  Harbour View Inn occupies a historic estate on the shoreline of Mackinac Island, Michigan, built around 1820 by Madame Magdelaine La Framboise — a prominent fur trader of French-Canadian and Odawa heritage who retired to the island after more than a decade in the trade. The property remained a private manor until 1995, when it became Harbour View Inn; the collection has since grown to four buildings, including the Lachance Cottage, a late-1880s structure with its own history as a private home and boarding house before joining in 2006. The inn's setting on car-free Mackinac Island — reached by ferry from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace — lends a quietude that defines the character of events here. For private celebrations, the property offers several distinct settings: the Front Veranda with harbor and Round Island Lighthouse views for ceremonies of up to 20 guests; the Front Lawn and Courtyard Fountain garden for gatherings of up to 40; and a private Dining Room and Patio suited to intimate receptions and rehearsal dinners. Overnight guests attending multi-day events also enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast and on-site bike rentals.
