PUBLISHERS NOTE

My family and I love going to NautiMi on the River year round. We love the atmosphere. Whether enjoying a sweet treat or grabbing dinner from one of the food trucks that cycled through this summer, we always found a spot outside to relax and enjoy the benefits of the county life here in Livingston County. 

It is great to have a local store to pop in to and grab a Michigan made gift to give friends on their birthday or as a hostess gift. We also take advantage of their kayak rentals in the summer to get our family out on the lakes.
