The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. It dates back to 1847 with a 660 foot porch overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Two movies were shot there "This time for Keeps" and "Somewhere in Time" with the late Christopher Reeve. Although cars aren't allowed, except emergency vehicles of course, Christopher Reeve was filmed driving a convertible down the driveway. Living in Michigan, I was fortunate enough to be visiting the summer of 1980 while the movie was being filmed. The hotel is open seasonally and is quite a beautiful gem while approaching by ferry.
