DISCOVER COTTAGES & HOMES ON MACKINAC ISLAND
It was in the late 1800s that cottages and homes started dotting the bluffs above the water, turning Mackinac Island into the popular summer destination that it still is today. From quaint cottages right near town to 5,000-square-foot homes on acre-plus lots, these historic places to stay make you feel like a Victorian-era vacationer in your own private paradise. You can enjoy all the activity of a summer day on Mackinac Island and then retire to your own home away from home, whether it’s a secluded cottage in the woods or a historic house high above the Straits of Mackinac.

Mackinac Island makes for a great location for marathon training. Enjoyed a beautiful morning run around the perimeter. Crazy humid at 97% but temps were cool and comfortable. Maybe someday I’ll run 26 miles here… someday 😉

Mackinac Island is all about riding in style. 🚲
And by style I mean you won’t find a car on the island. Horses, carriages, and bicycles are the main modes of transportation.
Most visitors opt to rent a bike to explore the historical island.
One of my favorite activities is biking the 8.2 mile trek around the island, Highway M-185. This is the only highway in the U.S. where vehicles are prohibited.
The highway immerses you in the vastness of Lake Huron, takes you below the Arch Rock, and offers one of the world’s largest suspension bridges, the Mackinac Bridge, as a backdrop. 🌉
To bike the island without stopping takes about 1 hour.
Bike rental stations are easy to find downtown after exiting the ferry.
Don’t forget to save this post for your future travel planning to Mackinac Island! 🤍

there’s something about going riding ✨ on mackinac island ✨ there’s so many places to see and do on the island, but biking the perimeter will always be so special to me. it’s the first thing i did when i went to mackinac for the first time 4 years ago. the blue water, the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks, the scenery — what’s not to love?! my heart is so happy the first time you fully get to see the shore for the first time! ☀️🚲

Five of Mackinac’s most prominent features are infused in our most popular design, The Icon.
Inspired by vintage postcards, we chose to carefully embed the island’s unique qualities into the design with sharp and symbolic clues.
At Threads of Mackinac we believe that a place as unique and timeless as Mackinac deserves equally original design.
I had so much fun being the wedding photographer for Emily + Ryan's Island House wedding on Mackinac!
