It is well shaded with native forest trees, has a finewater frontage on Little Traverse Bay, on the south side, while the always quietwaters of the placid Harbor on the north front afford the best and safest ofboating in all weathers.

It is distinctivelya Presbyterian resort, but not exclusive. It is already a village of over one hundredcottages, which number will be largely increased this year. Its people are conserv-ative, and seek to make the summer life of the place restful and healthful.

It is fitted out with allthe approved conveniences and luxuries now demande
