Where is Mackinac Island? How do I get to the island?
Answers to these questions can be found on our Mackinac Island Information page.

How do I get to Harbour View Inn once I'm on the island?
From the ferry dock, turn right (east) on Huron Street (Main Street). Walk along Huron Street for approximately 10 minutes (about three blocks). Harbour View Inn is located on the corner of Huron and Church Streets next to Ste. Anne’s Catholic Church. Hint: Follow the tall white steeple of Ste. Anne's!

How do I get my luggage to Harbour View Inn?
When you arrive at the ferry docks in Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, ask the dockhands to tag your luggage for Harbour View Inn. Your luggage will travel on a cart on the back of the boat to the island. Once on the island, our dock porters will pick up your luggage from the Mackinac Island ferry docks and take it directly to your room at Harbour View Inn.

Do you offer packages or package deals?

What is there to see and do on Mackinac Island?
A lot! Bike the 8.2 miles around the island and stop along the way to see Arch Rock, British Landing Nature Center, Lover's Leap and Devil's Kitchen. Visit Fort Mackinac, a 219-year old National Historic Site built by the British. Tour the Mackinac Island Butterfly House, a large greenhouse filled with beautiful butterflies. Take a carriage tour of the island, or explore Mackinac's many trails on horseback. Spend the day shopping downtown in Mackinac's unique shops, and of course, don't forget the fudge!

Since there are no cars on the island, how do you get around?
Most everything on the island is within a ten to fifteen minute walk from the inn, so walking and biking are the most popular transportation choices. When those options simply won't do, horse drawn taxis are available to take you where you need to go.

What is your pet policy?
Harbour View Inn cannot accommodate pets.
