This place can be develop more. Lake Orientalists City should work with the Canterbury Village management and work to develop this place, one of the tourist place.

Down but not out!
After my friend told me today about this place that was christmas themed I had to go since I am a big fan of Frankenmuth. For me it was a simple route : take I-75 north to the joslyn road exit and follow north on it for approx 4 miles. Now the ride in was beautiful with a lake running on the west side of the road. My GPS homed on where I had to turn off but had it not been for my GPS I wouldn't know where to turn since I saw no signs on joslyn road. My GPS said to turn onto joslyn court which is I assume a side route since this path led me to a parking lot and I had to go all around this eastern parking lot to go west and eventually park in the village. Upon entering the village, the decorations were nice, and the grounds were clean. Over all, the village is small but offers a lot of Christmas ornament's, clothing and other things themed. Sadly, their are some buildings that are no longer open and from what I've read and was told by my friend, their used to be a coffee shop and other store's. Yates cider Mills 2nd store has opened here and just like the original Yates cider mill in Rochester hills, the inviting smell of warm donuts and cider meets you at the door. I couldn't pass the cider and the fresh donuts. This Yates also offers ice cream and coffee at another pos spot and my friend and I decided to try the coffee as well. My friend tried a frozen Irish toffee coffee and I choose the hot mocha coffee. Our cashier was a bit scatter brained and had trouble putting the info in the register and once the sale was completed, never told us where to pick up our coffee or what end to stand and wait. My friends Irish toffee was horrible. Tasted very chemically and had little flavor other then that of a plastic bag. My mocha was slightly better but as we both agreed, was boiled water with a slight hint of chocolate flavor. Sad.. Sad. So if you want to visit a unique tucked away village that has interesting little shops , special events and other various things then be sure to stop on by. Be sure to visit the carousel building and the 5 solid colored buildings that are all separately themed inside on the far end of the village. PS: just a heads up ladies to bring paper napkins with you to the ladies room just in case. From what my lady friend said today their wasn't any toilet paper in the public ladies restroom..
