My wife and I have come to Mackinac Island around May 23 to celebrate our anniversary for over the past 20 years! 2026 will be our 56th anniversary! We have stayed at several different hotels, although we have not yet stayed at the Lilac Tree Suites, as of yet!
Trisha
Wow, congratulations on such a wonderful tradition — and an early congratulations on your upcoming 56th anniversary in 2026! Visiting Mackinac Island sounds like the perfect way to celebrate. The Lilac Tree Suites would make such a lovely spot for an anniversary getaway — maybe 2026 will be the year to try it! Good luck!

Grew up in Cheboygan,MI and love going to the island but have never stayed.
Trisha
Cheboygan is such a great spot. Staying overnight really does feel like a whole new experience and everything slows down once the day visitors leave. Wishing you luck in the giveaway, maybe this will be the perfect chance for your first overnight!
