Ah the good ol' fashioned general store. It's got everything you need for small town Water Valley livin'. Which is good, because apart from the liquor store and the saloon, it's about all there is! But really, what more could you need? It's got a real traditional old west feel to it, but manages to do so in a way that isn't overly cheesy. It's just a bit of authentic western charm to spruce of the experience. This place has all the typical items you'd expect to find at a gas station convenient store, but really embraces it's small town-ness with some local goods, decorations and even local baked cookies. It's a nice stop off on a summer's cruise and a great place to grab an ice cream cone while you take a walk around in the sunshine. read more

See all

Come here for.... the ice-cream!! Normally in a small town you pass the general store and if I see 'ice-cream' listed as one of the selling points on a sign, I assume that they have a freezer with packaged ice-creams in it. Luckily, when visiting the Fallen Timber Meadery someone had mentioned this as a great stop for ice-cream. This is a big store and so you can also get packaged ice-creams if you so choose (and some local gifts like infused olive oils etc from memory) but by the counter there is a freezer of buckets of ice cream! There was probably about eight flavours and I highly recommend the raspberry cheesecake. Big chunks of raspberry and mighty delicious with generous scoops in either a cone or cup. One scoop was $4.50 and two scoops was $6.25 (ish). The sea salt caramel was also super tasty. Highly recommended for dessert after a brunch/lunch at the saloon a few doors down and either pre or post meadery. read more

Great service, great variety of products, and fantastic look--classic false-front wooden building. Loses one star for not being open very late. read more
