Our family has been living on/visiting Washington Island since the 1800s. (Some of their photos are hanging on the walls.) The Island has something for everyone!
Our favorite places near this historic farmhouse include:
- Red Cup Coffeehouse - delicious coffee, food, and cute items for sale
- Fair Isle Books and Gifts - great bookstore with fair trade items
- The Alby - burgers, cheese curds and delicious shakes. YUM!
- Twice Around - the island thrift store, open seasonally and benefiting island organizations/programs
- Kayaking and paddleboarding in Detroit Harbor. If you bring your own, you can launch from the nearby public boat launch at the end of Main Rd.
