The Magic of Mackinac Island, Michigan

Mackinac Island in Michigan felt like a theme park:
- a short ferry ride is required to get there
- there are no cars allowed only horses and their carriages
- you'll find the majestic Mackinac Island Grand Hotel rivaling the imaginary Grand Budapest Hotel
- there are endless mounds of fudge (check out Joann's Fudge) and good restaurants
- you can take a dip in the crystal clear waters #unsalted with an arch rock to hike up to
You get the idea. This place has a rich history, and although this is not a travel guide per se, we do share what an action-packed day would look like on the island!

  • I lived on Mackinac Island for a season....back in 1994? It was wild and weird and awesome.....Biked everywhere, worked in a T-shirt shop...our employer paid for our housing on the island. A bunch of us lived in a house. It was fun. I love going to the Mission Point Resort and going to the bar and sitting and looking out at the lake while having pizza and a drink....There was a fancy restaurant in the middle of the island...and the biking trails throughout were so cool! Lots of history and I may have encountered a ghost!!!

    If anyone out there is a Christopher Reeves fan, please watch Somewhere in Time. Great movie if you don't mind crying at times. It was filmed at the Grand hotel..

    I visited from Australia and loved this place the Grand Hotel is bloody expensive where they filmed SOMEWHERE IN TIME featuring Christopher Reeve And Jane Seymour in 1980.
  • I've worked there 2 seasons going back this year. I've been all over but the island is my favorite place in the US. So beautiful and relaxing.
  • As a cinematographer this video was really well done🙌 great broll and good editing
  • My mother's family are all from here and these two are doing a commendable job showing it off. Thanks..

    The biggest thing about Mackinaw Island is the history and you didn't share any of that. The beautiful old homes (some from the 18th century), the fort, the churches, the gardens and the interior of the island. If you stay until the last ferry back at 11pm you'll have several hours with out all the tourist and its so beautiful after dark. Not to mention coming back on the ferry with all the lights lit on the Mackinaw bridge. I spent a season working at the Grand Hotel in the late 90's. It's not like Disney! Its a real place that many people call home. I encourage everyone to come and experience it for themselves. Bring your own bike, get away from the docks and explore. Mackinaw city is tiny and fantastic too.

    I love this video, Mackinac Island is absolutely lovely.. I only have one small issues with some slight misinformation.. Mackinac Island is actually located within Lake Huron which is actually the 2nd largest lake in the world.
  • @rogered5499
    Went to the island each year as a child. Great memories. The fort is very cool. The bike ride around the island is best. Thanks
  • This is awesome. We’re from Michigan (Constantine) and I’ve never been to Mackinac Island. Sad but now exciting!
