Fall in Onekama


Just wanted to share a beautiful picture I found on Flickr. This picturesque view is just down the road. I am so lucky to live near such breathtakingly beauty.No matter what season. Come check it out!

Deer hunting doing well in Northern Michigan.




After I published my last post advertising our discount special I started getting calls the next day. Mostly from deer hunters looking for a nice place to stay near The State hunting land near Bear Lake. Two of our guests so far have bagged their deer already. One four point and one 6 point! So now they are off to the Casino!
Hunters love our large one bedroom kitchenette suite which has 3 beds plus a comfortable pull out sofa.(See top photo) Four men can sleep comfortably for two nights at a cost of only $36.25 per person.Price includes tax.We also have a smaller kitchenette suite (second and third photo) that sleeps 3 - 5 .
We will be running our special discounts through out the gun hunting season. Hunting Widows love it here too. With the casino shuttle service it is easy as well as safe to have a fun night and not have to drive.
Ice fishing season is just around the corner.Some folks don't realize it but the ice fishing season starts earlier up here as the ice freezes sooner due to the channel to Lake Michigan.
Last year the ice fishing was spectacular! Many happy fisherman gladly gave us some of there catch. The perch was, of course, my favorite.
I will post as soon as I see the shanties out there so keep checking my blog for updates.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

The Lighthouse Cafe

Last Sunday Mike and I decided to take a ride up beautiful Highway M22 . Although the weather was not perfect ( even a little hail on the way there) it was still a gorgeous display of color through the rolling hills 9 miles up to Arcadia. Arcadia is another quaint little village along the Lake Shore. It boasts great beaches, cute shops and of course the famous Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course.
We went a little further up M22 and
we decided to try out a little cafe in Elberta, another little lake shore town, called The Lighthouse Cafe. This was a great choice. From the outside it looked like maybe a small "greasy spoon" type place. But we were pleasantly surprised when we entered. The first thing I noticed was how clean the place was. I always check the bathrooms out before I order. I know if the bathrooms are not clean then it is a good possibility that the kitchen isn't either. The bathroom was spotless. I peaked into the kitchen..spotless as well. I mean everything shined.There is even a smoking section for us smokers. Imagine that. There is beautiful mural on the wall painted by the owners mother.
The menu had a lot of great choices. We decided to go with the Special of the day, baked chicken. For $8.95 you get a huge salad, 4 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and dinner roll. It was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try their homemade soups.
