Experiences for Young-in-Age and Young-at-Heart

Different Times, Different Things to Do

For the fun of it, for the adventure of it.

A Grand vacation starts with a Grand experience. Explore all the things to do on Mackinac Island by foot, bike, or horse. Golf on The Jewel, play pickleball, and head to the lawn for croquet. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of our celebrated gardens. Go to wine and whiskey tastings, and enjoy a traditional Afternoon Tea, complete with live music.

Grand Hotel. Where whatever you do is up to you.
