So many options, so little time! Here is where you can decide what places you must try while on vacation.
Jake's Place
Everyone in your party will find something they love at Jake's. Even your pup! They are super family/dog friendly and have a sweet patio with colorful umbrellas that just make lake-life feel even more amazing than usual. Take your boat (they have lots of dock parking!) and get ready for a delicious burger and onion rings you will want to come back for! Our favorite burger is the Remi Burger.
