One of the most visited attractions in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Breathtaking views and awe-inspiring power as fresh water gushes over. And with such a high rainfall this year the root beer colored rapids are exceptionally mighty. Tahquamenon Falls simply never disappoints…even on a chilly, cloud covered day like we had for […]

I’m forever in awe of the amazing wildlife we get to experience right outside our front door. While the Great Blue Heron isn’t that uncommon, this is my first time seeing one at the resort. Isn’t it funny how there are certain experiences in our lives that we can picture perfectly? I remember the first […]

Making the decision to go back to bedside nursing instead of taking on more responsibility as a Quality Improvement nurse has had its perks. I’ve finally felt like I’ve been able to enjoy parts of the Upper Peninsula that were barely within my reach because I was so limited on time. Weekends were it and […]

It seems the wildlife around the resort are evolving along with the many personal changes we’ve experienced this past year. Our mallards from years past weren’t around much this season. The loons didn’t grace us with a little loon baby. But the squirrels were as active as ever. We even had a skunk play a cameo during an evening […]

When they say time flies, I don’t think they mean like a kite trailing through a breeze at sunset. I think they’re actually referring to a streamlined scramjet going mach 10! A lifetime seemed to flash before my eyes as I took her senior pictures. I’ve included some affiliate links in this post for your convenience. If you […]

I can’t seem to get deer off my brain. Perhaps it’s the season. Guys and gals out in the woods hoping for that big buck to cross their path. Bob’s been a hunter since he was big enough to carry a gun…me? Not so much. I’ll make a confession here…I’ve never even seen Bambi and […]

Last year was a complete blur. So many changes and a loss so huge that we find it hard to speak about. I keep thinking back to the holidays of 2016 and I can’t remember how we celebrated. So this is Christmas… I don’t remember wrapping or opening gifts. I can’t picture a Christmas tree […]

A super smart lady once told me that the only New Year’s resolutions she commits to is learning something new. Over the last several years that notion has really stuck with me. As I sit and write this on Christmas Eve I’m sicker than I’ve ever been and I suppose if one of my resolutions was […]

I’m slowly working winter time activities into my plans since there’s no escaping the freezing temperatures around here. A Northern Michigan winter can be long and sometimes dreadful when all you want is some warm sunshine on a freshwater, great-lakes beach. We’re completely spoiled with our 4 seasons and the ability to, occasionally, experience them […]

Have you ever planned a travel itinerary with a group of people and found it to be a bit daunting? This thought came to me recently when the hubby and I worked on one for a family trip to Florida. I’m typically a go-with-the-flow traveler. Once I’m on the road, I’m on vacation. But my […]

Our most frequently asked question, beyond “how many people can fit in that cabin,” is by far what are some fun things to do in upper Michigan? We’ve given out hand drawn maps so many times I can’t even count. Our guests love that the resort is centrally located to so many beautiful and accessible […]

Growing up in Michigan I think we take for granted the abundance of water here. I think it was the time I was watching a morning talk show when it hit me. She says, “as I stood on the Lake Michigan beaches I thought I was at the ocean.” Or maybe it was when my […]
