Nothing fancy but a nice little cabin and was clean. Bed was semi comfortable. Very nice access to beach onsite complete with fire pits. Would stay there again. Check in for day ends at 8:00 pm which seems a bit early.

The cabins were immaculate and the location was perfect. We enjoyed a fire on the beach and the check in was efficient. The gentleman who helped us provided our ferry tickets at a discount and answered all of our questions. Plenty of linens and beds were comfortable. Will definitely return.

Martin is amazing! We felt very welcomed and had an incredible view. He offered to upgrade us to beach front for a very reasonable fee. It was close to town and he gave lots of recommendations. Would definitely come back!

Serious Service!

Our daughter couldn't find her reservation or where it was supposed to be and Martin at Beach House call 15 other locations to make sure she wasn't at any of them. After he verified she wasn't he gave her a great rate so she could next to us for the weekend. Above and Beyond. Thank you Martin.

The cabins on the beach have a nice view of the Mackinac Bridge, the cabin itself was spacious and had everything we needed. The fire pits were provided and the office had a selection of beach toys for children as well as roasting forks for hot dogs and marshmallows. Everything was clean and comfortable, we would definitely return!

Martin was a pleasure to deal with at check-in. The room was sufficient, however, this place is very dated and seemed to be overpriced for the product delivered.
