The Callewaert family has continued to add contemporary conveniences while preserving the historic ambiance of Mackinac Island's oldest operating hotel & award-winning state landmark since rescuing the estate from pending demolition in 1969. Whether lunch in the garden, an afternoon rocking on the porch listening to the clip-clop of passing horses as sailboats glide into the harbor, dinner in the elegant dining room, or evenings stargazing over the harbor, this is the place to experience an authentic Mackinac Island retreat.
