Bavarian Haus Lakefront Inn

Great lakefront hotel. We walked right out the door and onto the beach. Lots of things to do for the kids. Great recommendation for dinner from the front office staff. Would definitely return.

We had a great stay as a family. We requested two rooms near each other with sinks inside the bathrooms (vs in the main part of the room). They accommodated both requests and gave us adjoining rooms. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tubs. We loved having a lakefront room for such a reasonable price. The beds were comfortable too! We all slept well. Location isn’t far from the ferry docks. The hotel offers kayaks for a low hourly rate. We didn’t get to take advantage of that, but it’s a great amenity. There are also grills and picnic tables out back. Only things to note: breakfast is continental. Would’ve been nice to have some scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon. Also, the floors are thin, so you can hear your upstairs neighbors walk around.

We stayed here for 3 nights over the Memorial weekend. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the room was updated. No issues with the room. Although the weather wasn't the greatest, it was nice to be able to open the window to let fresh air in. This property would be ideal during the summer months. The beach is right behind the hotel. The pool was quite large and it was great that they had 2 hot tubs! The only negative was the breakfast. It had a lot of options, but would have been better if there were more protein options such as scrambled eggs or sausage. My family is from Michigan and we travel through St. Ignace quite often. I would definitely stay here again.

beach And large outdoor area for our young family with little kids! Property has definitely declined and staffing shortage for sure. Front desk lady was great and super friendly. Our rooms (3) all were ready early! Bonus!

This was fine for a two night stay with kids. Had a little playground, right in the water which is nice.

This is a sprawling complex with lots of directions of where rooms are located (breakfast, pool, exercise) to keep track of when checking in. A cornhole game was near the beach outside our window and birds often came by for a look see. We met up with family who were staying further downtown. We visited Castle Rock and the Soo Locks before coming to Mackinac Island where we are now.

Hotel was good. The beach area was nice. A little rocky but the other surrounding hotels didn’t even have a beach area. They provided us kayaks, chairs to use, bean bag boards, fire pit… so Overall, nice little amenities for the families. The hotel needs updates. You can hear above you and to the sides of you. There was a leak into our room from the shower above For the most part staff are friendly, but they are short staffed. So not always friendly. For breakfast, it closed 9 am sharp. I’ve never stayed somewhere and had staff announce breakfast closing and turn away hotel guests who wanted breakfast. They weren’t allowed to make pancakes if it was 5 minutes before closing. The shuttle service is great! To and from the ferry and to a casino If you wanted to go. I’m not sure I would stay there again. The hotel smelled musty, no microwave in the room, the ice machine was broken and the beds were very uncomfortable.

It was one night stay. Hotel was nice and quiet. It needs some upgrades, staff were very nice. It is a waterfront hotel and the view is beautiful, but no beach for the kids to play and have fun.Indoor pool was kind of cloudy water.

Wife and I went for a little get away while the kids were at camp. Great spring board for going to the island and up to Sault Ste Marie. Great view of the lake. Great value. Room was clean, staff was very nice.

There should be a Microwave over 700Watts in every room for convenience. Communal anything is gross. Breakfast in this and most hotels now are cheapening out. NO meats, no yogurt, no waffles. Just say you don't have breakfast. Most of all, a really low and kiddie size toilet. Half of the few TV channels were in Spanish or had NO sound at all. The staff was helpful and pleasant.
