"Loved the beach view, sunrise was amazing. The remote on tv did not work but that was the only thing that was not ok."

Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the smaller cabins that are right behind the newer larger looking ones that you can see from out front. They were definitely dated, but still not too bad. It could use some upgrading like tearing the old nasty carpet out and maybe installing hardwood floors, laminate floors, or something along that line. Beyond that everything else was fairly decent did not see any major bugs other than an occasional spider, but that’s to be expected seeing how you’re literally staying in a cabin. Overall, not a bad place to stay for the price."
