There's so much to find here! It's easy to get lost in this business. From used books to trading cards to board games to beanie babies this place has amazing stock. The owner is incredibly sweet and has the cutest dog who greets you as you enter(he's very sweet and doesn't bark or bite.) I love the aesthetic of the store. Nothing is too organized and you can pick up and look at everything! The atmosphere is quiet and laid back. It's really nice to see the immense age difference in all their selection. The owner seems to like sheep as there are many stuffed animal sheep lying around and some yard statues outside. It's a sweet place that it's easy to spend hours lost in. read more

Awesome little souvenir shop, art gallery, camping supply store and more all mashed into an old school general store. The person working was happy to share information about the store itself. At the time of my visit, they hadn't even been open a year. So far it's been a hit in the community. Follow their Instagram to see some of the cool things they have for sale. They are constantly getting more stock! The store features an antique oddities type display which was super cool. The decor is fun and really just makes the store what it is. Looking for a souvenir for yourself or a gift to bring home? They have it! Jewelry, art prints, glass art, handmade journals, stickers, Nalgene bottles, hiking backpacks, dog leashes, specialty drinks, bagged coffee, socks, hats, shirts. You name it. You're going to want to stop here! Awesome little shop you wouldn't expect to find in the area. Stop in and shop local!!

The staff is vivacious and warm and make you feel right at home the minute you enter. There was a ferocious guard dog who slept through our visit and occasionally opened an eye to see who might have slipped in during his slumber. No threat at all. The only reason I only gave four stars is because I didn't actually make a purchase and wasn't actively looking for anything in particular.

A pretty large space that occupies the second floor of an old partially renovated hotel. Framed original art and prints of all shapes/sizes adorn the walls. Some shelves have pottery and other crafts. All of it is tasteful. You can pick out artwork or bring your own for matting and framing. The owners are a husband and wife team; I spoke with the husband at length to get a feel for the history of the place. Unfortunately, they will be closing the custom framing part of the business at the end of the year. All work on the walls is 30-50% off until they close.

My husband rode a draft horse named Johnny, and it was spectacular. I don't remember my horse's name, but he was a really good horse. The horses were very well cared for and beautiful. They all seemed happy and were very gentle - they knew what they were doing on the trail which makes you feel more confident. The scenery when you're riding is absolutely spectacular. Be sure to stop along the way and ask your guide to take pictures of you. Safety first, but if you can get videos while you're up at the top of some of the hills, worth all of it. Highly recommend this place, we will definitely come back. In my opinion, the price is completely reasonable. We took the one hour ride, and it was worth every penny and more.
