Evergreen (adj): continually relevant, functional throughout more than one season, retaining freshness or interest 

Take a roadtrip to Lake Superior in the UP, Michigan to spend a weekend in nature simplifying, exploring, and clarifying your brand vision with like-minded people. Bring your brand to life by attracting your ideal client with evergreen marketing content. 

Take in the fresh spring air as Michigan transitions into the summer months and you transition into a different season of business. As the trees bud new leaves and start anew, we too aim to gain clarity in our business and will leave feeling ready to grow. Make new connections with like-minded individuals, explore and define or re-define your ‘why’, take in the relaxing beauty of the UP and arrive on day 1 knowing you’re in good hands.

A Midwest weekend retreat for creative entrepreneurs to gain clarity and connection.

Knowing she’d never be able to sit still long enough for a regular 9-5 career, Mo immediately jumped into photography after graduating college. As a result of a degree in journalism, her approach to photography has bloomed from a desire to tell stories.

From capturing couples in love to small business with handcrafted goods— there’s something uniquely beautiful about each story. 

Her photos have been featured in a variety of places, including Junebug Weddings, Discover Wisconsin and Trek.

Owner, Wander Design co.

We are Mariah, Madison, and Morgann, but you can call us Mo. Seriously, all of our nicknames are Mo. You could say our friendship was meant to be. We are business owners, adventurers, and Midwest living gals. Collectively, we have over 15 years of experience in starting, running, and growing our own creative businesses. Over the years, we have learned how to bring a brand to life by clarifying our messaging and attracting our ideal clients. Perhaps more importantly, we understand the ups and downs, the peaks and valleys, the twist and turns of running a business. Disconnecting in nature, defining our why, and connecting with other entrepreneurs who encourage our dreams have been the key ingredients in growing and sustaining our brands. Now, we want to share it with others. If you love exploring the outdoors, discovering good coffee shops, and wearing many hats (literally and figuratively) - we should be friends. 

Fresh Coast Cabins

Fresh Coast Cabins is your basecamp for Upper Peninsula adventures on Michigan’s Lake Superior shore, located just three miles west of Copper Harbor.

Nine individually curated cabins are just steps from the beach with unobstructed views for 50 miles in either direction. Located on the most northern point of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula between Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor, the lack of cell service and WiFi availability makes this part of the world the perfect place to unplug and inspire new adventures.

Fresh Coast Cabins offers the ultimate rustic Keweenaw cabin experience with the small details you would expect from a boutique hotel. Think basic necessities with a side of wanderlust to inspire, whether it’s reading a book next to Lake Superior or enjoying the hundreds of miles of biking and hiking trails that the adventure-filled Keweenaw Peninsula has to offer at your doorstep. We’re in the exciting stage of renovating each cabin but there are still some quirks.

Sleeping Arrangements: 

We are reserving a number of cabins and will have attendees share rooms and full/queen beds. We firmly believe that connecting with your roomie will be one of the best experiences of the entire trip! We will space people out as much as we can with most cabins sleeping 2 to 4 people. 


Want to book with a friend and share a room/bed? You can each take $50 off your ticket price if you go this route! Use code BRINGAFRIEND at checkout and request them as a bunkmate in the questionnaire at sign up. 

We are doing our best to follow COVID guidelines and still have a wonderful experience!
