This is a great place to go hiking. It has decking for the main trail that will lead you to the Devil’s Ice Box. The Ice Box gets its name because the cave drops in temperature a lot so it’s a great place to keep cool in the hot summer months. The cave is a great place for exploration and adventure.

An upscale restaurant with mouthed watering steaks doused with butter, scrumptious salad and fresh warm bread. It is a local favorite for special occasions and the great thing is, it’s just a hop, skip and jump away from Lakeside Cottage.

They have super flavorful smoked wings. It’s not on the menu, but you can ask to get them flash fried and they will toss them in the fryer for a second which will add an extra crisp to the skin. Another piece of inside information is that on weekdays for lunch, each guest gets a fresh warm cookie if they want. They are sooo good!

It is a landmark bar and has been around for a long time. They are famous for the burger which run a little small so you’ll probably want two. Not a whole lot of side options but again, it’s all about the burgers, the history, and the quaint atmosphere. A great place to grab lunch.
