The diesel price on 10 August was $4.02/gallon. Since the last time I visited, nice improvements have been made to the restroom, boater's lounge, and showers.

Cute town!! Go to the Ali Bar - it is full of treasures!

The facilities were fine. They left the laundry room open for us as we got in close to closing time. There is one washer & one dryer. $1.25 per machine. Which I thought is cheap compared to other nearby stops. Bathroom & showers were clean.

Nice marina, friendly staff, good facilities, including a properly configured WiFi system that works all the way out at the boat slips. Covered patio area with tables and BBQ grills. Walking distance to several restaurants, a hardware store, a Dollar General, and a supermarket. This marina and the neighboring one are protected from the lake by a metal sea wall. We were here during thunderstorms and the boats were rocking, but there was no storm surge.

Great docks, facilities and people. Short walk up the hill to a fantastic hardware store. Also Friday nights in the park they have concerts for the family.

The harbor and marina are easily accessed a d well protected. The staff are friendly, outgoing, attentive and knowledgeable. The Harbormaster is a gem and makes sure your needs are met. The provide a shuttle to the market but there are also shops and restaurants in walking distance. The docks are solid with adequate room.

Nice harbor, dock and facilities. The staff on duty while we were there were among the best encountered anywhere.

Short walk into town for groceries, hardware, restaurants. Nice stop for an overnight or a few days.

Pro: Safe, sheltered harbor. Good docks. Good fuel prices. Well-trained and attentive staff. Lovely town. Short walk to shopping, laundry, restaurants.

Con: State Harbor of Refuge. Our reserved slip was occupied and they could not make that boat move. So we ended up on the fuel dock overnight.

Conclusion: A well-run marina. The staff took us to urgent care in Sandusky, MI at no charge!

On the north end of the harbor access to slips and fuel dock (diesel $2.4/gallon) are easy with minimum of 8 feet water. Facilities are efficient and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. In these COVID times only the Stone Lodge and Blue Water Bar and Grille are open. We enjoyed our dinner at the latter. Within walking distance, Willis' Marketplace meets grocery and beverage needs.

Came here for the Vintage Boat, Trailer and Car Show last year. FABULOUS hospitality! The marina facilities are kept spanky, clean. Everyone involved was wonderful. The town is small but has a great pub and fun shops as well as a hardware store all within walking distance. Fun to see the campers and cars. Great time had by all! We will come back often when we are in the area and for this year's show.. (If it happens.) Thank you
