About the employer
The Chippewa Hotel Waterfront, home of the Pink Pony Restaurant, sits right on the water on beautiful Mackinac Island, Michigan, just a short walk from the ferry terminal and the historic Fort Mackinac. Its location offers harbour views that aren't available anywhere else on the island.
There are no cars on Mackinac Island — only horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. The employer offers affordable housing within walking distance of work, and the ferry to Mackinaw City is available at an affordable price. The staff is friendly and has been hiring exchange visitors for more than 10 years, and with hundreds of students on the island each summer, you're sure to make new friends.

Why Mackinac Island?
Mackinac Island is a car-free, fudge-scented paradise in Lake Huron, connecting Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas. You’ll bike the 8-mile shoreline road, explore historic Fort Mackinac, swim in crystal-clear water and live in a tight-knit international student community. Hundreds of Work & Travel students arrive every summer, so making friends from all over the world is guaranteed. The island is also famous for its Victorian architecture, Arch Rock and, of course, its legendary fudge.
