This is a tremendous inn located at a great spot on the island. You walk out of the front of the property and look left to see a nice view of the lake. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was a great start to the morning. The inn keepers were fun and friendly. One of the best things about Hart's Inn is the outdoor seating area found in the courtyard. Staying here and you will not be dissapointed!

We had a wonderful time on the island. It was a first for my husband and I. The room was wonderful. Bed was very cozy. And we both loved that we could hear the horses. The courtyard was perfect for us to just sit and enjoy ourselves. The Inn is right off the main road so it wasnt a long walk from the dock. Only thing I wished it had was a small microwave. We will, however stay again. Fabulous customer service.

I wish I could give 4 1/2 stars. I will definitely stay here again. It was incredibly clean and well maintained and the small courtyard grounds were beautiful. It's less a bed and breakfast than a very charming roadside motel, but it exactly fit my needs for a very reasonable price, for the island. It's all one floor so no stairs. I did take a star off since I had to go to their sister property to check in after schlepping my bags from the ferry, but it's not far, just an unexpected inconvenience. Also, a small chest under the TV (room 9) would have been nice to have another surface to spread things out. My room had individually controlled heat and air and outstanding bedding though fluffier pillows would be welcome. Location is only a short stroll from the Shepler's dock and convenient to everything. The people complaining about the noise (horses) obviously don't understand Mackinac! Not sure what a non covid-19 stay would have been like. Coffee, iced and hot water were available and I was told I could have breakfast and use the facilities at the sister property, but I didn't. I unhesitatingly recommend.

Nice location if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Main St. The room was clean and nice. Morning coffee and continental type breakfast offerings were good. Friendly managers and Owen was great getting us all settled in. Would recommend.

Love staying here. Staff is excellent. only complaint would be they had a strong suggestion we use the porter service for a later ferry while we stayed on the island. Last at front desk suggested $2 a bag, then when we dropped off the guy said $5 a bag and tried to guilt us with how this is how they make a living. I'm fine with the cost, but be consistent.

Great location being on market but right at the end of the street. It’s close to everything but away from most of the hustle and bustle. Very clean and comfortable. Had Everything I needed. Coffee was great and breakfast was typical of the continental variety. Lots of toast choices, peanut butter, lemon poppyseed muffins, cinnamon roll muffins, hardboiled eggs, yogurt and cereal. I was able to leave my luggage after I checked out so I could have the rest of the day on the island. Check-in was easy! My only wish was for a bathtub but thats me being picky. Would recommend staying and I’ll most likely be back!

Hart's has a wonderful quaint cottage feel to it. The rooms are clean and the staff are very nice. We have stayed there many times and love it every time. They are a block from downtown so it's a simple walk to all the food and attractions but you are just far enough away to enjoy the quiet. The outdoor space is perfect with tables and chairs and even a bike rack if you bring your own bike. I highly recommend you give Harts a try!

Hart’s Inn was so perfect for our stay, it was just what we needed as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids as it was close to town, close to everything really as far as convenience goes. The staff was friendly and our room was clean which was huge for me personally because the night before we stayed in Mackinaw City at a motel that was not pleasant, so checking in to Hart’s Inn was a breath of fresh air. I think one of my favorite parts was sitting out on the patio in the evening, it was so peaceful, I miss it already! I was also impressed with how quiet it was, not once did we hear people outside of our room or next door. I highly recommend staying here!
