Hotel
Bicycle Street Inn
Mackinac Island, MI 49757
This is our absolute favorite hotel on the island, and the one we will be staying at if any guests care to stay on the island at the same place!
Hotel
Chippewa Hotel Waterfront
Mackinac Island, MI 49757
This is the hotel that is attached to the restaurant where dinner will be held, it is beautiful and on the waterfront, although a bit on the pricey side. But this is another option for guests who want to stay on the island.
Hotel
Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City
Mackinaw City, MI 49701
Here is another hotel option on the Mackinaw City side of the bridge, staying on the mainland is definitely going to be cheaper than staying on the island, but just note that the last ferry back to the city is at 9 pm, so keep that in account for your plans. Mackinaw City is has a cute downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants, as well as a few historic sites that can be visited. There are a ton of hotel options in Mackinaw City, any of them are fine!
Hotel
Quality Inn Lakefront
St. Ignace, MI 49781
Another option is to stay on the north side of the bridge in the Upper Peninsula in St. Ignace. There is less to do on this side than on the city side, but you can easily drive back and forth across the bridge (please note there is a bridge toll!) However, the flip side is that the hotels in St. Ignace are usually cheaper. There are a ton of hotel options in St Ignace as well!
Hotel
Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping
Mackinaw City, MI 49701
If camping is more your style, there are several campgrounds in the area. This is Carol's absolute favorite, the one she grew up camping at every year since childhood. The campground does offer a shuttle service to the ferry docks, as do several of the hotels.
