The Mackinac Palace- 180* views of Lake Huron

The Mackinac Palace is an elegant, handicap accessible bi-level home situated on the bluff overlooking downtown St. Ignace with 180-degree views of Mackinac Island, Moran Bay (Lake Huron) & The Straits of Mackinac. On the main level, you'll walk into the large family/living area with two convertible full-size day beds. Off the family room, you'll find bedroom #1 holding a king-size mattress, bedroom #2 holding 4 sets of bunk beds, and a full-size shared bathroom. Take the stairs or the elevator to the second level which holds a large, stately open concept kitchen/living/dining area, with a massive deck and three-season room overlooking the bay. Off the fully equipped kitchen, you'll find the master bedroom hosting a king-size bed, a private master bathroom with a jetted jacuzzi tub, and a deck overlooking the bay. Mackinac Palace offers amazing views of the bay from nearly every aspect of the home. The large water-facing deck provides a perfect spot to watch the weekly fireworks, sunsets, and ferry activity.
Mackinac Palace requires Sunday - Sunday reservations.

Beautiful House
The house was very spacious and exceeded our expectations. Great location to restaurants and ferry. No major issues that needed addressing with host during our stay. Bedrooms were large and comfortable. My only suggestion would be to have a grill for use during stay and a bit nicer / more comfortable deck furniture for enjoying the nice sized deck and views. Otherwise great property and would definitely consider staying again.

There are just a few minor maintenance issues that keep this property from being excellent. Easy to remedy. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property is as described and it is a good base for day trips throughout the U.P. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent for a large group
First and foremost, the location is excellent. It was walking distance to downtown and the ferry docks. The views of the lake on the upper level were spectacular. There was plenty of room for our family of eight to spread out. The home was nicely equipped for most everything we needed. We appreciated all of the utensils and kitchen equipment as we brought food with us to save on costs. Our kids all reported the beds to be comfortable and the master bedroom has a memory foam mattress that is of good quality. Pillows however need a refresh. For anyone that is looking to enjoy the jetted tub as I was, it is not in working order. I see that it was mentioned on a previous review and still has not been fixed. Perhaps it would be best to remove a jetted tub as an amenity until it is fixed. Upon arrival, it was necessary to wipe down the counters and sweep the floors. There were crumbs on the floor as well that were sticking to our feet. Ceiling fans and light fixtures are due for a thorough dusting as well. There were also dirty towels left in the washing machine that we would have needed to wash or remove prior to using. It may be necessary to check in on the cleaners from time to time to make sure everything is in excellent shape, as this is assuredly a five star house, with only minor cleanliness issues bringing it down

This place is amazing! We had an awesome time. Very comfortable, spacious and super clean! The host was very responsive. This is definitely located in a great spot. We could see the fireworks, see all the cars driving in the car show and it was in walking distance of town. We will definitely book again!

Lots of room
Stayed with extended family members for proximity to Mackinaw Island and Pictured Rocks day. Stairway in yard made restaurants and shops a quick walk away. No need to drive to dinner. The views of water were fabulous and the deck was great. Roomy interior made it comfortable for large family. Wish there were more separate bedrooms. Highly recommend.

Beautiful & spacious home
This house had really nice big rooms. Large family rooms both upstairs and downstairs. It looks just like the photos. Nice and clean. Walking distance to downtown. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue we found was that the wifi signal was not strong enough for the TVs in many of the rooms. We had to run a hotspot off a phone to use the tv in the upstairs. Also the home is run by a rental agency. We received an email the day before with information that would have been nice to have in advance. Check-in is at 4pm and you really only have an hour to contact the office if something goes wrong so be sure to check-in at 4.

Super trip! Nice and relaxing. Home was actually nicer than we imagined and would be perfect for larger groups, however my wife and I enjoyed the larger floorplan and felt like we could call it home. Location within easy walking distance of downtown as well as additional day trips to Mackinaw and other . Would highly recommend and hope to return!

Beautiful view!!!
We had an amazing trip and truly enjoyed our view of the waterfront. It’s a huge beautiful home with plenty of seating for meals and tv. Only two showers with large party, a little challenging when going out, but we scheduled for it. The ice maker was not working and the jacuzzi tub didn’t work if you are counting on those. We will stay there again for sure!

No outdoor grill or fire pit
It was a beautiful spacious house. Very clean and lovely. The lift was appreciated for bags and people. However the deck had only 3 basic chairs and no table of any sort. The view was great from the deck but no furnishings! The master deck was completely bare. Also several luggage racks in in all the very large closets would be helpful.

Annual family vacation
We, our two children, and 6 grandkids enjoyed the week at this rental. It was spacious, the kids loved having their own bunk room, and it had a beautiful view. A local shopkeeper told us about the weekly fireworks on Saturday nite, and they were literally right in front of us- a beautiful way to end the week!
