Mackinaw Island, Michigan


One of the most beautiful and clean places I have been in the United States in years is Mackinaw Island. Truly magical. No cars, only horse and carriages and bikes.

I stayed at The Grand Hotel, one of the oldest hotels in the United States. It has the largest covered porch in the world. Carlton Varney decorated the hotel and it is very whimsical and colorful. There are endless, wonderful historical treasures on every wall and such history !!

This is a perfect place for a destination wedding, birthday celebration or group trip.

The water is as blue as the Caribbean, not as warm though! Lots of outdoor activities, biking, tennis golf.
