Our room at the Chippewa hotel was the right corner room of the top floor. We had an amazing time at the Chippewa, overlooking downtown. We were close to everything - the waterfront, park, shops, restaurants - you name it. Staying on the island is definitely worth the extra money, especially at the Chippewa. Clean rooms, great service, quiet neighbors, good prices.

Just wanted you to know that The Chippewa was the FIRST place we ever stayed on M.I. in July of 1969. I was pregnant for our Daughter, Penny. We returned as a family almost EVERY year after that. In more recent years we stayed on our boat in the marina. Our first room at The Chippewa was soooo tiny, the commode was in a closet! We loved it though and are looking sooooo forward to returning July 1, 2009. We live in Florida full time now so it will be good to be up there away from the heat and humidity. P.S. Our daughter got married on the Island !!

To Michael (the night manager: I've been meaning to write these past few months, but have not sat down to do it. I want to thank you again for what you did for us when Scottie and I stayed at the Chippewa the first week of June. We had a really good time and made such precious memories as we celebrated our 10th anniversary. So, thanks again for going out of your way to provide such a wonderful experience for us.

Just wanted to express a big THANK YOU for the webcam on top of your hotel. I check it daily to see what is happening on the Island. Today (12-03-09) it is snowing! Thank you for allowing me to experience seasons on the Island that I wouldn't otherwise get to see. It is a wonderful customer service to provide.

Just got into your site and WOW, it is so new and nice! Makes us long for the start of the 2010 season so we can sip a cool one and enjoy the sights from your patio! See you soon.

We just got back from your Hotel. We have gone the last 10 years. We had the best time this year. The Chippewa just seems like home to us. We always go with my sister and her husband.Julie the Manager made this trip! She really went out of her way to make us comfortable. This is the Best Hotel on the Island!! Thanks again for everything you do to make our stay Wonderful!! I can hardly wait until next yr!!!

We stayed at the Chippewa for eight consecutive years. The only reason we didn't make it back last season was because we bought a place on the island; but we continue to visit both the restaurant and Pink Pony on a regular basis with friends and family. I don't think you could find a better staff anywhere on the island.

My husband and I and another couple stayed in the Chippewa for two nights and it was great. We loved the food and the rooms were very good but our bathroom was too small. Our friends had a slightly smaller room but a larger bathroom. Everything beautifully decorated. The hot tub was super..didn't want to leave that water !!! Location is right downtown so you can walk, shop and eat. I would recommend the hotel to anyone..go when schools are in session..no kids around...adult syle. And no cars!!!!Would go again in a heart beat.

This year is our 30th year of coming to the "Chip". My husband (my boyfriend back then),took me to the island on our first vacation together 30 years ago!! Thanks for the memories! Go Chip!!!

We are here celebrating my 30th birthday. The weather was perfect (for this time of year) Can't wait to bring our kids back someday. This is my 3rd time here and I'd come back again and again.

We are here to celebrate our first anniversary. We were married in Marquette Park last year with only our children and immediate family there to celebrate our day. It was beautiful. We stayed at the Chippewa last year as it's location and staff make it the most relaxing place we have ever been. We plan to return every year to celebrate our love.

A beautiful get-away for my husband and me.

The Chippewa Hotel made our time on Mackinac Island complete. You couldn't find a friendlier place to stay. The staff made us feel welcome and treated us like friends, although we had just met. We hope to return to this place of forgotten time again soon. And when we do, the Chippewa Hotel will be our home-away-from-home!

My wife and I decided to stay on the island this year and we chose the Chippewa. We didn’t know what to expect as we were just going off of the pictures on the web site. When we arrived we were extremely happy with the service and the room. The Chippewa takes pride in keeping their hotel clean! We stayed for 4 nights and will be staying there for years to come.

We have stayed many times at the Chip due to my band, The Forbes Brothers, performing at the Mackinac Music Festival. We are always a hassle. Thanks to all of you, and particularly Nadine, for helping us out with complex arrangements and making our stay a pleasure.

Want to let you know that my sister and I enjoyed our stay in your "grand" hotel. Service was wonderful and friendly. Thank you so much for everything.

We were up on the island for one day during our honeymoon, and i have to give kudos to your pink pony patio staff! we were traveling with our dog and they were most helpful getting us a wonderful meal for a take out for us to enjoy at the marina just down the way. The chicken blt melt hit the spot and so delicious, thank you again for such a professional and helpful staff!

We just returned from our annual trip to The Chippewa. By far the BEST place to stay on the island. We love the rooms, and the view is "one of a kind" Kim, the bartender outside at the Pink Pony is the best too!! We ate in the dining room one of the nights. Absolutely delicious especially the morel mushroom beef tips with orzo. Great service too. Can't wait to come back next year. Worth every dime to stay at such a unique hotel right here in Michigan.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the nice time I had. Archie is one of the nicest guys on the island and he always has a smile and my bags in the room so quickly. He is the island's hardest worker. How many bags can he put on that bike? It was another great trip to the Chippewa!

We were at your hotel Monday and had lunch at the harbor view restaurant...we felt we had wondered into a peaceful delicious place out of the hustle of the shops!

We are spending this fall weekend @ the Chippewa and so happy that we selected this hotel. Our suite is on the 3rd floor, corner room with both front street view and a wonderful balcony overlooking the lake. We will make this trip again next year and will stay once again at the Chippewa. Great staff and super clean rooms.

We visited Mackinac Island for the first time this year and ate at the Pink Pony under the yellow umbrellas. It was lovely. I can't wait to go back. Michigan is incredible beautiful. I love your webcam. I visit the Island frequently using the webcam. I hope you keep it always.

From the moment we arrived the staff treated us like old friends. Our room was recently renovated and was very comfortable. Great views of the harbor and the city. You cannot find a better location. Can't wait for our next visit.

What a great hotel!!! We have been staying at the Chippewa Hotel for over 25 years! It just keeps getting better. We love it. Even though we bought a cottage 30 minutes away we still have to come and spend the night once every summer. Noone in the family would ever want to miss this magical island and this fabulous hotel. The suites are very spacious, well decorated and very clean. There is no better place to sit and have lunch or a cocktail on the water than on the porch behind The Chip. It is the best location on the island and there is no better place to stay than The Chippewa Hotel.

A beautiful three days at the Chippawa. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Thanks for everything. Hope to return soon. Is the live camera up all winter? Hope so!

We just got back from staying at the Chippawa for 3 days and I can't say enough about the wonderful time we had. The staff was outstanding in that they couldn't do enough in making our stay every thing we wanted it to be. The room was beautiful. We were on the 3rd floor street side and we loved it. This was our 7th stay and will continue to only book at the Chippawa. Thank you for great customer service.
