Lovely Video...was working here for 6 months in 2008 at the Grand Hotel..and after 6 years you refreshed my memories on the island...Thank you for the lovely video Jeff
Oh, how I miss the island. My husband and I call it our playground. We had so much fun there. We went there twice every summer. Now, we are living a new adventure in Phoenix, AZ. God created such a beautiful earth 🙏
Wonderful cinematography I spent many summers on Mackinaw, playing in the bars. As a musician,, I never saw the wonderful views from the Grand Hotel, Thank's for posting.
Such a great pleasure to visit this classic retreat via splendid photography....it captures the sense of relaxation throughout...the family's luxurious suite not to be believed....truly this beautiful family is enjoying the good life....the director of this film was quite self effacing as there appeared to be no footage of him...too busy tending to his family and his art.......
I have traveled all over the country, including Mackinac Island. This gem is easily one of, if not the most beautiful place in the country. If Mackinac Island is not on your bucket list, it should be.
Nice video, I was there the week prior for the 4th celebration that they do every year, we probably passed each other as we checked out when you checked in. The weather then was unusually warm for the Island, perfect like your video showed. The Grand is simply fabulous, staff the best and the food is top notch. Look forward to going again soon.
Jeff, I was on the Mackinac Island the same time you recorded this, it was a very hot summer.. I also shot some footage which I will treasure the rest of my life. Thanks to my cousin Anna Marie and her husband Jack from Kalamazoo. Thanks for putting this on UA-cam, though it makes me homesick....
Hey, my wife and I are planning our ten year anniversary. We are watching videos of all sorts of places from Macinac to Door. Co, Bayfield, Grand Marais, Houghton, etc. I rarely lift a finger and put in the effort to write a message, but we think your video is so amazing we wanted to take the time to both thank and praise you. Please know that your video is the best we've seen after hours of browsing... Josh & Jill
YO TRABAJE AQUI EL EL GRAND HOTEL, CON MI HERMANITO ANGELIN. EN EL AÑO 1998. ES HERMOSO ESTE GRANDIOSO LUGAR. GRACIAS DIOS MIO POR HABERME PERMITIDO CONOCER POR ALLA.
Richard, you are too, too kind. And I'm not so self-effacing that I didn't sneak into one shot (the mirror in the kids' suite). Good time had by all, including the filmmaker!
What a beautiful reminder that summer is on its way. It is April 18th and snowing right now. Your video gives me hope that we will see nice weather again. My husband and I stay at the Grand Hotel four times a year. It is like home to us. Do you recall the name of the suite you were in? What an awesome room!
I miss going there. I remember My mom and I Walking the whole Island which Is 7.8 miles Long. And let's just say We got back at the Hotel at around 2am. Yes 2am. Never again. I don't know about My mom but I know that If I do walk it again it'll be When the sun is rising.
I have been there three times and still haven't seen half of it. No homeless panhandlers and no attitudes from the locals. Police have always been courteous and helpful. It is always the first place that I tell people (in Ohio)to go.
I would love to take one of the days I was there and go around dressed as a lady from the turn of the 20th century; dining at the Grand Hotel, wandering across the lawn with my parasol, maybe even (gasp) riding a bicycle, lol.
Beautiful videos. I have a question/favor to ask. My niece has worked on the island for four years. This will be her last summer. She loves it there! Is there any way I could download any of these videos to burn to a CD for her birthday at the end of July? She would be absolutely thrilled to have this type of keepsake of her time spent on the island. I particularly like the perfect day on the island video and the movie clips video. :) please let me know. Thanks for sharing these. It is beautiful.
Brenda Lantini I suggest you try software such as Wondershare AllMyTube (there are lots of others) for downloading a video you like. Once you have the file on your computer you can burn a copy onto a CD (or make a DVD) for your niece.
It really DOES look like a perfect day on Mackinac Island!! Grand Hotel is our home away from Home! :) If I may ask... Which guest suite was featured in this video? Thanks so much for sharing this experience. You did an amazing job on the video!
That was great. I have always wanted to go there and now I feel like I have. Thanks for sharing.
I view this often and remember my visits to Mackinac Island. Thank you so much for posting.
What a beautiful video! I am visiting the island next week for the very first time. I can't wait!
I've been to the Island four times and never saw many of the places you captured...thank you. It was wonderful.

It seems like when ever I visit the weather is less than ideal but it is still a beautiful sight glad you captured on a dry sunny day.

I love this video! We got married on Mackinac Island & go back every year. Just this year we finally vlogged it. Beautiful video!
I love this island! I live in Minnesota now but I want to visit the island again real soon!
Thank you for this, it was like being there all over again. Lovely

Beautiful video! I feel like I was there. I love the sound of NO CARS!

I'll contact you privately to see what we can do for your niece
and for those people who say Michigan is a very dangerous state check again
Is the photograph of Elise there?
Nice job.
No shots of Ft. Mackinaw?
It really DOES look like a perfect day on Mackinac Island!! Grand Hotel is our home away from Home! :) If I may ask... Which guest suite was featured in this video? Thanks so much for sharing this experience. You did an amazing job on the video!

It was called the Grand Suite, which was true enough. It's at the far Western end of the second floor.
Great video even better than the one I filmed of the island
what room was that? the Presidential suite?
ME PREGUNTO QUE HABRA SIDO DE EL?
