The Beach House is a family owned and operated resort run with pride and integrity. We are the last stand of cottages on the water in Mackinaw City. We are 1 mile east of downtown. There are sidewalks and a bike trail to get to town.
Seven cottages sit directly on the beachfront the others back up in a U shape from the beach. Everyone staying at the Beach House has access to our private beach. The Beach House is pet friendly (small pet fee) with 2 animals maximum. All hotel rooms in Michigan are non smoking. Smoking is permitted outdoors.

The manager was very friendly and helpful. The cottages are adorable, clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our family. The Beach House is also conveniently located near the ferries, downtown shopping, and other attractions but just out of the way enough to be a quiet, peaceful place to rest. We can't wait to book our next stay!These comments are from a verified stay55 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Have been staying at the Beach House for years!

We had a great sleep on both nights. We would highly recommend The Beach House to guests traveling in the area.These comments are from a verified stay37 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Martin is outstanding!!, hope I rembered his name correctly. He was at the Beach house cottages and did everything to make our stay pleasant. He is the kind of ambassador you find at a 5 star hotel. Hope they realize it and compensate him accordingly. The cottages are older, but have a lot of charm.These comments are from a verified stay44 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|We had a great time staying at the Beach House! Martin was kind enough to bump us to the larger cabin with a kitchenette as the days we were there some were available. The room was a great for the price! I love being in a cabin much more than a traditional hotel so this was a perfect choice for our vacation! Martin was the best host recommending some great tourist destinations and making sure we got the best experience for our money. We plan to go back sometime during a summer month when the weather is nicer and we can enjoy the lakeside right outside these cabins. The view was stunning!These comments are from a verified stay50 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Perfect and wonderfulThese comments are from a verified stay38 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We liked the little retro cottages and my sister and I were quite happy with our two bed courtside. Access to the beach was as promised. Enjoyed the hot muffins in the office each morning. Had hoped to do more cooking in the kitchenette but there were no pans or dishes provided and we hadn't brought anything with us. Would suggest that they add a coffee maker and a toaster to each room and put in their description that you need to bring your own pots & pans, etc if you want to cook on the two-burner provided. We were glad that the heat worked in Cabin #5 as it got down into the 40's each night! We will stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay78 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|Friendly host made me feel very welcome. The view is spectacular. Its very quiet and peaceful. I do wish the water was purified in some way...it has a sulfur-y smell and a bad taste.These comments are from a verified stay64 people found this helpful.

I was so happy to find a new place that was great to stay atThese comments are from a verified stay61 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We LOVED The Beach House. Our cottage was right on the beach, beautiful views. Only wished there was more than 1 spot for a campfire, so we were not able to have one. Otherwise, perfect view of the Friday night fireworks & staff was friendly.These comments are from a verified stay61 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The cabins are old and not in very good shape and the beds were very uncomfortable. But, we loved the location! We had a beach front cabin and we truly enjoyed being right on the beach. It was awesome for my kids and oh my gosh, what a view! If you're looking for a nice hotel room, the cabins aren't a good choice for you. But if you don't mind older, more rustic accommodations and you value the view and the access to the beach, you will love the cabins! We stayed one night in the main house on the 2nd floor. It was much newer and had very nice beds. It was huge and had 3 queen beds. That room was very nice and had a balcony facing the water. It does not have a kitchenette, though. Overall I was very happy with our stay! I had read reviews and I knew what to expect. I would definitely stay there again!These comments are from a verified stay55 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Our stay was great. Loved the location and direct access to the beach. I would just recommend The Beach House website be updated now that their are new owners. Firewood isn’t provided and the appliances are outdated. A few simple changes to some of the basic amenities would go a long way keeping this place a 5 Star.These comments are from a verified stay57 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Older but clean cottagesThese comments are from a verified stay55 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We spent 3 nights at The Beach House. The location was perfect, at the end of the busy strip but within walking distance to shops. Our cabin was not on beach but only a few steps away. Martin, the manager, was very helpful and the morning muffins were real good. Cabins are vintage, clean and cooled with window air conditioner. Plan to go back and get beach front!These comments are from a verified stay56 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Accommodations were good. Some updates needed to the cottage would be nice. Food choices were okThese comments are from a verified stay57 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The hotel was right by the beach, a bit old and dated but very clean. The housekeeper cleaned daily which was needed because of the sand from the beach. I would definitely stay againThese comments are from a verified stay67 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|These little cottages were simple and basic, but a gem in among the high rise hotels. We had sand and the beach at our doorsteps. Swans floated by and a family of ducks waddled by. Loved our stay!These comments are from a verified stay69 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We were expecting a vintage cottage right on the lake, and that is exactly what we had - vintage meaning older fittings, and some worn plumbing fixtures - but that was part of the charm and the beach setting is wonderful. The morning breakfast muffins were delicious too! The cottage reminded me of the cabins in Maine in which my family used to stay decades ago, bringing back good memories. However, those who expect a fancy modern resort would be disappointed - even though the property' advertising is accurate.These comments are from a verified stay70 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We had reservations to stay at The Bridge House but upon arrival were told The Beach House was closed for the season. We checked in at the Bridge Vista instead (per the sign at The Bridge House) and they were extremely accommodating to our reservation. The service at Bridge Vista was superb and the hotel itself was immaculate. The check-in lady got us checked into a king size bed with a Jacuzzi tub and charged us per our initial confirmation reservation. She was very nice and I felt her positive customer service alone was an example of how The Beach House and Bridge Vista conduct themselves.These comments are from a verified stay97 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|We enjoyed the beautiful location of The Beach House. The staff was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Mark made sure that we had everything we needed and provided helpful information about the area. House keeping was very efficient, our room was always tidied up in a timely manner. We look forward to staying there again next year.These comments are from a verified stay88 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The view couldn't be beat. Cabins are right on the beach. Step out your front door onto the sandy beach with porch swings and chairs. Across the water from the island and the bridge to the left. Just beautiful. The cabins are rustic, but just what you need. I would stay there again in a heart beat!These comments are from a verified stay83 people found this helpful.
