- Come along as we ride the ferry to Mackinac Island, Michigan where we stay at the historic Grand Hotel. We will give you a hotel room tour and show you the spectacular views from the world's longest porch. We also take a ride on a horse drawn carriage on our journey through town to the Grand.
I've included some photos of the inside of the hotel at the end of the video. Video filmed June 2016

Welcome to Rae-Anntics: • Best of RAE-ANNtics!
This is by far the best CZcams video of MackinacIsland I've seen yet.
Thank you Donnell! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Check out my channel because I have a couple other ones from Mackinac Island you might like as well. We went on an awesome bike ride!!!
Wow!! Dude!! That was awesome!! My wife and I were in awe
Brilliant video. Thank you for giving me a flavour of a hotel and island I so much want to visit when I make my next trip across the pond from the UK.
Movie, Somewhare In Time, produced there.
Going in October from Southwestern Ontario on a Charter bus.... Can't wait!
Oh that will be a beautiful time of year with the fall color! Have a great trip Scott!!!
As I rewatch this video for the umpteen millionth time, I think my favorite thing about it is watching you go to the island for the first time and experiencing your excitement with you! My first trip of the year will be here very soon.
Thank you for watching & watching! I had waiting my whole life to go!!! You are lucky to be so close.
Best video yet of the grand hotel
Royce Johnson Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for posting! I get there as often as I can.
You are lucky! I am wishing for a trip back one day.
No it's not
Wow awsome job thanks for sharing best video yet
Thanks so much Portia!
Your welcome
You pay extra for a view. And by extra I mean EXTRA 😂 great video!❤️
Dear Rae-Ann, Peace & joy. You my dear have blessed me with your visit to Grand Hotel. Why, because you came with the eyes of a child and the heart of a woman who was fulfilling her dream of visiting. Not everyone who visits Mackinac Island 'gets it'. You did, and for that I am grateful. The room you were in was originally meant for luggage storage and the servants who accompanied the wealthy... they didn't get the 'view' rooms, and the rooms were by nature smaller and not as elegant. I had to laugh at your reaction to the bathroom... not too many years ago (as time is marked on the Island) you probably would have been right and there wouldn't have been a shower... heck there wouldn't have even been a bathroom in the room... you would have found a chamber pot under you bed and a key to the community bath down the hall. That's what I love about Mackinac Island, it is so easy to embrace history (but with the modern 'necessities' we have all come to enjoy). As far as the décor, come back during the 'closing of the Grand Hotel' The rules are more relaxed (dress code especially) and any rooms that are NOT rented are left unlocked... and you are encouraged to explore them all, I especially like that the morning of the closing, all the rooms are empty and though the beds aren't made... you are free to wander until they kick you out until spring. I am a farm wife from a rural area of Michigan, and I watch my $$s but I have NEVER felt that I have over paid for the experience I receive at Grand Hotel... it is my hope that you too feel the same way. Next time let me know when you are going to be there... we can do the history tour together. Thank you for a mid winter break from the snow blowing outdoors to Michigan's Summer Place and one of our National Treasures. *U* Kathleen
Thank you, Kathleen, for giving us a little bit of history into the rooms. The winter closing you speak of sounds really interesting! I would love to take a peek in all of the rooms. I absolutely loved every single minute of my time on Mackinac Island and my time at the Grand Hotel. I loved the views from the porch, the carriage rides, shops, quaint cottages and especially riding bikes around the island. I agree with you, it is worth every single penny! Thank you for your kindness.
Very nice personable video. Will be over on the island in May.
Oh, have an awesome trip! That will be a beautiful time to visit. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Rae-Ann.....hoping to get some drone footage while over there if it's allowed.
I hope I can visit next summer
I would have asked for a room change if I was unhappy with the room. Thank you.
Very Nice video!
Thank you Nancy!
I know somebody that moved to Hawaii and open a fudge shop, they went bust & came back to Michigan. Too many carb counters there.
Your soooo pretty!!!
One of my favorite places to go as a boy
Nice video
Thanks for watching Royce!
Wow, she's really pretty.
What is the song?!
How much was the room ? And how long is the ferry ride ?
Hi Jenny. The rates are different depending on the view you have, but they run approx. $360 and up I believe. The ferry ride is about 15 minutes and so beautiful!!!
I would love to go but I'm not paying that amount of money for the tacky rooms . two nights for about £2200 .from the uk.
You are right! It is expensive but it was a place I've always wanted to go. I loved sitting on the porch and sipping on a nice cold beverage! LOL
pj bradley the grand hotel is a 130 years old what do want and or what were you expecting.
M J your can tour it for 10$
I think they ran out of wallpaper & used Christmas wrapping paper on the walls.
It really does! But I will say it has a certain charm and history to it even though the colors aren't what you see in today's hotels. I just wasn't expecting that much red and green when I opened the door! Thanks for watching.

Laquinta Chappell butthurt much
I've stayed in many different rooms, but this is definitely the worst. The light pink/green and the ivory, blue schemes are far better.
Oh I would love to see the ivory and blue room. Sounds lovely!!

Laquinta Chappell check out her whole channel! It's filled with great stuff!
Bitch, I would travel with you any day, you’re hilarious! Xoxo❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! LOL
That's an ugly room. That wall paper was giving me a headache And a bad view I'd ask for another room. 🙄I'm sure they paid a pretty penny
