Right on the shores of Crystal Lake but don’t let the view fool you...the food is second to none. It’s small and reservations are a must. Farm to table, Chef prepared and Menü always changing. It’s small plates but enough.

Old fashioned in your car service with the famous root beer floats. Food is decent and it is a fun family experience of days gone by.

Brewery
If you like beer this microbrewery is the best. Don’t neglect to order the food though as it is highly recommended. Fun atmosphere with outdoor dining in the middle of town. In winter months they even have curling. Order the “Rainmaker”

Distillary
Best maple syrup ever (take a bottle home). If you like Bourbon, I love the Maple Bourbon. Denise’s favorite is the Willie Coyote Jalapeño Gin drink. Great pizza. Games for kids. It’s in the middle of nowhere but worth the dirty car.

Are you a golfer or Skier? 36 holes and both downhill and cross country trails. Crystal Mountain has the best that Northern Michigan offers. Great food, bars, pool and recreational activities for all. Beautiful grounds that is second to none.
Crystal Mountain
National Park
Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes is a gorgeous national park with unprecedented hiking. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Be careful though as the hikes are not for the unprepared. If you are not in shape take the Heritage Drive to take it in. Glen Arbor and Leelanau Fishtown are worth the visit. Recommend Arts Tavern for food but take cash.

Doesn’t look like much but our favorite for sandwiches and cheap, good wine.
It doesn’t look like much, but the place has the best sandwiches and is a good spot to buy cheap, good wine. We recommend getting the “Judy”.
