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!

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. 💟🤍☮️

3 Images: Mackinac Island's Mission Point Resort. Here is a first installment of numerous views both inside and out at night on a cool crisp evening. I've never stayed here, but it looks nice inside. Taken during recent prior visit. One view is of one of the fireplace area to the left after you walk in, leading to the long hallway to the right in the photo.. Another is the primary entrance to the lobby at night, I'm sure it's a welcoming sight for those who have stayed here. Third is the view one will typically see of main lobby area as soon as you walk into the entrance.

It’s Cassie! Your go-to resource on all things travel planning. I’m here with a must-do on Mackinac Island.
Mackinac Island is the most unique travel destination in Michigan. You take a ferry through Lake Huron to get to the island. There are no cars. No chain hotels. The island is all about local businesses and old-world hospitality.
At the center of old-world hospitality is the Grand Hotel. The Grand Hotel is all about cherished traditions - afternoon tea in the parlor, croquet and bocce in the tea garden, and dressing up for dinner and nightly dancing. 🎶
While it may not be in your budget to stay at the hotel, you can purchase $10 admission to explore the hotel and grounds.
We used this time to sit on the world’s longest front porch, enjoy the view, and sip on a cocktail. We browsed the shops, explored the parlor, and played yard games on the lawn.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone on the island who wants to explore the hotel but can’t afford a room with weekend rates starting at the following:
Double: $395 per person, per night
Single: $715 per night
Would you splurge for a room at this iconic hotel or opt for $10 admission? 🤍
