We love going into Howse's Fudge shop when we visit Harbor Springs each summer while on vacation. Their fudge is excellent and the smells amazing. What I love the most is seeing the whole family at work in the shop. There are kids hard at work from age 5 through teen agers each doing a job that suits their age level. This takes me back to the days of old where many large families worked together in the family business and we are glad that Howse's is so successful. There is always a number of people in the shop purchasing the yummy treats which is a good sign. We tried the chocolate covered blue berry and raspberries this year which were to die for. I highly recommend this guilty pleasure.

What an amazing place we happened to find. It was the hidden gem of our entire 3 week road trip. We just happened to be passing through the area with the plans of driving through the tunnel of trees (right up the road) when we were giving the recommendation to stop and see this place. Man are we glad we did! They had and have everything to see and do all in one location. Amazing Visit! So this place has a winery, a brewery, a restaurant, indoor and outdoor patio seating, trail walks, trail horse buggy rides, pumpkin patch, flower garden, fish ponds, family photo opportunites, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin slingshot, pumpkin basketball, gourd launchers at targets for prizes, gourd and potato baseball, potato golf, freshly made hot cider doughnuts, and an amazing gift shop.... It literally has it all. Keep in mind it is located on a beautiful piece of property. It was well maintained, family owned, friendly staff and on and on. We literally spent more than half a day here goofing around, which was perfect for my family. I'm sure all the locals of this area love and support this place. It allowed the opportunity for my kids to get out of the car, let them use up some energy, and as a family we all legitimately a ton of fun together. My son loved shooting the gourd slingshot or launchers at the targets. My wife and daughter loved the pumpkin bowling for prizes, my other daughter loved feeding the fish and I loved the BEER! Beer and wine were both very tasty. Several options depending on what you like. Food was fresh and nicely plated. We spent so much unexpected time here that we wound up staying in the area for another night before getting back on the road to our next adventure. Thank You for an amazing stop and a wonderful family owned property. Best of luck in the future as business grows. Cheers

Enjoy our new large outdoor Biergarten for food, beer, wine and hard cider! Wander the farm with a beer and take in our 200 acres of nature. The kids will love the gnome house hunt through the woods, the pumpkin patch in the fall and the playground and farm animals are a must as well!!

Love feeding the bass out in the pond. Slinging giant squash using a giant sling shot. The animals are fun for the kids. Great place to bring the sleds for the kids and the parents can sit inside tasting some divine beverages.

This was a great way to spend about 3 hours! A beautiful drive through the forest with breathtaking views of Lake MI. Once you get to Cross Village you must stop at Leggs Inn for lunch. Plan to wait, but grab a drink and head out to the garden. Beautiful flowers and view of the water.
