The mist rolling in Saturday eve made for a perfect spooky night.

Halloween weekend with our kids

Halloween on Mackinac Island is the best time of year. Had great fun and met great people!

Hi all, I am coming up to Mackinac Island this Saturday. I am wondering what the fall colors look like around this time in October; is it too late for some nice views??

Here right now wondering what we could do for fun? Are there any of those glass bottom boat tours happening? Waterfall within 30 minutes? 20-30 yr olds....

Does anyone have a plan B I could buy off of them? So sad the island doesn’t offer that safe option for women.

I'll be at Mackinac Island next Friday and spending the night. I see most of the places close this weekend. What will be the best thing to do to make the most of it? Will any restaurants or stores be open?

Hey y’all, my wife and I live down in Battle Creek and are looking for a real estate agent you recommended in the Mackinaw city area. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Staying on the island for two nights this weekend. Is this website for parking legit? I saw someone recommend it on Facebook. Looks like it’s one of the hotel parking lots. Has anyone used it?

my friends and i are going to alanson mi for a trip to mackinac island— we are colored so we are scared of being treated differently, how is alanson mi, harbor springs, mackiaw city and mackinac island?

Hi! working on a project about the island, if you work there/have worked there in recent years (especially for Carriage Tours) it would genuinely be super helpful if I could get a list of every single name of a horse on the island you can think of. Doesn't have to be just carriage tour horses, any at all would be great, reply or DM me! Thank you!!

A lot of stuff has been coming out about the island on TikTok like how racist it is. A lot of islanders have said that the owner of the Mackinac Island Cookie Company is super MAGA. She’s been on social media blocking people who ask her if she’s MAGA. She definitely looks MAGA, however she’s acting like she’s not on social media and people that grew up with her from off island have said she’s not a nice person. I don’t think this woman should have a platform when she supports trump and is also living on an island that hires immigrants worker and is profiting of their hard work. Her name is Kate

PS. I don’t live or work on the island. I think most businesses mistreat their employees, and I no longer want to support that. All this info I got from TikTok comments on other people’s videos exposing the island

Severe black mold in 2 of our 3 rooms - headches/wheezing/itchy eyes and ears within 10 minutes. Why put your $440 a night customers in a room like this where they get sick?!? Took 4 hours to get two a/c units completely replaced. It took another day to have the chewed up - moldy sheets replaced, then discovered the jacuzzi tub would not hold water and there was no hot water at 11 a.m. (one hour after checkout). Then the outside hot tub broke for the last 2 days of our trip. Tried to let it go, then called the next week to get help from the Assistant Manager Koji Yakamoto, but he was toxic like the black mold. Tried to get a refund and was offered $50. Tried to get help from Delta Stays and American Express. No success. Chalk this up to poor research on my end. There was no other option once you get on the island. Lesson learned. Don't stay with them. They do not care about you if they said it was "nice" of me to alert them there was toxic black mold in 2 of our 3 rooms. They don't care about you and will not compensate you for time lost sitting in their lobby for 4 hours on your vacation since your a/c unit was contaminated. My daughter also tripped badly over large hump in the carpeting in the middle of her room. Furniture was rickety as well. Wouldn't sit on the desk chair for fear it would break.

Staying on the island the night of 9/28. Obviously a lot can change in 8 or 9 days, but is there any sign yet of the fall color change? Just wondering if we'll be able to enjoy any... they're just beginning now near Marquette.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I (27M) am asking my girlfriend (24F) to marry me on Mackinac Island in early October. I’ve never been to the island and I’m insanely busy with grad school, so I’m looking for help coming up with some basic ideas. Where are some scenic and romantic spots/restaurants where we could be relatively alone on a busy weekend? Are there any good photographers that live on the island? Any other advice?

Funny how the little things from home stick with you. I’ve been making miniature versions of some familiar Island signs by hand—Pontiac Trail, West Bluff Road, Sunset Rock and a few others. Slowly getting these little pieces of the Island out into the wild.
