Highly recommend stopping in and getting this place established. We are came from Northport and it was worth the trip.

I have visited Black Star Farms numerous times over the past several years for wine tasting when we…read moretake our yearly trip to northwest Michigan. My husband and I decided to join the wine club this past year because there are so many of their wines that we enjoy drinking year round, it is truly our favorite winery. We are obsessed with the dry reisling, dry gewurtztraminer and pinot noir rose! The outdoor tasting area is beautiful and so serene! During this last visit, I discovered they held regular goat yoga classes, so my aunt and I took a class together. It was so much fun! There was a great mix of time interacting with the goats and taking pictures as well as flowing through a yoga class. The teacher was so sweet and kind and excellent at guiding all levels through a yoga flow. I would 100% do the goat yoga class in the future. Beautiful landscape, adorable and sweet little goats, a wonderful yoga flow and happy, relaxed people - would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of farm animals :)

We've been waiting for Riverside Inn to really find its stride under the new ownership (which "new"…read moreis really several years old now!), and last night felt like it may finally be getting there. Riverside was a favorite of ours when Kate owned it, and over the past few years we've kept coming back hoping to see the new owners develop a more consistent kitchen and, importantly, a menu with an identity of its own rather than one that sometimes felt like it was trying to emulate the best restaurants around the area. Last night delivered. The food was consistently good across the table--the chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection, the pasta was excellent, and the accompaniments felt thoughtful and well executed. And please, whatever you do, never get rid of the whipped mashed potatoes. Those have consistently been something Riverside does very well. The focaccia with corn was fabulous and butter with honey is way better than previous iterations of butter with olives??? Nobody wants that. Service got off to a very delayed start, but once our server found a rhythm, things got back on track and the rest of the evening flowed much better. It feels like Riverside is beginning to settle into what it wants to be rather than chasing something they're not, and that's encouraging to see. We've been waiting for that. Last night was the most confident and consistent the restaurant has felt in a while, and we're hopeful they keep heading in this direction.

A step back in time compared with now more modern open ceiling restaurants. Beautiful views, white table cloths, relaxed atmosphere offering a pleasant, calming dining experience. Cocktails and wine were excellent. We ordered a couple focaccia breads for the table and it was one of the best I've tasted, so delicious! I ordered beef tenderloin which was cooked perfectly to specifications. Maybe a little more mashed potatoes and demi glacé would have kicked it up a notch. Others ordered salmon, trout, steak frites and bolognese. Enjoyed a couple shared yummy desserts and coffee. Note on bill for larger party there is an added 23% gratuity which I was informed of when making reservation. I would recommend for a pleasant dining experience.

We made online reservations to go tubing at Timberlee on Saturday, March 6th - we made our…read morereservations on Wednesday, March 3rd. There were very few open tickets left, so I highly recommend making your reservations as far in advance as possible! You can cancel for a full refund before 48 hours of your tubing time. The website is a little contradictory as they say tubing is open for all ages, however, they highly encourage all tubers to be able to handle loading and unloading themselves on and off the tow rope. We have a 4.5 & 2 year old so we gambled, as I had heard they have double tubes and we'd be able to handle this issue by riding with them. When we arrived, we signed in inside and were given our passes and a quick run down of how things worked. I was happy to see the COVID safety precautions they had in place - plexiglass dividers, sanitizer, and lots of social distancing at the indoor tables. I will note, they require face masks to be worn inside and outside while on the hill. This was actually welcomed as it helped keep our faces warm and we didn't find it bothersome at all to have them on! Especially flying down the hill! They have a full bar, snacks, etc inside for sale - we did not take advantage but nice to know its there! Bathrooms are inside, as well. There is a pile of tubes that you get to choose from, double tubes are first come first serve and we were able to grab two. These were ideal for our young kids! We were able to load them on and off the tow rope easily and had no issues. The operator at the bottom is super helpful in making sure you tube is secured and you are good to go. There is an operator at the top that tells you to get off the tube and he unhooks it from the rope - did not expect that but it was very much welcomed! There was about 4 operators at the top of the hill that help coordinate when you can go down and help you get going - again, no anticipated but very welcomed! This allowed us to get situated with our kids and they launched us down the hill. The hill is pretty dang big! Given the recent warm up, the hill was also very icy! We did not have any issues falling out or tipping, thankfully, but I would definitely recommend helmets, especially for kids! I was very happy to see that they had put hay down at the bottom of the hill. Not only did this help combat the mud, slush, ice, water mess.. but it helped slow the tubes since you go about mach 10 down the hill! lol There is plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit to enjoy, as well. All in all, we had a great experience at Timberlee and we look forward to coming back! Our kids loved it, and we as adults did, too! Also, we were disappointed we didn't see the Bloody Mary's until we were leaving, they looked really good!

I do wish the bed was comfier but it wasn't bad, per say. I would stay here again. We ate at the cafe our first morning there and I was really excited. Unfortunately it fell short. The cafe was very clean and cute on the inside. However, the prices are a little steep for what you get. 8$ for a basic, nothing fancy breakfast sandwich? Come on. Waitress forgot our drinks and overall she just seemed lost in her role. We ate elsewhere for the rest of the trip which is a huge bummer because the cafe being right there is part of the reason I booked this place. I'm taking away a star because of the cafe, not the motel.

I love wandering through this gorgeous old Mill building, and we got a chance to see it fully decorated for a wedding once and WOW, was it lovely. There's a separate ballroom area and room for a bar. You definitely feel like you've taken a tesseract into a different time in this beautiful old building. Photographic opportunities abound here, as the creek winds through the property, the mill circulates the water, and wildflowers pepper the creekside. Beautiful flowerboxes adorn the railings over the bridge. Magical place.
