Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good

"Our room was fine. It was clean and quite adequate for spending the night. We will note that the pictures shown did not match the room that we received. The picture showed lovely rooms with wooden walls and modern bathroom counters, etc.. It also said we would stay in a cabin. Our room was attached to the office and just had regular wallpaper, nothing like the photo or description. That was not a real problem, but it was not what we were expecting. The price was very good and we rested well. 🙂"
