I was raised in Michigan and worked on the island 1981-1984 and I still miss it often. The island has changed in many ways. ( I last visited there in 2000 with my triplets--they fell in love with it instantly) Mackinac still maintains its special charm and magical feel, however. My parents and siblings still travel there annually and give me updates! As we travel and move, we talk to people everywhere about the island and how much we would recommend a visit there. We currently live in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, and we are sharing the special memories of Mackinac! I hope to return for a visit again soon! To the Andress family--hello from the Elliotts!

I worked at Mission Point Resort the summer of 2001 and absolutley loved it. Met my boyfriend there and so many close friends from all over the world. We are planning a reunion in Dublin during August, can't wait. Mackinac holds so many wonderful memories for me, it's the most magical place I have ever been and I can't wait to go back someday.

Laura T: If at all possible I recommend staying on the island. Check out the accomodations link and get the best price. Like Julie said - B&B's may have best rates. It's really hard to experience the entire island on a day visit. Be sure and bike around the island. We prefer St. Ignace over Mackinaw City. Check out B&B Boardwalk Inn & Budget Host Inn. I highly recommend Main Street Inn & Suites - if not now, maybe another time. The balcony views are wonderful!

To: Laura T,
There are so many nice places to stay on the Island. You cannot go wrong on any of them. If you are not wanting to spend a lot of money, a bed and breakfast would probably be your best bet. My favorite place is the Lakeview. check out thier web site to see if they have any rooms opened. If you want to stay in the city I highly recomend the Grandview Resorts. Just follow the link on this page in the left hand corner to "area links" then click on mackinaw city,then go to accommodations scrool down to Grandview Resorts. It is such a great little place. I have stayed all over in Mackinaw City and have found this place to be the best for you money. I also recommend eating at the Admerial's Table. Great prices and really good food. Let me know how your stay is. Have fun.

My fiancee and I will be traveling to the island the 2nd week in August. I have not yet made hotel reservations and was wondering if anyone could recommend one (or more :)!!. I really cannot afford to spend too much but want to have a memorable time. I was told to maybe stay in Mackinaw City and then just take the ferry over for the day. I havent been there in for over 10 years and this will be fiancee's first time. Any input on definite sights to see and things to do would be greatly appreciated!! I fell almost overwhelmed by this website!! Really Great!!

The last time I was on the island was 7 years ago on my Honeymoon. My wife and I had a blast. The carriage ride was great and the ghost stories were awesome. We plan to go back this fall. Its the best trip we ever had. Thanks.

We had such a good time on our visit this year. We love coming to Michigan. We are already planning our trip back next June. We are planning to stay at the Grand next time. We try different places every year. When we are done on the Island we go over to the City and stay there too. We love staying at the Grandview. What a darling little place. Grate rates and even greater views. Everyone should check this place out. You can have a fire on the beach at night,swim in thier heated pool under the stars,make smores and the list of fun things just goes on & on. We love the NORTH! and that's all there is to it. Everyone living up there should not take it for granted. Go see Mackinac Island and also stay in Mackinaw City. You will never regret it. We love you Sher, and are counting down the days till next time.
God Bless Michigan! Until next time, buh by!

My Mom and I enjoyed our yearly week visit during the 4th. We love the Island and it breaks our hearts when we have to leave. We always cry on the ferry ride back to the main land.
