We enjoyed our 3-night stay. The home is less than a mile from where you catch the ferry to Mackiniac Island, which made it very convenient. There is also a small but well-stocked grocery store less than a mile away if you want to cook meals in-house. There are also many restaurants less than a mile away as the house seems to be on the edge of a touristy area of Mackinaw City. The house was in a quiet neighborhood although right across the street was a Motel, which concerned me. We were there in early June and the motel seemed to be closed. Not sure if it is permanently closed or if the hotel is seasonal housing for island workers. The inside was clean. The rooms were small but the beds were comfortable. The toilet in the downstairs bathroom tilts sideways quite a bit -- I noticed this in other comments as well -- but not unusable. The property description mentioned parking for 6 cars but I only saw space for two. There is no AC, which we did not need, and no dishwasher, just FYI. I would be willing to stay there again on another visit to the island.

This historic home is charming and cozy. Big bonus, that it is a couple blocks from town and all the towns amenities. We loved going to the fort, Heritage Village, both lighthouses and the beach. One of my favorite stays!

The house was comfortable, convenient, and clean but we did struggle with a few ants in the kitchen. Not an infestation but we saw a few every day. The biggest issue was the loud neighbors who partied till 3 am every night. Since the house had no AC we wanted to open the windows at night but the noise kept us up. A fan for the bedrooms would have been great. With the windows closed we couldn't hear the party. Other than that we had a great time and we appreciated the games, lawn chairs, and amenities provides. We had a great time on the Island and in the city. If you are looking for a nice, simple place to stay, bring a fan and it will be perfect.
