What’s Special About This Hotel
This 1858 Victorian hotel is the oldest continuously operated hotel on Mackinac Island, with a convenient location directly on Main Street next to the ferry dock. Lake View gives guests the perfect balance of convenience and affordability in spacious rooms with modern comfort. This Mackinac Island hotel’s historic charm is seen throughout; you can still spot original fixtures and details that have been carefully maintained. It’s like stepping into a living museum.
Staying in the Lake View Hotel, you can watch and listen to the horses go by on the front porch, swim in the heated indoor pool, and unwind in style. After a long day of exploration or a cozy escape during the island’s tranquil winter months, you’ll find the perfect island retreat at the Lake View Hotel.

What to Do
The main highlight on Mackinac Island is to explore the island by bike. The hotel has no bike rental, but you can reserve a bike when you book your room with the Mackinac Island Bike Shop. The hotel has bike racks; however, you will need to bring a lock. The bike shop also holds sunset bike rides that you can join.
Enjoy lounging in the hot tub or the indoor heated pool under the four-story atrium when you aren’t exploring the island. And for those needing to sit and rest their tired legs from biking all day, sit on the front porch in the rocking chairs.
