My husband and I shop at this store all the time and we also use their UPS shipping service for our shipping needs. A special thank you to Robin Pawson for going out of your way to make sure my package was delivered to the correct address! We really appreciate that you were quick to correct the address issue and make sure that there were no delays! We will continue to support this store because we know that the staff really cares about their customer service and community. read more

Everything about Mountain Hardware has exceptional. All the employees are friendly, knowledgeable and know where everything is. The owner does A LOT for the community. The selection of plants is fantastic. If they don't have an item, they order it, then call in a couple days to let you know your item is in. read more

I love this place. They have the best plants and flowers. I have had my flowers that I got there come back for the past 4 years. If you need Drano, clippers or bug spray they have it. Usual there no line and they very quick to help you pick out something or check you out. They don't run from their customers like Lowes or Home Depot. Their prices are reasonable and they are very stress free. Chris A must have gone to the wrong store. read more

If you're interested in taking the kid's for snow play, this is the place to go first. Head straight to the counter. Pick up an adventure pass which gives you 24 hour access to park in the area including the Grassy Hollow visitors center which is where we went for snow play. This parking pass is not required for Mountain High resort. read more

Well, I was able to instal without any issues thanks to these dedicated employees!! This was not my first time at this store and have never been disappointed.

We drove to the Wrightwood area to spend a day playing in the snow and I am so glad we visited Mountain Hardware first. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable in pointing us to the right direction of the best places to visit for the day. They gave us a map and I know we would've been lost without them as a resource since I couldn't find clear information online. We bought our parking pass there as well. We didn't buy any hardware items from their store, but I browsed cute souvenirs and noticed a good variety of different things that are essential for visiting the snow. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are visiting Wrightwood for the first time. read more

This is a great little hardware store. We like the wonderful customer service, and the staff always helps us find what we need whenever we're here. When a home repair is in order, Mountain Hardware has a really good selection. There's also some winter gear in the front of the store, and it seemed like they had some nice jackets, gloves, and scarves. We've gotten copies of keys here, items for general repairs, and my husband comes here whenever he needs a referral for a gardener or someone to trim the trees. This is a nice store, and the staff is great. For a small town hardware store, this place can't be beat! read more

The staff are friendly here and the prices seem fair, not one of those places that holds customers hostage and price gauges based having a monopoly or being the sole source in the supply and demand chain of items needed out in the boonies. They have a series of outhouses in the back area, and albeit, outhouses aren't the most appealing bathrooms, at least they have something, which is better than nothing, as a courtesy to visitors (as well as customers who make purchases) who come to the area. Some of the winter snow sports sleds and saucers seemed price on par to what you'd pay for at retain chain sporting good stores, so it's not like what you might expect where some other businesses in the same situation may charge double, triple or more. I feel the owners in that spirit are straight shooters and building long term reputations as a retailer that can be liked and trusted and ultimately be referred to by good reviews that new customers can come here confidently knowing it's a trustworthy, honest and reliable place to visit. read more

Is this place considered a hidden gem? If so am I ruining this secret? Don't care - everyone needs to know about Mountain Hardware! As an semi recent (kinda sorta) implant to Southern California, I never realized that snow was so easily accessible. After scouring some mom groups on Facebook I stumbled across Wrightwood and in the same sentence Mountain Hardware. A hardware store for snow? Absolutely! Mountain Hardware provides daily updates and photos via their Facebook page titled "Wrightwood Snowplay." Complete with pictures, road closure updates, recommendations, chain requirements, etc etc. I was in love with them before we even hit the road. As I pulled up to the Hardware store, you could see the buzz of snow searchers like myself around the store. I didn't really go to the store needing hardware supplies, I was scouting for a few snow items and boy did they deliver. Everything was so thoughtfully displayed making my life so freaking easy. Gloves? Got 'em, they have clearly marked boxes along the wall. Next up snow pants, snow bibs, boots, hats, beanies, sleds, legit everything! They even had snow jackets! The space was small but boy did they utilize every inch of it! Normally I would think that they would be annoyed by us, but everyone was so kind! The cashier kindly gave me the best tips on the best snow play areas and even provided me with a map that he highlighted the best spots and a trash bag as I left the store. Thanks to them my kids and I were able to build amazing memories! Support kind people and small businesses! read more

