She explained the local terrain and what the fish were hitting in each location. I talked with her for quite a while about fishing and she was not only helpful but very knowledgeable.

Definitely check it out!

My brother and I recently did an Autumn colors trip. Went to New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine…read more On our way back from Maine, we stayed the night in Manchester, VT. Following day, we stopped into this Orvis "outlet" store. Outlet in quotes bc...yeah, not sure what prices are at a regular Orvis store, but prices here...are as you'd expect them to be. Not...outlet store prices lol. Does that take away from the fact that this store is FN INCREDIBLE?!? Not even close. Inside is like a warm cabin or ski lodge. It's so beautiful inside. The layout...perfect. Has an upstairs and downstairs. They have every kind of outdoor clothing you can imagine. Only think I bought tho....a pair of amazing wooly hiking socks haha! And a bag of organic treats for my dogs. OH! There's a sign outside that says all dogs are welcome. I'm telling you, even if I'm like iffy on a store, have mixed feelings or whatever...IF they are nice to dogs and welcome them and even have treats set out for them...to sample haha! The store will almost always get 5 stars from me. When stores like this recognize dogs as our legit family...how can anyone say anything bad about them? The staff was so friendly with my little Alfred too. He's very tiny. 6ish lbs. Made us happy to see a couple of golden retrievers in there at the same time. Dogs are family through and through. Alfred is my child. I don't have human kids. My dogs are my kids. Alfred is my heart and soul. So it truly makes me beyond happy to see stores like this basically encourage you to bring your dogs in. He loves the organic treats too. I probably should have gotten a few bags, but just in case he decided he didn't like them...yorkies can be super picky and weird with their food and treats lol...that's why I just got the one. The prices. Ok so they may be a little steep on most things. However, they have tons of stuff on sale. Good sale prices too for people looking for a deal. Oh! They have a section for dogs too. Clothes, beds, leash's, harnesses, etc. I'm so glad we stopped in here. I love stores like this back east. It has such that "east coast" feeling to it too. Manchester had a lot of skiing in the area. This is a great place to find some gear for that. You seriously can't go wrong here. Even if it's targeted to us tourists lol, I just know a lot of locals go here. Employees are SO friendly too! So welcoming. It's so weird to go to stores these days where employees are so nice bc as we all know...shopping in like 90% of retail stores these days hire ... *this* generation and most of them don't even make eye contact or say hello. So going to stores where they legit welcome you in from the second you walk in...very refreshing. Then checking out, the guy and I had a little conversation about paying our credit card bill haha! Basically, it's cool to have employees at stores that aren't dead in the eyes lol or absolutely robotic. Whoever does the hiring here knows exactly what they are doing. I don't think I ran into any miserable retail employees while in Manchester. Such a delightful little city. If you're in the area, ABSOLUTELY go here. If for anything, just to look around. Such a beautiful beautiful store with some of the friendliest and most helpful employees. Thanks for reading, YelpOrviseeees! Cheers!

We love the Orvis outlet, just a short drive from the flagship store. It showcases discounted Orvis…read moreclothing of all types along with an assortment of other products like fishing gear, jewelry, Vermont maple syrups, things for dogs, etc. We especially enjoy the off-season sales. Last month, for instance we found some really great deals on sweaters ($189 wool sweaters discounted to $74) and shirts. It's not a particularly large store (two levels), but it has a good assortment of clothing for men and women, and bear in mind that because it is an outlet not all sizes in everything will be available. The staff is very courteous and know the stock well. Looking back we have to say that we have never left a visit here without at least a couple of purchases. If you're in the area, do check out the flagship store, but don't forget to come by here as well. We are fans.

But much of their clothing transitions well through the years so it is nice to be able to purchase the clothes at a discount. This is not "fast fashion." And it is especially nice when they are having a sale and you get an additional 20% off the already reduced prices! Staff are always welcoming, friendly, down to earth, and helpful. The transfer of manufacturing from NYC to China is the only thing that stands in the way of that fifth star.

I purchased my first ever Eileen Fisher sweater here last week and couldn't have been more pleased…read morewith the experience. The item itself is a soft, cream, thick turtleneck sweater from their Renew collection, where the company buys back vintage Eileen Fisher pieces then mends, refreshes, and resells them. It's a sustainable and wise approach to retail and a testament to the timeless and well-made quality of their pieces. The store was easy to navigate and the saleswomen were a delight. They made me feel like I was chatting with my longtime girlfriends. As a longtime admirer of the Eileen Fisher brand and company itself, I am happy to say my inaugural shopping experience there in Vermont was everything I'd hoped and more.
