Wonderful Hotel FREE Breakfast
My room was excellent. A special bonus was the "included" breakfast buffet that included hot and cold entries. What I did find ironic was the request to save water by reusing the towels, yet the toilet tanks are the huge 5 gallon per flush variety. The hotel is nicely located above the marina and enough away from downtown so as not to deal with the influx of the daily visitors. Also, since horses are the main means of non-human-powered transportation it is nice not to be too close to the smell of horse urine and excrement that permeates downtown. The evenings are delightful around the stove pot fires making ’smores witht he cool breeze blowing up the hill.
Traveler's tip on shopping
Mackinac Island has the best fudge ever. Anyone who comes to Mackinac Island should know that this is not a discount tourist attraction, so taking a ferry to the island looking for discounts will only end in disappointment. Everything gets to the island by boat so the prices are higher than normal. What is nice is that you can walk to almost anywhere or take a horse-drawn taxi or ride a bicycle. It appears to be a great place for college kids to work for the summer.

What a great adventure
My wife and I were traveling with two high school friends and their wives during our stay at the Island House Hotel. The weather was perfect and we spent several hours sitting on the massive front porch and front lawn. Included in the price was a buffet breakfast in the formal dining room which was wonderful. This "Grand Old Hotel" atmosphere at a great price made our stay unforgetable.
