MACKINAC ISLAND 🚲🌸

There’s truly nowhere else in Michigan like Mackinac Island. No cars, waterfront views, historic charm, bike rides around the island, and some of the prettiest summer scenery in the state — it’s one of the most unique Michigan vacation spots you can experience. Actually fun fact it used to be a national park!!

Here are some of my favorite places to stay, eat, and things to do on Mackinac Island👇

🏡 Favorite Places to Stay
• Historic hotels with waterfront views
• Cozy inns near downtown
• Charming stays perfect for a summer getaway
You can also stay off the island too!

🍴 Favorite Places to Eat
• Fudge shops you can’t skip
• Waterfront restaurants with island views
• Breakfast + coffee spots before exploring

🌊 Favorite Things to Do
• Bike the island shoreline
• Visit Arch Rock
• Explore Fort Mackinac - do the tea room experience!
• Watch the sunset by the water
• Shop downtown Mackinac Island

Mackinac Island feels like stepping into another world and it’s easily one of the best summer destinations in Michigan. Save this post for your next Northern Michigan trip and follow for more Michigan travel guides and hidden gems ✨
