About our Motel Rooms

The Mackinac Lake Trail Motel was built in the 1950s; therefor, the rooms are smaller than most modern motel rooms. Motel rooms have been remodeled and include TVs, air conditioning and heat, and beautiful log furniture. We feel, that like us, many people will appreciate the charm and personality of the lovely classic Americana architecture (not to mention it's pool, landscaping, and walking trail to the spectacular lake shore viewing the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island).

These reasonably priced rooms can sleep one or two people. All of our units, in keeping with our reputation, are very clean and well maintained.

The pool will open as soon as weather permits in May or June. Check with our reservation staff for opening dates. The pool at the campground will be available for our motel guests and might open earlier!

The Jack Pine Lumberjack Show (nightly @ 7:30pm till 8:30pm), is less than 1/4 mile up the road. Motel guests will hear some noise during the lumberjack show (cheering, etc.), but can purchase discounted tickets to go enjoy the show!

Guests of the Mackinac Lake Trail Motel have complete access to Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping, which is situated on 1 mile of lakeshore and features a heated pool, camp store, Wi-Fi* (*click for more info), 3 playgrounds and a free shuttle to the Mackinac Island Ferries. (Park Store is open Memorial Day through Labor Day).

Last Monday through Friday Darlene, my bride of 30 years, and I had the distinct pleasure of camping with you. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely compliment you on an excellent facility. We started married life camping in a little more rustic circumstances. It was in the form of a canoe trip honeymoon in Ely, MN. So we have been exposed to all kinds of camping - even motel camping. I'm in business as of 24 years and a staunch supporter of free enterprise. I really admire the way the camp was run. You seemed to have all the bases covered. It was kept clean. I even enjoyed the contact with a few of your nice people. It was well supervised and I can't believe some of the rules we lived by and seemed to work - such as taking all the garbage to the front gate. 600 sites and no pick-up??? And it all seemed to go so smoothly. Again it strikes a blow for free enterprise and it CAN BE DONE!!!.... Keep up the good work and we shall return plus participate in the best kind of advertisement for you -- telling others about a fantastic campground in Mackinaw City. With warm regards,
