Cedar Hill Lodge

Cedar Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Great Lodge and very nicely priced. Staff was friendly and premises were clean. Rooms were modestly sized, very clean and well taken care of. Beds were very comfortable, as was the rest of the room. In my opinion, much better priced and comfortable than many of the hotels on the Mackinac City side. Will stay again."
