Experience Gracious Island Life Conde Nast, the New York Times, Midwest Living and other magazines have all praised this bed & breakfast for its hospitality, accurate historic restoration and proximity to the heart of the island's major attractions.
Built in 1877 by Louis Metivier, this private home was converted to an Inn shortly after it celebrated its centennial year. You'll enjoy the gourmet continental breakfasts served in the living room with its wood-burning stove almost as much as the pleasant guest rooms.
Market Street, one of the island's primary thoroughfares, is just beyond the Inn's lovely gardens and picket fence. You'll hear the clop-clop of horses as vintage carriages pass by. A short walk will take you to Main Street's shops and eateries.
As you would expect, the water surrounding the island is a major attraction here. Boating, sailing, kayaking and fishing are popular. But landlubbers will find plenty of things to do!
Twenty-two delightful guest rooms are appointed with antiques and period reproductions fitting the French and English decor. There are private baths and modern amenities.
Diane Neyer, the Inn's owner, is an avid gardener. Her gardens are always beautiful. Each year, she creates a unique color scheme to delight the human visitors as well as the butterflies.
Few visitors can resist the interesting shops on the island, the Grand Hotel, Fort Mackinac, or the allure of Mackinac Island fudge.
You'll have to leave your car on the mainland. But don't fret. Horse-drawn carriages and bicycles will help you see the island's six square miles that are rich in history and scenery.
