She called back later, had some overall planting recommendations, said she didn't actually do landscaping design. Guy named Ben came out to the cottage in June, said he would get back to us with recommendations, sketches, costs etc. Never heard back from him. My wife texted him back... Nothing from Ben. We went back to Pine Hill in July, talked to another guy, Ralph? I asked who we should really talk to if we were to have any chance of Pine Hill actually following up. He said he was the owner, of course he would follow up. In fact his brother (Paul?) would follow up with a phone call. Crickets. It has been weeks. Pine Hill has always come highly recommended in the area. And yes, folks up here are on "lake time" so things do tend to take awhile. But the runaround and total lack of movement from these guys has been amazing to behold. They don't call back/text/ any kind of follow-up communications that they say they will do. Their facilities are nice, we've bought plants there a number of times, even had lunch at their lunch counter a few times. But I'm sorry, if you need someone to actually do some work? Go elsewhere.

While they seemed somewhat short-staffed this summer, with two designers that were seemingly too busy to return my phone call, the employees that I did speak to were both friendly and helpful. This is one nursery that is worth the trip.

We always hit Cherry Republic (which is down the street) and then, while my husband let's the kids run around in the (beautifully redone) park across the street - I head to Imagine That to take it all in. The place inspires in me what my husband refers to the "Target-Thousand-Yard Stare" - which apparently the look I get on my face when I browse the aisles of Target, child free. (You know what I'm talking about, fellow moms ;). The shop is beautifully curated. You know that whoever does the buying for this place puts a tremendous amount of heart into the items they select. There are seasonal items like graduation gifts, Mother's/Father's Day presents, and even Christmas ornaments that are perfect souvenirs to remind you of beautiful Glen Arbor in all its summertime glory when you're putting up your Christmas tree in December. They have home decor, coffee table books and a nice selection of candles. They also carry beautifully designed jewelry and a stylish selection of scarves. Imagine That is a small shop, but with its charm and splendor of goods - I always manage to get lost. :).

Master Sculptor/Artist Scott Nelles brings his whimsical creativity to his many metal creations…read more Beginners can start with one piece but soon realize how easy it is to add to their collection. Scott's themed pieces are not only extremely well-made but make a perfect gift for those you want to impress. Talk about a conversation piece, place his work in your house or garden and watch it gather attention! Always new collectibles being added to Nelles's offerings, too. Highly recommended.

Of course, the corn isn't the only good thing here. The rest of their fruits and vegetables are good, too. The selection is obviously limited to what's in season. They also have pies from Grand Traverse Pie Co., plus various jams and jellies and maple syrup. You can also come to Bell's any time of year to reinforce your supply of Christmas lights and decorations. Or, pick up a used paperback or puzzle for cheap (or trade in your old, unwanted ones).

I was able to book online. Showed up a half hour early, and they helped me find a good water proof case for my phone and stuff. It was early: I was probably the first person out. They were ready, smiling, and didn't have any issues with the fact I couldn't hear a word they said. The Crystal River itself is absolutely stunning. The name says everything: that river is absolutely crystal clear... and very shallow in spots. As a bigger guy like me, you will probably bottom out multiple times. This may not be the "beginners" choice: the first half is full of obstacles. Trees, stumps and more. What a lovely, summer challenge with excellent staff service.

I love how many people have had an epically great time- but I want to be honest about my experience…read morein case it helps someone. I am an experienced canoe/kayaker. I have been on rivers, lakes and the ocean before. I like a challenge. However, this was really hard for me to be in the back of the canoe for the whole trip. The obstacles are nearly constant for the first hour and if you go with a group like we did it was hard to stay close to them because of them. *That might be what you want! * Great! I have always loved canoe trips because they feel so chill however this was not chill. I couldn't look away. The current, wind, trees and other kayakers/canoes in the river made this stressful. Probably not great for those brand new to canoeing and kayaking- or those that don't feel like non-stop hard paddling for an hour. The second half was more what I was hoping for- Open river. Fewer trees down. Fewer people. If I had been in the front of the canoe it all would have been delightful. My son was in the canoe with me and enjoyed it (but he didn't have to navigate). The staff was friendly, helpful and kind. The space and gear were great. They were very family friendly and an experienced person can easily take their kids.
