Visiting Vermont and drove thru this little town. Quaint store fronts and looked friendly. So, I…read morestopped in a few places. I would NEVER recommend anyone to go here. Darling clothes and odds and ends. The service, however, was dismal. The woman working there (not sure if owner?) did not even acknowledge me as I entered the tiny little place. I looked at some items (thinking of buying for myself and nieces). Tried to catch her attention and she, instead ignored me to wait on someone else. I am guessing she believed that middle-aged blonde woman was more her type of customer. When I stated I would move in an effort to give them room, she simply said "GOOD!" That said all I needed to know, if you know what I mean. She did not consider me her type of clientele, I guess. Fortunately, there are plenty of shops in Middlebury and Shelburne and Burlington.

They travel throughout Asia to come back to Vermont and sell artifacts that are just simply exquisite! You can find cool fashion jewelry and very reasonable prices, beautifully handmade clothing, wallets, purses and other kinds of accessories! I purchased a delicious lemongrass scented accent candle for $15. Beat that, Yankee Candle! And, I also came home with a new Buddha statue to keep the apartment serene and peaceful. There's just great stuff here that you should stop in, check it out, or at least say hi to Greg, because he is ONE of the coolest guys you could possibly ever meet!

Awesome General Store!…read more True VT and nicely updated GS. LGS is the heart of Lincoln and it changed hands a couple of years ago. The new owners have done a wonderful job restoring the architecture and updating the store. They scratch make sammies each day and just found that Sandy who used to own the Bobcat pub (Bristol) a few years ago makes burgers on Fridays here :). I used to eat one after my hikes nearby and GTK since Bobcat closed permanently a few weeks ago! LGS has a bit of everything, bevies, caps, groceries, candles, cleaning, fishing supplies etc., and decent gift section too. It's a great stop for the residents, visiting explorers and hikers too as the Long Trail and Mt Abe are close-by. When I visited many residents and kids were coming and going. I saw a young boy putting out ca$h for his candy which was so cute. Sharon behind the counter was friendly and helpful. With many old VT disappearing, I was thrilled to find LGS thriving! Parking is on the side of the store. Enjoy!

This is the only store in our little town. It has just about anything we ever need... from soup to…read morenuts, as they say. Homemade sandwiches, wraps, soups, chili, and more... The desserts are always luscious! They have fresh coffee, Glen's Pride bread made by our local baker who lives just down the road. In Summer... fresh vegetables, strawberries, and everything we could need for a picnic or barbecue! A nice selection of wines and beer, lots of snack items from chips to ice cream bars! The only thing missing is the kitchen sink!

Not only is this a gorgeous art gallery, but it's a very unique AirBnB as well! I mean, how often…read moredo you get to stay in a studio suite located INSIDE an art gallery?? I felt like I was in Night at the Museum after business hours haha!! The hostess, Lee Ann and her husband were the sweetest, most considerate hosts I've ever had!! Not only were they extremely thorough, communicative, and available, but they made me feel so welcome and at home! They even had a basket full of goodies waiting for me - including some incredible varieties of homemade muffins that were some of the best I've ever had! The suite is located just off to the side inside the actual art gallery but there's plenty of privacy - you can enter through the gallery or through your own private back door so it's totally not an issue. The suite itself was immaculate and HUGE!! Especially the bathroom!! Complete with a dining table, couch and little sink/microwave/fridge area. The WiFi worked well - no issues. And the TV even had nice cable available. But there's so much to keep you busy in the area I hardly watched it. There's a perfect porch off the suite with patio seating, a grill, and incredible views of the mountains! I was there in early October and was just a tad too early for peak fall colors - but the color was starting to come in. I imagine it's positively breathtaking at peak fall color!! And they had some hummingbird feeders outside the windows which was such a joy!! The grounds are extensive - there's a huge field outback with a river at the base of the mountains - tons of birds chirping! The gallery is also centrally located in proximity to tons of ski areas and lovely towns/cities like Montpellier, Woodstock, Killington, etc. Great location!! The suite is very handicap accessible- even the bathroom and shower - very well set up for it. Parking is in their private gravel lot outside the gallery. The art work is just lovely as well and made by the hosts - so talented!! I had such an awesome experience- can't say enough good stuff about it! I will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!

This shop was so fun and quaint, the perfect place to pick up a gift for someone special…read more Like many gift shops, there are treasures thoughtfully displayed every which way, up and down and over in this charming shop. Towels, art, jewelry, pottery, stuff for kids, stuff for plant lovers, stuff for cat lovers, dog lovers, you name it, if you can't find something to buy in this shop for yourself or someone else, I'd be shocked. On top of that, the back porch has a WONDERFUL view of the town waterfall. The porch is screened in, but it won't trouble your photos any. IF you're near Middlebury, stop in for a bit and see the waterfall and the many items they offer.

The interior store is full of beautiful Vermont items that are very tasteful. After playing our round of mini golf, I headed for my second visit to the porta potty behind their store. It was VERY clean.. but unfortunately my car key went flying down. After a slight nervous breakdown, the owners returned to the store with a big magnet and got the key out in seconds. He was very nice and cleaned/sanitized it for me. I felt like a dumb a$$... but was SO thankful for them. We would return for another round the next time we visit.... I just recommend leaving your car keys outside!

Whilst everyone here has been SUPER friendly so far, I'd give it to the staff here as being *the* friendliest, chirpiest, and nicest people I've come across during this visit. It's obvious that there is excitement in the air due to the sheer number of people visiting as well as the once-in-a-lifetime event *in* this particular area BUT you've got to give to them for showing it in the sweetest way possible. They carry quite a bit of trinkets and locally made goods and make some of their own as well. I just wanted something simple to commemorate this visit and left with a bag they made for the eclipse, a sticker, and as always, a fridge magnet to add to the collection. Definitely stop by if you're in this part of town!

It's been in business for several decades and is cherished by the locals. That tells me everything. If you are headed up to ski or explore, stop here. You'll probably see me stuffing my face on one of their pastries. (We are lucky enough to travel here four times a winter). See you there!

We entered through a door with a giant bear next to it for photo opps, and into the part with all kinds of fun Vermont (maple) treats, drinks, and other snacks. Then there was main floor, upstairs, and downstairs to see. Missed downstairs since I heard that was mostly furniture, and I spent about 2.5 hours scouring all the rest. Prices were all over the place, as is so often the case with antique malls. Bargains and Zingers abounded. Because I bought so many smaller items, it overwhelmed the young man doing the check out, and it soon before they were closing. He did not know how to prioritize, and unlike the ladies that opened the 2nd register, he did not go over all that I bought, confirming the details, which frustrated me, because I'm pretty sure I got overcharged for a couple things. So, make note, and add up stuff yourself if you are buying more than a handful of items. The staff sprinkled throughout to help open cases to show you merch were all very friendly and eager to help. If you're antiquing through New England, I definitely think this should be on your list!

I commend them for the love and thought they put into each and every bouquet, boutonniere, corsage and arrangement. My guest were completely floored with the attention to detail.
