What Michigan Location Has Been Named to the World's Greatest Places 2024 List?

It's no surprise to us, but the rest of the world is catching on: The Inn at Stonecliff on Mackinac Island has earned a spot on Time Magazine's prestigious list! This legendary Michigan inn offers an enchanting escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As most Michiganders know, this historic inn has been a beloved retreat for visitors seeking a peaceful haven for decades. Here's just a bit of what Time Magazine wanted to share with the world;

"The Inn at Stonecliffe, a 1904 estate built for a Chicago meatpacking magnate sitting high above Lake Huron on the island’s West Bluff, was a residence until 1949 and became a hotel in the1970s—its wide, manicured lawn providing jaw-dropping views of the Straits of Mackinac. After a two-year closure and $40 million makeover, the public spaces and 16 guest rooms in The Inn at Stonecliffe’s Tudor mansion have been completely renovated, with original moldings, stained glass windows, fireplaces, wood floors, gables, and timberwork all painstakingly preserved."

 

The recognition by Time Magazine is a testament to the Inn's enduring allure and the unforgettable experiences it offers. It's a place where memories are made, where the past meets the present, and where every guest feels like family.
