Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Our recent trip to Stonecliffe will be a lifelong memory! We rented the Bridge View cabin, my girlfriend and I enjoyed our two nights we stayed at the property. Mackinac Island is a wonderful place, and Stonecliffe is a bit of a hike to reach but once you're there the peace and quiet and exquisite accommodations and dining will be unmatched when comparing to other lodging options on the Island including The Grand Hotel. I will be going back to Stonecliffe for sure, and it's worth the price for the stelar experience we had!”
“Best hotel on the island. Effortlessly classy and timeless unlike the Grand Hotel. Beautiful yard with orchard, chickens, and a lovely overlook at sunset rock. If you are looking for a place to stay on the island I would highly recommend Stonecliffe over any hotel. They don’t charge $12 just to get in and the staff are much more accommodating and friendly than Grand Hotel. I cannot emphasize this enough stay at Stonecliffe and not Grand Hotel!!!”
