I'm on a mission to explore every indie bookstore possible, so while recently visiting family in…read morethe Adirondacks, a quick Google search had me adding The Book Cabin to my list to explore. The Bookstore Passport book was honestly the best concept ever and I'm lowkey bummed to have not discovered it at any other indie bookstores to date! Even if your TBR is full, you still need to stop here to grab this for all your future bookstore runs. I will admit this is not the most accessible location, but it's 100% authentically Adirondack. You follow the main road around the lake until you curve around a corner that puts you right in front of the parking lot entrance, so be ready for it to sneak up on you. The parking lot is gravel with a gravel trail curving up the hill to where the cabin itself is, so that may be hard for some to navigate with the incline and uneven path. However it's so quaint and peaceful once up there! The cabin has a wraparound porch with some goodies on it, including sale items! I found two books off the sale cart to come home with me (combined cost was less than a brand new book!), and also checked out a little of the bookish travel mugs before actually heading inside through the wooden screen door (again, quintessential Adirondack feature). The interior of the store is maximized to every possible opportunity even though it's only one actual room. Bookshelves line every wall, and a few mini shelves create a couple of aisles. There's a great section dedicated to books either set in the area or by authors from the area, as well as an extensive fiction selection. There's also nonfiction, YA, and kids, plus some puzzles and crafts. Their bookish selection is extensive, more than just bags and stickers - I saw travel mugs and coffee cups, coasters, bookmarks, candles, small shelf trinkets, and more. Plus they offer blind dates with a book! I'm always a sucker for those so of course I picked one up. And then right by the checkout, the glorious bookstore passport! I was instantly obsessed when I saw it, then incredibly disappointed that I hadn't seen this in the dozens of other indie bookstores I've been to. You best believe I will be hyping it up to every bookseller I know! When I first got there, a mom & son were browsing as well, then it was just me for a bit. The shopkeeper was quietly doing her own thing, which honestly I prefer - if I'm looking for something specific I'll ask, but places like this are meant for browsing and taking your time. She was sweet when it was time to checkout, and it looks like they have a loyalty program that could be nice for locals. Overall a great find tucked at the base of the Adirondacks and outside of the craziness of the outlets or the village of Lake George!

Cute new bookstore in an area sadly bereft of the same--generally have to drive down to Saratoga…read morefor any kind of literary browsing and shopping up here. The size of this charming spot does limit its collection somewhat, but it's still rather well curated. Optimal for a quick browse and find a summer read or nice gift for a friend or to kill a bit of time on a cloudy lake day. I found quality gifts for family in my two visits here--both in the popular or literary book vein as well as local interest books. The charm of shopping for books in a log cabin or perusing a sale rack on the deck is just off the charts. The selection is good but a bit limited by the spot's real estate. I personally kind of wish so much of the store wasn't dedicated to kid's books/gifts--the setting feels more appropriate to the mature literature--but I can understand the choice. Owner is very friendly and happy to chat about book recs or the region. Only weekend hours during the off season, and will be closing for the winter but opening again for the spring.

Apparently, they have steep ditches but they fill in with snow and when they sand the roads the ditches all but disappear. The car behind me got stuck too. Luckily, it wasn't too severe. But with no phone service, AAA is useless. Thankfully, the Lumber Mill had a working phone. That being said, inside we found several craft vendors including a woman making paper beads, a soap/lotion maker, a paper card maker, a candle maker, and a metal forge worker. We made a custom molded candle together, which was fun, and also put together a bracelet. The staff people were very friendly... perhaps because they took pity on the plight of our car. I can't say I would drive an hour from our house just to visit here, but if you are in the area (or perhaps stuck in a ditch and can't leave) then this is a fun place to explore for a little while.

Simply put: This is a small and AMAZING shop that is wholly worth the visit if you're in the…read moreAdirondacks. It's difficult to sum up exactly what this place is like, but suffice to say that "Martin's Lumber" may just be the most humble name for it. More complexly put: The two owners, Gary and Wini are woodworkers, jewelry makers, metal fabricators, stained glass artists, and they also dabble in light masonry. In essence, they're ARTISANS, who treat all materials with the highest regard, and they make BEAUTIFUL work, no mater the medium. Most of their products are sourced from their property and the surrounding area, and they take great care and pride in their work. You can get custom made pieces, or purchase raw materials to build your own at home. Lastly if you're looking for friendly folks that love to talk about their craft and help get your own projects off the ground, this is the place to go. Take a beautiful drive past the blue line and find your way to their shop!

You can spot them as they are mass produced and shiny. But if you look carefully, you can find some hidden gems, and at really good prices : like a functioning pendulum clock from 1913 that was $200, or this glass juicer I've been searching for forever at $5. I also found some wooden games (new made to look old) for $8-12. my mother in law and I spent at least half an hour here looking at everything. Its nicely displayed and not like some other antique stores that just has piles and piles of stuff. Worth a visit and then chill at the bakery next door!
