Pure Michigan Getaways

About us

We are a small Lansing team that turns Michigan road trips into the week you brag about all winter.

The Pure Michigan Getaways team, mapping next week's routes.

Pure Michigan Getaways started in 2017, when two sisters who grew up chasing lighthouses around the state began writing itineraries for friends. Word spread. Today we plan a few hundred trips a year — every one still mapped by hand, on real paper, by people who have driven the route themselves.

What we believe

Three rules shape every itinerary we send.

Slow down

We build in beach time and pie stops. Never seven sights before lunch.

Go local

We book the family inns, the harbor diners, and the shops where the owner waves.

Lake time is real time

Your trip runs on lake schedules — sunsets, ferry crossings, and campfire hours.
