8 out of 10We absolutely loved the quite and private cabins and private beach. Wanted to get away from HOTEL environment and found this lovely, very clean and friendly place along the Beach (and it was Clean and water was perfect)- defiantly a wonderful relaxing experience. Will return again to the Beach House with our Family. Close to downtown for shopping and dinner out. Plus shuttle driver came and picked us up to take us to the Ferry Boat. Great location! Very happy customer.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10The Beach House was beautiful! Being right on the beach was perfect. The cottages were clean, and Martin at the front desk was very helpful and friendly, as well as the rest of the staff. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the dorm size refrigerator. I would definitely visit again!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Everything was absolutely perfect. This is my second time staying here, the last time was several years ago, when I was very young. As an adult I’ve moved away from Michigan and had wanted to share the Ares around where I grew up with people in my life now. The Beach House has changed and been updated since then, but even with COVID still looming it was an absolutely amazing escape back to the best memories of my childhood. This place offers the unique, friendly and personable atmosphere of a small lakeside cabin with the added bonus of being so close (within walking distance) to all of the best that Mackinaw City has to offer - including a gorgeous view of the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. It’s a perfect balance of being “right down the street” and “away from it all” at the same time, plus amazing owners and staff - literally the best things anyone could want in a vacation location!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10This is a charming location to stay in Mackinaw City. Cute cottages and their property is right on the beach. Our host was very nice and accommodating. The prices are amazingly cheap! We were able to buy our Ferry tickets right there at a discount and our host gave us great recommendations for breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend eating at the Hook restaurant. It has a great view, the staff is super nice and the food was fantastic. I would highly recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese - it's the best I've ever had.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10I absolutely enjoyed our stay at the beach house. the gentlemen working the front desk was polite and upgraded our room since we stayed for multiple days. the location was perfect. the appearance of the cottages was a little outdated but i wasn’t there for the appearance of the room.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Surprisingly quiet. We originally had a single cabin with a queen bed. We got up graded to a large cabin with a queen bed which is the way to go. It had a full bath. Just a warning the queen cabin is very small. Just big enough to fit the queen bed and the bath is a single stand up shower stall. Any eating will be done sitting in the bed. Beautiful beach and the fire pit is sweet. Only downside is the water pressure in our cabin was very weak in the shower. If you expecting the Ritz you will be a little upset. Still worth a look and a 5 star stay for my wife and IThese comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10First, I LOVE the Beach House. Historically and personally it is an "up north stay" personified. A real gem and it should be maintained that way. I was sorry when we heard from other guests that their cottage was not even close to clean or maintained properly. Our stay itself was perfect because of the genuine northern cottage and lake views. The manager used terms like: "don't complain or I'll deny it" and "the owners don't care and are tearing these down" to keep the guests from saying anything. I hope the community of Mackinac City finds a way to maintain this gem and others like it. We got exactly what we wanted in staying there. Nostalgia, a beautiful view of the bridge, island and lake and access to Mackinac City. Our stay in the area was perfect for us. These cottages need your professional attention. I love this place and I hope to stay again.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Basic but large room, think a touch of rustic, but very clean. Location was great as was the front desk manager. Didn't swim, but others were in the water. Just a couple minutes drive to "downtown", or a nice walk if you want some exercise. Would definitely consider again, a nice change from the high-rise chains.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Just had issue with WiFi...don’t say free WiFi when you don’t get any connection unless you were up by the office area but once you walked back to the beachfront area you lose connection, but other then this everything was good!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10The location was absolutely perfect. We loved the family feel. The beach was super clean and great sand. The cabin was comfortable though extremely dated. It desperately needs serious updating. The kitchenette sink was stained and the enamel worn from years of use. Though it was clean. The bathroom linoleum was faded and stained and peeling at the edges. Tiny bathroom sink with no counter space. Although it was clean. Wallpaper was dated and peeling. The beds were comfortable and clean. Old-ness aside, the place was clean and comfortable. We absolutely loved the location and the beach. We have already made reservations for next year! The manager gentleman at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly.These comments are from a verified stay
