Pros
Private sandy beach with Mackinac Bridge and Island views
Buy-one-get-one-free breakfast deals at two local restaurants
Family-friendly amenities including beachfront cabins and two-bedroom units
One block from Mackinac Island ferry docks
Cons
Indoor pool located 100 feet from the main building
Some rooms lack microwaves
“While the location is near the lake, the outdated facilities leave much to be desired; the rooms show significant wear and tear, and cleanliness appears to be an ongoing challenge. For budget-conscious travelers prioritizing location over comfort, it might suffice, but be prepared for a less-than-pristine environment. A significant overhaul seems necessary.”
