'Rise and Shine Mother-Clucker'! I'm not cursing - this is actually on their coffee cups. :) This cute little place is a hoot! Great breakfast close by. The 'short stack' is two full plate size pancakes. Bananas foster waffles are amazing. Great variety of breakfast options. You will leave with a happy belly!

Food scene
Fantastic dinner option. On the pricey side but if you want to splurge for a special occasion, JB Hook's is hard to beat. Great seafood and other choices and the view of the Lake is second to none!

A short drive and you're on the water. Boathouse is at Village Marina so enjoy views of the Lake, gorgeous sunsets, and beautiful boats. Boathouse has a pool with a swim up bar, live music most weekends in the Summer. Good bar food and fun atmosphere for reasonable prices. My personal favorite drink is the Lake Water. :)

Sightseeing
Worth it. Gorgeous gem of a state park. Great hiking trails.
There are three unique experiences that are worth a visit (the castle and castle views over the Lake, natural bridge and the natural spring with its gorgeous blue green water. Several lookout points for beautiful photos with your peeps. You won't regret the trip and great history at the castle.

Neighborhoods
You can see the dam from the condo patio. Visit the dam, feed the giant catfish, numerous restaurants, bars, shops, tattoo parlors, and other entertainment options. Park the car and walk up and down 'the Strip' in and out of shops. A great time!
