Mackinac Island Resort has $399 Deal for 2 Nites/Meals thru August

Families dreaming of a last minute getaway can travel far, far away in both place and time to Mackinac Island, an island resort in Michigan.

It's one of those fairy tale places with gingerbread cottages and horse-drawn carriges that families love. At least my family did, as you can read in this review of a Mackinac Island Vacation at Mission Point Resort.  And it's a great destination, even if the kids are still away at camp and you just need a break.

Anyone looking for that last great summer getaway before school starts, and at good rates, should consider this offer valid till August 31st  only.

Mission Point Resort is offering the "Summer Economy Buster Package" which starts at $399 for two adults, includes two-nights lodging, breakfast and dinner daily for two, and two ferry tickets. Kids eat free under 12 at the Round Island Bar & Grill, so this is a great offer, and less than half the price of their regular family package for four. Guests may also upgrade to a lake-view room for an additional $50, or a resort suite for $100 more - which is what you'll need if you have the kids in tow.

Guests taking advantage of this package will be able to enjoy the many resort amenities and island activities that Mackinac Island offers.

Whether it is a round-the-island bike ride with the family, romantic walks along the shores of Lake Huron, a carriage tour of Mackinac Island, touring Fort Mackinac, this unusual island has many recreational activities (though swimming in Lake Huron is not among them.)

This is a wonderful opportunity for guests to experience one last great summer getaway to one of America's most beautiful resort destinations at very affordable rates.
