The Inn At Stonecliffe

The Inn At Stonecliffe

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed at, with incredible views of the Mackinac Bridge and the Straits. And somehow, the staff tops the hotel. This staff, most notably Hallie, went out of their way to make our visit for our 30th anniversary special, including having a special cheesecake made by the head chef at the Straits Restaurant for the occasion. Just top notch! In addition, the grounds are gorgeous, restaurants are so good (loved the wood-fire pizza at the Backyard!), and the setting just will never be topped. I've stayed at many elite hotels across the world, but this visit was the best one I've ever had. Could not recommend more."

"We LOVE this location! This was our second time staying here, and I am sure we will be back again. The lodge setup is really nice, with outdoor spaces like the patio, fire pit, and space to play yard games or just sit and relax. The staff if friendly and helpful, and the morning breakfast is very good."

"Such a great hotel. We had never been to Mackinac before and really loved this hotel and the location. There is a bike rental right out front, so you can easily rent a bike and ride around the island. It was really close to all the other things we wanted to do on the island. We enjoyed the hot tub too. That was nice after a long day of walking around. Overall we loved our stay and will definitely come back!"
