The area also features a wide range of restaurants and shops to enjoy and is perfect for relaxing and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, raising a family, or enjoying the next phase of life.  If you need to take a vacation from this piece of paradise, we are only 1.5 hours from Grand Rapids and Chicago!
