Great marina for lake access.
This place isn't even open. They need to remove the listing online so people don't waste their time like I did.
Tried to get a boat repaired here from Tom the boat mechanic. Payed in advance for a new crate engine to be ordered, waited 3 months and he still had the original engine in his shop. Nothing had been done, no engine ordered. Nothing. Ended up taking our original engine back and got it fixed within two days, all that was wrong was a starter and a flywheel. Now we are out about two thousand dollars with no money paid back to compensate for nothing done and time wasted.
Rude as hell. When I called to ask if they have bait.. says it's open However person on phone claimed they're closed??? Glad I didn't drive there and waste my time.
Called one day to ask about open boat dock slips and the lady that answered the phone was rude
They should just close the doors. Barely open during business hours and it used to be a bait shop.....not so much any more....
Docks need repair. Need parking space stickers.

A unique and wonderful Winery in South East Michigan. We were on our way back from a cider mill when we saw this place and just decided to stop, super glad we did. The tasting room is spacious and beautiful with views of the property and horse riding barn. The wines and ciders are very interesting and good. We bought a few bottles and will be coming back for more. Our bartender was super friendly and helpful with all the wines and ciders. She really made the whole experience. The property is gorgeous and you can walk around and interact with some of the horses. Many of them will come right up to you. Highly recommend
Hidden jewel, love the wine and service. Met the owner Bob (one O), super friendly and even gave us a tour of the replica Oval Office. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience! We woke up on Saturday morning & searched for a winery that we had never been to before & this one did not disappoint! Great view & great wine! Bottles were very affordable & I loved that you could watch the horses inside & outside! We will be back!! //@mrsnorthernbelle
Hidden gem. Very quaint. 11 wines and 6 ciders to choose from.

Libby Johnsen was great. I booked a 1/2 hr session and She was very professional and worked to get the knots out of my shoulder. I booked an 1 hr session for 2 weeks later. I highly recommend Essential Massage and Libby Johnsen.
This business is professional, and the massage therapists are good and knowledgeable about what they do. My massage therapist, Libby, is amazing. She listens to me about the areas that I need to work on and then also knows when she is working on tense muscles.
The UI for booking and paperwork was great and the office is cozy and charming. The massage was so helpful for shoulder pain and stress - Janelle was amazing- and I will definitely be back again
Amazing! Calming waiting room & massage rooms. Love the on-line appointment calendar! and the availability of different therapists. Libby is the best!
Jami provided a customized massage and listened closely to what you were looking for. Very professional and she showed concern for making sure she delivered to your expectations. Thank you!
Everyone is wonderful! This place really gets massage therapy and listens to your needs. Lane and Tammy are fantastic but I have heard great things about everyone!
Love it here, left feeling immediate improvement. Jami took amazing care of me, she’s wonderful - looking forward to future visits.
My chiropractor and physical therapist recommended Essential Massage and they were so right. My therapist, Jami, was phenomenal! I have chronic pain in my neck area due to arthritis and stenosis and she took the time to understand my issues. She has healing hands, and I mean that literally. 24 hours after my session I still have much lower pain levels and my range of motion is better than it has been in months. Thank you Jami for such an amazing experience, and I'll see you again next month!
