Great Stay.

“My mom and I spent a weekend on the island for a mother-daughter getaway. We had a garden view room. We were on the first floor and there was a small patio outside with Adirondack chairs. The complimentary breakfast was nice. The room was clean and the staff was friendly.”

Excellent Hotel

“My wife and I booked a two-night stay on Mackinac Island to rest and relax after dropping our kids off at college. It was a last-minute decision and I think the Harbor View Inn had the only remaining room left on the island….and what a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay.”
