So, this is a very old property. That said, it is very well-maintained. I am of the mindset why not stay in a room that has knotty pine walls and mid Century modern furniture than the usual cookie cutter hotel. Parking is directly in front of your room door. It is 20 feet to walk to the lake front. It is a very nice walk up and down the lakeshore. There are geese and other water birds fishing in the morning, people with their dogs running along the shallows. Just the sort of vibe I want an old Lake town. Of note, it is much easier to get on the ferries in St. Ignace than Mackinaw City.

Very dated property in need of a deep cleaning. Room wasn't ready when we arrived at 3:00pm check in time. We were given a second room and discovered after unloading that cable tv wasn't working. Staff tried to get it working to no avail and then called another person who wasn't working only to be reminded that cable service wasn't working in any room on that side of the property. We were then given a room on the other side of the property. Bumped the a/c cover and it came off exposing a filter that looked like a wool mat it was so dirty. Wiped something off the floor and discovered the floor was literally black with dirt. Normally we would have left after the second room but Stacy was so very nice. She kept apologizing for the problems and tried so hard to accommodate us. The only redeeming quality of this motel was Stacy and the property owners should be thankful they have such a nice employee. We will not return and cannot recommend it.

Had a king size bed, sheets did not fit. They came off, with you just sitting down. Bathroom was small and door was hard to open and close. Thought I was going to be locked in the bathroom. But veiw was good. And the room was rustic cute.

The owner/manager was so helpful when we booked late in the day and arrived at 9:30pm. It was so wonderfully convenient after such a long ride. The room was so welcoming ☺ and I absolutely loved the decor! The ceiling is so cool.The beds were very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely be back.

The motel is lakefront with a nice beach. Fire pit for guests. The manager was very nice and upgraded our room to ground floor which was better for mobility issues. Clean, comfortable bed and nice, thick bath towels. View of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island are beautiful.

Done with is wed site
First we had trouble even finding the place. Second it was an old wood wore down dirty place. Hotels.com rated it as very good, not so, also showed it as fully refundable, never checked in but hotels.com billed me anyway. I do not recommed hotels.com because you can contact anyone if you have a problem. Their online chat service is terrible

Very Nice and Quaint
For an inexpensive room, it was surprisingly nice! Lots of hardwood inside the room. The bathroom was tiny with a standup shower, but it was sufficient for an overnight. There is a bonus little beach with some chairs to relax and listen to the water. Would 100% recommend.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our stay at Bay View. Housekeeping staff did a nice job of tidying up the rooms each day. Loved the lake view and nice lounge chairs outside by the water. Comfy beds, clean place.
