Metivier Inn: Bed & Breakfast on Mackinac Island, Michigan

05/25/2026

Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than the start of summer. It is a day of gratitude, reflection, and remembrance.

This weekend, we honor the sacrifices that make moments of peace, travel, family, and freedom possible. ❤️

This deserves a reshare!

There seems to be a lot of talk on the Island about price increases, please know that we haven't raised prices on our grilled hot dogs, burgers or even our famous BBQ Chicken Dinner for three straight years including this year. You can still get a half-chicken (that's one of everything a chicken has two of) coleslaw, a dinner roll and even a little pat of butter for $16.50 and enjoy it while enjoying a view of The Bridge and Straits. That's the best deal on the Island and in many other places!!!

How exciting! Yet another fantastic activity on Mackinac Island — be sure to check out the Cannonball Oasis Concert Series. I wish I could make it to the June 13th, July 24th, and July 25th shows. I recently saw Jerry Sprague perform, and he was absolutely phenomenal — bringing back some wonderful college memories. And Brian Van Ark? Simply fantastic, as always. He never disappoints!
