I could spend way too much time and money here if given the chance. The ladies that work there/ own the store are another reason this bookshop is fantastic.

I love books probably more than just about anything and during several recent trips to Deep Creek…read moreLake, Swallow Falls, Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, Thomas, and Davis over the past couple of years I happened to stumble upon this cute little bookstore while out and about exploring several different breweries and restaurants in the surrounding areas. So after walking around the downtown area(which is small and quaint) and visiting several of the different specialty shops, local restaurants, cafes, and all of the antique/thrift stores(from whom we purchased a wide variety of new and old books from). I was stoked to see this place after not being in Downtown Oakland since my daughters mothers brother lived right up the street from this place. I know, I know. Haha :) First off, the exterior is very alluring and draws you in and that's what made me and my friend want to enter, look around and purchase as many books as possible because we both love a good bookstore and reading. Though that wouldn't be the case because when I opened the door for us to walk into this establishment we were met at the door by a super rude lady who said we weren't allowed to enter the business unless we had on masks, but not a single business in Oakland had this policy except them. Smh! Welp... You lost my money.

Bear Creek Traders is a must stop each year we visit Deep Creek. I don't always buy something, but…read moreI just love to look around. It's a large store full of clothing (higher end & DCL logo merch), jewelry, household goods, kids/baby stuff & toys, candles, soaps, lotions, bbq supplies, flags, seasonal goods & signs. LOTS of stuff & many aisles to browse. It's located in the plaza with the grocery store so I sometimes even browse twice when I'm in town. Big parking lot for the plaza.

Neat place to stop if you're in the area and looking for something to do…read more You can go into the back, through a door in the storefront, and walk up onto some scaffolding overlooking where the glassware is being made (from 10-2, I think). Watching them was neat, but a little disappointing. Most of them just picked up some glass, heated it, placed it in mold, then maybe fiddled with it by hand for another minute or two, and it was done. I guess I was expecting more artistry. And then to walk back into the store and see those same pieces that they made in 5 minutes selling for $85-$250! Wow. I would have loved to have bought a souvenir or gift for a friend, but apparently I'm not their target demographic. LOL

We saw a few pretty expensive stores, and another one in town that was more affordable but were told to go to Roderick's. It was about 30 minutes E, NE of Oakland but we were so glad we made the visit. Roderick's is in the town of Westernport, which we found easily using Google Maps. The store has so many options spread out over two floors. It's an old building, so naturally the ceiling is low. If you're tall, just watch where you walk. We found a few different La-z-boy options that were perfect for her. Once she picked out the one she wanted from a photo we sent her, they helped us put it in our SUV and we were out of there pretty quickly. I started wandering around looking for pieces for our house that I fell in love with. We'll be back later in the year with a moving truck to buy more, because we are definitely out of their delivery range. Their prices are right on point as well.
