About 3561 Eckel Drive
A treasured family retreat, a rare rental opportunity, and a special piece of Mackinac Island, this 3-bedroom condominium at Stonecliffe has been cherished by the same family since its construction. Perched high on Mackinac Island’s scenic North West Bluff, Oakwood offers a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees, with beautiful sunset views across the Straits of Mackinac and toward the Mackinac Bridge. The residence features dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, a fireplace, generous living and gathering spaces, and a private balcony overlooking the water. One of the most compelling aspects of Oakwood ownership is the ability to offer the residence for nightly rentals during the permitted season, providing an uncommon combination of personal enjoyment and income-producing potential. Another aspect is its remarkable flexibility. The residence can be enjoyed or rented as a complete 3-bedroom condominium, or configured as a 2-bedroom residence with a separate 1-bedroom lock-off. This allows an owner to accommodate different group sizes, create additional privacy for guests. Rentals are not permitted from October 15 through May 15, when occupancy is limited to homeowners and association winterization procedures apply. Each residence also includes a dedicated storage unit in the heated basement and one garage space, ideal for bicycles, snowmobiles and island gear. Just a short walk from The Inn at Stonecliffe and The Woods Restaurant, owners are positioned near one of Mackinac Island’s most beautifully reimagined destinations, with public dining, expansive grounds, the Straits Lawn and other resort offerings nearby. The Woods golf course is also within walking distance. Whether enjoyed as a private summer retreat, multigenerational gathering place or seasonal vacation rental, this is a distinctive opportunity to begin your own chapter in a property that has been part of one family’s Mackinac Island story from the very beginning.
