Can't say enough about our excellent experience with the State Park employees that manage the Mackinac Island Airport. We stayed at the Lake Bluff Condo's @ Stonecliff, which is a very convenient walk from MCD. Marianne O Neill and Fritz provided exceptional service.

Airport was closed, runway was tore up. Listened to AWOS, it didn't mention that it was closed. Called flight service before we left, they never mentioned that the airport was closed either. Can only assume, they didn't know. Didn't see anything here on AirNav about it closed either.

Landed after hours on Tuesday, so we secured the plane and came back Wednesday. Paid our landing & daily fees ($10.50 each) and went on our merry way. Thursday, on a predicted clear day, we left for the airport, bags in tow, ready to launch for home. Well, Mother Nature had different plans for us. Spent most of the day waiting and watching as fog rolled in and out from the east. Gave me a great opportunity to appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of the airport manager. He was friendly, kind, and as helpful as he could be, short of installing big fans to blow the fog away. I even think he did a little sundance for us. Kudos’ to him. Too bad they're closing down for the rest of the year, redoing an already beautiful airport.

I've flown in to MCD several times. This is pretty much a "do-it-yourself" airport. I think the airport is run by the State Park system and there is no FBO and there are no services available. The park service has someone there much of the time and they'll call a taxi for you, tell you where to park and give you a map. But they do not typically go out and help you tie down. The Facility is clean, friendly and typically there are only a few people there. If unattended the fee payment is by honor system. If you like to walk I suggest walking to town (about 20 minutes) as it is mostly downhill, then, if you are a bit tired, take the horse-drawn carriage back to the airport. I think the fee is around $7 per person, children less or free.

This is the worst FBO I've ever been to.... This is also the first comment I've posted; so my experience was bad enough that motivated me to comment. $42 for overnight and "No" service provided or offered. The attendant wasn't remotely friendly either day. Make sure you have fuel before you arrive because none is available here!!!!

Interesting airport to land in as it looks like it takes up most of the Island. It was a $12 landing fee for a single engine, there is no services at this airport however there is a computer for weather in the main building. We took a horse taxi to the main strip and then walked back to the airport. It was quite a walk (we have young kids) back, not as easy as I thought.

Mackinac Island is always a favorite stop when I am in the Midwest. With a little advance planning, it is a memorable layover. We came in with bicycles loaded in the back of our Bonanza & once we landed, had a really nice ride into town and the Grand Hotel. The landing fee is comparable to other resort airports & the staff at the airport is very friendly and helpful. No fuel, but just planned ahead and tankered in so it was not a problem. We were weathered in for a couple of extra days, but really don't mind with the first class facilities in town. There are many excellent hotels and B & B's on the island, but the Grand Hotel is the most memorable by far. Nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of regular life (cars, etc.). Worth the trip.

It was a very nice experience landing there. We were welcomed by a very nice person and given all the help we needed. We will always remember our visit to the Island.

Flew in recently on a day trip. What a beautiful island! FBO was helpful, gave us a great parking spot for the same day departure. Plan ahead if you don't feel like walking to town...

Fantastic place to visit... Just be ready for sticker shock. Landing fee and two nights tie down $68.00. Be sure to only pay the landing fee up front since we had to leave early and the tie-down is NON-REFUNDABLE.

Second time to this airport, now the FBO building is finished. I love the area and certainly the destination. Midwesterners seem so friendly. This FBO helped obtain a taxi, took our pictures for us and accommodated us every way possible.

This is my 2nd trip to MCD. Great facility even with a $21 landing fee. Super clean rest rooms and flight planning center at the ranger station on the airport. 2mi walk to town and rent bikes for a lap of the island. The horse taxi is slow and not much faster if any than walking so we walked. No fuel available at the island so be prepared.
