The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. The pizza is delicious and the wine is very good. My wife likes White Caps and I like the Petite Sirah. We loved sitting outdoors with the live entertainment.

Very unique experience in Michigan city. The pier and lighthouse is off of Michigan city Beach, where are you have a neat experience to go out on the pier to the lighthouse. Lotta fishing off of the pier as well. When we were there we were not able to go inside the lighthouse so I’m not sure there’s access for the public.

This is one of the best libraries I’ve ever visited. For a small town they have a lot available. There is a large section for children and they have many programs for the children and for adults. Service is friendly. A very good place to visit.

We visited while staying in Chesterton. The staff was really nice and friendly. We found a railroad lantern to add to our collection. They had a great number of nice antiques. It took us an hour to browse quickly; you could easily spend longer.
