The resort is small, it can only hold 32 guests in total, but that makes it the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and really decompress, relax, and spend quality time with family.

Located on Mackinac Island, this is another destination that you can only get to by boat. Once you are on the island-  cars are prohibited. To this day!

You will arrive at the hotel via horse-drawn carriage, and from there you will experience a more traditional style vacation, which given how busy today’s world is, is not at all a bad thing.
