Bay view is a cute b&b located on the main road and just a few blocks from the ferry. The rooms are small but typical of an old establishment. Service in the breakfast room was very good and the breakfasts, snacks, and desserts were very tasty. The only issue I have is with the room special. The web site says... More

I first have to say, my daughters, ages 7 & 10, have never stayed at a bed & breakfast before. Their first experience here at the Bayview was a FANTASTIC one! Our room was really quaint and overlooked the main street of Mackinac. It had a queen bed & a twin bed - the girls thought that the extra twin... More

We stated at the Bay View to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Because we came very early in May, we took advantage of their offer to stay 3 nights for the cost of 2. The large lemon-colored cottage sits on the lake with amazing views of the harbor right out our window. We were on room 208. The room was... More

Beautiful and the perfect location. Just very slightly out of town makes for a nice brief walk, but still calm enough to relax nicely in the evening. Room 201 has 2 views and is a nice size for an old B&B. Beds and pillows were very comfortable (I'm picky) Evening desserts and breakfasts were fantastic! Kitchen staff very welcoming and... More

My wife and I have stayed at numerous B&B's and the Brigadoon is by far the best that we have ever stayed at. The accomodations and service are number one. They advertise a gourmet breakfast and my first reaction was what can you do with an egg. Wow was I surprised!! Additionally, a dessert is served between 8 and 9... More

My husband and I just got back today from our new "home away from home," the Brigadoon! It truly felt that way- from your extremely gracious and hospitable staff, to our cozy room with all of the amenities we had hoped for (and then some), to the delicious breakfasts, the great location, and the impeccable condition and decor of the...

The Bay View has become one of our all time favorite places to stay. If you want big and fancy, this isn't for you. If you want a grand old lady with character, warmth, cleanliness, personality, great staff, great food, wonderful location/view, then this is for you. This was our third time at the Bay View and we consider Rose,... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night while visiting Mackinac Island. This was our first ever stay at a Bed and Breakfast, so we didn't really know what to expect. Prior to the stay, I priced a lot of hotels on the island, and this was more expensive than many of the hotels. We decided to stay here... More

This B&B is a wonderful place to stay while on Mackinac Island. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Rose (who does the wonderful cooking), and Harold, who waited on us at breakfast and dessert. The rooms are clean and functional, but they are small, as expected in a B&B. Breakfast is a treat and different each morning.... More
