Grocery Store

We always shop for groceries after we get to the cabin. There are two major stores and both should have everything you need to cook/snack while staying with us.
Only 2 miles from the cabin and have an outstanding butcher counter.

Food scene

Need an idea on where to eat? Here are some of our favorite places.
Good food, HUGE portions at nice prices. 2 people could easily split an entree and we highly recommend them for pancakes (super thick and fluffy and served all day!) and sandwiches.

Located at the end of the Village, we like their steak, salads and have a great atmosphere (inside and out!). Great place to have a nicer dinner and then walk around the village after.

Super cool restaurant in the village. They are great for breakfast and here are some things to know: they only take cash (there is an ATM inside the restaurant), be prepared to wait for a table, it’s a little noisy. However, food is delicious and great people-watching.

This is our favorite spot to pick up a pizza. We always recommend calling in the order and taking it back to the cabin. Delicious and easy to pick up/dine-in. They have video games, TVs and a bar if you want to eat in.
