Infusco Coffee Roasters is the go-to local coffeeshop, or save your pastry purchases for delectable local bakeries Black Currant Bakehouse (Union Pier) or Luisa’s Harbert Swedish Bakery — our favorites. If you’re looking for a sandwich for lunch (and you didn’t already get one at the bakery!) Whistle Stop Café is often a convenient choice. Local tip — Sawyer Market and Deli makes authentic Indian takeout on Thursday evenings only, reserve ahead.
Enjoy fine dining at Susan’s or The Historian (Sawyer), Timothy’s (Union Pier), or the one we can’t wait to try — Cafe Gulistan (Harbert), to name a few. For a truly memorable experience enjoy farm-to-table haute cuisine at Granor Farm or Tabor Hill Winery (you’ll likely need to book ahead). For the everyday there are many breweries and wineries including Greenbush Brewery in Sawyer, and of course ice creams spots like The Beach Bucket.
There are many outdoor activities to enjoy including swimming and beach time of course, hiking, biking, kayak and many lake-accessory rentals, antiquing, blueberry-picking in season, and more! Feel free to ask us if you have any questions.
