Food Scene

Thelmas is very close to Calley Dreaming. It is a cash only restaurant, however there is an ATM inside if you do not have cash. We love their breakfast. They have a great patio when weather allows. Favorites Molly's- Pecan French toast, side of grits, bacon and eggs. Or Ortega Omlet Seth's- Famous Hobo. Its basically a huge scramble.

We absolutely love everything Broadway cafe has to offer. Walking distance from Calley Dreaming. It is owned by a former Marine and his family. They are EXTREMELY pet friendly. There is a nice outdoor patio. It is located on a busy street, but its still quite peaceful. Love their burgers. We haven't personally tried breakfast; however Seth's parents loved breakfast. There is a small selection of bottled beer. Favorites Molly's- Large Oreo Shakes!No whip cream I don't like sharing. Bacon Avocado burger add jalepenos. Or Tuna melt Seth- Molly's oreo shake.. lol Bacon Cheeseburger, extra patty, no veggies.

Its hidden well and not a place that stands out. We found this gem on a visit where everything was jam packed with over 1 hour waits. OCI serves German food, and a slight "south of the border" section, and a few German beers on tap. We've only had breakfast here. But it may be our FAVORITE spot. The portions are large. We like to have it as our first breakfast in town, the leftovers feed us one more morning. You can also log onto their website for a 15-20% coupon towards food. Favorites (we share these favorites) Molly's- Apple Waffle-its cakey, but crisp, tons of sweet cinnamon apples and a lightly sweet whipped cream, Seth's- Old Country Inn Super scramble

Its a fine dining feeling restaurant. The servers are great. The food was fabulous. We've been only once, but a great choice for a little more intimate darker ambiance but the dinner. They are family friendly, but the vibe is more adult. Favorites Molly- Steak Salad, ask if they have any dessert specials! If they have monkey bread, get it! Seth- Braised Short ribs

Plan on a good wait. This place is always packed, much like all the places in The Village area. Its your typical pizza place. If you like your pizza to have ooey gooey cheese you'll love this place. They do not serve dessert, however your receipt is good for 10% off the North Pole Fudge and Ice Cream shop next door. Favorites Molly- Antipasto Salad, of course pizza! Seth- Beer, he will share my salad, and PIZZA!

Seth's- Beer, Asian Wings, Pretzels, BREAD PUDDING (we usually take our dessert to go, but don't miss out on it!)

Parks & Nature

We love this little trail for sledding! Also a quick little hike with the pups. Its not a very busy trail. We hike a bit up, and let the pups run free.

The closest quick access spot to the lake. We take the pups here for a quick little run. Just park near the school area. It is a busy street so be careful. Not the best fishing, but the pups love this beach.
