Love the burgers, fries, beer outdoor area with chalk wall for kids to draw on... During busy and holiday weekends try to go off hours to this or any restaurant as by 5pm they often have a bit of a wait. This place takes your cell number though and the wait is usually not as long as they say.

A hidden gem of a coffee spot a very short drive from our cabin. Skip Starbucks and give this coffee spot a try. So many options, and the coffee is made so well never burnt.

This is a very short walk from our Village cabin, and a great place to walk to grab a pizza to heat at home, healthy organic high-quality snacks, drinks, food, and even fire wood. Great for grabbing a couple of things if you don't want to drive all the way into town, or if you want to avoid the busy dinner season times.
