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.

There are plenty of reasons to plan a family trip to Northern Michigan at any time of the year. The most difficult part is often finding a place to stay that will make anyone happy. While I know several Great Places To Stay In Michigan, there’s one cozy lodge in Cheboygan that your family will never want to leave.
If you’re looking for a Vrbo retreat that’s close to nature, comes with a hot tub, and is right on one of the Great Lakes, consider checking out the McIntosh Lodge for your next family vacation.
Families won’t have to worry about neighbors at this secluded lakefront lodge.
A winding 450 ft. driveway will bring you to the front steps of this beautiful cabin exterior. The reason this is on our list of the 12 Absolute Best Places To Stay In Michigan, and not on the best cabins list becomes apparent when you walk inside.
This beautiful cedar interior is exactly where I want to be after a long day on the water, or with a bowl of chili on a winter night.
The first floor features a full kitchen, living room, and a gorgeous view of Lake Huron. The lodge sleeps up to eight people with four bedrooms, including a bunk room for the kids.

You’re never too far from nature at this destination.
Not only is it surrounded by pristine nature, but it’s also located only 400 feet from the lake. It’s also pet-friendly, making it a great place to bring your four-legged friends for an epic adventure.
It’s the best way to enjoy a winter night without worrying about the cold or a great way to warm up after coming back from the big lake during the summer.
There are two porches where the whole family can catch up and relax.
A great location for family reunions, one of the decks overlooks the crisp blue waters of the Great Lakes, while the other one faces the front to great any guests joining your trip.
Cheboygan State Park is only an eight-minute drive from the property and features many of the beautiful natural wonders you’ll enjoy at the McIntosh Lodge.
