Went here on a whim on the way to Peekskill and I was not disappointed, great metal, great jazz, great digs, great prices. Dude at the counter, (Jim?) was super friendly, super helpful. Found some real gems and for sure will be back on the regular.

Kevin is a phenomenal outdoorsman whose experience, extensive knowledge, and professionalism were…read moreevident throughout the winter hiking / snoeshoeing experience I did with a small group he led in the Catskills last weekend. I signed up for a day-long excursion to Slide Mountain. For a reasonable fee: I was picked up & dropped off at a convenient location and provided with all the outdoor gear I needed for the trip, i.e. snowshoes, walking poles, microspikes and crampons. The group was small - 4 of us total - which made for a more chummy experience. I love the outdoors and grew up camping in the summertime- but wanted to whet my appetite for snow sports and outdoor winter activities. This is perfect for a fit, active person who likes the outdoors and wants to try different things out before committing to purchasing equipment. Having the proper gear prior to these excursions is crucial and owning it can become expensive. This is a happy medium where you can try things out before making the commitment. If you get a good group dynamic, you can end up with built-in hiking buds, which is a huge bonus :) I cannot recommend Gear To Go Outfitters enough for renting outdoor gear and especially for their guided trips. I think this will be the first of the many and have definitely opened up an entire world of outdoor winter activities for me!

Upon reading this review, the owner proceeded to call me at my work upset and actually did admit…read morethat they were wrong and they were the ones that made a mistake but then, instead of saying he was sorry that we had to deal with such an inconvenience on our trip, he proceed to do the following: 1. Told me he had found out where I work and told me he will proceed to go to all of my company's Yelp pages and threatened to make up false ratings. 2. Called me names on the phone and refused to let me talk. 3. And actually, accused me of stealing stakes (that were never actually given to me) and ended up charging me MORE than the original rental. (which I will try to dispute) 4. Threatened to sue me for writing the yelp review... Told me that he is a lawyer and will sue me for everything. I've never had a business owner act so unprofessionally and in such an undignified manner. I would have gladly updated this review with a positive if he had approached this in a fair, polite manner. Instead, he insulted, threatened and even charged me more money because he had the ability to. He used the excuse of "damaged items" (btw, one of our tents came with a hole patched with scotch tape), and claimed we stole stakes from the tents. When I told him that we never received stakes, he flippantly told me "Well you signed the delivery papers, it's not my problem! Why don't you look around harder, check your car!" ... we had never received stakes. He then proceeded to charge me $163 for the "stolen" stakes. I am glad I had the thought to record the entire phone conversation. I only wish Yelp had an option to post the recording... There are many other places to rent your tents from, save yourself the time, money, and after-trip stress. They are thieves...

Best in the Valley - And It's Not Even Close…read more Just made my second trip to Valley Greens with my wife (a high school special education teacher) and our two ESA Golden Retrievers, Ella and Thor--and once again, they absolutely delivered. I make the trip all the way from Shelton, CT to Peekskill, NY just to come here, and every mile is worth it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is spot on. With its retro-inspired charm and the feel of an old-school general store, Valley Greens strikes the perfect balance between nostalgic comfort and modern convenience. I came back specifically for their kief, and I still can't get over the top-tier quality, fantastic pricing, and how genuinely friendly and knowledgeable the staff is. You just don't find this kind of consistency and care everywhere. Valley Greens has made a forever loyal customer out of me. My family and I will now be making bi-weekly or monthly trips to this shop from Shelton--because when you find a place this good, you stick with it. If you're anywhere within driving distance, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it. --Alexander DeMarco
