About Us - Messy Minimalist

We’re Rachel & Dan. We’re quirky, nature-loving, highschool sweethearts with a toddler and a house full of animals. We decided to ditch corporate America to live a simple life. …So we bought an old motel on Lake Michigan. Welcome to our story.

Okay, now for the juicy stuff…! Well in typical Rachel fashion – I’ve launched this website without finishing all little details, like writing the perfect ‘about’ page. I’ll come back to this page soon. (I promise!) But what I can say is this:

Life is short. Life is good. And we plan to live it happily every step of the way.

We’re done “living for a better tomorrow”. We want a better today. It’s why we dropped everything to move to this little town in Northern Michigan. And now that we’re here, we can’t wait to give you a glimpse into our innkeeping adventures. There’s a lot to do…:)
