DOWNTOWN DINING
The timeless appeal of Mackinac Island usually refers to horse-drawn carriage tours, tandem bicycle rides, Victorian architecture and historic Fort Mackinac. But let’s not forget classic comfort food! When you need a cup of coffee, have a craving for pizza or pancakes, or just want to join the locals for a burger and a beer, you’ll find it downtown – right in the middle of all the action and often with a stunning view. On Mackinac Island, some tastes never go out of style!

Fun fact: There are 13 fudge shops on Mackinac, and they're making so much fudge that the island imports 10 tons of sugar per week!

All checked in to missionpointresort for 4th of July Weekend on mackinacisle — Michigan’s Crown Jewel and one of our favorite places ever 💙 This is Brooks’ first trip to the island!
Yesterday he got to experience many “firsts” so I’ll highlight a few:
- rode the sheplersferry over to the island which is the only way you can get to the island
- hitched a ride on a horse-drawn taxi to missionpointresort (no cars or any form of motorized transportation is allowed on the island)
- played on iconic The Great Lawn and took in the amazing views of Lake Huron while lounging on the Adirondack chairs
Day 2, we’re ready for ya 😍

Sunsets and solitude found ☀️ I take a deep exhale and feel the wave take my cares away every time I look at this photo.
The Lilac Festival on Mackinac Island was a few weeks ago, but the lilacs were still in full bloom and just as fragrant. 💟🤍☮️
