As kids we were given $1, and we could fill our bags with whatever goodies we desired! Every time I come back I remember how wide eyed and full of excitement all of use were to get a bag full of candy - oh the excitement, it was palpable! If only $1 would go so far today! 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.

My wife talked to a woman (Julie) at Pine Hill Nursery about some plantings at our Elk Rapids…read moreMichigan cottage, way back in April. 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.

While they seemed somewhat short-staffed this summer, with two designers that were seemingly too busy to return my phone call, the employees that I did speak to were both friendly and helpful. This is one nursery that is worth the trip.

What drew you in: The signs for a fresh farmer's market or for the wine tasting room? It really…read moredoesn't matter because the Royal Farms will not disappoint! 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!

They have a faucet to wash the sand off of you. In general, it's a lovely place to visit.

Beautiful views, you can walk down to the beach and actually walk down into the lake if you want to. You can go up to the top of the lighthouse, there is a small fee of eight dollars for adults. We chose not to do that. Still a cute little house. It also sits on the 45th parallel, which is the halfway point between the North Pole and the equator, there's a sign out front that demonstrates that as well. It is certainly worth a 20 minute drive up the Peninsula, especially if you stop at a winery or two as you are coming or going.

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.
