Worlds Largest Weathervane

Reviewed By rob2rob - Montague, Michigan

I remember the days of old when Dick Jancek was up in Ted tree service bucket truck welding on the weather vane. Dick was instrumental in building the Worlds largest weather vane. I'm glad that this beauty sits in the heart of Montague. Everyone should enjoy a ice cream at Twisters and walk around the weather vane. I will always remember Dick when I think of the weather vane, that man was a hoot.

White River Light Station Museum

Reviewed By luv2trvlRedondoBeach - Redondo Beach, California

We were disappointed as the entire light house is not accessible, and the rooms are not set up as they were originally used, but rather a museum. The host is using the lighthouse as his home. One is paying to climb the staircase, view some photographs, and look out toward Lake Michigan.

Bygone Basics

Go back to simpler times. A true Farm-to Table Immersion! Experience for yourself the culinary heritage skills of your choosing. Enjoy hearty food and beverages of an heirloom cuisine, while hands-on experiencing soap making, bread making, home canning, making jams and jellies, pies. Learn how these skills were made using old tools and seeing how today's tools can cut your effort to a serious minimum. Gather eggs or harvest your produce in the gardens if you wish. Or choose to let us take care of that (and leave the kitchen clean-up to us!) This is all undertaken in a 143 year old home that harkens back to old-style farmhouse living. An absolutely fabulous experience while gaining skills you will use to reduce food costs, ensure the safety of your foods, and re-live a piece of heritage that is fast becoming lost. Also a heritage recipe bakery. Here, you can order your grandma's peach pie...and get it! Complete with a "pantry" for purchase of baked goods, jams/jellies, heritage soaps and candles. An on-site Bed & Breakfast is available for your convenience as well: Amanda's Bequest - A heritage immersion farm-stay B & B (with all the comforts you seek!).

Spent a few hours with Jade and Val learning how to can asparagus. Val's passion for this bygone technique is so evident. She is a great teacher & so enthusiastic. This is the second class I've taken there and will go back again.

Reviewed By M M - Livonia, Michigan

I thought this might be a quick and cheesy tourist trap but to my astonishment, it was extremely worthwhile. Coming from the Detroit area, it reminded me of a mini-Greenfield Village, except BETTER. Very educational, hands-on, interesting and authentic. We have a teen boy and even he liked it. Don't miss if you are in the area.

We were camping in the area and had to decide what do with a gray, cloudy day. We came here and had a good time. Our family includes two toddlers. The place was surprisingly big with a lot to entertain two small children. I think...MoreThank you for the feedback! We hope you and your family come back to enjoy the farm again!

This was a little bit secluded, but had parking close to the beach and, unlike the state parks, allowed dogs on the beach.

Fetch Brewing Company

Reviewed By Brandy H

We stopped in on our way back to Holland from a day visit to Ludington. First time in Whitehall. Love the historical vibe of the brewery, which is in a building that was originally a bank. There is an open vault with a seating area and games set out. A loft with seating as well. The beer was great, the staff were cool, and the patrons were really friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the experience!

Meinert Park

Reviewed By phobian - Missouri

My wife and I stumbled by chance upon this park and beach while we were exploring during our August 2016 vacation in Michigan. We fell in love with this particular spot as it was close to where we were staying and was never overly crowded with people. You could go, park easily, take a short walk through the sand to a nice spot on the beach and not be surrounded by a sea of people. The breeze, the waves, the gulls and the sunshine provided relaxation every time we went. Would highly recommend this area for anyone who prefers a little more quiet time than some of the more popular beaches will provide!

Happy Mohawk Canoe Livery

Reviewed By peoplesjourney - Michigan

Professional and helpful is how we thought of the staff. Our two kids took kayaks and we rode in a canoe. The river is unbelievably beautiful, we felt like we were in a Disney ride. But the river does have a lot of logs poking out and one tipped us over! We tried to scramble to the shore to right ourselves and sunk hip deep in mud! It was definitely an adventure, but we weren't prepared for the challenges of the course. Even our kids who are very familiar with kayaking for caught in the brush a few times.

Getaway Charters

Reviewed By mjohnstone1 - Peoria IL

Fishing with Dan or his Son is always a pleasure. I have caught many fish with them and you know they know what they are doing when the come recommended by another local captain(Ken Clark... Another Awesome Captain but, different fishing!) . Their boat is hands down one of the nicest big water boats I have ever been on in the world (I have fished a lot of places). Restroom aboard even comfy for the big guys like me... just in case you need it. Crew had us on fish as soon as we were in 100+ ft of water. Pleasant to have as company the entire trip and totally accommodating to our group. Seriously one of the best charters I have ever been on. sorry for the delay in the review,. I have been out with the guys twice and I was meaning to do this a long time ago....
