The candles come in all sizes and fragrances imaginable, so there are endless options to choose from. While the quality of the candles is certainly there, the price is reflective of that. Although they do have occasional sales, I personally find them to be generally high priced, but I'm sure there are other people that find their prices to be okay. That said, I do recommend stopping in for the experience and judging for yourself. There is plenty of parking, handicapped accessable and it has clean public restrooms. If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

The name I drew (again) asked for candles and since I'm 2800 miles from home I made the trek to Bernsrdston to see if I could score some something different from the offerings back in Nevada. The helpful and courteous staff was right there when I needed assistance. Lord of scents and styles for your candle shopping. Seriously, check out the clearance area. I was blown away by the great prices! I knocked out my Christmas shopping in one stop. Highly recommended.

I have been shopping Cottage Melts online for going on two years and have watched the evolution to…read moretheir brick and mortar location with great excitement. Not only are their melts long lasting, they create some of the best scent combinations of any company I have found. Their dedication to creating quality products and excellent customer service has made me a life long customer and fan. I love their melts, candles, lotions and car diffusers to the point I almost exclusively gift from their shop for holidays. When creating their store they have been incredibly intentional in curating a space that not only will showcase their growing range of products but has also given opportunity to other small, local businesses to sell their products. This commitment to their new community and giving space to help others succeed is incredibly admirable. Definitely worth a drive to see them - smell their products in person - and I promise you will fall in love with Cottage Melts too!

This is a destination in itself and definitely worth making the trip for, especially if you have…read morekids. There are so many activities that you can easily spend a few hours here. We visited during their "Christmas in July" event, so Santa was there, which the kids loved. There's a sand play area, a kids' toy section, a Christmas area, scents, fudge, ice cream, pizza, an animatronic show with seating, Build-A-Bear, ornaments, and flowers everywhere you look. There really is something for everyone. Just know that pretty much everything here is expensive. We usually treat it more as a place to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere rather than shop. Even without buying much, it's still a fun experience. The whole place has a fun, festive atmosphere and is easy to wander around. The only thing that surprised me was how many grouchy people we ran into. Come on people, you're surrounded by flowers, ice cream, and Christmas decorations in July. Crack a smile and enjoy yourselves. Overall, this is a wonderful place for families and one I'd happily come back to.

I will say, this is an experience that you should visit if you're in the area. Also a great place…read moreto buy gifts because they have everything and anything for all people. I would imagine this place would be HELL if you dropped a tab of acid because there are so many hidden rooms that are extremely detailed, such as the christmas area. There's animatronics (I'll leave it at that) in the, what feels like, food court area. It's very nostalgic to a mall, serving food, fudge, and drinks with a huge seating area. There's a build a bear, make your own candles, and even a sand area! It's a fun little trip and the outside garden area is very peaceful. The bricks on the floor include employees of 10+ years on them, which I thought was thoughtful.

I've attended events and readings here, and each experience has been thoughtful, well held, and genuinely uplifting. There's a beautiful balance of insight and reflection without ever feeling overwhelming. What truly stands out is the sense of community. Whether you're there for an event or just stopping in, this is a space to shop at your own pace, while offering connection, learning and growth. I always leave feeling lighter and more centered. Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for something meaningful.

However, we went at the end of September, and the place was horribly overrun with wasps. They're literally everywhere. It made it hard to sit and want to enjoy your drink.

It wasn't a bad visit, but I would probably try other places prior to suggesting coming back here.
