Oh FUDGE!

Just returned from Mackinaw Island, what a fantastic place to be! surrounded by blue water, picturesque views, and plenty of things to do, whether you want to relax, engage in water activities like parasailing, boating, or if you want to shop, spend time with family, or just walk the bike laden streets(no cars) and take in all the views of the Island. The 15 minute boat ride was beautiful from Mackinaw City, hotel was great, very affordable, and I have to say, the fudge was delicious. Can anyone tell me why Mackinaw is known for Fudge? I remember this as a little girl, and they still give you the little knife with a big chunk of Fudge, FUDGE retailers EVERYWHERE. I indulged a little! If you looking to host a big event, the Grand Hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful. I met a Bride, who decided to get married on the beach, then celebrate with just a small group on the Island. They had their first dance at a local bar/restaurant right near the Grand Hotel, GREAT FOOD and drinks! The Grand Hotel is also host to the movie "Somewhere In Time", with the late Christopher Reeves. What an experience touring the Hotel and seeing where this great movie was filmed. I can't say enough about Mackinaw, next time I hope to stay longer and go to the Fort next time and learn more about the History of the Island.

Take a look at the room that has the panaramic view. Imagine waking up with a view from there!
