We want to let other travelers know that we had a wonderful and great time at the Island House. We stayed there for two days and it was the perfect birthday present for my husband's special birthday. The room looked charming and so sweet, everything was perfect in the room and it was so clean. The front desk people were... more

We stayed here once before last year with our kids and we decided to return based on the TRAVElZOO deal we got for $99 per night during weekdays and $149 for weekends. Deal also came with optional $5 pp all inclusive buffet per morning per guest, free 1/2 lb. Ryba's Fudge and free Island House Poster. Hotel nights on this... more

Spent two sun-filled days at the Island House. Really enjoyed the fabulous location, on the east side of town, just far enough away from the downtown shops. Lovely view of the harbor, and the clip-clop of the horses as they passed by the hotel balcony. Very relaxing. Ditto for the nightly fire under the stars after a full day of... more

This is our second consecutive stay at the Island House (last Sept, this Sept), and we probably wouldn't stay anywhere else. Unlike last year, this time we didn't spend extra on a view room, but ours was nice enough, large enough, and very comfortable. Besides, except for sleeping, we were hardly in it. Good, helpful staff...gave us the advice we... more

We stayed at the Island House with four other couples, who all payed the same price for a deluxe room with a view. The view of the straits was lovely. The rooms varied greatly in their size and amenities. One room was updated and spacious, had a coffee maker, but lacked an air conditioner. Another was more dated in decor,... more

When you stay at The Island House, you might think you are staying at a hotel created by Walt Disney. Everything is just right. They pay attention to all the details. However, there is one major difference: The Island House is authentic and truly historical, and the staff are not just cast members, but dedicated people who care about the... more

The front desk staff was always kind and helpful, and the breakfast staff were great as well. We did have slow dinner service one night, but we enjoyed the great view instead of worrying about it and shrugged it off. Our food arrived a little while later and was delicious. We stayed on the fourth floor in the cheapest room... more

Anybody who has ever opened a travel or tourist book will see that the Grand Hotel is considered the glamorous, gracious center of everything on Mackinaw Island, but I respectfully disagree. I've just finished my second stay at the Island House and found the hotel just as charming and gracious (and somewhat less stuffy) than the larger, more famous hotel... more

Since the hotel was built at the turn of the century, its rooms are understandably small, Overall the hotel is nice and has good service both at the front desk and in restaurants. The package we got included breakfast and dinner. Breakfast has typical fares such as eggs, biscuit & gravy, Dinner includes a small salad and an entree of... more

We stayed at the Island House in May of 2007 and it was positively charming. We had a lovely room overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and I could have stayed there all summer. We recently returned after purchasing an expensive all-inclusive package and the experience was a nightmare. The room we had was old, dirty, and had extension cords running... more
