Loved this cute little place! We had a room looking out to the lake and it was gorgeous seeing the sun rise/set, also the sound of the waves was soothing while falling asleep! Only thing to mention is that breakfast was small not a lot of options and the room it’s in is very small. Would definitely come back and stay here!

My husband and I stayed at the Clearwater Lakeshore Motel during our recent visit to Mackinaw City and the Island. We selected this property due to the location and option for a lakefront view of the Mackinaw Bridge. The staff was very welcoming and made the check-in process quick and efficient. Our 2nd level balcony room was clean, comfortable, and modern, possibly compared to other options in the area. I would recommend this property and would love to stay there again in the summer months (when the weather is warmer) to use the private beach.

Very cute place right off of the lake. Budget friendly. They had bonfires last night next to the lake and the views were unbeatable. The only thing we didn't like was that there was a strong musty smell in our room that wouldn't go away. Other than that, the place was wonderful.

Good location right on the beach. Smores and firepits on the beach in the evening. Did not have a closet or even a bar to hang clothes, other than that the room was comfortable.

The room was very nice. However the dirty and insect infested windows were DISGUSTING. That prevented us from opening the windows instead of using the A/C. Clean the exterior and windows and your review will be much better.

The people who run it are AMAZING! Loved our room and the view of the Lake and the bridge. The bonfires every night and the yummy smores! Breakfasts were delicious. The only bad part was having our weekend end and having to go home. 😊

Such a special treat. All the people working there were lovely and campfires on the beach every night were absolute magic. Simple rooms, good sound proofing, great location.
