Howdy! I’m Tina — the redhead behind Minnesota Influencer.

I’m a Minnesotan who loves getting out, exploring, and being curious about all the things. Whether that’s being nestled in a cozy cabin tucked away in the woods, trying a new restaurant, enjoying the outdoors, exploring somewhere new, or taking the random turn that leads to an unexpected adventure.

I’m Forest’s mama, a foodie + Yelp Elite, outdoor lover, content creator, and always down to try something new. I love being near the water, finding hidden gems, and saying yes to a good adventure. But give me a beautiful place to slow down and take it all in, and I’m just as happy.

I started Minnesota Influencer to inspire others to find the beauty within our state, discover new experiences, and find those special places where memories can be made.

In this space, you’ll find a bit of everything: cabins and retreats, food worth the bite, Minnesota-made brands, lakes, trails, parks, family adventures, and probably a few places you didn’t know existed.

And these days, you’ll sometimes see my little sidekick Forest along for the adventure too.

I’m so happy you are here! 💕

There’s a new coffee stop on Gull Lake

Cragun’s Resort recently opened The Grind on Gull, and I stopped in to check out their seasonal fall menu.

I went straight for the Caramel Apple Cold Brew - with house made syrup and delicious cinnamon cold foam.

Let’s also talk about the newly redone lobby?! The warm wood, huge windows overlooking Gull Lake and that massive stone fireplace make this such a cozy spot to grab a coffee and stay awhile.

Whether you’re staying at the resort or just looking for a new coffee stop in the Brainerd Lakes Area, put this one on your list. You will thank me later!

Add sleeping in a covered wagon to your Minnesota bucket list!

I recently stayed at Rum River RV Resort & Campground and instead of bringing a tent or camper, we did a unique stay in one of their covered wagons!

And this place has WAY more than just camping. You can choose your own kind of stay with RV sites, tent camping, glamper campers or covered wagons, then spend your day tubing or kayaking the Rum River, hanging by the heated pool and splash pad, playing at the playground, and ending the night around a campfire.

I sharing Minnesota stays that are a little different, and sleeping in a covered wagon definitely checked that box!

Save this for your next Minnesota weekend getaway!

Sweater weather, colorful leaves, cozy cabin vibes, and a little time to slow down.

Sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what you need. A peaceful getaway, a warm drink, and nowhere else you need to be.

Sweater weather, colorful fall leaves, and a hot tub overlooking the lake. 

There’s something about escaping to a new cozy cabin, sitting in the hot tub by the lake, and enjoying the peacefulness of nature that makes all the stress melt away.

Book your perfect little fall getaway!

Beautiful lake views with the fall color foliage, a little sunshine, and something delicious to start the day!

I stopped by The Grind on Gull at Cragun’s Resort and tried their Apple Crumble Matcha from the fall menu, along with a delicious cream cheese croissant. Forest even got to enjoy a little piece of my croissant!

We took our treats down by the lake and enjoyed the beautiful fall morning. There’s just something about being near the water that makes everything better!

If you’re in the Brainerd Lakes Area, this is such a beautiful spot to grab a drink, enjoy a sweet treat, and take in the views of Gull Lake.

Duluth Grill is a must-stop every time I’m in the area!

I love trying new restaurants, but there are some places I just have to go back to, and Duluth Grill is one of them!

This time I tried the pesto melt, and every bite was orgasmic! The melt was filled with delicious pesto sauce, melted cheese, fried capers, and fresh tomatoes, every bite had me going mmmmm mmmmm oh my GOD!

Slow mornings outdoors with my son. Sunshine, fresh air, a lake and nowhere else we need to be. I could get used to mornings like this.

Life moves fast. Don’t forget to slow down, explore somewhere new, and collect memories along the way.

There is so much beauty in Minnesota during the fall!

Between the rushing waterfalls, trails, and trees showing off their fall colors, I couldn’t stop taking pictures. Fall is truly my favorite season.

📍 Gooseberry Falls State Park
Two Harbors, Minnesota

What’s your favorite place in Minnesota to take in the fall colors? I’d love to add a few more to my list!

A brand new MN stay is about to hit the map!

Here is a sneak peek of The Terra Slope!

Kelsey of Northern Lakes Properties describes the design as “a nod to earth and terracotta,” and that’s exactly what it feels like. Warm oranges, greens, plants, wood tones and little details everywhere you look.
