Moving up from florida

hello...My wife and daughter and i are planning on moving back up north there next year..we moved here from "that other state" about 25 years ago..My parents had a cabin on West Twin lake in Lewiston in the late 60's -early 70's..loved that place and wish he had kept it..but i love that country up there and decided it was time to go back...not too sure on what area but if you draw a circle around Gaylord, Lewiston,Mio,Houghton Lake.we plan on buying 10-15 acres and doing a lot of fishing and hiking around in the snow.We are just really tired of the heat and hurricanes, so are looking forward to moving up there,enjoying the beautiful country...been looking for some forums on living up there and found this place so seems like a great place to start..hope to contribute in the coming months..
