"Excellent service. I forgot my jacket in the room and they called me to see if I was still on the island. Unfortunately I was boarding the ferry at the time of their call. They offered to put it on the next ferry out or mail it to my home. Now that's going above and beyond. Will definitely stay here again."

"It was my first time to Mackinaw City & Island for my birthday. I searched several hotels in the area then found Cabins at Mackinaw, it was easy and convenient for a reservation. All the staff was friendly and courteous. When I saw the cabin it was exquisite, clean and well-maintained. I was totally satisfied with the cabin it completed my first time experience to Mackinaw City. If anyone is looking for a great getaway in Mackinaw City & Island I'd highly recommend these cabins, you won't be disappointed. Plus, its within walking distance to the ferry when the time comes to visit the island."
