There is so much stuff there that I have to stop in more than once a visit to see if I missed something. There's fun stuff, camp stuff and campy stuff plus a bunch of Saranac Lake and ADK themed things to buy as trip mementos. I don't always see something to buy, but I always look forward to checking in the next visit b/c the merch changes.

It's one of those tiny places that packs a lot of stuff into it. The people were friendly, but this isn't a cheap souvenir shop.

The store has rooms upstairs and downstairs. If you are looking for higher end gift or something pretty for your home, this is a surprising shop to find something special. It definitely feels like a boutique that would be in downtown Saratoga Springs or even NYC, not a country road in the Adirondack region. The staff was friendly but not pushy. My mom and I browsed through, enjoying all the pillows, wall art, kitchen items, and even a kids toys/clothing/decor section. We were able to find a few nice gifts and picked up some soap and lip balm for ourselves.
