Meet Madi & Mike

Wilderness Lodge Retreat Owners. Dog Lovers. Partners in Crime.

In June 2021 this talented team of two made the leap to purchase and restore what was once known as the Pine Crest Resort in the tiny community of Republic - located in Michigan's scenic Upper Peninsula. Madi and Mike Serota rebranded the wilderness resort as Pinecrest Northwoods. Since purchasing they've applied their combined passions to curate an atmosphere of rustic comfort, understated boho design vibes, and the historic remembrance of a bygone era. They love hosting couples, families, and groups for personal getaways, wellness retreat groups, and naturally stunning weddings and elopements. The two even tied the knot on the property themselves!

We feel incredibly fortunate to take advantage of this newlywed couple's passionate vision for our beautiful, down to earth backdrop for the Emotional Graffiti workshop experience.
