Bicycle Street Inn

Bicycle Street Inn

8/10 Good
"Really Liked: Thoughtful re-design and decorating, welcoming messages and amenities (basket of items available in case of packing mistakes) , gift card to wonderful Swedish Pantry, a next door restaurant we open for lunch and breakfast. Very clean and well organized. Opportunity for Exceptional: when the Main Street road construction is finished it will be easier to navigate the general area of the home for dinner and walking, could use a lamp or two in the otherwise dark living room and the main bedroom mattress is ready to be replaced. All fixable."

Harbour View Inn

Harbour View Inn

8/10 Good
"The Harbor View Inn had a wonderful look and location, but the staff was only attentive to the question asked, with no added details/explanation/information. "Happy to have you visit to our Island and to our Inn", "Can I give you any needed information for your trip?" Those words would have been lovely to hear. The continental breakfast was sufficient, but with no "good morning", " have a great day", thanks for starting your day with us". I am from the Midwest where we love a conversation starter."

Breakers Resort & Beach Bar

10/10 Excellent
"Great service and happy staff. The restaurant served very delicious dinners. The sauces to the proteins were very delicious and the prices were reasonable for the types of food that were prepared. They have their own beach and bonfires were started every night with plenty of chairs. The indoor pool and hot tub was well maintained. Free breakfast was a nice touch."

Cabins of Mackinaw

Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good
"Our cabin was wonderful. For the most part the room was in good repair, but overall the property needs a little TLC as a whole. Our housekeeper, Trev, made sure the room was clean, and the front desk was helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and getting to the ferry. Parking was a bit interesting in front of the cabins. Would stay here again, especially with kids (they enjoyed the floorplan)."
