The absence of motor vehicles, a symbol of the island's commitment to maintaining a peaceful and pollution-free environment, invites visitors to embrace a slower pace of life. Instead, bicycles and horse-drawn carriages transport guests across the island, adding a touch of old-world charm to their travels. Visitors can explore a wide range of outdoor activities, from biking along the 70-mile trail network to enjoying water sports in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island. The island's natural landmarks, such as Arch Rock, offer stunning vistas and serve as a reminder of the ancient forces that shaped this unique landscape. Moreover, Mackinac Island's historical sites, notably the well-preserved Fort Mackinac, allow guests to immerse themselves in the island's past. The architecture, including the iconic Grand Hotel, and the quaint downtown area evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting visitors back to a bygone era.

144.) My Mackinac Bridge sweater. Made for my trip to Michigan in October 2019. In the years leading up to this trip, I received many requests to do a sweater of the Mackinac Bridge. When I was asked to come to Michigan for what to this day is my most recent airplane trip (though I’m soon to take another), I decided it was time. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #mackinacbridge #michigan #mackinacisland #mackinac #mackinawcity #mackinawbridge #mackinawisland #lakemichigan #lakehuron #interstate75 #i75

Hello! I built a recreation of Michigan’s eclectic Mackinac Island Grand Hotel! It has a very colorful, mid century interior even though the building is constantly being restored and updated. There is something quite charming about the mismatched colors and patterns everywhere. It has 16 rooms, a wedding hall, and a small museum!

This lot sits atop Hound’s Head Hill where it looks down upon the entire community.

It is a museum lot with tons of activities to keep your sims entertained and a full kitchen to keep them well-fed.

You can download this lot and many others on my gallery, @Docta-Jekyll
