We only stayed for one night. We found that this B&B badly needs renovation of all upholstery, carpet and curtains. The bathroom was very small, and the wahsbasin is in the room, with a shelf on top that makes its use nearly impossible. The sheets were clean, but very old, with stains. The bed is very soft.The room is very... More

Everything you would expect from a B&B, and then some! The staff is hands down the friendliest group of people you will ever meet. We stayed the last weekend the island was "open" and we were treated so great even when most of the guests left on Sunday and everyone was closing down. It is a long season and everyone... More

This was our first time on Mackinaw Island and the first time to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. Both were beyond our expectatons. The inn was well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The big thing is the wonderful breakfast, afternoon cookie break and evening deserts. The staff were friendly and charming. At our opportunity we will certainly return here.

My girlfriend and I had spent a week in Nova Scotia, with a real whirlwind driving tour, and we were ending our vacation at Mackinac Island at the Bay View. With no cars, horse driven buggy rides, a relaxing facial and massage, fantastic food, reading looking over the bay we were ready to go back and face the real world

We had a wonderful two night stay last week. The accommodations were lovely!. The breakfast was delicious. A huge unexpected bonus was dessert (included in basic fee) every night at 8PM in the dining room. The first night was a huge piece of cheesecake that was warmed (a delightful touch!). The second night was strawberry shortcake with two huge scoops... More

Arriving later then expected due to the weather we were very happy for a warm and cozy room. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The next day they directed us to the bike rental shop next door and off we went on the 8 mile trip around the island which was beautiful.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say our recent visit to Bayview (Sept 3 - 7) was wonderful, as usual. We love Mackinac and staying at the Bayview Inn. Breakfast was scrumptious each morning and waking up to the wonderful view of the harbor from the windows of room 201 was all we remembered. As this was our... More

My husband and I were on the Island and decided to stay another night at the last minute and were lucky enough to get a room. This is "THE" place to stay if you want to relax at a nice, clean comfortable place where they totally pamper you. The view of the lake and the Marina is so amazing, you... More

My husband and I stayed two nights and the Bay View the last week in August. Thank you to Becky for making our 25th anniversary extra special. The house is quaint, well maintained, has a beautiful view from the balcony and the dining room. The whole house is decorated in Victorian style which made me feel I was "somewhere in... More
