Harrington's By The Bay

“This is our favorite source for local spirits! The vibe is casual and friendly with staff ready to win you over with their amazing array of spirits. We are gin lovers, and we've sampled it all over the world but keep declaring NLD's Jack Pine Gin our all-time favorite. ”

“Rustic 1/2-mile hike up wooded dune trail to top of Pyramid Point Sand Dune. Beautiful overlook of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands. Worth the hike. (No state park pass needed for entry or parking) ”

“Located in the historic former Northern Michigan Asylum, Red Spire is absolutely a local favorite. This is where to go for a classic american breakfast done really well. Their staff are so friendly, the atmosphere is bright, and the cinnamon rolls are huge! Take a leisurely stroll around the mercato shops after your meal.”

“Our favorite couples night restaurant. Make sure you have the pita chip appetizer. Not a kids favorite. Parking meters are free after 6 pm and all day Sundays”

“Great morning walk from the loft, and yummy coffee. If you want a coffee to go, you'll need to bring your own mug. Otherwise have a cup and sit in or out on the patio.”
