Why Mackinac Island?

Mackinac Island is a one-of-a-kind destination offering unique attractions, delicious cuisine, charming shops, and stunning views. But it’s much more than that. With cars banned for over a century, this is a place where horses take the lead, and life moves at a relaxed pace. The streets echo with the gentle clip-clop of carriage wheels, and the only sound you’ll hear is the soft ring of a bicycle bell. Steeped in history, Mackinac Island is home to ancient forts and timeless rock formations, creating an atmosphere where it feels like time has stood still. Here, you can savor the sweet fragrance of lilacs and indulge in the simple pleasure of world-famous fudge.
