- Experience lunch at Maggie’s where there’s plenty to look at and daily specials abound. If you’re brave, try the whitefish livers appetizer, a local delicacy
- Head into the Bayfield hills where you will find a variety of orchards and, depending on the time of year, either ready-picked or pick-your own berries and fruit. Take in the views from Blue Vista Farm, visit the Country Store at Erickson’s Orchards or sample local wines at Hauser’s Superior View Farm

- Sit back and relax over a leisurely dinner at our Landmark Restaurant (either a night out for mom and dad or a one-of-a-kind experience for the whole family). Options include a la carte ordering or the signature five-course gourmet meal for a fixed price. The pork chop is a long-time house favorite!
