The largest market on most people's way to the cottage. They carry some organic and natural foods, and a pretty stellar selection of wine, beer, cider, and liquor. There is also a pharmacy, craft, and hardware store connected.

A low key farmer's market with everything you need. Thursday mornings. We prefer this to the market in Frankfort on Saturdays.

Sightseeing
One of my favorite beaches and close to the cottage. Spectacular views of the dunes and a great place for a long walk or jog. Less developed than Platte Point. You can pick-up the Platte Plains trail here.

A short drive from the cottage, this beach also has terrific views of the dunes. Kids love to play in the creek that flows gently into Lake Michigan.

A beautifully restored Michigan lighthouse in the dunes. It's worth a stop.

A fun place to play lawn games and catch some live music. At times they have had food trucks with good wood fired pizzas, but I think they've opened their kitchen--I have yet to try the fare. They offer it all: Mead, Wine, and Beer. I don't recommend the reds :(

TC-A must stop for you coffee lovers. I myself prefer a soy latte, and their honey latte in particular. You can take in the views of the Boardman River and a bit of Grand Traverse Bay from the deck.

My preference for nearby pizza, this location is in Frankfort. It doesn't have the 50s style diner ambiance of Papa J's, but it's tasty. There is also a location in Interlochen that one local recommends, and another in Beulah (although I prefer to skip the news that is constantly blaring at that location).
