This is where you go when you are in the area. The current owners have made some updates and changes these past few years and all for the better. They even have their own named micro-brewed beer on tap. You gotta love a bar with knotty pine walls, cold PBR in cans, Kessler's behind the bar, and an ample supply of Cajun picked eggs for the late night snack.

There is a very tiny stretch of sand and two long docks to access crystal clear, shallow water that seems to go on forever. Perfect for little kids! The downside is the people in the other cabins are constantly walking by to access the water so there is no privacy whatsoever. The people were very nice and friendly so it wasn't too bad. The Brass Bell is a very cute, nicely decorated, updated, teeny tiny cabin. I think it's worth the price considering it's right on the water, but it wasn't comfortable for our family of four. Thankfully, our kids are little (4 and 8) or it would have been unbearable. There wasn't a single closet or anywhere to put clothes or a suitcase. We stored the kids clothes in the tv entertainment cabinet and our clothes on the floor of the tiny bedroom! Suitcases had to be stored in the car. Also, the full sized bed was so squeaky, you couldn't even change position without waking up the other person. I hope the owner considers getting a new bed. It was horrible. The exterior/deck was very dirty with sand, dirt and spider webs everywhere!! Needed a good power washing. We didn't even use the kayaks because they were so gross with spider webs. The cabin is a great price for the location but more appropriate for 1-2 people, not a family.

The staffperson working yesterday (Sunday) was very nice, but the rental bikes were not in good…read morecondition. My wife and I each rented hybrids, and it took me several tries to find a bike that seemed functional. Multiple had loose front wheels that wouldn't tighten, but after a few attempts the attendant was able to get one tightened. Sizing and fitting aren't really part of the process -- this was more of a "just pick whatever bike you want" situation. Soon after we left, I realized that my tires were underinflated, so we had to go back for air. And midway through our ride, huffing and puffing to maintain speed, we realized that most of the brakes were rubbing -- both wheels on my bike, and the front wheel on my wife's. At $40 for a half day per bike, this was a disappointing experience. If you're looking for a rental bike to bum around for a few hours, this might be fine, but if you want to go for a real ride I'd recommend renting elsewhere, or making sure that River Outfitters improves their maintenance practices.

Hotel Indigo rented out our bikes to some of their guests so they were gone when we came downstairs. It was the last night of our trip and so we couldn't get the bikes back from the hotel to return them. The hotel said they would drop them off and didn't. The River Outfitters actually went to the hotel and retrieved the bikes for us and didn't charge us anything for going over time or the inconvenience after hearing our story. They were super understanding! I wish more companies would treat their customers like this.

She offered to custom order and provided me a decent time frame. Sunglasses, boards, shirts and the birks were all reasonably priced. This store offers everything for a true, upnorth experience.

The Leelanau Trail was inches away from the shop which was incredibly convenient. The trail is a delightful mix of shade and sun, and very well maintained. The bike was in good shape and pretty fun to ride. My only complaints are the weight of the bike and no easily accessible water bottle holder. The heft of the bike made taking off a little bit of a challenge. So when trying to cross one of the many roads that bisect the trail it was a little stressful trying to get myself moving quickly. The bike did have a large saddle bag that held my water bottle and could have held a book, bathing suit, lunch, etc if I had been riding to the Suttons Bay beach (which is what I'll do next time!).

So my family and I felt comfortable renting bikes from Einstein Cycles and biking around downtown Cadillac. The rental process was easy, the people who work here are super chill and friendly, the bikes are top-notch and well-cared-for, and they provide you with a helmet if you don't have one. It was smooth sailing (or biking) from start to finish. We didn't quite know where to go once we got our bikes, but the people at Einstein gave us some recommendations, and we ended up on a beautiful trail (the White Pine Rail Trail) and had a great time. I'd highly recommend Einstein Cycle's bike rental service if you're visiting the Cadillac area!
