After trying for several years to get my husband to visit the island, we made our 1st trip in June, 2007. We spent 4 nights on the island and had a wonderful time. The words to describe the island are beautiful and relaxing. In fact, we enjoyed our stay so much we came back in October, 2007 and again in June, 2008. Hopefully, one year in the near future, we will be able to experience winter on the island. We Love Mackinac Island!!!

We were married underneath the mackinaw bridge on the Arnold cruise line. It was the sunset cruise. It was just the both of us and the official.. Nobody was expecting it but the cruise line.. They were awesome... We love this place and will come back for years to come.. It always will be a special place for us...

We visited for out 1st anniversity 22 years ago. Now our 23rd anniversity and our family had a great time.
Can someone tell me if there are any Ogden families that are or were a part of your Island.
My moms friend Jim that is 95 years old seems to believe he has a cousin/family who lives or lived on the Island.

We are thinking about making the trip to the island and wonder if we could take our dog. Any thoughts?

Wow! What a great time we had on the Island. It was so much fun. I had a revelation this trip, after all the years coming up, I finally had my eyes open. I found that you cannot buy a person love, I never felt like I fit in with my family growing up, I always felt like I was on the outside looking in. Then I discovered that my sister loved Mackinac as much as I did,so,we started going together ever year. I finally relize this year that I was being used. It really hurts to relize that and that our trips will never happen again, together anyways. I plan to return and make my own special memories, and take this lesson I have learned and turn it over to God and be thankful for my blessings, and be thankful that he opened my eyes to never be hurt like that again. So, next year I'll be back a better and stronger person. So,thank you again my wonderful Island. You, I know will never break my heart!

My husband and I recently visited Mackinac Island. We stayed four nights and had a wonderful time. I feel like this is good amount of time to stay. We were able to hike and see many sights, take tours, and visit many places. I highly suggest taking the Haunts of Mackinac tour. It is a walking tour visiting various haunted locations throughtout the island. It is quite interesting. While your walking you just hope that YOUR hotel which you are staying is not on the tour!

I began going to the Island in 1949. Earned my first dollar as a kid giving tours to passengers from the North and South American Cruise Ships. Met my wife there in Summer of '60. Still married after 47 years and five grown children. Whole family loves Mackinac and all its memories. At one time (when I was a kid), I lived in a home now known as "Brigadoon". I was actually in the very first Lilac Day Parade and have a picture to prove it.
Mackinac will be part of us forever.
