This is a place that is like a complete getaway from the busy city life. People can come to this island for the day, or they can come to stay at the hotel for as long as they like.
First, you have to check out Fort Mackinac. This was a fort that was built back in 1780, and was closed from being a fort in 1895. The reason why it has been closed from being a fort is because it no longer has any strategic purpose for being a fort. It has now been resorted and is able to be viewed.
If you will be saying on Mackinac Island, then you will have to stay at the Grand Hotel, which is the only hotel on the island. However, this is fine for most people since this hotel has a great Victorian Style structure. The hotel was opened in 1887 and became well known after being shown in the 1980′s film, Somewhere in Time.
