Mackinac Island · Est. 1923
A distinguished retreat on the shores of Lake Huron, where refined comfort meets the timeless beauty of Mackinac Island.
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.

A thoughtfully appointed room featuring a plush king bed, handcrafted furnishings, and views of the surrounding island gardens.

We returned to Straits Lodge for our twentieth anniversary, and it felt as though no time had passed at all — the same warmth, the same breathtaking views, the same unmistakable sense of belonging.
