The Story Behind Tif’s List

Woman with long dark curly hair wearing a black sweater and white pants sitting on a rock by a sandy beach with water and trees in the background, representing a Northern Michigan local and real estate expert sharing curated recommendations for exploring hidden gems and adventures in the region.

Tif’s List was founded by me, Tiffany George, a passionate Northern Michigan resident and local real estate agent. My journey with this incredible region began in 2018, when my family and I first visited and fell in love with its natural beauty, endless outdoor activities, and vibrant community. We purchased a second home in 2019, and by 2023, we couldn’t resist making Northern Michigan our permanent home.

During my time here, I realized that many locals and visitors were unaware of the countless hidden gems and unique experiences the area has to offer. That inspired me to create Tif’s List—a curated guide to help everyone discover the best of Northern Michigan, from outdoor adventures and charming downtowns to hidden restaurants and one-of-a-kind attractions.
