This grand home is one of the oldest Victorian homes on Mackinac Island and has been designated a historic landmark. Cloghaun (pronounced CLAH HAAN)was built in 1884 by the present owner's great-grandparents, Bridget and Thomas Donnelly, who emigrated from Ireland to escape the famine. Cloghaun has been preserved by their descendants and now offers guests a tranquil, romantic interlude from the demands of everyday life. Eleven guestrooms (nine with private bath) individually designed and decorated with antiques from the late 1800's evokes a feeling of casual elegance. One room has a private entrance. Experience the intimate surroundings and enjoy your dream getaway. A deluxe continental breakfast is served in the breakfast room 8:00 - 10:00 a.m., and tea is served in the afternoon. The Kelton Library has many fine old classics for you to curl up and enjoy, or if you wish, watch television or a video from the assortment provided. The front porch is a favorite gathering spot to sit and listen to the clip clopping of the horses going by. This is where yesterday meets today with grace. Ideally located on Market Street, Cloghaun is within walking distance to the Island's three ferryboat docks, as well as most of the Island's finest restaurants and attractions.

May 20, 2011
We live in N. Indiana and I have always wanted to visit the island. This was our first visit, and I am hoping we will have more in the future. It was wonderful to get away. The Innkeepers were very hospitable and we certainly would want to stay at the Cloghaun again.
2.2 out of 5Nice Rooms but Watch Your Bags!
July 10, 2009
The Cloghaun does not have a dock porter. We were not informed of this by them when the reservations were made. Upon arrival at the island, our bags were lost. The staff made a minimal attempt to locate the bags. We had to spend the day searching for our bags by physically going to each lodging facility. With only two days on the island, this was not how we planned our vacation time in a premium cost structure venue. The staff was not very attentive and their presence was lacking.
2.6 out of 5A nice place
August 22, 2008
Overall a very nice place with a fantastic porch. Great place to converse with people. Food was more like a continental style breakfast. I suspect I got one of the less attractive rooms. The staff surprised me with a lack of attention.

Innkeeper was very gracious with an incident of broken glass. They were ver friendly and accessible. The B&B was beautiful with original family furnishings and heirlooms which created a yesteryear atmosphere. This was our second visit, and we would definitely consider another.

5 out of 5Charming and amazing
June 29, 2008
We have been to the island several times as our children work there during the summer while going to college. This was the first time staying at the Cloghaun as we have stayed at other B & B's on the island. But they might as well put our names on the door as this will be our permanent spot to stay anytime we travel to the island. The island is magical in itself, but the feel at the Cloghaun makes it all the more real. Marti was so enjoyable and lovely and made us feel like it was "our" home as well. We stayed in Margaret's Room and it was so quaint and personable. From the antiques & quilts, wind blown lace curtains, historical pictures to hearing Taps a night from the Fort or the clip clop of the ocassional taxi. This place is truly a dream. If you go to the island, make sure to stay here to complete you experience. It's well worth the price to not only have the island experience but the experience of being part of all of it by staying here. I promise you won't be disapointed!
