Why do people visit antique stores?…read more I suppose there are a number of reasons, and for me, there are at least two: I never know what I might find that I may or may not have known I needed; and, I can get my steps in by walking through to (possibly) find that elusive item. There is a great selection at The Village Hound, the people are helpful and friendly, and there is adequate parking for your visit. Go there. They may have just what you want!

Agree with the first review. We were initially drawn in by the antiques, where we found some very…read moreinteresting things. Lots of antique china, furniture and other things. But what we really liked was what is affectionately known as the "The Dog Room". Lots of toys, doggie sweaters and shirts, life jackets and countless other items for sale. The owner was very nice to talk with, very clearly a dog person. We also got to meet her dog, who was just as friendly. We ended up buying our pup a new, snazzy collar and a toy fuzzy trout (yes, trout), which he loves! Great little find and we enjoyed our visit!

Driven past here many times but this was the first time I was able to stop during store hours…read more They have a myriad of items from collectibles to furniture (including outdoor furniture). This is one of the few such shops that I have visited that truly has a great balance between contents; not too much of any one type of item but enough of all items. I found their prices to be reasonable and their merchandise to be in good condition. The store itself is arranged well and is not cluttered. There are 3 floors and I didn't see an elevator so fyi on that. I read the other reviews and I will say that when I entered the shop, the gentleman in the front did not address me or even look up for that matter. I did greet him but he did not respond nor did he acknowledge my presence. Instead of jumping to a negative conclusion, I assumed that perhaps he couldn't hear well and went about my shopping. There was a lady in the store as well who was working on a piece of furniture. She seemed kind and she and I exchanged pleasantries. The only note I would make about a shopkeeper failing to acknowledge and make a shopper feel welcome is that it truly does make it less likely that the shopper will ask questions; especially if they are on the fence about an item. Such was the case for me today. However, it didn't effect my opinion of the shop overall and it will not keep me from coming back. Other notable points: wide range of items from vintage to what appeared to be newer items in the Chippy Cottage section. Good selection of vintage/antique tools, primitive furnishings, dinnerware, lighting, unique pieces, ironwork, collectible glassware, and so much more. This is most definitely a place you should visit if you are looking for well selected, well kempt, and reasonably priced vintage and primitive finds. Like I said, I will be back!
