I love this little place. They have the neatest little shops here. Great place to visit in the summer. Also there is a beautiful walk way tucked in behind. Great for strolls in the forest and to take your dog for a walk

Cute place to grab a cone with a trademark jelly bean in the bottom, a coffee break, how about grab a gift or groceries, hit up the bakery for an apple strudel? Its got a bit of everything.

Getting to the Village is a beautiful drive through the country side and lots of good things to explore when you arrive! Shops, food, ice cream and the lake, of course!

I almost don't want to give this little hidden gem of pure paradise a good review so flocks of people don't flood it - this will be our secret .The grocery store has the absolute best meat (locally sourced beef - best steak ever) and bakery. Surrounded by absolutely everything you need -- gas, weed, booze, gifts, clothes shopping etc.. The surrounding community is filled with a family atmosphere and a safe environment with lots to do. You just don't want to leave so don't come;0)

There is a little commercial square built on an adorable boardwalk that's the letter-perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. The Eco Cafe was a wonderful visit. Both my companion and I can recommend the steak, creamy potatoes and mixed veg. You must also visit the Village Emporium & Boutique. Watch for surprise treasures. And there's more. Next visit, I plan to try Daisy McBeans' Cafe. Honestly, who can resist that name? Cheers.
