Welcome to Adventures U.P. We are Morley and Monica, a 60ish couple who live at "Adventures UP" in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (A.K.A. the U.P.) We have lived here for 44 years and have raised our 3 children here. We are now open to offering our home to groups and families to experience the natural beauty and peacefulness of the U.P.
