Mackinac Island, located in the Straits between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, is a beautiful and unique Michigan vacation haven. Accessible only by ferry, or private boat, from either St. Ignace in Michigan's upper peninsula, or from Mackinaw City in Michigan's lower peninsula (the mitten). Once on the island, you'll find yourself running on island time. There are no cars permitted on the island, the only modes of transportation are pedal bicycles and horse-drawn carriages. Mackinac Island has full-service resorts, luxury condos, charming B&Bs, brand new and historic hotels, quaint cottages and more. You can stay downtown amid all the activity on Main Street or escape to quiet places scattered all around Mackinac Island. Please note, if you stay at a different hotel on Main Street or book an AirBnb it could take around 30 minutes of travel time to reach Stonecliffe. Below are some places we recommend checking out, due to their proximity to our venue.