Left with a bad taste, classic tourist trap bait and switch. Brought back a defective sled, was told by a snarky young dude with long hair "WELL, YOU BROKE IT". Programmatic, robotic answer. NO DUDE IT BROKE on a small twig. Proceed to escalate to the "MGR" Well we don't do returns and will charge you +$20 for the "BETTER" model since I bought the "cheap one". Sorry $20 bucks for a cheaper than cheap piece of offshore plastic is not cheap at all, your bottom line is FAT FAT on those. All issues point to the buyer being at fault, blame, blame blame. MOUNTAIN FOLK, PLEASE. Uh wat? So you admit you sold a shoddy piece in the first place? Yea, fool me once, never twice. I will bring that "better model" from Amazon at $15.99 and not step foot into this tourist trap again. Don't get me started on the port o potties. Yuck... EDIT: I used a Genie called Alibaba and see that those POS are $3.00 a pop (probably even less per more volume). Yes I went there. read more

Consistently rude employees every-time I shop here. They always act like they are to busy talk to coworkers to help.

Mountain Hardware is fantastic. They were friendly and helpful. They had lots of clean bathrooms, even if they were porta-potties. They sold a rugged type of sledding disc that I'd never seen before. And best of all they showed us a great spot where we could take the gang to go play in the snow. We got lots of exercise, had tons of fun and came home exhausted and happy. Perfect! read more

Went to play in the snow with my son for his first time and the people here were amazing. Gave us directions, helpful tips, and were genuinely amazing. We had to buy some things and this place more than earned our business! read more

They are so great here. Really nice and friendly. Nice place to stop in on your way snowboarding or skiing up the mountain.

Took our kids for some snow play and was advised to stop here first. We needed gloves, snow boots, and some sleds. This place has it all and more. Was able to get what we needed along with an adventure pass for $5 and a map of the area. What made this a great experience was Chris, who helped me at the register. Extremely friendly and helpful - took the time to go over the map and pointed out some flat open spots for my family to go to. As it was our first time, he was very patient and answered all my questions. read more

My first time going there to this store and the National Forest. This store was recommended and I stopped. Got the best customer service and the employees are very friendly. They told me exactly what I needed for snow day. Offered me restroom and told me there ain't any up the mountain. Allowed for my son to try on the boots we bought and thank you for giving me a map and the service you provide extremely knowledgeable!!! read more

Great place that had what we needed. We forgot to bring bike locks while camping and this place came had them. Definitely a good place if you need that! read more

Thank you to Mountain Hardware for pointing my family and I in the right direction to take our daughter sledding. We had a great morning. :) We already had all of our gear but we will definitely be buying our snow gear from here in the future. read more

We went up here on March 17th, the owners opened up shop before 8:30am to assist us. The workers were very nice and super helpful. They gave us directions to a great area for snow play and answered all our questions in a helpful and courteous manner. They also recommended a great pizza place in town! Mountain hardware should be your first stop in Wrightwood if you have any questions or if you need or forgot any supplies on you're way up there! Highly recommend!! read more

Great merchandise selection and extremely helpful staff. I have been in the store several times and have always been pleased with my visit.

If I could give it more stars I would! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable! If I need an item and ask where it is they will also walk you to the item . Great service!! read more

Horrible service this morning from "Robin." I arrived right when they opened hoping to purchase tire chains. They told me to take a picture of the tire size. Once inside, I felt interrogated. Robin was very upset I was even there, her tone changed completely. Condescending comments like how did you get here, the 138 is closed and they're only letting residents up the mountain. I told her I was going to Mt. High to snowboard then she was even more snarky. She pretended to check on the tire chains in her book, and it completely appeared as if she lied about not having them. I'm all about supporting small businesses but these people clearly do not like out of towners, especially if their destination is Mt. High. Sorry Mountain Hardware, you were my #1 spot every time I visited Wrightwood but Robin completely changed how I feel about you guys. I'm a Family of 4 and I was very polite as I want to show my kids to be nice to everyone but, don't know what was bothering this woman this morning. read more

Do you need a roto hammer or hiker traction spikes? Well this place has got you covered. If you are a PCT hiker they have some goodies to keep you on trail. If you need hardware related it s or garden it.s they gave that also. Friendly staff and great variety. read more

Mountain Hardware - Flowers for sale - Hardware Stores Near Me - Wrightwood, California

