The marina is in a lovely park and sandy beach. Restrooms and showers are adequate but are to be remodeled we heard. (No laundry)
The village is absolutely beautiful! Lots of shops and restaurants. There are 2 Bike rentals very close too. There is a nearby store that sells beer, wine and some supplies as well as homemade soups but grocery is about a mile outside the downtown area. Great place!

As stated, within walking distance of downtown area. Docks are in decent shape, and are floating. The showers and baths are in very good condition. Thre is a distance to the baths, it is not close. I also do not see laundry facilites. Gas and pump out available, but not diesel. Hours for the gas dock seem to close at 6pm, (other than Friday and Saturday), whch is a bit earlier than other DNR facilites we have seen in the area. We were in the last slip and it did get a bit rocky while docked. Across from the way was a great park and beach which was dog friendly, like the marina.

Walking distance to almost every shop and restaurant. Slips are in good shape, but it can be almost a half mile walk to the bathrooms from the furthest slips. Bathhouse is average. Clean, but on the small side and dim lighting. Transient slips go quickly beginning April 15.

A good stop for anyone. Docks in good shape, staff helpful. One block from downtown with several good restaurants; we ate at Boons Pub - worth a visit for their meatloaf. Would definitely go back.
