About Northern Michigan Travel Guide

Rooted Here — With Perspective
Hi, I’m Lisa. I was born and raised in Boyne Falls, and I’ve spent years building relationships across Northern Michigan’s hospitality, events, and local business community.
Northern Michigan Travel Guide exists because this place deserves to be experienced well and I know how to make that happen.
A Background in Hospitality & Logistics
Hospitality, logistics, and coordination have shaped my work for most of my adult life — both in Northern Michigan and beyond.
Locally, I’ve worked across Boyne Mountain Resort, Forty Acres Tavern, and Inn at Bay Harbor, gaining firsthand experience in service, events, and guest operations.
Most recently, I worked with Sunset Premier Shuttle in Petoskey, coordinating transportation for weddings, private events, and visitors across the region.
These roles gave me a clear understanding of how timing, logistics, and local knowledge directly shape the guest experience.
Why Northern Michigan Travel Guide Exists
People love Northern Michigan, but they often don’t know how to experience it beyond the obvious.
I saw the same questions come up again and again: where to go, what’s actually worth it, how to plan around seasons, and how to make the most of a trip without feeling overwhelmed.
That gap between being here and truly experiencing it well is exactly why this exists.
