Windermere Hotel

Had such a wonderful experience at The Windermere. Awesome location ! Short walk to watch the beautiful sunsets and walk across the street to see the sunrise. Ladies at the front desk were all so helpful and kind. The porter was fast and efficient. The spacious front porch offers a great view of the lake. Rooms had comfortable beds and ample room. Just a lovely place! Will return.

Not the first time on the island but the first time staying overnight there. & would definitely recommend it. Loved this place! So homey & comfortable. Nice continental breakfast. Just wish they had some of it available in the evenings for snacks & drinks. No fridge or microwave in the room but they had them available in the dining room. The only complaint I had was the bathroom door wouldn't latch on our room so it wouldn't stay closed. When I told the housekeeper, she said she knew & that maintenance would fix it when they closed for the season! I really think things like that should be fixed ASAP because it was a big inconvenience for us! But overall we loved it & would definitely stay there again!

I have been at Mackinac Island 10 times in a 30-year historical period. That has covered for me a matter of how I have progressed in my life and how I have enjoyed the island. This year I planned on brining my three granddaughters and another grandmother to the island. Looking for a place to stay was not going well early in the year, and I almost gave up. Finally, came across Windermere and they had openings for the weekend of June 13 to June 16. We were able to find a room there that would accommodate five persons and that was a real plus. We had to change rooms during that time, but it went well and the staff there was super with helping us move during out stay. Fell in love with the location and that it was right on the Main Street of the Island made it even more enjoyable. If m

The first time I stayed at the Windemere was about 35 years ago with a girlfriend/coworker. We both absolutely loved the accommodations and the location is gorgeous. View of Round Island, the Lighthouse and of course, Mackinac Bridge. I've returned several times since with the same friend. Up until I married 29 years ago. My husband and I have visited the Island and brought our children when they were older. Just finished our second weekend visit of the year. We always stay at Windemere. Not just for the things previously mention, but for the staff who is always friendly. Robert is especially helpful with offering suggestions for activities and just chatting. Great place to stay. I hope to continue visiting every year until I can't. After all these years I still haven't taken advantage of

This is where we stay every time we visit Mackinac. It has the best front porch of all the hotels on Main St, and although on the main street, it's at the end so you do have a little bit of privacy/seclusion. The hotel itself is very clean and adorable and the service is great. Highly recommended.
