These restaurants, cafés, and stores are all within 45 minutes of our venues by car. For those who are staying at a campground, cabin, or efficiency unit, we have included general stores—local places where you can pick up basic staples and other items—and local full-service grocery stores.
Check for hours of operation before you make your plans. This is the shoulder season, and hours become shorter.
