About us

Perched atop Mackinac Island's scenic west bluff, The Inn at Stonecliffe offers an unforgettable setting where timeless elegance, natural beauty, and exceptional hospitality come together. Following a remarkable $30 million restoration, the historic property has been thoughtfully reimagined as one of the Midwest's premier destination resorts while preserving the charm and character that have defined it for generations. Surrounded by sweeping views of the Straits of Mackinac, the Mackinac Bridge, and 16 acres of peaceful woodlands and manicured grounds, Stonecliffe offers a secluded retreat unlike anywhere else on the island. With luxurious accommodations in the historic Mansion and beautifully appointed rooms in the Summer House Building, guests enjoy an elevated island experience defined by comfort, privacy, and breathtaking scenery. As an overnight guest, you'll experience one of Mackinac Island's greatest luxuries—the quiet moments before the first ferry arrives and long after the last one departs. Whether you're sipping coffee overlooking the water, gathering with loved ones beneath towering pines, or watching the sunset paint the Straits in brilliant color, every moment at Stonecliffe feels effortlessly special. For events, few places compare. Exchange vows overlooking the Straits of Mackinac on the Great Lawn or tucked among the serene pines of the Woodland Grotto, then celebrate with family and friends in the stunning Sunset Pavilion. From weddings to corporate retreats, every event is complemented by exceptional cuisine, attentive service, and unforgettable views that create memories to last a lifetime.

Fort Mackinac

Historical landmark
2 mi
Fort Mackinac was founded during the American Revolution. Believing Fort Michilimackinac at what is now Mackinaw City was too vulnerable to American attack, the British moved the fort to Mackinac Island in 1780. Americans took control in 1796. In July 1812, in the first land engagement of the War of 1812 in the United States, the British captured the fort. In a bloody battle in 1814 the Americans attempted but failed to retake the fort. It was returned to the United States after the war. The fort remained active until 1895. During these years Mackinac Island was transformed from a center of the fur trade into a major summer resort.
