Our Story…

…Starts with one woman and a bucket list.

In the spring of 2019, Nancy was the CEO and CFO of a non-profit organization in lower Michigan. The wondrous beach and starry night-time sky of her childhood kept calling her. The youngest of her three boys was headed to college, and she was itching for a change, so she did what we all do when we look to the future: she made a list. A bucket list, to be exact. On that bucket list she wrote, “buy a B&B in my hometown”.

And then she did it. She bought and began renovating The Victorian House, a vintage B&B in the town where she grew up, Ontonagon, MI. By the summer of 2020, Nancy’s Northern Lights was no longer just a dream - it was a reality.

When you stay at Nancy’s Northern Lights, you are only a short walk and a comfortable sleep away from all of the wonders Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has to offer: summer beach days on Lake Superior, snowy winter getaways, snowmobiling and skiing, and, of course, nature’s starry light show…. the Aurora Borealis.

As of June 2021, the Victorian B&B is also listed on airbnb.com.
