Pretty decent Mexican food and plenty of it. Self serve salsa bar and good margaritas, we like Cadillac. The patio is nice in warm weather and they have heaters outside as well. Often crowded but moves quickly.

Our favorite restaurant by far. Try the chef specials. Everything is fresh, made well and delicious. Great salads, nice mixed drinks and desserts and coffee as especially good! Make a reservation or be prepared to wait a bit.

Sometimes you just need a frappacino or americano and you know what you're getting at Starbucks. They have a fireplace inside and outside and it's a nice place to sit for awhile.

A must stop place if you like jerky. So many varieties with different kinds of meat and you can taste them before you buy. Our favorite is whiskey BBQ. Try it and you'll know why.

This little gem has almost anything you need in a pinch. Prices are a little higher but it's easy in and out and close to the cabin. Try their fresh made sage breakfast sausage and home made salsa. Must haves for our refrigerator.

This is an antique mall with numerous smaller shops inside which are individually owned. You can spend hours wandering around and looking at all the old goodies and usually find something to take home. The proprietor is very nice and always makes us feel welcome.

Entertainment & Activities

Bowling is a lot of fun and this a great way to spend a cold day. Crowded during peak season and weekends but worth the wait. Grab a beer or soft drink and enjoy a game or two with family and friends.

I love this place because you get a chance to view local animals up close and personal. All the animals are either recovering from injury or not able to be released due to issues. Entry fees pay for animal rescue and care.
