Carriage House Cafe

This is our favorite brunch spot, the daily strata special is always delicious. We're also having our welcome drinks in the bar upstairs, The Loft.

Robert H. Treman State Park

We think this is the best nearby spot for hiking, but it also has a wide open swimming area in the summer!
