Great business! They were so nice and helpful. But a word of warning--seriously, you have to…read moretransport your own kayaks to the lake on your car. We were looking at the map and had read the website, but thought that we might just have to "transport" (walk) them across the street to the lake, but NO, there is NO lake access at the Outfitters. Luckily we had called that morning to verify and had enough cars to transport all of the kayaks we needed. They said that they aren't allowed to transport them since the state owns the lake. They provide straps and help you get them on your car and strapped on, but pay attention because you'll have to do it yourself when you bring them back. It was a bit challenging but we managed to do it without any of them flying off of our cars. Definitely get there early before your rental time so you can get everything loaded. We put in at Salmon Run and had a great time on Summersville Lake! The store itself has lots of different items you'd need for a day at the lake or camping. Waterproof bags, sandals, cold beverages, snacks, some gift items, local decor.

We rented four kayaks from Lakeside Outfitters today, including two for our children, and honestly,…read morewe were very disappointed. The adult kayaks had no ropes, tie-downs, or any way to secure personal belongings. These weren't just missing a few extras--the kayaks were extremely basic and bare. Without a way to secure your belongings, items can easily fall out of the kayak and be lost in the water. When we asked about ropes or tie-downs, we were told there was nothing available. We made do with what we had, but we shouldn't have had to. For a family renting four kayaks, we expected better. Based on today's experience, we would not use or recommend Lakeside Outfitters to our friends or family. There are other rental shops that can provide a better-equipped experience, so I would strongly recommend looking at those options before renting here.

We recently road-tripped our way from Buffalo NY down to WV for no better reason than to visit a…read morenew place together. We stayed in Bridgeport WV, about a half hour from Weston WV, where Appalachian Oddities is located. Weston WV has many paranormal ties, including a huge historical asylum that dovetails with civil war history, too. So a mystic shop like Appalachian Oddities fits right in here in Weston. When we first walked in, we actually weren't sure if it was a shop or a museum, as the entry vestibule is staged so well as an undead parlor, haha. But we were soon warmly greeted by the shop owner, and welcomed inside to take a look around. Appalachian Oddities is inside a repurposed house that still has much of the original footprint and charm. So each area of the store is in a different room of the house, with lots of peculiar gifts to explore in each space. I ended up purchasing a couple gifts here, one a prayer-style candle for my horror-movie-loving brother that had a Freddy Krueger design on it. I also purchased a necklace for my daughter that had a lovely etched wood raven pendant. Our twelve-year old son went to town here with his Christmas money, and bought a board game called "Pandemic", and a local artist print of a painting of the Joker, Jauqiun Phoenix's rendition. As it turns out, the asylum in Weston is a short-listed film location for the next Joker movie. In addition to the shop, Appalachian Oddities has an escape room attraction. We did not participate in the escape room when we were there, but did see a family going in, and could overhear the screams, scares, and fun coming out of the escape room. I overheard the cost was $25 per person, and the people going through seemed to be having a great time well worth the cost. My husband spent some time chatting with the very friendly owner, who also runs a paranormal enthusiast group out of their meeting space in the back of the store. The group ghost hunts together in the area, and have had some intriguing close encounters! If you live in this area and are interested in paranormal sightings, definitely check out this group. If you are visiting Weston WV for the asylum tour or any of the other area attractions related to the mysterious unknown, (i.e., ghosts, aliens, cryptids, etc.), Appalachian Oddities is a great gift shop stop! Even if ghouls aren't your thing, it is still fun to stop in for a peek at the paranormal.

There's also a pretty nice selection of cute hippie-ish jewelry too. There's also some items that seem a little counter to the eco/environmentally-friendly theme that the store seems to be cultivating. For example some mass produced wallet-type items and fast fashion gloves. They're cute, but felt a little out of place with the natural body products, pot paraphernalia, and bulk spices/herbs. Overall, we like this shop and almost always pop in when we're in the Davis/Thomas/Oakland area for outdoor sports.

I looked up gift stores in the area and stumbled across this gem. When my girlfriend and I went there we were amazed by the amount of things in there. So much stuff to look at. There was everything in there like local crafts, dolls, Jim Shore figures, candles, and seasonal country gifts. This year I was back in Bridgeport and I had to make it a point to go back to Country Peddler. Everything was exactly how I remembered it. Awesome gifts, a great selection, and definately some of the friendliest people I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to. I had a blast walking around buying all sorts of things. I got candles, a lamp, a watering can that looks like a ladybug, and a Jim Shore plant stake with a cardinal on it. Next year I will be back in the Bridgeport area and I without a doubt will be making it a point to go back. I can't say enough good things about this place. You need to see it for yourself.

My husband and I paid $20 for a t-shirt, $24 for a small painting, and $0.50 for candy. The employee carefully wrapped the painting with bubble wrap and a bag.
