What’s Special About This Hotel

One of the Mackinac House’s defining features is its boutique-style accommodation. The 19 spacious rooms are thoughtfully designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and historic character. Each room tells a story, reflecting the island’s rich heritage and providing guests with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. This Mackinac Island hotel is a place where you can experience the island’s history while enjoying the comforts of today.

Mackinac House is close enough to the Mackinac Island State Park, Historic Fort Mackinac, the Mackinac Island Marina, and Main Street that you won’t miss any island adventure. The hotel’s proximity to the bustling Main Street, with its quaint shops and restaurants, allows guests to easily immerse themselves in the island’s unique culture and charm. Additionally, it’s just a short stroll from the ferry docks, making it a convenient choice for those arriving on the island.
