We’re headed up this week ! We watched many videos to prepare and your video by far is the most informative! Thank you !
Glad it was helpful! Have fun!
My favorite go to place!! In 1994, I went there with my brother and sister-in-law to help them with laundry and cleaning rooms and ironing. My brother did carpentry work and sister in law managed it for the summer. She also did the cooking. We also painted a couple rooms. I was paid for what I call my working vacation. I had Tuesdays off and went and sat on the rocks with binoculars and watched ships go by. The name of the B&B is Bayview. It is on the water and has its own dock. We stayed in the basement. We were there 7 weeks. The owner is a good friend of my brother and sister-in-law. My sister in law also did the decorating and made all the bedding and draperies and bathroom shower curtains. I did not want to come home!! Wish I could afford to live there!!! 10:45
One evening we went to the Mission resort and watched a movie and had popcorn.
Love those stories. We currently work with someone who live there as well. The islanders sure love their home there.
Beautiful Views
Yes they are
Lots of Fun
It is we love Mackinac Island
I lived there for 2 summers. Met my husband in 1975 through Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.
How wonderful!
Thanks for the great video. I’m going there in a few weeks for the first time. I love Somewhere in Time.
You'll have a great time
Wonderful video! I live in lansing and my whole life I have wanted to stay on the island.
Thanks!
Very nice I’m happy to see this video I want to vizit this island for my daughter birthday she’s 4 years very surprised for her to make her happy..it’s very good pleace but too expensive to’ higher price for my family..it’s first time to vizit
If she loves horses this is certainly a great place to take her.
Chuckwagon is the locals favorite.
We LOVE it!
How cute are you two?! Great video, very informative! I’m headed there in September.
Have fun! There are very few places like it in the world.
@@livingphase2 I'd love to live there and get stuck on the island in the winter. :)
this place brings back so many memories for me, i went with our Choctaw Seniors here in Oklahoma.
we did the carriage ride and toured the Grand Hotel, i remember the Butterfly house.
Mackinac Island is absolutely the best!
Sometimes I order fudge online!! It is delicious!!!!!
It's way too addictive.
Great video folks glad i found you.... again thank you .
Thanks much. Hope you get to visit the island!
Do you mind sharing the name of the B&B where you stayed?
@richardjenkins4513
On this last trip, we didn't stay to be in a B&B. We actually stayed with a motel we like in St. Ignace. It's not fancy but it is inexpensive and has a great view. Here's a link. bayviewlakefront.com/
Wonderful video and your chemistry. I have been there last week
Thanks. Hope you had a great time!
The Island can also be reached by airplane. True, you can't drive a motorized vehicle there. But there is an ambulance and firetruck on the island. Mackinac Island is magical!!
All correct. Thanks for watching.
Great video and information. I haven't been to the Island in years ... maybe we'll make it there this fall. Thank you for sharing.
You should! However after September it gets very quiet there.
Personally, I don't like Mackinaw Island fudge, I'm a Frankenmuth fudge girl all the way. LOL my 18-year-old son watched this with me and asked to take him again. Last time we went for his 5th grade field trip. He said now that I am older that actually looks like a fun place to visit, before he says he was too young to appreciate it.
There’s a lot of truth to that. We jokingly say it is Disneyland for adults. And we love Frankenmuth too.
The Woods was the kids Playroom for the Stonecliff home.. not a hunting lodge.
Thanks for the clarification.

Any suggestions for getting breakfast as soon as we get off the ferry? We were thinking of getting up early, catching the ferry as early as possible (how early does it begin its run?) and having our breakfast on the island. We’d appreciate any suggestions.
Our favorite place for breakfast on the island is the Chuck wagon. Tiny little place but we love the food the service and it's a bit unique. Here's a link. Enjoy! chuckwagononmackinac.com/
@@livingphase2 thank you !
The st. Ignace ferry terminal always has less traffic and shorter lines. Skip the mackinac city side.
Agree. It is much easier. St. Ignace is also a great town to visit.
How far was your downtown hotel from the Main Street fudge shops?
Right there almost in the same building. There's also many shops lining the main street so it's not a far walk to find fudge there. 😋
What month did you go to Mackinac Island? We want to go in April, what do you think?
April will be lovely. But if you wait until May, more of the lilacs will be in bloom, and those are incredible. We’ve been there several times throughout various summer months and have a great time no matter when we go. Before you go, Google lilacs in bloom on Mackinac, and see when they’re expected to bloom for that year.
@@livingphase2 Thank you for your prompt reply.
No Thanks
