Where to stay in Mackinac Island
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.
Hubbard's Annex
Step back in time while wandering the peaceful streets of Hubbard's Annex on Mackinac Island. This exclusive historic district showcases well-preserved Victorian cottages and summer homes from the late 1800s. No motorised vehicles disrupt the tranquil atmosphere of this upscale residential area. The neighborhood's tree-lined paths offer a perfect escape from tourist crowds. Crystal-clear Lake Huron peeks through gaps in the mature maples while historic wooden porches creak gently in the breeze. Just a short walk connects you to downtown's fudge shops and island attractions.
