This is a beautiful marina in a very nice setting on Round Lake. Hal the Harbormaster is super friendly and a wealth of local knowledge. If you want some info, talk to Hal.
We walked the town and found the "mushroom houses". These were builtin the early 1900's by Earl Young who built a number of irregual stone houses with wave-like rooflines. Even the modern buildings in this area have the stone work down in irregular patterns; few straight lines in this town.
Then there are the boat houses. Some of these are larger than the actual cottages and then some are just plain big. Look at the size of the boats in the boat houses.
We took the dinghy out a number of times to look at the mansions and explore a bit. What we did not do, which we will save for next time we visit the area, is go onto Lake Charlevoix other than by dinghy. It is a large lake and has some nice scenery that we missed. After another weather day because of high winds we are planning to go to Leland on Thursday morning.
