View Traverse Magazine article about Bay View of Mackinac
Come back to yesterday, where grace, charm, and romantic turn-of-the-century traditions are complimented by the modern conveniences of today
Just a short ferry-boat ride from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, lies Michigan's crown jewel, historic Mackinac Island, and its most romantic and distinctive bed and breakfast, Bay View at Mackinac.
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.
Historically, Bay View is open to our guests from first Thursday in May until (and including) the last weekend of October.
