Grand Hotel’s Secret Garden Gets National Recognition

Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel just snagged major acclaim—its once-hidden “secret garden,” born from a compost pile in 2015, now ranks among the nation’s most stunning historic hotel gardens. Nestled in a cedar forest, this floral oasis features winding paths, water-like blooms, and even a proposal-worthy bridge, drawing crowds to this 135-year-old landmark. Part of a prestigious National Trust list honoring 25 historic gardens over 50 years old, the space proves that timeless charm thrives when nature, history, and whimsy blend—complete with beehives and garden-to-table magic.
