Experience the sights and sounds of a community rich with the past...

Be our guest at beautiful historic Windermere Hotel on Mackinac Island and enjoy the relaxed quaint lifestyle of the 19th century. Built in 1887 as a summer residence, the hotel opened its doors and its warm hospitality to the public in 1904. The Doud family continues to provide gracious and courteous service to our guests as we have for over 100 years. Our long-time, friendly staff serves as a wonderful resource for our guests on Mackinac history and the island community.

The Windermere retains an atmosphere of classic charm and elegance while providing its guests the comfort and convenience of modern amenities. Its beautifully appointed rooms offer a spectacular view of Mackinac Island's harbor and the sparkling blue waters of the Straits of Mackinac. We welcome groups, family reunions, and wedding parties. Help us plan your informal wedding rehearsal at the Windermere Doghouse!
