Pre-Arrival Tips

Traveling to the island is a different experience. We are here to help! Visit our How to Get Here page for more details. If you have specific questions please reach out directly to info@theinnatstonecliffe.com.   

How do I get ferry tickets?
Your chariot awaits at Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry! Click here to purchase tickets in advance to receive $2 off an adult ticket, or $1 off a child ticket. If you would rather purchase tickets in person at the dock, mention you are a Stonecliffe guest to receive the same discount. Please arrive to the Shepler's dock ahead of your planned departure time in order to get your luggage tagged with our Inn at Stonecliffe luggage tags. When the ferry arrives to Mackinac Island, our Inn at Stonecliffe Dock Porter will be there to assist you with your luggage and get you on a complimentary carriage up to Stonecliffe! 

How do I get from the airport to the ferry?
Shuttles from Pellston Airport to the Shepler's Ferry Dock can be arranged through www.mackinawshuttle.com

How do I get to The Inn at Stonecliffe from Downtown?
Our designated Stonecliffe shuttle is a service offered by Mackinac Island Carriage tours and is a fixed-route shuttle that goes from Shepler's Ferry Dock downtown to Stonecliffe. Our Stonecliffe Carriages leave from Shepler's Ferry Dock and out front of our Mansion, leaving every hour on the hour beginning at 7am until 7pm. Please let us know your arrival time and we will arrange for a dock porter to help with handling your luggage upon your arrival to the Mackinac Island ferry dock. Transportation from downtown to our resort is a tranquil 2 mile journey. Please plan accordingly with transportation to and from our property. Contact Mackinac Island Carriage Tours to arrange a taxi with them directly at (906) 847-3323. You are welcome to bring your own personal pedal bikes to our property which must be rode up at your leisure. 

Head to our General Store to rent a bicycle at our onsite Bike Pavilion. Adult, youth kid bikes, and burleys are available at a first come first serve basis. Adult bike rentals are $60 for half day and $90 for full day. Then, explore two miles out to all the spots downtown or explore the quiet biking trails that lead to some of the most scenic spots on the island. 

Horse-drawn taxi service is provided by Mackinac Island Carriage tours 24 hours a day during the peak summer season. Something unique about Mackinac Island is that taxis cannot be “hailed” and you must call the taxi dispatch office or our concierge to schedule your pickup. For any questions about taxis please contact our concierge at info@theinnatstonecliffe.com for assistance.
