When you stay with us here at The Settlers Inn, you can walk right across the street to the local farmers market in Bingham Park. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll find homemade baked goods, handcrafted items for the home, fresh flowers and items for children like handmade hair bows. Take a little time to buy local, get to know the vendors and have some fun shopping.
