Review:

Mackinac Island is one of the top resort communities in the Great Lakes, located on a 3.8-square-mile island of the same name. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the island served as one of the top resort areas of the Gilded Age, attracting prestigious visitors to its Victorian-era hotels and attractions. Today, it maintains a car-free policy to retain its historic atmosphere, showcasing a plethora of historic buildings preserved from its turn-of-the-century days, including the stunning Victorian Grand Hotel. Couples can stroll through attractions like Fort Mackinac, which preserves military structures connected to 18th-century British and American troops, or enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities at delightful Mackinac Island State Park. Independent boutiques, candy stores, and delicious dining destinations line the island's main business districts.
