Mackinac Island has once again been voted the No. 1 best summer travel destination in the country! (It was also recently voted the No. 7 best historic small town in the U.S.)

Mackinac Island was the only Michigan location up for the honor (which is nonsense if you ask me... C'mon! Michigan is FULL of summer vacation hotspots like Traverse City, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, and South Haven, to name a few.)
