One of the few surviving five and dime stores, Bachmann's has been an integral part of downtown Central Lake since 1942. The historic building still has its original wood floors and the ornate old vault from when it was a bank. Bachmann's motto is, "If we don't have it, you don't need it!" Name it, you can find it here. Currently owned by the third Bachmann generation, you can tell how much they love their store. Great service, free gift wrapping, and friendly knowledgeable clerks make Bachmann's stand above the rest. Add a great selection of toys, gifts, resort wear, souvenirs, and a legendary penny candy counter--and you have a one-of-a-kind shopping destination!

We were visiting Charlevoix and this was a fun activity. We picked peaches and also did the sunflower trail. Very reasonably priced and the staff was friendly and helpful. They followed all the COVID procedures and we felt completely safe. There is a U-Pick stand outside where you pay and get the bucket, so you don't even have to go in the market.

Adjacent to the beautiful and friendly town of Bellaire. Our family visits weekly. I was intimidated by the trails several years ago since I can easily get "lost in the woods", yet they have been wonderfully marked and a map is available nearly every 1/2 mile or so. Miles and miles of paths to explore. I fell in love with Kensington Metropark and Island Lake State Recreation area in Milford and Brighton, Michigan more than 20 years ago. I thought I couldn't replace those places. I think I have.

This place is awesome!!! The people are so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate our family. Jack King, one of the owner’s sons, took us on a guided tour of the whole orchard. He is the best! We went July 21, 2020, and the cherries and raspberries were plentiful. They also have a very nice store where you can buy all things cherry! My kids loved the cherry soda!!! We also bought doughnuts that were to die for...fried fresh to order!!! Get them topped with cinnamon and sugar!

I dined here for lunch with my wife and 2 kids on July 20, 2020. We were driving to Petosky from Glen Arbor and we were looking for a lunch spot. We sort of just stumbled upon this place by accident and I am so glad we did. This place has a winery and a restaurant in the back and all kinds of nice things to see here. We had a fantastic lunch and even took a homemade cherry pie home. Cherry pie if my absolute fav so i consider myself an expert and this is the very best cherry pie I ever had in my life. I will go out of my way top stop back here again for lunch no question.
