Gap Mercantile was amazing!

Our stay at Gap Mercantile was amazing. The unique experience of staying in what was once part of a general store was like going back in time, but of course it had all the modern amenities. The owners were absolutely wonderful. They were helpful throughout the stay, and we ended up spending a couple of hours talking to them and hanging out in the store because they were just great people. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area!

A walk back in time

We loved it. There was an air of nostalgia of times gone by. We got to meet the owners and shop their country store. We will do this again.

Quick boys trip with my sons

My two boys (12 and 10) and I loved the cottage. They enjoyed exploring all of the decor and books and played some music on the piano as well which gave a nice atmosphere! It is a quiet place after the sun goes down and we enjoyed a family movie. The next morning the boys had fun playing checkers on the front porch of the store while we had breakfast and waited to take a farm tour. Perhaps the best part of the cottage are Lynna and Gary - you couldn’t ask for friendlier people to welcome you and talk to during your stay! Highly recommend a stay at the cottage and visit to the store if you are in the area.
