Grand Hotel – Mackinac Island
Grand Hotel is situated on the southwestern bluff of Mackinac Island overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and – in the distance – the Mackinac Bridge. From the front porch – the world’s largest at 660 feet – guests can look down at the well-kept gardens and relax and enjoy the ambiance of “somewhere in time”. It is no wonder that hollywood has chosen to come here more than once. Indeed, like a classic movie, Grand Hotel is larger that life. The Victorian elegance has been kept intact. Each room at Grand Hotel has been tastefully decorated by New York designer Carleton Varney with its own special character and style. Breakfast and dinner daily are included in the Grand Hotel room rate, and are served in the Main Dining Room. Visit their website and familiarize yourself with the elegance and the history of this magnificent hotel. A stay on Mackinac Island at Grand Hotel is a unique experience and guests inevitably depart to the mainland with memories that last a lifetime.

SOME COMMENTS FROM THE MACKINAC ISLAND PAGE ON FACEBOOK – 6/17/10
Just this past May, taking advantage of the Pure Michigan special at the Grand and expecting a room overlooking the stables. Instead got a room overlooking the Lake with 2 comfy chairs in front of a picture window. I would have been happy to stay in that room in front of that window with THAT VIEW the whole vacation!
My husband and I visited the Grand two Labor Days ago. The buffet on Sunday was “out of this world”. But the best part was we took a carriage ride there, and crossed the porch into the hotel. Once in the hotel, I asked an empoyee about paying to be on the porch. She graciously told me, “You are here now” not once, but twice, before I got the message. Thank you for the Grand staff for being SO grand!
My favorite memory happened several years ago. I was having high tea in the lobby of the Grand Hotel in my evening gown with the musicians playing the theme from “Somewhere in Time.” I remember thinking “Pinch me! I must be dreaming!”
My favorite memory: My family joined me in the spring of 2007 – 08 during the policy conference. I taught the sunrise yoga program for the conference attendees on the porch of the Grand Hotel. The gorgeous view, immaculate landscaping, and the sound of morning birds provided a peaceful backdrop for our annual practice.
I worked at the Grand Hotel as a lifeguard and lived in the poolhouse during the summer of 1998. It was one of the best summers of my life. I met my husband at the Grand – he worked on the greens crew. And now we live happily ever after, watching Somewhere in Time on each wedding anniversary.

One of the best vacations we had. We had a suite which was fantastic over looking the bridge, pool, and garden. Want to go back soon.
Spent Mother’s Day weekend there and we will be back in 2 weeks. I love the High Tea, breakfast, friendly staff, beautiful view and seeing familar faces year after year in the shops, salon, staff. I also love eating at the Woods and Gate House. Best whitefish!!! and love their new menu.
Stayed there for the Win Some Women conference. We got to sleep in the Somewhere in Time suite! Super awesome and great food there!!
My three-day stay last week was wonderful… the stress of life melts away like ice sculptures in the sun.
A stay at Grand Hotel is always the highlight of the summer. It’s wonderful. Mackinac Island is such a magical place.
Love it. Stayed there well over a dozen times. Never been disappointed. The ambiance that surrounds the grand, is simply GRAND. Dressing up for dinner is what makes it so unique (and for those of you who do not know, it is the only time you have to be dressed up). Most of us simple folks don’t do that often enough. And believe it or not, most … people who stay at the grand are simple folks. Not stuffy or stuck up. Just looking for an “old” and “unique” place to get away. It’s not the only great place on the island as we have stayed at several other B&B’s, we even rented a home there last summer for a month. It’s all good. The island has so many great places to explore. But the grand always lives up to it’s name, GRAND.
Horseback riding, swimming, tennis, bike riding, movie watching, cards, dancing, dining, drinking, sitting on the worlds most beautiful porch, sight seeing at the fort, carriage ride, golf, duck pin bowling, ping pong, etc, etc, etc, one of the most beautiful places on earth!
My parents and I use to spend each summer month at the Grand Hotel. During the filming of Somewhere In Time, I was given a handful of quarters, and strict instructions to meet my parents at the dinner hall on time. The elevators took forever, so I decided to take the stairs down to the lower lobby to the game room. When I was descending the stairs at full speed, I came around a corner and BOOM! I ran smack dab into a man. As I was apologizing, he helped me pick up my quarters that had scattered everywhere. I stood up to thank the man, and I was thanking Christopher Reeve himself.

nonlaburger never disappoints and today was no exception. The hot chicken quesadilla (today’s special), double cheeseburger #nonlaway, with the milkshake of the day, Mackinac Island Fudge and Nonla way fries was the perfect post gym treat.
Also, make sure you pay via toasttab before you leave if you order using the QR code. 🤦🏻♀️

Caught a vessel to an island to play some music, slept in a lovely bed in a beautiful inn, took a picture in the sun with the author of shade, dined ala pinkponymi , visited a butterfly’s house, caught another vessel to the other vessel. It rocked. Where am I?

Our third summer to Mackinac Island - my happy place!
We rode bikes around the island with no worries which is so wonderful (and stress-free), saw dogs (and dogs) and horses, and people of all ages enjoying the slower pace and lack of city noise.
We met people from Bosnia, Hungary, Los Angeles, and Michigan 🤣. We all agreed there’s no place like MI.

Northern Michigan nights just hit differently 🤍
We road tripped up north today and will be here for the next week. It’s just the 5 of us tonight and tomorrow, but then tomorrow night we will be with family the rest of the week. This is such a special week that I look forward to all year long.
Do you have any yearly trips that are dear to your heart?

🌺Our last family vacation together with all the boys under one roof. We always knew this time would come but it certainly doesn’t make it any easier. I know this isn’t our last family vacation but it’s our last vacation where I have a certainty and control over our son’s schedules. For the most part, planning a trip has always been so simple. Now there will be variables where we have to take into consideration college breaks, high school breaks, sports schedules, work and internship schedules, or gasp, maybe Nate, our now college student, will choose to go on spring break with his friends rather than us! 😳
For now that’s all I can and will do is relish every moment of our last family trip together “under one roof. I’ll make sure to take lots of pictures (even though they complain but thank me later😊) and squeeze in a lot of hugs!
🌺If you’ve been following my stories you know we are heading to Mackinac Island, Michigan and staying grandhotelmichigan. {Swipe to see} I’d love your recommendations if you’ve been!!!

With feels like temps topping 100°F today, it's hard to believe that I was wearing a light sweater and a jacket only a couple of weeks ago while we were on Mackinac Island.
I wore this for our last day on the island. Slacks and a T-shirt sweater is truly my go-to vintage style. It's comfortable, chic, and simple. I played around with the color on this to see if I could imitate 1930s Kodachrome. Not too bad, I'd say.
Top: true vintage 1950s sweater
Slacks: Rayon-linen blend made by me from a 1939 pattern
Shoes: diegos_espadrilles
Purse: true vintage 1940s Corde
Necklace: luxulite
