Food Scene
This is walking distance from your stay! I recommend the food here. Their food is very good! The staff is friendly and the service is unique. They also have a bar, but guests are expected to go up to the bar to get a drink. If no one approaches you to take your order you need to go find a staff member and tell them you would like to order. So far we have tried their fish, burgers and pizza. All are very good!! It is located right on the lake and the view is fantastic! They also have a Lakeside Tiki bar that is sometimes open. You can access this restaurant and bar by boat, by car, or a short walk! (0.2 miles)

This place has a small town feel, open all year, with an inside fireplace and you can still order outside under the canopy and a car hop will serve you! As a side note: the car hops really appreciate your tips. The food is good and you can ask for extra seasoning on your french fries! If you go inside they have a small chalk board on the lleft side of the counter with the Manager's Special written on it each day and inside by the fireplace they have additional 'salt shakers' with their special seasoning for your own application on your french fries. Also check out the Family sized fries. They serve a lot of fries for a reasonable price. (7.5 miles)

Their food is good here. From our experience when you walk in the door all eyes are on you and they have big smiles on their faces (to see if the locals know you) and once they realize they don't know you their smiles fade. The bar is visible from all restaurant tables. This is a favorite for locals. (6.8 miles)

Arts & Culture
Also known as Northwest Company Post. This will be an amazing educational experience. A local farmer was plowing his field when he noticed wood posts under the soil in the shape of a building. This was the location of the Northwest Company Fur Post from many years ago. The fur traders would canoe up and down the river to the fur post to trade their furs. Today people are dressed up in character and live on site all summer long. I highly recommend experiencing this during your stay. (8.1 miles)
