About Us

Welcome! We’re Dan and Lisa Brady, lifelong Traverse City locals with a passion for sharing the beauty and adventure of northern Michigan with guests from near and far. Adventure North Vacation Rentals is a true family-run operation that we manage personally with the help of Dan’s sister, Shawne, as well as Lisa’s parents and brother, Andy. Together, we are dedicated to warm hospitality, quick communication, and creating memorable stays that bring people together.

We specialize in large, fun, friend-and-family retreat lodges, with four unique lodge properties designed for groups seeking space, comfort, and unforgettable experiences. In addition to our lodges, we also offer one cozy downtown home and one charming lakefront cottage, giving guests a variety of ways to enjoy the Traverse City area. While our collection is small, it is intentionally curated—and we manage each home ourselves to ensure exceptional quality and personal care.

Dan owns and operates Dan Brady Painting and Floor Coverings, and Lisa—an Army Veteran—focuses full-time on coordinating guest experience and operations to ensure every stay is seamless and special.

For even more northern Michigan adventure, we also offer unique rentals including our Minnie Winnie RV, Tesla Cybertruck, and Jeep Gladiator, perfect for exploring the region in style.

Your Adventure North vacation awaits! We look forward to welcoming you.
