Mackinac Island, Michigan

Don’t think you have to travel to some faraway place if you want a relaxing island getaway. Mackinac Island may be small, but this beautiful island off the coast of the northern tip of Michigan is what we mean when we say underrated place! The charming island town is perfect for outdoorsy vacationers who love to spend their time swimming, biking, and boating.

Fun Fact: It’s home to one of the oldest lodgings in the state, the Island House Hotel.

Lovely Mackinac Island is a throwback to old-timey seaside recreation, from the candy-colored facades of its downtown shops to the grand front porch of the Victorian-era Grand Hotel. Mackinac is well known for its homemade fudge, available in every flavor you can think of. You can work off your sugar high with a round of golf, a bike ride along a coastal trail, or by exploring the limestone bluffs of Mackinac Island State Park.
