The beloved Michigan hotel up for the honor is the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island! 

Mackinac Island holds a special place in my heart. I used to vacation there as a kid and was completely obsessed with watching fudge being made, riding the ferry over, and exploring Fort Michilimackinac.

Plus, you can't beat the views of Lake Huron! As an adult, I love popping into the Pink Pony for a cocktail or grabbing a bite at Horn’s Gaslight Bar. It's no surprise to me that Mackinac Island has been voted the No. 1 summer vacation destination in the U.S.

However, there’s one Mackinac experience I’ve yet to cross off my bucket list—staying at the Grand Hotel. Someday! Here's USA Today's praise for the spectacular historic resort:

Located on a small island off Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this summer resort predates the automobile boom. You won't find any cars on Mackinac Island, as horse-drawn carriages are the primary mode of transportation. Individually designed accommodations at the Grand Hotel include guest rooms and expansive suites, and activity offerings are abundant. The Victorian-era hotel also claims the world's longest porch.
