As kids we were given $1, and we could fill our bags with whatever goodies we desired!

They still have the huge penny candy counter and the same brown bags they have been using for ever. It truly means its summer once those bags are filled and wrappers are ferociously being removed on the sidewalk.

I will go as far to say this is one of my favorite spots I've ever been in the world. I was so happy and peaceful here. Our intention was just to grab lunch, and there aren't many spots in Kewadin. We pulled up and I was immediately impressed. Okay, I was immediately squealing with delight. The nursery was so beautiful. Perfectly landscaped with lots of thoughtful touches. This is more like an oasis you escape to, instead of a retail nursery. The grounds were so enjoyable to walk through. We made our way back to the cafe and I once again was giddy when i saw the antique and gift shop. This place was darling. Great mix of items and gifts- local handmade items, pretty things to look at. The cafe had a great little menu and the most adorable patio. I had the Italian sandwich and it was very good. Honestly, they could have served me a pile of dirt and I would have been just as happy. The tranquil atmosphere was the perfect break I needed on our vacation. It provided me with a wonderful memory that I have very much enjoyed looking back on

She called back later, had some overall planting recommendations, said she didn't actually do landscaping design. Guy named Ben came out to the cottage in June, said he would get back to us with recommendations, sketches, costs etc. Never heard back from him. My wife texted him back... Nothing from Ben. We went back to Pine Hill in July, talked to another guy, Ralph? I asked who we should really talk to if we were to have any chance of Pine Hill actually following up. He said he was the owner, of course he would follow up. In fact his brother (Paul?) would follow up with a phone call. Crickets. It has been weeks. Pine Hill has always come highly recommended in the area. And yes, folks up here are on "lake time" so things do tend to take awhile. But the runaround and total lack of movement from these guys has been amazing to behold. They don't call back/text/ any kind of follow-up communications that they say they will do. Their facilities are nice, we've bought plants there a number of times, even had lunch at their lunch counter a few times. But I'm sorry, if you need someone to actually do some work? Go elsewhere.

A perfect stop between Traverse City and Mackinaw City, this charming, cozy, epicenter of hospitality has so much to offer. The market has a fun selection of locally-curated items to its own homemade pies, soups, salad, and in-season produce. The Tasting Room is a comfy spot, appointed with more tchotckes, nibbles, a fireplace, and an array of respectable wines and ciders to try. You can stroll around the grounds, see the scenic views, and relax over a flight of unique and tasty beverages. Most definitely a must-visit stop!

On our latest visit while they were out of bottles of my favorite cider, which is the hard red, a combination of apple and cherry it was still on draft so we enjoyed a flight of four and hiked up the short hill to enjoy the scenic overlook that is waiting for you. Everything we tried in our flight was delicious and we ended up with bottles of everything to bring home. My personal favorites were of course the hard red but also the cheeky cherry, which is a sweet cherry wine and the botanical which is a semi sweet pear tasting cider. Service is always friendly and accommodating. On our way out, we visited the farm shop and picked up some cheeses and a apple cider donut for the road. Cheers!

All were warm and hot, which was the key to all of them. Each donut was also priced individually. I was able to have six and my thoughts on each are below. Cherry Pie - This was alright. It needed a little more cherry. PB & J - This had a strawberry icing with a peanut butter glaze along with some peanuts on top I believe. This was very tasty. Banana split - This was tasty with the cherry on top. Banana bread - This was different, and unique. There was plenty of banana flavor. This was actually my favorite one. Strawberry French toast - This was very good, just enough strawberry flavoring and the French toast was very apparent. Cinnamon Sugar - This classic was done right with plenty of sugar present. Will I go back? No doubt.
