You don’t need much reason to visit Mackinac Island with the family. No cars, a state park to explore, lots of fun activities and beautiful scenery at every turn — and did I mention the fudge? The island is famous for it. But as the country celebrates its milestone semiquincentennial birthday, you can score great savings on this Michigan island.

The Inn at Stonecliffe, anchored by a recently renovated historic mansion, currently offers a 250th celebration package called Taste of Stonecliffe. This deal was designed to let guests commemorate the country’s birthday with a $250 food and beverage credit, along with two complimentary drinks upon arrival (the signature 1776 cocktail), curated especially for the country’s semiquincentennial.
The property, which sits along the shore of Lake Huron, offers rooms in the main mansion itself along with the property’s summer house, but there are also three private cottages perfect for families to enjoy privacy and plenty of room to spread out. While at the inn, spend time enjoying summer at the pool, playing lawn games or bicycling around the island.

There are plenty of complimentary activities available, like pizza-making class, face painting (on Fridays), morning sound baths, crafting, beekeeping and painting. By day, visit the candy cart. At night, roast marshmallows and make s’mores by the firepit. With the exception of getting a massage, all the activities are complimentary as part of your stay.
Staying at Stonecliffe this summer (or any time) isn’t just about getting a great deal on a family vacation. The property is a member of Humanitarian Hotel Collection, meaning 100 percent of the hotel’s profits are donated to charitable and educational initiatives around the world. Employees of Inn at Stonecliffe, along with employees of other Humanitarian Hotel properties, receive special training to help those in need, so your vacation helps others while your family relaxes and enjoys their summer.
