SUMMER ON MACKINAC ISLAND, MICHIGAN including two nights at the Grand Hotel
MACKINAC ISLAND—The Jewel of the Great Lakes! What is it about an island and vacations? It’s a natural fit! You have an Island where the automobile never replaced the horse and carriage. You have a Revolutionary era Fort where the British couldn’t permanently replace 
Americans. You have Fudge Stores where box recipes never replaced our 19th Century recipes. You have a place to leave your routine, discover the rhythm of waves and horse-clops and a place that getting to is half the fun.

This resort is romantic, magical, timeless and unforgettable. Create a dream vacation that will eternally linger in your thoughts. Most people likely know about one specific Mackinac Island porch: the world’s longest porch at the Grand Hotel. The 660-foot porch is so massive you can spot it easily from the water as you approach the Island on the ferry. Two years ago, the famed porch received some updates that included new flooring and masonry work on the pillar bases – so even if you’ve explored before, you should explore it again!
