Pit Stop

We needed a pit stop in Mackinaw City and chose Clearwater. Its location is perfect. The view of the Bridge and Lake Huron is spectacular.

Jimmy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was convenient to the downtown area and the pier for the ferry to the island. And each evening had fires in the fire pits and provided s’mores The only thing I would like to suggest for this property is maybe provide a place to park bikes during stays. Bike racks would be great for guests that are most likely going to the island and taking their own bikes.

The staff is A+

The staff was extremely helpful for all that we needed. There is a complimentary breakfast offered, but seating at the breakfast serving location is limited and rather cold. We suggest taking items back to your room to enjoy them comfortably.
