Downtown Mackinac Island

Step back in time on car-free City centre Mackinac Island, where Victorian charm meets lakeside beauty. Horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past historic buildings while the aroma of fresh fudge fills the air. Fort Mackinac stands proudly on the bluff as visitors explore cobblestone streets. The island's unique ban on motor vehicles since 1898 creates a peaceful 19th-century atmosphere. Travellers can wander through boutiques, enjoy waterfront views, or visit landmarks like Biddle House. When evening falls, gas lamps illuminate the streets for romantic strolls.

"The rooms are cozy and comfortable. The view of the courtyard is beautiful with all the different flowers in bloom. The continental breakfast is a great bonus with fresh baked goods offered. The staff are welcoming and very helpful. The walls of our room felt a little on the thin side because we could hear the couple next door talking on and off throughout the night. All in all, it was a good stay."
