Figuring out where to stay Mackinac Island is essential for making the most out of your vacation. Although there are various Mackinac Island lodging options, we recommend selecting a family-operated, historic, and charming choice this season. The Island House Hotel and the Pine Cottage Bed & Breakfast offer an authentic Mackinac Island experience you will remember forever.

Initially built as a beachfront resort in 1852 for Charles O’Malley, the Island House Hotel was one of the first on Mackinac Island. Today, it is the oldest operating hotel on Mackinac Island and a Historic Hotels of America award winner. By providing historic charm and modern conveniences, this family-operated estate has just what you need to experience the magic of Mackinac with all the amenities you look for in a hotel.

The Island House Hotel has two dining experiences conveniently located on the estate. For an outdoor lunch in the garden, the Ice House BBQ serves classic fare at umbrella-shaded tables. To experience an elegant dinner with a relaxed sophistication, enjoy a meal at the 1852 Grill Room in the dining room or on the waterfront terrace.

Featuring a welcoming wrap-around porch with comfortable rocking chairs, the Pine Cottage Bed & Breakfast is the perfect place for watching the horses go by while drinking your morning coffee.
