SOMEWHERE IN TIME WEEKEND ON MACKINAC ISLAND - OCT 7-9, 2022
www.mackinacferry.com
October 7 – 9, 2022 at the Grand Hotel Filmed at Grand Hotel and on Mackinac Island in 1979, and released in 1980, Somewhere in Time stars Jane Seymour, Christopher Reeve, and Christopher Plummer. Each year, our Somewhere in Time Weekend is one of the most popular and special events during the Gra...I had the pleasure to work on the movie. It was fabulous!
My Aunt and Uncle were on the island when it was filmed. My uncle was the Camp Commander of Greyling and they owned a house on Traverse City Bay. My Aunt has a picture of her and my uncle with Christopher Reeves.
This has been my dream trip . I was going to attend five years ago. Family emergency, I have seen this movie and loved the actors and the beautiful hotel where it was filmed. Would love to meet Jane Seymour. Have fun everyone!!!!
We were there for the final week of filming - it was magical.
My Favorite movie of all time. On my Bucket List to go to this Event
I see a ferry in the background.
Favorite movie...my daughter is named after Elise Mckenna....Rachmaninoff Rhapsody was played at my wedding.....on my bucket list.
It is Beautiful at the grand hotel . But u would love to be there when Jane Seymour is there. Love the movie some where in time.❤❤
Not a fan of this movie 👎
I was there with our family when they were making the movie we could not go to the Grand Hotel & there was a car parked in front
Loved the movie!
Went with a polka band group and stayed 3 nights at this hotel and spent a lot of time polka dancing. Had a great time and even got to dance with the band leader and Gene with his wife. What fun we had and loved staying at the hotel. Also food was excellent. And touring the island in a horse carriage was a great experience.
I've been to this hotel several times it's just as beautiful as it looks
My favorite movie!!! 😎
Maybe next year!!! It’s a great weekend❤️
My favorite movie.❤️
I wish I could be there!😢
You can get on the porch of the Grand Hotel, but it'll cost you.
One of the best movies I've ever seen
I love 💘 it there.
Tom England how much do you think we can pack into this weekend?!?
this was released on the day my husband and i got married, i always wanted to come up there for one of our anniversarys.
Awesome movie
This is very telling that my 15 yo wanted this for her sweet 16. Sold out. 😞
Teena Polivick , y'all need to watch this movie for the upcoming trip 🙂
It takes a lot of work and a lot of great people to keep Mackinac Island looking so beautiful
My niece & I just returned yesterday….enjoyed many gardens on our walks.
The gardens are stunning, never saw gardens that were so manicured and thriving♥️
They certainly do a great job
We tourists get off the ferry & into our “Shangri-La” & forget that this is a hard working community that goes to work everyday. Thank you!
2 weeks! 😍

Next week!! 😍
Indeed!
Very nice
And they do an amazing job!

You were amazing, friendly, and accommodating, as usual!
