Great pizza-they are fairly new on the scene, but high quality ingredients and awesome crust. Although there is a long table to eat at, I would suggest ordering to take out or having a slice before seeing a movie at The Vickers Theater down the street. Closed Tuesday. 15 minutes from the Tin Pug!

This place just opened this past spring (2018). You can buy a day pass for yoga classes, the use of an Olympic size pool, hot tub, steam room, etc. It's a gym, is what I am trying to say!!! Very good facilities and somewhere to go to get your workout if you don't feel like swimming across the lake!

Parks & Nature

This is the lake you are on if you are staying with us! The association beach is great for swimming, with a floating dock, chairs, a swing set and a covered picnic area. Please do not use the kayaks on the rack on the beach-ours are closer to the cottage (see instructions in house!). I like to kayak or paddleboard TO the beach from our kayak rack.
