Parks & Nature
The nature preserve that borders our property. More of a "nature walk" than a "hike," but it's gorgeous. A good place to go for a run.

Essentials
An old school butcher and gourmet food store, they also sell soft serve ice cream in the summer and fill up growlers (you can buy a growler there or there are several on the bar cart in the living room to use!). Famous for their free range turkeys in the fall. For us, a visit to the house isn't complete without a cowboy ribeye.

Entertainment & Activities
Local winery. You can do wine tasting here, but I recommend just going in and buying a bottle. They'll open it and give you glasses, you can drink it sitting by the lake or walking among the vines. They also do jazz on some saturday nights in the summer.
