Mackinac Island lakeshore view at golden hour

Mackinac Island · Est. 1923

Timeless
Grace by
the Straits

A distinguished retreat on the shores of Lake Huron, where refined comfort meets the timeless beauty of Mackinac Island.

A Legacy of Hospitality
on the Great Lakes

For over a century, Straits Lodge has welcomed travelers seeking more than a place to rest — they come for the experience of genuine island hospitality, where every detail is attended to with care and every guest is treated like family.

Nestled along the eastern shore of Mackinac Island, our lodge overlooks the shimmering waters of the Straits of Mackinac, where the freshwater seas of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan converge. Here, the pace slows, the air turns crisp, and the world beyond fades into memory.
