4.2 · 13 reviewsWas a great place to live, friendly neighbors and great staff! The manager Tami is awesome and very helpful!
Tammi was knowledgeable and kind when she was touring the apartment. This place genuinely cares for its residents and strives to keep them comfortable. It is ideal for low income seniors that need an affordable apartment to rent, and for a reasonable extra cost food and housekeeping can be provided.
I have lived here since September 2025 and have had a very positive experience overall. I think this apartment complex is easy to prejudge from the outside, but once you actually tour or live here, you quickly realize how nice the apartments are and how friendly the community is. Tami, the office manager, is wonderful to work with. She is friendly, outgoing, and always willing to listen and help however she can. You can tell she works hard to create a welcoming and positive atmosphere for residents. Maintenance requests have always been handled quickly, and the maintenance staff is very kind…

I have lived here since September 2025 and have had a very positive experience overall. I think this apartment complex is easy to prejudge from the outside, but once you actually tour or live here, you quickly realize how nice the apartments are and how friendly the community is. Tami, the office manager, is wonderful to work with. She is friendly, outgoing, and always willing to listen and help however she can. You can tell she works hard to create a welcoming and positive atmosphere for residents. Maintenance requests have always been handled quickly, and the maintenance staff is very kind and professional. I genuinely feel respected and valued as a tenant, which is something that can be hard to find. While parts of the property could use some updates, the actual apartments themselves are very nice and comfortable. One unique feature is the on-site cafeteria that offers a meal plan with up to three meals a day, which is a great option for residents who want added convenience. The building is very quiet, and the community is respectful and friendly. Another major benefit is affordability, especially since utilities, internet, and cable are all included in the rent. The location is also a big plus. Being in the heart of Mackinaw City provides easy access to downtown and nearby trails. Summers are busy with tourism, while winters are much quieter, which creates a nice seasonal balance. I would highly recommend these apartments for singles or couples. With studio and one-bedroom options, it may not be ideal for families, but it is a great fit for individuals or couples looking for a comfortable and affordable place to live.

I love the staff and services however the hallways and carpets in 90% of the building is disgustingly stained.I didn't have a lot of options that were in my price range that offered the services I knew my mom would need.
My mother as well as my sister reside here together. I cannot tell you how professional, caring, loving and very passionate everybody is that works here at Pinecrest. Everybody looks out for one another, and aside from the havoc that Covid caused....they have taken every precaution necessary to keep the residents safe and covid free. I can't say enough about Heather, Leslie, Arlene, Georgette, and Natalie in the kitchen kicking butt to make sure everybody is fed a delicious dish. There are always activities to partake in, games, outtings, etc. Maybe not alot in the winter, but come spring and summer it definately picks up as far as outtings go. My mom and sister have been here for 6 years now, and have nothing but great things to say about living here. Touche' to the staff and the aides that make it happen!!! God bless you ALL!! Much love, Ellen
My mom lived at Pinecrest for just over a year. She had to have her apartment sprayed twice for bed bugs, she didn't have them in her apartment down state. My mom fell and broke her hip Christmas day, she ended up passing away. I tried donating her hospital bed, bedside commode, shower chair, dishes and silverware but the manager Heather Charbonneau said NO. I thought that some of the residents could have benefited from the donations but apparently she doesn't care if her residents need things to help make their life easier. The staff that McLaren provides are very caring and nice even though they are short staffed. My mom loved the aides that took care of her and they've told me they felt the same about her. The meals they serve leave little to be desired. Sometimes they looked good other times they serve sandwiches for dinner. I heard other people in the dining room ask "what the hell is this" when their dinner was brought to them. The dining room staff are very nice as well. Their website says they have a pool & hot tub they shut that down. When I was there cleaning out my moms apartment I heard they were going to charge me for a cleaning fee because I left things to be donated behind so I cleared everything out. Heather didn't even have the common decency to give her condolences for the loss of my mom. The only reason my mom lived there is because it's what she could afford without getting assistance from the state. I had a meeting with Katherine Munn Scinicropi one of the higher ups at Pinecrest along with Nick and Laura with McLaren Homecare and Hospice because I had concerns about the lack of staff on hand for the medical services I was told that there weren't enough extra charges coming in to warrant extra staff. When my mom moved in there were 2 aides for each floor during the day and 1 per floor at night now there is 1 aide per floor during the day plus some support staff and only 1 aide for both floors at night. I voiced my concerns about what would happen if god forbid there were a fire and I was told by Katherine that "it's an independent living facility and everyone should be able to get themselves out". I would not recommend this place
This is a wonderful facility. I have lived here 4 and one half years. The food is great and the care is super. I am very thankful that my LORD directed my family and friends to find this great facility. I have been through several medical needs and have had wonderful care.The staff is very helpful and supportive. Pinecrest is truly my home.
Mom loves it at Pinecrest Village at Mackinaw. She's enjoying it because there's lots of things for her to do. The people are pretty incredible. The staff goes over and above, and they try to keep everybody busy and happy. They have three or four different types of rooms, and they try to accommodate what you can afford. You can bring your stuff in and make it feel like your home. They are very accommodating. They have a mystery trip once a month, and every week they have a couple of places that they go to. Every Wednesday, they go shopping at WalMart. You can also sign up if you want a Red Hat luncheon.
