Anyone want some hydrangea flowers to dry/decorate with? I have to cut them back soon, but it'd be a shame to let these beautiful flowers go to waste. I've seen YouTube videos where people spray paint them and stick them in their Christmas trees, or just dry them and stick in a vase!
If you want them, c'mon over and bring your own trimmers and something to take them home in. Please message me here before coming by to make sure they are still available

We had a great group of SxS riders this weekend at the resort. It was fun to see their sweet machines. It was a foggy start to their day, but it turned out to be another beautiful, Pure Michigan, fall day 🍁🍂

It was a beautiful evening in the neighborhood

Welp, that's a wrap on the "summer season." Boats and docks are out. It's such a bittersweet day. We had a blast with all the new guests that discovered us this year and it's such a blessing to see our guests that return year after year. I especially enjoy seeing how big the kids get from one year to the next. Now, we have winter, ice fishing and snowmobiling to look forward to. Onward ho!

It's a sad day when the boats come out of the water 😢 Docks are next.

Often we have cabin guests who have had groceries, boat parts, a handicap ramp, and other things delivered to the resort, but this is a first!!! A mummy rooster!! 😂

Just a short drive from the resort!

🦌 Somewhere outside Clare, there's a farm where you can hand-feed a reindeer, pet a Highland cow, and meet a two-toed sloth, all on the same afternoon.

Welcome to Rooftop Landing Reindeer Farm, one of the only reindeer farms in Michigan and a Central Michigan institution since 1991:

✓ Live reindeer you can feed directly from your open palm, plus alpacas, mini Highland cows, and yes, a resident sloth named Raini available for close-up encounters
✓ A candy cane maker on-site carrying a family tradition that traces back to Holland, Michigan in the late 1800s
✓ The Puffer Express, a miniature train that winds around the property, plus a playground, gift shop, and homemade donuts

Hard to find another place in Michigan that fits all of this into one place.
