A lot of the stalls need to focus on making it so you can actually walk into them or not so cluttered you have to dig for anything. Half the stalls, we simply walked by since even though im a size medium/large, I didn't have a prayer of getting into them to look. Towards the end, I walked out and let my husband finish as twisting and digging I twisted my hip and ankle funny. But we always find something. We found these cast iron corn pans yesterday while digging. Needed a cleaning and seasoning, but were in good enough shape to make corn shaped cornbread last night. If you are super thin and don't mind twisting and digging through things, you'll find loads of things. Otherwise, about 1/3-1/2 of the stalls you can't get into depending on your size. Some prices are insane though, like a ripped and stained lace dress for $85 we laughed about, but our corn pans we marveled at our find. Will work great for Christmas cornbread for a crowd as there were three of them buried we found.

Took a vacation day to browse through the store today. So much to look through. 150 dealers, plus 10% Sr discount on Fridays. Very helpful employees. My friend and I both found some beautiful and good deals. Highly recommend this place. Give yourself enough time to enjoy it all.

Fun place to shop with lots of things to discover. When you pick anything out, be prepared for the runners to not leave you alone about taking it up to the front for you. Even if your items are small, not fragile, or you're perfectly content to carry them yourself, they will. not. stop. asking. Even if you get a basket, they will keep asking. Just hand the stuff over the first time and save yourself the trouble.You're in their world at the Shops by the Lake. Just go with it and you'll have a better time.

Something different to see every visit. A number of vendors selling a variety of antiques, collectables, and more. Fun to just browse even if you're not buying. You can lose an hour or two here easily just looking around.

I've been going here since I was a kid and I've always adored it. There's so much to look at and so many things I wish I could buy! The prices have gone up quite a lot over the years but it's sadly the reality of antiquing now.

The facility was pretty much fully occupied by vendors. Shopping was pleasant. Some merchandise could have been better displayed but that is a reflection on the vendors not the management.

Let your imagination loose and they probably have it here. Arts and crafts , furniture , musical instruments , clothing , weaponry , toys , collectables.Whenever I/we are doing room makeovers , this is a must stop.Star rating is a 3 for right in the middle as this place will benefit everyone differently.

I love this place! One of the best antique stores in the area! And they are always having fun events, like "treasure hunts," where you find a coin while shopping and it gets you a percentage off of whatever you buy!

Best shopping place! Changes daily, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Every booth is different. Prices range greatly from one booth to the other- just depends. Staff walks around (blue apron) to take your items to front door you - you get a # to buy when you are done. Been around for many many years. Items range from antiques to modern day to home made.
