Great docks and staff. We were there waiting out weather . Weather was very ugly and we were well protected. Everything is within a couple of blocks - restaurants, auto parts store, etc. They have a farmers market on weekends at the marina . Some of the freshest meat and bread we've had in a while. Also the ferry company to Mackinaw runs a shuttle that will pick you up at the marina if you call.

Agree with previous reviews- good service from marina personnel. Good access to downtown stores and restaurants. Laundry facilities good. Located ~1.5 miles from Sheplers ferry to Mackinac Island. The docks themselves are among the nicest we've experienced.

Docks in good shape, fairly protected from wave action. Walkable to shopping downtown, a little far for grocery, need bicycle. Didn't need fuel or Pumpout so can't comment.

Nice marina, easy in/out. Dockmaster is friendly but difficult to reach by VHF or cell but that might be because it's the end of the season and he's working by himself. Single sex, password protected bathrooms and showers are clean. Easy walk to restaurants but we didn't try any.

Nice marina with good dock help. Washers and dryers $2 each are available. Restrooms were adequate. There is a small boater lounge with table and chairs which is great! Easy walk to restaurants and EZ mart but grocery is further away. Take the Shepler Ferry to Mackinac Island because they have a shuttle to and from marina. Be sure to do carriage ride at the island.

Nice facility, gang washrooms with showers, and laundry. The marina has wide docks, generous fairways and several gathering spots. Bikes and scooters are common amongst the seasonal slip holders.

There is a nice selection of shops and restaurants close by. Groceries about 1/2 mile at the Dollar General. Market on Thursday afternoon/evening.

Well protected from southwest and west winds.

We stayed here over night after leaving Mackinac Island. The marina slips/piers are new and the crew and office staff were excellent. Medium size grocery stores about 1 mile away and several restaurants within easy walking didstance.
