Good souvenirs with mediocre donuts. The Feed Bag makes fresh donuts. “Fresh Donuts” I expected deliciousness and warm….. nope. Tasted like a grocery store donut that’s been sitting in a plastic container for a few weeks. 3 stars because I did see them make the donuts fresh….

The gift shop was one of the stops we made while on a horse-drawn carriage tour of the island.The gift shop was nice as they had some souvenirs that we purchased as part of our weekend on the island.We also picked up a couple of tasty donuts to munch on before we picked up another carriage to complete the second segment of our Island tour.The reason for four stars is because the restrooms were atrocious. Sparing any gory details, all they needed was regular cleaning attention by the staff.

Look, are these the best donuts in the universe? No.But the ones I had were soft and moist on the inside, just a teeny bit crispy on the edges of the outside, and well-smothered in frosting. For a quick snack in the middle of a carriage ride in the middle of nowhere, they were pretty good and held me over until we got back into town for lunch. This is, after all, a concession stand, not a gourmet donut shop.We also got hot tea with our donuts, for which they poured the requested amount of water and then let us pick out the tea bags we wanted. There were only two options, regular black tea and Earl Grey. It was fine, the water was good and hot and didn't have any kind of a funny aftertaste. My family was concerned that we wouldn't be allowed to bring our drinks on the three-horse carriage, and while we ended up finishing them before we boarded, we did see other people bring their drinks onto the ride. I wouldn't bring a full cup on tea on - the lids are kind of flimsy and have a big opening and would definitely spill from the rocking of the carriage if the cup was full - but if you've got a bit left and want to bring it with you, I don't think it'd be a concern.

We enjoyed this little shopping area, nice restrooms, and little selection of gift shops, fudge shop, a few snack areas, table and chairs, and a few historical items to visit while waiting for carriages if you are on the carriage tour.

Mostly just a couple tourist trap-y stores flanked by two food stands. I have to admit one of their names got a laugh out of me: The Feed Bag. A bit on the nose. The other foodstand was nondescript and I didn't pay it much attention.The "carriage museum" is more like a bunch of old black and white photos with no captions or descriptions, and a bunch of horseshoe tools and other paraphernalia, also without captions or descriptions. There are a handful of old time carriages, but color me unimpressed. The island's single hearse carriage is kept here on display. Now that was pretty cool!

We've enjoyed previous visits here before, but this trip was interesting...be prepared to be crammed close together on the carriage tour taking you up to Surrey Hill, and not having a choice on where you are seated in the carriage. We were the second ones to board the carriage and forced into a back middle row. The Murdicks was closed, we were misrouted on a carriage tour leaving from Surrey Hill that was delayed, and then refused to take us back to our starting point downtown. We ended up being dumped out in the pouring rain to navigate the steep hill adjacent to the Governor's Mansion to get back downtown to catch our ferry in time. The 1.5 hour tour estimate was way off.

Great stop for the tour, But you don't need to buy anything here that you can't buy on the main island or ashore. The butterfly 🦋 exhibit was good, but that's not why you are on the tour. The blacksmith was good but that's not the tour. Get out there!

We enjoyed poking around. There are a couple of gift shops with the usual stuff, and a couple of snack bars. There was one spot with donuts that were awesome! Pretty grounds to walk around as well.

Standard tourist gift shop. Knick knacks and t-shirts. Everything you can find at any other gift shop in northern Michigan, just with a different name on it.

Decent spot to use the restrooms and get a snack. Nothing to go out of your way and visit.

Attempted to place an order at one of the eateries here and the employee was very rude. After requesting but one item from the menu she was quick to cash me out before I even completed my order. Requesting other items directly from the menu she was at a loss to find them and even told me they were not available.

Really friendly staff and vacation prices on souvenirs of course but it was to be expected. The store was really clean and she was really friendly with a great sense of humor.

It was a short stop during a horse and buggy tour, but this is a very interesting place with lots of historical displays.

The ladies at Aunt Mary's are the best. Highly recommend the blueberry donut and the white with sprinkles (The sprinkles are soft and taste like lemon)
