Food scene

Drive or boat in to the 'cozy'. Great reasonably priced food and drinks, breakfast served on weekends. Watch the freighters as they float by and have one of their famous "ship shots" !!!

Neighborhoods

One of the UP's best kept secrets, a small community with a big heart. Launch your boat onto the St. Mary's River for some of the best fishing around or just sit back for a few and enjoy the peace and quiet. The 4th July parade is a hoot and the fireworks are awesome, local or visitor you will be welcomed by all.

Sightseeing

A great day out from our cottage, Tahquamenon is about 75 miles away. Make sure you have your Michigan State Parks Pass (also known as the DNR recreational passport) There is a path between the falls but we prefer to visit both separately, the lower falls has row boats for hire to get across to the island. The upper falls is more dramatic, there are plenty of photo ops along the pathway or you can get up close on the lower viewing platforms. Be aware there are a LOT of steps to these platforms so bring your walking shoes. The Tahquamenon Falls Brewery & Pub is a good place to stop for a beverage and something to eat.

This can be combined with a visit to Tahquamenon Falls. Museum and Light Station tour is good, the beach is a good place to catch a view across to Canada or watch freighters. Nearby look for signs to the Berry Patch Gifts & Bakery, little known fact that this area produces ooodles of Michigan blueberries, there is even a festival to celebrate them.
