Our guests are enthusiastic in their praise of Metivier Inn! The following is a sampling of just a few of the comments we have received most recently:

My husband & I highly recommend Metivier Inn. This was our fourth trip to Mackinac Island. We have stayed at the Grand Hotel & Iroquois Hotel, both with their own uniqueness. However, now after my stay at Metivier, we have found a place to return to year after year. I felt at home here & spoiled by the Inn keepers David & Blanca.

Our room was the Grand View, with our own private patio & whirlpool. I truly felt like I was in paradise. Waking up in the morning to a soft rain & seeing the beautiful hydrangeas out my window with the sound of horse hoofs clip-clopping in the distance. It is a slower pace & that’s why we come here & stay for days. The breakfast was over the top. David & Blanca served hot oatmeal with homemade granola, yogurt, hot egg dish, sausage, fresh fruit bowl, pastry with huge slices of apple in it ( I can still taste it, so good ), gourmet breads, coffees & teas. Oh, & cereals for the kids.

My husband & I love to bike, usually until dark & this breakfast kept us going! This Inn is perfect – the flowers – the service – the breakfast – the porch for people watching – the room & private patio. Please don’t change a thing. Our next trip will be with all the kids & we will be only staying at Metivier Inn. Thank you so much for a perfect vacation get away.

I loved my stay at the Metivier Inn! The employees are very friendly and accommodating, the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. The inn has a wonderful porch that wraps around the building and beautiful flower beds. It's very close to everything. I would strongly recommend the Metivier to anyone interested in visiting the island.

As the tour guides pass the inn we hear them say, "this is the best inn on the island." We whole-heartedly agree. Each time we stay at the Metivier Inn we want to stay longer next time. The ambiance of the inn is perfect with several porches and areas to relax in solitude, or observe the fabulous gardens. The gardens are exquisitely planned, groomed, and the object of several painters on the island. The bedrooms are typical hotel room size with everything you need, up-to-date televisions, and most importantly, VERY comfortable beds. Finally, the service is friendly, prompt and accommodating. With the ideal location, I recommend this inn to all for a great vacation.

My husband and I booked a room for a wedding that was being held on the Island, and we are so happy we didn't stay at the wedding site. The Inn was very quiet, and low-key (granted we weren't there too much during the day due to the wedding). The room was very clean, and had everything that I could possibly want right there. I loved that there was a nightlight in the room, and the bed was like sleeping on a huge fluffy cloud. Normally I don't fall asleep on my back, but here I had no trouble- the instant I hit those fluffy pillows I was out!

They had a crockpot full of warm oatmeal with apples and raisins in it that was so delicious (I wish I had someone to make that at home for me!) There was also an egg casserole, ham, different breads to toast, and fruit salad. The staff were also very friendly and accomidating. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to the Island!

The Metivier Inn has become our home away from home for extended family vacations. Everyone who has joined us over the years has fallen in love with the place. The hosts are the best, the accommodations are very nice and comfortable, the location is nearly perfect (except the year while they were building the new medical clinic next door), and the place is the talk of the island due to the beautiful landscaping.

Breakfasts are wonderful, as are the afternoon treats. The porches are perfect for sitting and listening to the passing of the horses. You can even rent one to ride directly across the street.

The Metivier Inn is in a great location on Mackinac Island. It is just behind the main street, so you do not have to carry your bags far. The rooms are a comfortable size and the breakfast in the morning is wonderful! You will definitely be full from breakfast! If you are not sure where to stay on the island, give the Metivier a try.

Members of the Metivier family visited the Inn:

My Grandfather – Charles Lambert Metivier was born in this house 11/28/1888.  I stayed here as a child when the house was owned by my Great Aunt Mary.  Then it was a small house with a big porch.  You have done a wonderful job here!   Joanne Seewald Camille and Frank Camille

I am the great granddaughter of Louis Metivier, the man who built the original home.  I always enjoyed coming here as a child and sitting on the porch with my Grandmother Myrtle.  Her husband Charles Metivier was born in this house in 1888.  This is my 3rd visit to the Metivier Inn.  I definitely will be back.  I thank you for doing such a lovely job restoring this home.  Laura Sevonty, Seattle, WA
