My wife and I visited XC Ski Hq after deciding to learn to ski. Bob Frye was very helpful in working with us to get us outfitted for this adventure. He sold us great skis and boots (perfectly fitted) and connected us with an instructor to get us started. Our instructor Erin helped us to at first stand on skis and then to move in a straight line without falling. Over the last two years we have indeed learned to skate on snow. What a wonderful experience! It has transformed our view of Michigan winters. Prior to learning to ski we dreaded the arrival of winter, now we can’t wait until it snows. In addition to fantastically well-groomed trails what makes this place special is the wonderful staff. They are always friendly and cheerful. They were extremely helpful with the selection of proper sets of layers for different conditions as well as answering questions about waxing. The lodge makes an outing there something special. The ambiance of the Stone Turtle café fits so well with cross country skiing. Starting the day with a great cup of coffee before hitting the trails followed by a perfect panini for lunch and finally a beer or glass of wine in front of the large fireplace after skiing makes for a perfect winter day. I can’t recommend XC Ski Hq highly enough. It’s a real Michigan treasure.

Beautiful beach area and large shallow swimming area. Beautiful tall trees for shade if desired. Clean bathhouse and restrooms. There was even a store to pick up snacks, ice, etc. for those with a boat to anchor outside the swimming area and walk to the store!

Absolutely the best place to go for a wonderful selection of beers and wines! I discovered this shop a few years ago and have been a regular customer since. What a nice surprise when I noticed a favorite Malbec (Monte Oton ~$10) on the shelf, I hadn’t seen it for several years in my regular specialty store downstate. John assured me that he’d do his best in the future to order anything I might be interested in. There is a vast choice of beers with a very healthy variety from Michigan (love to keep it “local!”). Be prepared to be overwhelmed, the store is packed floor to ceiling, but John and his staff will help you find exactly what you want.
