Great tips for visiting Mackinaw on a budget! The Lake House on Plover Lane is just a 45 minute drive from the ferry. So you can make this a day trip!
π°β¨ Think Mackinac Island has to cost an arm and a leg? Think again!
This family discovered that a day on the island with kids can be fun, memorable... and budget-friendly!
π€ They hopped a discounted ferry (with a ride under the Mighty Mac!)
π₯Ύ Explored scenic shoreline trails and hiked to Arch Rock
π₯ͺ Enjoyed a picnic lunch with unbeatable views
π° Splurged a little on a visit to Fort Mackinac (totally worth it for the reenactments and stunning overlooks!)
π¦ And capped it off with a well-earned ice cream stop downtown
Proof that Mackinac Island magic doesnβt have to come with a hefty price tag.
