A chance to own that "up north" experience
Living and Working Your Dream
The Island Bookstore has been a thriving business with steadily increasing revenues year after year (call for more details), so while the downstairs can be reconfigured for almost any commercial need, you might want to think about maintaining the established brand and its place in the community.
Two businesses, One Location
The beauty of the bookstore is that it boasts two businesses under one roof and each supports and reinforces the other. Visitors come in to buy a book and end up getting a portrait. Families looking for a keepsake photo walk out with a sack full of books and giftts.
The Bookstore

The Portrait Studio
Located in the back of the bookstore, the old time portrait studio is a fun and engaging experience for visitors to Mackinaw.
Have you ever wanted to be a femme fatale, a pirate, outlaw or a Gangster? Maybe you see yourself as an Edwardian gentleman or maybe you want to dress up like a character from the “Downton Abbey” TV series. Would you prefer to climb the Mackinac Bridge, pose as a T-Rex hunter or simply pose in front of the Grand Hotel? Through the magic of Green Screen Photography anything is possible. These and other fantasies can come true at Mackinaw Old Time Portraits.
