Closest place for groceries. Yes, you pay more than going to Meijer's in Traverse City but its 10+ minutes away and they cater to the summer visitors with selections you ordinarily don't find in local grocery stores. Also, large selection of Beer and wine. I go here probably once a week.

This is the BOMB! The golf course is like being in England or Scotland. Only trouble is you have to get a reservation like a year in advance. However, you can eat there without playing golf and its worth it because they have someone who plays bagpipes before sunset while you look at the course. About 30-45 minutes south of the townhouse
