All Things Horses
A narrated, horse-drawn carriage tour is the iconic Mackinac Island activity. Yet, it’s just one of many equine activities to enjoy in a land that has been car-free forever. You can go horseback riding on a guided or unguided tour, rent a private carriage for an intimate ride, even drive your own horse and buggy! Or you can visit with the horses in the barn and find a new friend. Plus, Mackinac Island is home to two museums showcasing antique carriages.

"Onward and Upward"

December is often crunch-time. I have to finish all the accounting from the season, get the rates ready for the upcoming season, organize my files so that I am ready to start fresh in 2022. I have to get in any room-blocks we need for the season before reservations explode in January, and make sure the website is up to date and ready for the traffic. Its always a little bit scary this time of year - what will next season bring? Will I be ready? But amazingly, no matter how ready-or-not I am, it all happens smootly and every season is great.
