Follow along for the whole video or turn on in the background and listen to the rain on the umbrella while you relax, focus, or sleep.
Some history on the neighborhood: Gurdon Hubbard came to Mackinac Island in 1818 working for the American Fur Company. Later, he purchased 80 acres and built a home on Mackinac Island, which at that time was also the second National Park in the US. (Yes, Mackinac Island was the 2nd National Park in the US after Yellowstone, another fun fact that many people don't know!) His home was destroyed in the tragic 1871 Chicago fire and he neared bankruptcy. To recoup his losses, he began selling lots from his property as building summer cottages in the National Parks property was a fashionable idea. Today, it's a historic neighborhood and a beautiful place to escape for a peaceful walk!

Mackinac Island is beautiful, even in the rain! Hubbard's Annex is such a neat neighborhood to explore. There is so much history in this part of the Island. It's definitely off the beaten path, but worth visiting if you have the time. And how about those hedges? My oh my they sure are impressive! Enjoy! ✨

The small and charming "cottage " , 3rd home shown on the right was in our family for 30 years. This extraordinary chapter in my family's history will forever be a lovely and substantial part of our hearts...it was truly a privilege.

Just goes to show you can paint a home any color as long as you use white trim. Beautiful houses.

Love it, love it, love it. The only thing that made me sad, is seeing people keep a single horse in the yard. They are herd animals and don't thrive alone.
