This place is magical. It's like stepping into the north pole. Set in an idyllic little river front town that seems to have been stopped in time (in the best sense). When covid isn't happening, they have carolers, hot cider, and other activities during the Christmas season. Beautiful, unique decorations and ornaments. Military themed specialty ornaments as well as custom ornaments are available.
I recommend making reservations at the Blue Owl to eat, and planning time to shop and check out all the little specialty shops. Perfect place to find unique gifts while having a unique shopping experience. Perfect for a day with the family or a shopping trip with the girls.
The owners are very proud very nice people. If you're going to spend your money I recommend you shop small and shop local. And this is the perfect place to do this. Everything that makes the Midwest unique is packed into this...

But that’s fine there’s a lot more friendly and welcoming shops there to visit and spend our money...