This place has most of what you'll need for some snow fun, but we must've dealt with the same man who got the 1-star reviews from others. Didn't get his name, but what poor customer service from this dude at the register. We came to get tire chains as it had just snowed that morning and we were going up to Angeles National Forest to hang out in the snow.He said he would not sell chains to us unless we were going skiing. We explained that we weren't going skiing but we were still going up to the Mountain High area and wanted them as a precaution. He asked us what size our tires were and we weren't 100% sure. (Were from LA and have literally never needed chains before.) We gave him the make and model of our car thinking it would help him determine what we needed and he slammed a book down at us (with tire sizes?) then said, "I can't help you." I understand that we should have known our tire size, but everyone who stops here is likely out of town and many of us are snow newbies. This didn't make us feel welcome at all. We ended up getting chains from the much friendlier guys at the tire shop across the street who told us exactly where to look to find our tire size. Thanks for nothing to this place!!! Won't come back. read more

This is a great hardware store and/or winter gear store. From sleds, to mittens to maps and even the parking pass needed to ensure your car doesn't get a ticket while sledding. Yes, they have found a way to charge you for parking on Federal land. Isn't that what my taxes are for? Anyway, these guys are super nice, very helpful and don't inflate their prices 200% above market. The best part and what makes us loyal to this place is that every morning, the store surveys all the sledding sites and then posts conditions on their website, a sled hill snow report. They have simply taken it upon themselves to offer this service to us all. Parking is relatively easy, the workers are extremely helpful/friendly and they have just about anything you forgot at home and now need in order to not freeze. Happy sledding! read more

Crazy busy....but prices were reasonable and the guy working there was sooooo nice. Glad we stopped in for directions to the best snow play!

Very busy store. They sold us two sleds for $16 each, and after two trips down the hill one was already toast. We saw several similar sleds abandoned on surrounding roads and hills, so I don't believe we are the only ones with this issue. The staff was very nice and helpful. Directing us with a map to the local snow play places. As other yelpers have mentioned the bathrooms are port-a-potty style and not very clean. I had to coerce my four year old to use it, and we've been to similar potty places while camping. These were exceptionally dirty, hopefully other yelpers will help keep them clean by cleaning up after they are through. read more

We contact this hardware store every time we visit Wrightwood for sledding. They have always been so kind in answering our questions regarding the level of snow, traffic, etc... They have all the snow gear you need at a pretty decent price too. read more

First time visiting Wrightwood CA for snow play. A quick stop at Mountain Hardware was needed to purchase some items for the snow playing. The store was clean and they had everything we needed. The staff (Melissa and Chris) were friendly, helpful and professional. read more

The potties are to the right of the store...outside...in the cold...and....they're...gulp...porta potties. They're dirty and I pee's on my shoe!!!! Stupid porta potties!!! Workers are nice and don't mind that you are using them for their porta potties. I may have needed a screwdriver to secure my bindings though... Still...the only potties around before turning left to get to the Mountain High resort! read more

I spoke to them on the phone twice. Both times they were extremely courteous and informative. It is nice to see a business with great customer service. read more

They are helpful and it seems like they always have what I need. This place truly understands what a small town needs. Wrightwood couldn't function without this place. read more

Best hardware store I've ever been in. Everyone is great. Extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the store, plus know right where everything is located. Hard to believe how great a selection is in this store. If it's not in the store or a size not normally carried, they'll order it for you, it's there on their next delivery day. Then give you a call to let you know your item(s) are in. read more

Very helpful ladies! They really care about their customers. Thank you for all the information about the latest snow fall and the best places to go for snow play. read more

Sweet! I called this place before leaving OC and the guy who answered gave me a snow report! Nice hearing from a local. So the wife and the dog and I headed up here. After exiting the 15, I thought damn I forgot the sled. So I headed here and picked up a decent sled for 8 bucks! Deal! read more

Nice place and nice people went here before to pick up some stuff to fix my snowboard. Took the family out sledding and they have sleds for sale there also. read more

Quite possibly the best experience I have had at a hardware store...ever. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Such a small town feel. This store had everything you could think of, necessary for a mountain stay. Camping equipment, 2 different types of firewood...etc etc. The prices were great. Makes me want to move to Wrightwood, just so I can be a regular at the hardware store. read more

I have relied on Mountain Hardware to help me keep our home, garden, workshop and vehicles functioning for many years. As a small town hardware store they have found the near perfect balance of inventory to service the needs of our community and the visitors they help to welcome to our town. It is our good fortune to have this business to lean on in times of emergency as well as routine maintenance. read more

Fantastic Service, Great apartment and clearly The Hub of the community. Highly recommended

This place has some really unique gift items and GREAT service. Everyone was so helpful. We were able to pick up ant traps and a hummingbird feeder for a gift. They also have maps of the area for hiking, etc. Both practical and interesting. read more
