Mackinac Island Cabin Steps to Ferry Sleeps 12

The Mackinac Island ferry docks are steps from the front door — walk to the boat, cross the Straits in 15 minutes, and be on the island before the summer crowds find it. The Mackinaw Palace is a 3-bedroom cabin in St. Ignace that sleeps 12 with panoramic Lake Huron views from every level, a game room built for groups, and Tahquamenon Falls 90 minutes away. Castle Rock is 10 minutes. The Mackinac Bridge is 5. This is the best address in the Straits of Mackinac. The space Spring in the Straits of Mackinaw is an entirely different experience. The ice breaks up on Lake Huron, the ferry opens for the season, and for a few weeks, Mackinac Island belongs almost entirely to the people who planned ahead. The Grand Hotel dining room is quiet. The fudge shops are unhurried. The bike trails around the island are open and empty. And you get back to the Mackinac Palace in 15 minutes with panoramic Straits views waiting from every level of the cabin. Castle Rock trail opens in spring with sweeping views of the island and Lake Huron from the top of a 200-foot limestone outcrop, 10 minutes from the front door. The Lake Shore Trail along the St. Ignace waterfront comes alive. Tahquamenon Falls runs at full snowmelt force 90 minutes south. Whitefish Point bird migration peaks in April and May just up the Lake Superior shore. Come back to two king master suites, a bunkroom sleeping up to 8, a game room with arcade consoles and a basketball game, a fully stocked kitchen, and a private deck where Mackinac Island sits three miles offshore on the horizon. 3 bedrooms, sleeps 12. This is your Upper Peninsula gateway in every season.
