The size of this charming spot does limit its collection somewhat, but it's still rather well curated. Optimal for a quick browse and find a summer read or nice gift for a friend or to kill a bit of time on a cloudy lake day. I found quality gifts for family in my two visits here--both in the popular or literary book vein as well as local interest books. The charm of shopping for books in a log cabin or perusing a sale rack on the deck is just off the charts. The selection is good but a bit limited by the spot's real estate. I personally kind of wish so much of the store wasn't dedicated to kid's books/gifts--the setting feels more appropriate to the mature literature--but I can understand the choice. Owner is very friendly and happy to chat about book recs or the region. Only weekend hours during the off season, and will be closing for the winter but opening again for the spring.

I came here with my mom on my first visit 20 minutes before closing time. Since we knew our time here was limited, we asked for help for very specific areas of the store, and we were each guided to the sections we wanted. Besides hardcover books, there are several sections with softcover books including (but not limited to) mysteries and current fiction. There are also chairs in various locations (at least upstairs). Some sections also have better magazines (for example, the cookbook section has a selection of "Gourmet" magazines). This is a great place for a bibliophile to get lost for a few hours. I intend to do just that next time I'm here.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, largely thanks to the genuinely kind-natured staff who clearly love what they do and make you feel right at home. One of my favorite things about visiting is just how cozy the space is. They have these wonderful couches that invite you to sit down, relax, and get lost in a good book for a while before deciding what to take home. It's the perfect, relaxed environment for book lovers to browse and unwind. We also were informed by the staff that they have an online store, and we are so excited to start using it!

The top floor is for kids which I did visit this trip and there's so many varieties for kids of all different ages. The bottom floor of course is for adults and teens and they have such a selection for all ages and genres. They also have items that you can buy if you love reading as much as I do then definitely go on in because again from the outside you would not think it was anything big on the inside.

The inventory is not what I would call extensive, but they have a more-than-adequate selection in a wide variety of categories. There should be something for everyone here. They also carry a nice selection of children's products and a small, but fun, selection of puzzles and games. Parking is not an issue here, there is plenty of street parking right in front of the store and nearby.

When I passed by in the morning it wasn't open, but even then there were books outside just calling out to be perused. So upon my return, some 7 hours later, I stopped in. Easy parking out front. It's huge. Books for days. These are used books, and many are in great shape, and priced accordingly. This isn't the cheapest used bookstore I've come across, but I think it's the most extensive. I wasn't looking for anything specific so didn't ask for anything. But I spent time in the cookbook and travel book sections. Huge. So many to choose from. Many decades of choices, including recent, especially important in the travel book section. I found the pricing a little higher than I expected, but I picked up some books anyway. Used bookstores keep books relevant and out of landfills both. Gotta love that.
