Great place to entertain guests and show off the up north lakeside vibe.

We decided to stop and get something to eat, and we passed by this interesting shop. After eating,…read morewe stopped in to look at the items. I was shocked to see some beautiful crystals. They even had the unique shiva that can be hard to locate and overpriced. They had fossils and rocks as well, especially the petoskey stone. The items were fair priced too. They currently do require face masks and the restroom is closed. However, the lovely worker with an awesome accent instructed us how to get to public restrooms a short 2 minites away! We love this cute shop and were excited that we saw it.

While visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes a friend and I stopped in at this small shop. It was labeled as…read morean antique shop but they have a combination of old and new. I think "original gifts" would be more accurate. They have jewelry, items for the house and garden, old post cards, pottery, masks, drinking glasses...we had a good time just poking around to see what they had. The owner was friendly and asked if we needed help, and left us to wander. We ended up buying stone earrings for $10 each. We enjoyed the store and recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

My young adult boys and I had brunch here today $45 per person ($135 +tax) and it was terrible. This was a waste of money. We all left hungry. And the couple items that should have been warm, were cold. The food was not very good and frankly quite bland. Extremely disappointed. Save your money, don't do the brunch... on bright side I love their lavender chapstick.

If you like handcrafted, made in Michigan stuff, you'll love Swankyz…read more They've got a great variety of items like soaps, candles, cast iron sculptures, jewelry, dog treats, people treats, clothing, etc. - all made by local artists and business owners. I'd be very surprised if you were unable to find something out of the vast array that tickles your fancy. The store is spacious and laid out smartly to avoid feeling cramped or overstimulated. Everything is clearly priced and neatly displayed. We also talked with the owners for a few minutes, and they were super friendly. We were just driving through, so I don't know what else Manistee holds, but if you're in the area, definitely check these guys out.
