100704 Mackinac Island Park

Amazon Local Mackinac Island House Hotel Deal

Leave a comment

AMAZON LOCAL MACKINAC ISLAND HOUSE HOUSE HOTEL – One of my personal favorite weekend vacations after having our first son and my wife being pregnant with our second son was a trip over the fourth of July to Mackinac Island. No vehicles, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and the island lifestyle.

Visiting Mackinac happened years before I started blogging, but I still recall the trip like it was yesterday. We wondered around the island on foot and horse-drawn carriage, seeing the wonderful parks, history museums, shopping, and dining. One of the most remarkable aspects I was quite surprised by was the island is bustling with tourists coming over from the mainland during the day. However, by dinner time, the island cleared out, and you had the island to yourself along with the rest of the residents and patrons staying the night.

We elected to stay at the Island House Hotel during our stay on Mackinac Island. While our room was quite basic, the hotel was more than substantial for accommodating our island stay.

I bring all this up because Amazon Local is currently offering a discounted stay at the Island House Hotel this summer.

Guests can currently save nearly 50% off rack rates with this promotion for $349. In addition to the voucher being good for two nights either May 2-June 8 or September 1-October 25, guests receive daily breakfast, $40 dining credit, bike rental for two, and 1/2 pound of Ryba’s Fudge.

Note there are substantial blackout dates (5/7/2014-5/8/2014, 5/10/2014, 5/28/2014-5/29/2014, 9/9/2014-9/10/2014, and 9/15/2014) with this offer, so make sure the dates will work for you prior to purchasing.

There is also an additional fee of $78.41 due upon check0in, which includes taxes, fees, and gratuity.

Upon landing on the shores of Mackinac Island and staying at the Island House Hotel, you will be transported back in time to when life was a little more simpler.

Leave a comment

The March-April 2014 issue of Lego Club magazine features two (2) coupons to save you and your family money at both U.S. Legoland Parks, as well as the Discover Centers and miscellaneous properties.

Typically, in the past, Lego has combined all the coupons into one. However, this issue they have been broken apart into two separate coupons. The first coupon is valid for a free single day child admission with purchase of a full paid adult ticket to any of the Legoland Discovery Centers in the United States; however, Boston is excluded from the list of participating locations.

The original coupon must be presented. Offer expires 12/31/14.

The second coupon offers kids go free with a full paid adult ticket to Legoland Parks (or Legoland Discovery Centers). Again, the original coupon must be presented. Coupon expires 5/31/14.

As a reminder, you can sign up to receive a free subscription to Lego Club magazine. However, if you need the latest issue and coupon in a hurry, either visit your local Lego Store to receive a free issue or check out our Legoland Discount lists, which offer all the best discounts that we are currently aware of at the time.

Tickets must be used by May 17, 2015.

Our family visited Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2012 for Christmas Town over Thanksgiving weekend. We were more than impressed with the park, from the breadth of the attractions and rides, to the retheming of every aspect of the park. When visiting the area, we would not hesitate to return in the future, and this Groupon provides a family an excellent opportunity to save a bunch of money, provided the dates can work for you.
