Bay View B&B, Mackinac Island, Michigan

Built over a century ago in 1891, Bay View on Mackinac Island still celebrates her original family heritage in the Grand Victorian style that is truly Mackinac. (pronounced Mackinaw) Beautifully positioned on the bay, Bay View is the only B&B/Inn of her type and style resting on the water's edge. Each guest room will embrace you with its own unique seascape, while our second story sundeck boasts an incredible view of the straits of Mackinac.

At Bay View, you will enjoy our hot, gourmet seated breakfast on the veranda, the best homemade cookies served every afternoon, and a generous tast-tempting dessert each evening. And of course..."bottomless cups of our famous Bay View Blend Coffee"... all with our compliments.

Mackinac Island is easily accessible via highway from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace where scheduled ferry boat service is provided throughout the day and into the evening. As the schedule varies seasonally, please be sure to get current schedule information. Bay View Bed and Breakfast is located just a short 5-10 minute walk from the downtown ferry docks; a leisurely stroll through our quaint downtown shopping area. Feel free to acquire the services of Glenn, our Dock Porter, who can assist in transporting your bags between the ferry dock and Bay View.

Asking us to choose our "favorite room" is like asking a mother to name her favorite child. Each is exceptional. Each has its own special qualities. And each is fussed over by a staff who is dedicated to making your visit a most treasured memory. From our standard room to the Bridal Suite, your Bay View accommodations share charming true-to-period furnishings, elegant window treatments and bedding ensembles, private bath with marble floors, deluxe maid service, and, of course, all the time you need to relax and rejuvenate your spirit. ALL of our Bay View guests will receive a freshly-prepared hot breakfast and endless cups of our famous Bay View Blend Coffee with our compliments.
