Looking for Mackinac’s quiet side?
Where historic charm, lake views, and timeless beauty meet meaningful impact.

Perched high on Mackinac Island’s west bluff, The Inn at Stonecliffe blends historic elegance with untouched natural beauty. Once a summer estate, this storied retreat has been lovingly renewed—featuring original woodwork, generous porches, and refined interiors that reflect its timeless character. Tucked away from the island’s bustling downtown, the Inn offers a rare kind of stillness—where every breeze and view across the Straits feels like an exhale. Guests are invited to explore enchanting grounds, from the Woodland Grotto and historic apple orchard to the sweeping Straits Lawn, or enjoy a carriage ride along century-old trails.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation, a destination wedding, or a meaningful gathering, The Inn at Stonecliffe pairs exceptional dining and breathtaking event spaces with an atmosphere of calm sophistication. Mackinac Island has been named one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Places to Visit in the World and USA TODAY’s #1 Best Summer Travel Destination—and here, in a place free from cars and noise, sophistication meets serenity. This isn’t just a quiet escape. It’s a meaningful one.
