I arrived at the Ol' Packing House in Eustis under rather unusual circumstances. You see, I am a ghost, and unfortunately, I had become permanently attached to a piece of antique furniture. Thus, I had no choice but to visit the shop and investigate the source of my earthly entanglement. What I discovered was a charming collection of furniture and curiosities at wonderfully reasonable prices. The selection was pretty decent, with plenty of pieces to browse through, and the staff were absolutely fantastic--friendly, helpful, and far less frightened of me than most living people tend to be. I will say, however, that the interior was hotter than the deepest chamber of the underworld. Thankfully, they had fans running and water available, which helped keep both the living and the dead from melting into the floorboards. Naturally, I ended up purchasing a piece of furniture of my own. Unfortunately, it came with a rather unpleasant surprise: another ghost was haunting it. I was forced to consult a priest, prepare the proper incense, and conduct a full spiritual removal ceremony. After several hours of chanting, negotiating, and threatening to call upon forces far older than mankind, we finally discovered that the malevolent spirit wanted only $3.75. A bargain, really. All things considered, the Ol' Packing House is well worth visiting. The prices are excellent, the staff are wonderful, and there is a good variety of furniture waiting to be discovered. Just bring a bottle of water, prepare for the heat, and be sure to inspect any antique furniture carefully. You never know what--or who--may be included in the purchase price. read more

Traveled from Tampa to visit this place because of fees that I've seen on TikTok. It's a huge old house that's been turned into an antique extravaganza. Lots of various booths and great stuff to choose from. Brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. Be prepared because it is not air conditioned so highly recommend bringing a fan. The lady working there was very nice. And I did find a few things. Be sure to visit the barbecue and peanut guy out front when you leave. Best peanuts I think I've ever had. read more

The Ol' Packing House in Umatilla is a historic rustic barn with two floors that features a wide range of antiques and collectibles. The first to tip says its "Umatilla's best kept secret" well I'm not that close to the going on's in Umatilla so I'll keep to the subject at hand. The staff here is very friendly - and the woman tending the register is a realist (a person who tends to view or represent things as they really are) - as I was reaching into my pocket to retrieve my mask she remarked masks are optional if you feel you can practice social distancing (yes ma'am I can). Then there's the old man with the walker in the back room marked "old toy room" he's definitely a gentleman, I gave home plenty of leeway as he exited the room as I approached, he yelled in passing he could do better on the prices if I found something I liked (I still regret not buying something from him I think that gesture may have put a smile on his face and a few bucks in his tattered pockets) I commented on his vast collection of Buddy L toys and he yelled back they are from a era when things were built to last, for all I know he might actually be Buddy L himself. I like this shop it's a historic venue filled with things from days gone by - it's refreshing to find a place that isn't filling it's shelves with lots garage sale or thrift store merchandise. I did see some tubberware but I think those pieces should be antiques by now my mother had tubberware parties when I was a young child long before the pamper chef was born. I enjoyed the time I spent here and I did buy a "bushel basket" for 5 bucks, not the we needed it but because it was cool and in like new condition and nostalgic. I don't know this may absolutely be the best kept secret in Umatilla... read more

A very good antique store. No A/C so wear something cool in the summer. Lots of fans, great selection, always changing. We enjoyed browsing and buying. read more

This place is an unexpected gem. The only reason I dropped a star is because it's " antique". In this area ,I can get most offerings they had " second hand". Don't get me wrong,it's a fun place but I personally don't need to buy anything there. read more

I travel a lot and stop at lots of antique malls and shops. the Ol Packing House is far above about 90% of them in neatness and quality. The vendors are always changing and upgrading their booth. The manager is very knowledgeable about everything and stays on top to make sure the place is top notch. There is no clutter and everything is displayed very attractive. it's a must stop in Central Florida read more

My absolute favorite antique store, and I have visited a lot of them. I always walk away feeling like I've made some amazing scores, especially with the prices. Everything from a 1944 solid mahogany headboard and footboard, lamps, pictures, old books...the list goes on, and I never walk away empty-handed! Highly, highly recommended - just set aside a good chunk of time because it will take you a while to look through everything. read more

This place has a lot of nice things. We picked up a dresser and a little green house. They even help you load your large purchases. The only negative for me was it was not disclosed that there is a 3% processing fee for using a credit card. read more
