Outdoor activities. Lots of arts and craft supplies. Legos. What a gem.

The gallery is bright and well-designed as a showing space for paintings, photographs, pottery and woodworking from local artisans. The owner allows customers to spend time appreciating the gallery without sales pressure. We now bring our pictures and paintings needing framing to Bethel because the combination of frame selection and pricing beats our hometown competition.

I don't often get up to the interior of Maine, but when I do I stop into Peabody Tavern Antiques…read more This is a special store, its wrap around porch pretty inviting with its array of bonafide treasures. And the collection inside is equally enchanting. High quality stuff, reasonably priced, and expertly staged by its proprietor. It also has lots of odd things for those who like to decorate with very unique artifacts from the past. One of my favorite antique places. Certainly a beautiful piece of real estate to artfully feature gems from the past.

Our delivery was 200 miles away but that was not a problem. The delivery crew were fantastic, and Starbird got us a great price for our consigned piano.

This is a review specifically for piano moving services from Starbird. I needed a baby grand piano…read moremoved from NH to Maine. I'd reached out to a bunch of moving companies and the quotes were crazy (one company wanted $2000) or vague ("Sure, we can probably figure out how to move a piano). A friend recommended Starbird and Jill was quick to respond by email and to arrange a date. The moving team were prompt, professional, careful and really great! Moving a piano is completely different to moving a sofa. They have it down to an exact art and it was kind of awesome to watch my piano being carefully padded, wrapped and then placed into the truck. Once at the new address it had to go up two very steep flights of stairs with tight turns and the guys made it happen. Highly recommend as piano movers!
