Purpose of this blog

The purpose of this blog is to give some of our reflections and our ideas about fun things to do while staying at Montague Pied a Terre. Not that you would need to add diversions to a marvelous place to relax, to read, to hike, to snowshoe, to swim, to enjoy the sun. But having spent time in this area lends itself well to providing information regarding sights and enjoyable places to visit. Have fun with your exploration.

White Lake Lighthouse

Located on the south side of the channel. Same directions as Lakeside Inn except when you get to the stop sign, head straight ahead. You will go through a very old beach association where there is still a very small post office where they will hand stamp your post card. The lighthouse is now a museum and the beach beyond is a wonderful walk.

Lakeside Inn

Located on the south side of White Lake. Kind of an old fashioned place where they serve dinner. Good food and resonable pricing. Just follow the road next to the south shore of White Lake and when you get to the stop sign across from the golf course, turn right.

Claybanks Pottery

Great place in the woods for a pottery shop. Head north from the cottage untill you hit Webster Rd. Take Webster west ... it turns into Lakeshore Dr and Claybanks is a mile or two north.

Pentwater, MI

This is a fun place to visit, albeit a bit touristy. The Brown Bear has good burgers. The walk to the beach from downtown is fun. Lots of quaint old homes in the village. About a half hours drive from the cottage.

Pekadylls - Whitehall

Wonderful spot for an ice cream cone later in the evening. Or they even serve lunch and dinner on a beautiful pation in the back.

Blue Lake Music Camp

This is a music camp that welcomes young musicians for the summer to study and perform. They also have a wonderful classical music station (90.3FM) that we listen to a lot up there.
