Update 4/20/26
Due to the icy conditions, it is unknown at this time if Shepler's Ferry out of Mackinaw City will be operational by Friday, 4/25. If it is not operational, the contingency plan is to use Arnold Transit's ferry out of St. Ignace to get to the island. Feel free to call or text Emily or Jackson with questions. We will continue to update our website as we know more.
Travel & Hotel
How do I get there?
Guests within driving distance will park at a ferry dock in either Mackinaw City or St. Ignace. Pellston Regional Airport (PLN) is located 16 miles South of Mackinaw City and is the closest commercial airport to the island. From the ferry dock, you will take a 16-18 minute ferry ride across the Straits of Mackinac to get to the Island.
What ferry service should I use?
Please plan to use Shepler's ferry, as they have a complimentary carriage service for guests staying at the Inn at Stonecliffe. Tickets for the ferry can be purchased on their website: www.sheplersferry.com.
You can also view the ferry schedule at this link: https://www.sheplersferry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2026_Ferry-Schedule_LETTER.pdf.
If you do not plan to stay on the island, please note that the last ferry to Mackinaw City will leave the island at 6 PM.
How does my luggage get there?
Your luggage will be tagged and you will receive a claim ticket upon arrival to Shepler's Dock on the mainland. Once you reach the island, a Stonecliffe Dock Porter will send it to the resort. At check-in, you will give your luggage claim ticket to the front desk.
