My son and I stopped in and had some awesome treats! The orange cream float is wonderful, and the blueberry cheesecake supreme sundae is amazing, too! Cant wait to get to check out the butterfly house and bug zoo next door sometime!

This is right next to the Butterfly and Bug place. KETTLEWELL'S IS AN ICE CREAM MUST STOP!! OMG, my Reeses Peanut butter cup Flurry was LOADED with chunks of goodness!!! The small is a good size, filled me up. My daughter was disappointed that her nachos were the dip in the cheese cup kind, but the flavors were good. My husband got a pretzel, which took the longest to get. But a wait is worthwhile for freshness. There are covered picnic tables to go sit at to eat your food. And I saw an outhouse nearby.

Good ice cream with good portions. The flurries could be mixed better they were solid vanilla ice cream at the bottom. We go there several times a summer

Great little ice cream shop located right outside Traverse city. Large portions and very cheap. Kids cone + free sprinkles are only $1. Love this place and wish they stayed opened longer

Amazing! Yesterday on Father's Day, as we got out of the vehicle, a baby deer was feet away grazing on grass!! It was a cool experience and made even better with a super cold treat! There was plenty of topping in there with just the right amount of ice cream!
