The Front Porch at the Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island

The historic front porch of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island is known to be the longest front porch of any hotel in the world. The Grand Hotel, which in 2012 celebrates its 125th anniversary, has been a well known hotel for well over a century and came to Hollywood fame in 1980 with the romantic movie Somewhere in Time starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. The Grand Hotel has one hundred rocking chairs that overlook the gardens and fountains in front of the hotel. From the front porch you can also see out into Lake Huron and out to the Mackinaw Bridge just southwest of the hotel.
