My girlfriends family has been coming to Inlet and Old Forge for over 50 years…read more Today, while in Old Forge on our yearly trip, we were Christmas shopping. While looking for something in her bag, my girlfriend was crouched down on the sidewalk, outside of Cedar Mountain Mercantile. On the sidewalk, mind you. A woman, who appears to be the owner came outside and asked if she could "help us" with something. At that point we said no, that we were just admiring some of the work. I snapped a picture to send back home to CA, of some Autumn decorations. At that point she says "what is he doing? Is he taking pictures?" I said, "yes I am taking a picture." She then went into a passive aggressive mode and quickly told us that they don't "NORMALLY" allow pictures to be taken. Granted there are NO signs, and this place is in the MIDDLE of a tourist town, AND the stuff they were upset about is in the FRONT YARD, on full display. Anyway, as we are leaving, from the sidewalk I took a few snapshots. From the sidewalk. Well, at this point she came literally running out of the shop, yelling, "SIR! Really?! We DO NOT ALLOW PICTURES!". I explained to her that I was taking pictures of their lovely work to send back to my family, as we have been on the fence about purchasing some of the yard ghosts and decorations for Halloween. Needless to say, she was not happy with that, and she continued. At this point, we clearly did not make the purchase, and we headed back to our families camp. Here's my advice to the folks at Cedar Mountain Mercantile... leave this business if you do not like people admiring your work without buying or have a problem with "tourists". No one is stealing your ideas, and if we were, we certainly don't need to go to Old Forge and take pictures of YOUR stuff to do so. First of all, most of your stuff is available at the shops to the left and the right of you, and second, it's people like myself and our families that allow you guys to stay in business. If you are THAT miserable, then quit, do something else, or hire decent people. The funniest and saddest part about all of this is, we were in this same shop yesterday spending our hard earned money. Money that will never be spent again in this shop. You can check this place out on your own if you like, but I highly recommend one of the shops to the left or the right of this building as the owners and folks there were and are far more welcoming, friendly, and happy to have the business, year after year. We LOVE Old Forge, and the ADK, but we do NOT love Cedar Mountain Mercantile.

I've been coming up to Old Forge for the past 5 years and my husband has always purchased a couple…read morehundred dollars worth of their pictures to place in his multiple offices. Today we stopped by, while my husband was inside shopping I was outside with my my two young kids who were in a stroller (they have stairs to enter the building), I took a picture of one of their products I liked and wanted to show someone to see if they'd like me to purchase it for them. The women working there (hopefully not the owner) came out and asked me not to take pictures of their products which I said okay and respected her wishes. My husband came out and we walked to the store next door. As I was waiting outside, looking on my phone and waiting for him to look, the lady came outside for a "smoke break" and stood right infront of the product as if she was blocking me from taking a picture. I couldn't help but laugh because I seriously wasn't even taking a picture from the store next door. She then took the next step to start turning around the flowers in the front yard away from where I was. When we walked back past the shop they were all put back. As a business owner myself, this is the most unprofessional yet, completely hilarious situation EVER. There are photos of your product on facebook! Not to mention that they are placed in the front yard on a busy street for anyone to snap a picture of. If I were to "steal" your idea, I don't need to visit your store to do so. I really hope this was just an isolated incident of an employee having a bad day and not the owner who felt this was a professional approach to this situation. Anyways, I didn't mind she asked me not to take a picture, it was the fact that she came outside and had to be immature about it. Unfortunately, I will be telling people to avoid their shop. We have a lot of friends and family who own property up here and visit often and we don't support a business that would act that way.

One of the items we fell in love with was a large framed canvas to hang over her sofa. Unfortunately, all three pieces had visible damage. We asked the cashier if we could receive a discount being there weren't any additional undamaged pieces. Not expecting much, we were pleasantly surprised when the manager visited and offered to take 50% off with the condition it would be a final sale. My cousin purchased the painting and we did our best to conceal the damage to the frame before hanging it. It really is a perfect addition to her home! We also located a really pretty lamp during our light fixture search that matches her picture frame beautifully. Finally, we picked out some odds and ends and were able to find most of what she needed over the course of two shopping trips. The selection of merchandise is good and the customer service is great. I recommend shopping here when searching for home decor.
