I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.

Not everyone gets to wake up in a lakeside mansion every day, but you can make that experience a reality for a few days at least. Not only is this Lake Michigan Waterfront Mansion located right on the shores of a stunning Great Lake, but it’s also only a short drive away from one of the most iconic national parks in Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes.
This massive five-bedroom mansion can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people. It’s among the more expensive options on our list of the Most Unique Places To Stay in Michigan at roughly $1,100 per night, but bigger groups can cut down on the cost per person.
It goes without saying that this property is worth the price tag too. There’s roughly 4,200 square feet of space to lounge, relax, and catch up with friends. I’d definitely consider this place for my next friend's retreat.
The interior is as stunning as the view from outside. These beautifully tall ceilings are the perfect complement for the natural light that keeps you in touch with nature from every room.
There’s a living room on both the first and second floors. They both offer incredible views of Lake Michigan.

There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms throughout the house. With so many exciting ways to enjoy the great outdoors, you likely won’t be spending much time in them.
You’re literally only steps away from Lake Michigan on this property. There’s a stairway that leads from the bluff straight down to miles and miles of lakeshore.
There’s a dining area for sunset dinners and a fire pit for some late-night conversations under the stars.
While you get your own private beach at the mansion, you can experience the real dunes less than 40 minutes away. These are some of the most stunning dunes in the country and when you’re staying this close, you have to take a visit.
You’ll need a recreation passport to enter. There are opportunities to climb the dunes, swim in Lake Michigan, or hike several trails.
You can’t get much closer to the most beautiful places in Michigan while also living in the lap of luxury than with this rental from our list of the Most Unique Places To Stay in Michigan. This Lake Michigan Waterfront Mansion is the perfect getaway for a big group who loves to explore.
While Sleeping Bear Dunes is only 45 minutes away, there are nature opportunities closer to the mansion on the Leelanau Peninsula. Make sure to check out the rental listing for availability and up-to-date rates.
