I’ve been twice, stayed at the Mission Point resort both times. Plenty to do at the resort and on the island as well. It doesn’t get dark during the summer until around 10pm so you’ll have plenty of time for dinner plans and other stuff. 2 days in the island is plenty and 3 days would be my absolute max. Visit both mission point and the grand hotel. the grand had multiple restaurants and bars, be sure to go during the day because they have a dress code at night. Grab a drink at the round island bar and grill across from mission point. We ate dinner at 1852 Grill room, nice atmosphere and drinks.

Also take the ferry from St. Ignace instead of Mackinac City, it is far less crowded which makes it easier to get to and from the island.

Made pretty much the same trip this past June. Flew into Grand Rapids and out of MKE. We drove straight to Mackinac Island and stayed 2 nights at mission point resort. I highly recommend exploring the UP. Pictured rocks national lakeshore, the Soo locks in Sault St. Marie, and Kitch-iti-kipi natural spring are great places to stop in the UP.

When you go to Mackinac, take the shepplers ferry from St. Ignace rather than Mackinac City it is far less crowded. After the UP we stayed in an Airbnb in Algoma (few miles outside of door county) on Lake Michigan. We spent one day in Green Bay touring Lambeau which was worth it. Door County also has a lot to offer.

I my opinion you get more bang for your buck at Mission point and you can visit the Grand Hotel and hit all their restaurants and bars, and of course their front porch.

Staying on the west side of the island in Captain Cook.

Horseshoe Bend is a must, I also recommend eating at either Birdhouse or Big John’s BBQ in Page. Lunch at one and supper at the other if you have time. Before you get out of Flagstaff heading to Page, make sure your tank is full and you have plenty of road snacks because there is not much between those two destinations.

Snow Canyon State park in St. George also has some pretty nice hikes.

I would make the majority of your dining reservations for breakfast. It sucks having to get up early to make it, but then you have the rest of your day and you don’t have to worry about planning around a character lunch or supper.

If you rent a stroller I recommend Kingdom Strollers in Orlando. ( Not directly affiliated w/ Disney) They deliver the stroller to the front lobby of your hotel the day you get there and come get it the day you leave, it was super easy.

If you have kids and decide to go to the arcade, bring. Your. Wallet.

I’ll will definitely look into Block island and maybe Martha’s, seems like we could possibly just make a day trip to Nantucket now.

We stayed in the town and rode the free shuttle everyday to the mountain, we were only about a 5 minute walk to the bus stop. They have a ski valet and lockers at the base of the mountain so there is no need to carry your stuff back and forth each day on the shuttle. Just about all the dining options are walking distance within the town, same goes for the grocery store. I have never stayed in the village but some family that were with us have and they said they preferred the town.
