"We chose this property because of the high ratings. It was awesome! The highlight of our trip was sipping Hot Cider (with tequila) by the fire. Wonderful view. The grounds were immaculate and decorated nicely for fall. It was our first trip to Mackinac Island and I’m afraid a very high bar has been set. We stayed in the Straights suite in the mansion. Only complaint there is I think that suite is over the kitchen. You can tell when they turn on the fans for the day. Seem to be in the room under the bed. We are early risers and late to bed, so really not an issue for us. Others might consider that before booking that room. I highly recommend for"

"Loved the balcony overlooking the harbor. Sat with coffee and watched the sunrise, ducks, geese, gulls and people coming and going from ferries. Staff members excellent, friendly and helpful. Had to put towels and blanket up over the blinds as too much light in the room at night. Could use a shade there. King bed was very comfortable. Very convenient location and would stay here again."
