The Inn At Stonecliffe
General Information
Description of the Host Property:
Set two miles from the clamor of downtown, The Inn at Stonecliffe is your own private enclave on Mackinac — a joyful, effortless, lakeside luxury retreat, recently selected as one of TIME’s 2024 World's Greatest Places, where you’ll experience the very best of the island in a setting of striking natural beauty. The authentic character and ambiance here are easy yet energized, with plenty to do for everyone.
Description of the Training:
Gain invaluable skills and knowledge in the Food and Beverage department of a world-leading luxury hotel/resort through a J-1 hospitality internship or traineeship program at The Inn At Stonecliffe. During your program, you will receive training and mentorship from industry leaders in the F&B field as you rotate through different outlets on the property. This rotational program is designed to give you exposure to the international hospitality industry and give you the experience to excel in your career when you return to your home country.
ITN & ODYSSEY All-Inclusive Program:
Unlike most J-1 Program providers, a regional ITN representative will guide you through a streamlined registration process, thanks to ITN and ODYSSEY’s all-inclusive approach. ITN and ODYSSEY will be on hand to provide you with the very best personalized service from the time that you arrive in the United States until your departure from the United States upon completion of your program.
Description of the Location:
Mackinac Island is America’s summer place: a mix of Victorian charm; sweet chocolate fudge; rich history and pure northern Michigan magic. It’s a place for meandering hikes to a historic fort, a bike ride along a scenic coast, yacht races, ferry boat rides and fun. Unforgettable sunsets, awe-inspiring sunrises and extraordinary nightlife befit their ranking as a Top 10 U.S. Island by TripAdvisor and USA Today.
