Carl and I have been traveling in some remote areas for the past month that have been lacking in cell phone coverage. If you have been trying to reach us at Paradise Pines Resort and haven’t heard back, we will be able to get calls again beginning March 25. In the meantime, you can send me an email at [email protected]
See you all soon!

Just wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped with our storm damage today!!! We had a couple of trees rip out at the roots and one took out our beloved old gas station house from Paradise Pines early days. The village response from people offering to help has been overwhelming! We are not in Michigan, but our neighbor Mike Johnson was on it and our good friends Jody Pringle and Lynn and Danny Mixer were right there to help save the day! We also had people just stop to help out, so amazing! We just can’t thank everyone enough!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
