Lakeside Spa...ugh. Where do I start?…read more My friend and I scheduled two massages there while on vacation on Mackinac Island. We both had Jacob the masseuse - a young fellow who we both question if he was even a licensed massage therapist. The massage was such a light touch - it didn't help relieve any muscle tension for either of us and he skipped "massaging" my friend's arms all together! You have a significant upcharge for any "service" other than the basic light to medium massage (it was never even near medium) that included deep tissue, reflexology, anything. We both said to the front desk girl it was the worst massage we ever had! Girl shows mild interest and says "Oh? Sorry." My friend asked "Isn't there anything you can do for us?" Girl: "Umm...I could give you 10% off or you could come back tomorrow." Us: "No thanks. We'll take the 10% off." So, the $186 (!!) massage - $155 for 60 minutes plus a 20% mandatory gratuity add-on was minorly discounted. Gee....thanks. How about you get a qualified massage therapist instead? They count on one and done customers as they know they're not returning to this vacation island. Lakeside Spa has no right calling themselves a spa - absolutely terrible. They literally ripped us off as we didn't get what we paid for. Stay away from this place!

The bathroom is in the middle and the front room has a bed, a sitting area and a small kitchenette. The room was comfy and fairly quiet for being in the middle of everything. The front desk was wonderful! I needed to get a scooter and they let me park it in the lobby overnight. When we planned the trip we wanted to stay at the Grand but after staying here we were so glad we were in town with so much to do and we could still go up and see the Grand.

My husband has gifted me with many a massage. I was extremely disappointed with their "couples…read moremassage". It was basically a glorified rubdown. There was no "real massaging" involved. I asked for a shoulder and foot massage and she was basically rubbing my skin around with oil. In addition, we could hear a conversation happening outside. The entire hour we were waiting for the massage part to take place, but it did not happen. We were extremely disappointed considering how we paid over $200 for someone to rub our skin . We expected much better service.

My wife booked the appointment for a couples massage and when we visited the island we followed the…read moreinstructions to arrive 15 minutes early. Once inside we were led to one set of doors to the locker room where we were told ahead of time was co-ed but since there were also changing rooms inside it wasn't too unpleasant of an experience. Then we filled out a questionnaire and from there we waited until we were greeted by two masseuse, Mindy and Chelsea, which having read reviews on other sites I assume are the two who take the couples. The room we were led to was large and the beds were side by side; it was also right near the lobby/reception area so there were plenty of noises either coming from that area or from the shops above but that did not detract from the experience. Once we assumed the position, they returned and turned down the lights and proceeded with the massage. Personally, because I sit down for work alot I specified that i was looking for neck and back massage as well as calves and feet. I had assumed that they would spend the hour massaging only those spots but she also ended up massaging other areas that I didn't think needed it; every knot was taken care of and when the hour was up both my wife and I were very stressfree. P.S. my wife and I had gotten a couples massage during our honeymoon elsewhere and while I had no complaints af the time, I realized that the masseuse here do not talk which contributes to the relaxation and was also a big positive to this review.

If I could give this ZERO stars I would. I went in for an appointment with Riley Bartlett for a…read morehaircut and brought lots of references for what I wanted, showing her before we started the appointment and had my phone out with the references showing for the duration of the appointment. She completely disregarded what I wanted and BUTCHERED my hair, cutting it about 5 inches shorter in the front than what I wanted, which is saying a lot since I requested a pixie cut. I left in tears. So, if you feel like severe disappointment and months of growing out your hair, make sure you ask for Riley, who will happily f*ck it up, no questions asked.

Wonderful baristas who genuinely make you feel welcome! The shop was very clean and offered a wide…read morevariety of options, mainly divided between coffee and tea drinks, as well as smoothies and smoothie bowls. The baristas took the time to ask what we were looking for and helped us navigate the menu. The drinks were delicious, and we enjoyed them enough to stop by two days in a row while visiting Mackinaw City. On the first day, I ordered the Coconut Paradise. It was a little heavy on the ice, likely because it was made by a barista in training, but the flavor was well balanced. It was smooth, not too tart, and not overly sweet. The only downside was that the extra ice made it difficult to stir. We also tried the Bird's Eye Latte, which was sweet, flavorful, and very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who prefers sweeter coffee drinks. On our second visit, I ordered the Maple Harvest Cold Brew. Since it uses real maple syrup, it took some effort to mix thoroughly, and I didn't notice the maple flavor until after stirring. We also tried the matcha, which wasn't sweet and had the rich, earthy green tea flavor that I love. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great drink in Mackinaw City!
