The Mackinac Bridge

The Mackinac Bridge connects Michigan’s Lower Peninsula with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. You may have driven across this magnificent structure, but have you ever traveled under the bridge on the water?  The views from the bridge while crossing are truly wonderful, but the view from below is where one realizes the magnificent size and height of the structure and its unique architectural design.

Harbour View Inn

Immerse yourself in the ​historic​ charm that has made Mackinac Island famous when you stay at the Harbour View Inn – a hotel with a fascinating history of its own.

Located only a short walk from the best attractions on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, yet away from the bustling traffic of downtown, this relaxing hotel complex offers the perfect romantic retreat. Wander to the nearby docks and watch yachts sail into the tranquil harbor or take a short stroll along historic streets where the finest shops and restaurants on Mackinac Island await.

Harbour View Inn is comprised of four unique buildings designed for a variety of styles and tastes. Our main building, Chateau LaFramboise, is furnished in an elegant blend of French and Victorian decor. This home was once owned by Madame Magdelaine LaFramboise, an inspirational woman who defied the odds to become one of the most successful fur traders in the territory during the 19th Century.The Carriage House and Guest house buildings are located behind Chateau LaFramboise and separated by a secluded, beautifully landscaped courtyard.Both decorated in a cottage theme.Our fourth building, The Cottage at the Harbour View Inn, was added to our property in 2010 and is located to the west of the other three buildings.Still a part of the Harbour View Inn, sitting street side, offering its own wrap around front porch and intimate breakfast/common area.

All accommodations offer views of the magnificent harbor, exquisitely manicured courtyard or nearby historic buildings.

Mackinac Island Lilac Festival – Photos

Celebrating Mackinac’s lilac collection began in 1949 after a conversation with Evangilene “Ling” Horn and Nurse Stella King who encouraged the then teen and today’s Mackinac Island Carriage Tours veterinarian Dr. Bill Chambers to have a parade on Lilac Sunday. The idea was to bring people to the Island to enjoy a great horse drawn parade amidst the lovely lilacs that fragrance the Island in June. What began as a one day event called the Mackinac Island Lilac Day has blossomed into a ten day festival.
