"“I try to get up to the Granary every December for a pre-holiday getaway,” says Abra Berens, executive chef at Granor Farm in Three Oaks, Michigan, and the James Beard Award-nominated author of Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables. “I turn my phone off and go for long, snowy walks in one of the most beautiful places on earth.” The minimalist two-bedroom cottage is nestled on the tip of Leelanau County in northern Michigan. “We like staying here because there is some land to hike; it is well-designed but not overly fussy, so I don't feel compelled to photograph every angle; and it’s just down the road from Fischer's Happy Hour Tavern, a 1920s roadhouse and one of my favorite places to pony up to the bar.”" - Ashlea Halpern
