By far the best micro-brew style pub in the area. Well worth the short drive from our house. We can vouch for the premium quality of the ingredients because Chef Mike buys from our farms!

Hearty country breakfast fare, walking distance from our house. Warning: you might not walk too quickly after eating here due to the generous portion size & freshly baked cinnamon rolls and pastries.

Our favorite downtown restaurant for quality. Great atmosphere, esp. in the cold, rainy season when you can curl up next to the fireplace. The salmon is perfectly cooked every time.

Hip little Thai restaurant within easy walking distance. Seating is all at a bar with 50's style bar stools. Dishes are on the spicy side already so go easy on how many stars you ask for!

Everything Else

Mountain biker & runner's heaven. 10 min drive from the house, but worth the drive as it has great trails (hilly) and a spectacular view of the valley on a clear day.
