Neat little store. A bit of everything from fishing to breakfast. Gentleman behind the counter (Robert) was friendly and informative. Very clean. The perfect country store.

Amazing little store with a good variety of things. I think the prices are reasonable. Always kind when we come in and store well stocked. Lovely owners. Great store. 10/10 would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

We rolled into Green Valley Lake to do some inter tubing. But after a bit of a drive we all had to pee. The public bathroom on the other side of the road is locked and the sign right out front of the General Store says that the restrooms are for customers only. As we're all getting a little desperate but trying to act cool, Brad from the Back Dog next door walks out of the store, sees our situation and offers his bathrooms to us. I just don't get this. It seems like common, human decency to let folks use the restroom. You create goodwill and many times folks are so relieved and grateful that they'll buy something on the way out. Any guesses where we all bought snacks after inter tubing?

Had a wonderful experience here! We were visiting when a snow storm hit and the staff went above and beyond helping us find the right size tire chains for our car and even suggested someone to help put them on. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!

Went on a trip this weekend to Green Valley Lake and went to this store to buy some souvenirs. We were looking at the t-shirts and asked the cashier who was a tall guy with glasses, how much the shirts are and he said "19.99-24.99" and then I went to pick up a specific shirt, gray tee with green lettering, asked him how much it was and he proceeded to looking a paper they had set up by the register and replied "that shirt is 19.99". And when I took the shirt to the register, the same person told me "okay 39.99 is your total" and I was very, very confused. At first, I thought he was trying to charge me for both my shirt and my boyfriend's, and so I clarified I was only paying for one and he again stated that it was 39.99 plus tax. And i stated how he had informed us the shirts were $19.99 and he said "oh well I meant 39.99" This whole interaction made us feel quite uncomfortable so we left the store very confused. A day after our friend went down to the store and sure enough another worker informed him the shirts are $19.99. This made us very upset. We are not sure if the guy was mistaken or if he was trying to overcharge us on purpose but we definitely that this person should learn from that situation because he left a bad impression with us.

Good general store with friendly staff. You're able to find anything from fishing gear to milk here.

Very limited overpriced supplies and really lame hours of operations. The kid I side was most unhelpful too, not sure he even knew where he was himself

I spent a few days in Green Valley Lake at an AirBNB. As much as I love the San Bernardinos, I wasn't a huge fan of this little community. That surprised me. I usually love places that are a little more off the beaten path and isolated, but this community (and the lake it's centered around) just didn't do it for me. That all being said, I was very grateful to find the GVL General Store during my stay. It's really the only place in the area to get grocery-type items, and there was a nice little variety of things to support the community and keep residents and visitors from having to drive down the hill a bit to get some basic essentials. They also had some cute little GVL items (such as little GVL journal/notebook that I picked up), which was a nice little surprise. They key to appreciating this general store is appreciating it for exactly what it is and where it's located. Are you going to find everything you could possibly want? Of course not. But chances are, you'll be able to something that works.

We recently bought a home in the area and decided to check out Green Valley Lake yesterday. However, my Mom forgot to bring a beanie or a headband. She suffered frostbite to her ears years ago, and ever since, she has to be very careful in cold weather. So, we walked into the General Store to quickly purchase a beanie. My Mom tried one on just to make sure it would cover her ears. One of the cashiers (an older woman with red/brown hair) started yelling at us that we cannot try on the hats due to COVID. We completely understood and apologized. There was not a sign or warning in sight that this was not allowed. We have no issue with their rule and said we were sorry. However, she just would not stop berating us. Even after we apologized, she said, "We don't know what you're bringing in here, we can't have you trying on the hats and leaving your 'stuff' everywhere." We again apologized, and she said, "It's just wrong. Just wrong." At that point, I had had enough, and said, "M'am, the commentary is not necessary." We were so put off, we just put the hat back and walked out. At which point she had to get in one last snarky comment and said, "See, and then you don't even buy the hat!" We were fully prepared to buy the hat, but after her rude comments, we had no intention of purchasing anything. We are fully vaxxed and boosted and have ZERO problems with COVID safety and regulations. All we'd ask is that she put up a sign indicating that trying on the hats is prohibited. She didn't need to keep embarrassing us in front of the other customers. Making such snotty and rude comments is just bad business. Absolutely awful customer service. I will never spend a dime in there and will discourage anyone we meet from ever patronizing the place.
