MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.
Mission Point Resort, a 239-room lakefront property on Mackinac Island, Mich., launched a new "Out of the Office Package" geared towards groups which takes care of all of the planning and budgeting – all that's reportedly left for the group is to turn on their 'Out of Office' email response.
In addition to basics, Mission Point's OOO package can include add-ons such as the property's new Sun-Up Session, which allows groups start the day off with a with a distinctly Mackinac experience: taking in the sunrise over Lake Huron.
Groups can enjoy a light hike to view the sunrise, followed by a picnic of locally sourced and house-created breakfast specialties, including: whitefish benedict, house-made croissants with artisanal lavender and Michigan Peach jam and maple-syrup glazed bacon. Optional yoga follows on the Courtside Patio.
While we all know that every meeting can't be fit into a set template, the package does look like an intriguing one for planners to consider, with plenty of room for customization.
