk as well as toiletry containers that are easier to squeeze. We will always choose Island house.

Great location in an historic building in a quiet part of Mackinac Island. Convenient to town. Solicitous staff who were helpful in getting our luggage to and from the nearby ferry. We received a food voucher which we used at the excellent 1852 Restaurant in the hotel. We had both breakfasts there, as well. The room was on the small side and the bathroom sink was in the bedroom. This is the price to pay for historic.

Beautiful hotel! It was very relaxing to sit on the front porch and look out at the lovely view before us…horse drawn carriages, boats on Lake Huron, and a manicured front lawn with vibrant colored flowers!

The Island House
A charming Inn from the 1800’s that has been meticulously kept up to date. If you have a challenge walking stairs be sure to request a first floor room. The property has beautiful views of the water front. It is very charming.
