There are plenty of small rental cabins and motel style lodging but Scmidt's tops all other that we have stayed at. Schmidt's may be a few more dollars then the rest in the area($85 / night) but well worth it, things are clean, well maintained, no musty moldy smell, a great place to come back to after a long day kayaking, mountain biking, beach ect.. We always stay in one of the standard cabins, mini kitchen, full size fridge, micro, coffee maker & coffee

Decent clothing geared toward young women. It's nice to have in town as it is one of the few places…read moreto purchase this type of clothing. Styles vary. They do appear to try to keep up with what is "in" at the time. I don't shop here often due to my own personal style not always fitting what they offer. Clothes typically have good durability. They sell Silver Jeans which is a bonus. They offer sales and discounts often. Some of the salespeople can be a little pushy at times. Others are more laid back. This view depends on your personal preference. I like stores that greet me, tell me about specials, and are available to help. I don't need help picking out clothing and don't like salespeople bringing me more things that they think would be cute to try on. Some people need that help when shopping though so for them that's probably a positive.

Everyone here is super friendly, and quite helpful. Need keys made? Check! Some random part for your boat to work? Check. Lawn stuff, tools, paint, light bulbs, zip ties, a box cutter? Check. Yes. I've bought all that here and more. Ope! This place is TARDIS-like. It's packed full of goodness and you are sure to come out with what you came for, and with a smile on your face

We spend a lot of time in this area and I just happened to finish a stitching piece. I decided to…read moreget it framed here rather than wait until we returned home. The shop has a wide variety of frames and mat with textures and colors. He knew how to frame a stitched piece (not many do). It was finished in a reasonable amount of time- about three weeks. Price was comparable to the other shops I have used. The shop itself has lots of finished framing pieces for ideas. The young man I worked with was very knowledgeable.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 I went to this store in Manistee, last…read moreweek to upgrade my home internet. We've had this router for 12 years. The buffering and calls breaking up has been really bad the last 2 months. The guy there said he could get me internet, but it wasn't available in my area. HOWEVER, he would get a list of random addresses where it is available and connect my account to that address. This process was going to take time. He was supposed to call me that night, but I still haven't heard from him, a week later. That said, my husband and I were thinking of upgrading our phones. Last night, I pulled up my account to place a phone order and upgrade and had 2 phones in my cart and was verifying all my info, and the address was downstate somewhere. So, I did not complete the order last night and planned on a visit after work on this day. The guy changed my address in my account and never called me. The manager wanted to tell me that it was impossible for him to do. I said, "So I changed it?" She just kept saying well what is it you're looking for. I said I want to know why he changed my address and never called nothing. She just kept saying it was impossible. I said well your losing a 15-year customer. Also, let her know giving random addresses out so people can "qualify" for internet services doesn't seem ethical. And per her suggestion, i will be calling 611. I do not care of this isn't an authorized AT&T store. I EXPECT a "manager" to be professional rather here, Goodwill or McDonald's. If you can't then you DO NOT belong in customer service.

Chill out with the rules and policies. I know gear is expensive, but make the experience for the customer enjoyable.

That being said, the staff is very respectful when they make you aware of store policy.
