The Gate House

Grand Hotel is closed after a wonderful 138th season. We look forward to welcoming guests for our 139th season on April 25, 2025. A Mackinac Island favorite, this casual restaurant is the perfect place for friends and family to enjoy , lunch or dinner offering a variety of appetizers, entrees, and our famous Trapper Burger. Featuring local live entertainment weekly and seasonal bar specials, guests can relax with a cocktail on the outdoor patio or cozy up next to the warm fireplace when the weather is chilly. The Gate House is a multi-year winner of the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and Traverse Magazine Red Hot 10 Best. A separate room is available to rent for private events.
