Haley GefellFinally got a chance to come here! Welcoming atmosphere! Michelle is wonderful and super friendly! Support local businesses! Love my matching brackets for my mom and I! Bonus-I didn’t even know I got a sticker til I got in the car! To some- you’d think its silly to get excited over. But for me it’s the little things in life! Already have it on my camping journal! Can not wait to come back!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Eileen Brennan RandallI ordered t-shirts with various logos as Christmas gifts for my family. They loved the style, quality, and each loved the logo that had chosen for them. When the package arrived it contained a hand written note and a Life in the ADK sticker which is now on my computer. Found the store online but hope to visit in person this summer.

Kathy carranzaReceived my sweatshirt with front pocket from Life in the ADK today. The packaging took me back to yesteryears with a neatly folded tied with twine sweatshirt and hand written note thanking me for my purchase. It also included a Life in the ADK sticker. I am very impressed. Next time I am in Old Forge I will definitely stop into the store. Thank you for your stellar customer service!
