Mackinac Island has some of the most beautiful Lilac bushes I've ever seen. Then last fall we went to see the color. Unfortunately we could only go for 1 night, which is NOT long enough to fully comprehend nor enjoy the full Grand Hotel experience. I would advise you to stay at LEAST two night, and preferably more. ENJOY! It's fabulous.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564993811758796530.post-44703482311978137952017-01-25T12:57:41.938-05:002017-01-25T12:57:41.938-05:00Finally!

We always go to the Grand, bike the perimeter of the island (7.5 miles) and go to the Pink Pony Restaurant for Smoked Whitefish Dip.

They told him they did not sell it but on his last night ~ you will LOOOOVE this~ they gave him a small wrapped package containing a butter plate :) And small world, one of our former neighbors is a chef there and has been for ages. His son, my daughter's HS friend, is now a chef there as well. They live there in the Summers and spend most of the winter here or in the dads hometown in Austria. The stories about the hotel and the island intrigue me as well.

You must! The Grand Hotel has been on my bucket list for over 30 years....someday.....sigh. Also, you should check out the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine.
