HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

Our room block closed on Monday, August 19 at 5:00 pm. Due to its popularity, the Grand Hotel has sold out for the dates of our event. There are many alternative accommodations available on the island, many within a quick walk or carriage ride to our daytime events at the Grand. We encourage you to use the official Mackinac Island website to explore your options.

 

FERRY SERVICE TO THE ISLAND

Shepler’s Mackinac Ferry will offer the guests of RE/MAX of Michigan Fall Sales Conference a discounted price per round trip ticket for adults ($26) & children ($17). St. Ignace and Mackinaw City locations both offer parking for a nightly fee of $20.00 for off-site parking and $45.00 for dockside parking. Off-site parking is very convenient and operates much like airport transportation. The ferry ride is approximately 16 minutes. Please visit the Shepler’s Mackinac Ferry website for ferry schedule and plan your travel itinerary accordingly. To purchase discounted ferry tickets online, you may use the promo code REMAXOFMICHIGAN (one word and case sensitive).
