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.

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.
