Very tiny, very magical, and very diverse (politically speaking, that is)... we like to rent a boat on the lake for $11 and hour, and then have something cold to drink on the porch of the Black Dog Shoppe; you can even hang out with the black dog. It's a little slice of Mayberry, but in the woods! There are great hiking trails nearby, too.
