Just 3 weeks until Grand Hotel opens for the 2019 Season! What are you most excited about? 🙌☀️
My excitement starts with the trip up there, then the ferry ride. The excitement builds as I walk up to the hotel. Just seeing it makes me about as happy as I can be, but then I see the staff. The wonderful, kind, friendly, sweet, loving family like people that I have truly fell in love with ❤️. I can't wait to see them all again 😍
Excited for grand pecan ball! Lol
Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at Grand Hotel this year (PS - we got married on Mackinac Island & tried to celebrate every anniversary at the Grand)
Lilac Festival!! It will be our first stay at The Grand 🤩
My visits to the Grand Hotel lift my spirit and fill my soul...my happy place.💕 I love going back every year to visit with friends and meet new people from around the world! My dream came true when I worked at the Grand Hotel flower shop the summer of 2013. It was such an awesome experience to live on the island and wake up to the clip-clop of the horses every morning and hearing taps played every night at 10 p.m. Most enjoyable is walking everywhere and having the chance to say hello to greet all of the people passing by. I'll return once again this Spring to absorb the beauty of the island as the lilacs bloom and their fragrance fills the air. Oh, what a beautiful special place to be, surrounded by nature and to imagine how grand life was from... somewhere in another time! You really should go there for a visit!!!⚘
As I can only dream, as I have for at least 30 or 40 yrs, just to see all the posts and people having a wonderful time <3
After dinner coffee and music in the Parlor.
We gift our married children the Celebrate Your Marriage retreat for their anniversary. All three attend with their spouses and my husband and I along with our cousin and spouse. It is an annual tradition and great blessing for our family. Grand Hotel is beautifully appointed for this romantic get away!
When we stayed there it was 100.00 a night. What is it now? 500.00
Our annual Celebrate your Marriage retreat! This will be our 12th year!!
To see what room I will get for my 11 day stay.
Lilac festival! I’ll be there in June!
Grand Hotel is on my bucket list. Do you ever have specials on stays? Where would I learn about these if you do? Thanks and here’s to your best season ever!
Can’t wait to show my girls what my parents showed me when I was a kiddo. I’m so excited.
Seeing the beautiful blue sky & fresh Michigan air while hiking the trails & walking around the island perimeter. Mackinac Island is the epitome of perfect summer memories!
Seeing the beautiful flowers, restaurants
See you In August! Reservations made ✅
This was the happiest day of my life our Silver Anniversary!! At the Grand Hotel
Will you be offering a special room rate for July ?My friend and I want to come up. It would be her first time, my third.
Looking forward to our 36 season! ❤️
I would love to be able to stay when we are there in August for my 50th birthday celebration, but not sure its in the budget.
Visiting the island this year with our granddaughter!! We are there in the fall every year. This year we are going in August. 😊❤ Can't wait!!!😍
The five course dinners, decorated rooms, the ambience, the view. What's not to love! Been coming for 30 years to the k of c conventions! I've been pregnant and I've brought grandkids to the Grand.
Just the wonder of it all. It is our summer cottage. All our happy memories come flooding back as we take that first step back into Grand Hotel.💞💕
Just walking back into the parlor.❤️
