The Book Cabin

The book cabin is absolutely adorable! The owner is incredibly kind and nice! I could absolutely spend half the day outside reading on her swing bench! Inside is really cute and although it’s small, she carried a wide selection. I will definitely be going back each time I visit lake George

was in lake george for the weekend and wanted to go to a book store and found this on google maps. the store is quaint but has a variety of books. they have a rack full of “blind book dates” where the book is a mystery- so cool, i should’ve gotten one!! the owner was inside and she was very nice and friendly. definitely want to come back whenever i visit next time.

This is a little gem of a bookstore! And I mean that literally; it’s super small. The first things to greet you on the porch will be a sale rack of books and some cozy Adirondack chairs (when I went, the sale was 30% off). The merchandise inside is displayed tastefully and with every intention of maximizing the limited space available. Despite its size, I was walking back and forth in-front of the fiction section for at least 30 minutes. The selection of books is broad and organized with care, and there are little recommendation cards scattered throughout to help you pick something. Besides the books, there are also items like bookish candles, stationary, ornaments, tote bags, games and more. Stephanie (the owner), was lovely to speak to and made my visit a comfortable and welcoming experience. I ended up checking out one paperback for $17, while also grabbing a coupon card for future visits. My only reservation about the place is that it’s definitely not cheap, especially for a broke college kid like me. Prices are as-listed on the books themselves, unless otherwise noted, which can add up quickly (think $28-$30 on average for a hardcover). It’s also worth mentioning that there is a slight grassy incline to contend with on your way to the door, which might be less than ideal for wheel-chair users or other such handicaps. All in all I had a great experience and will definitely be back again!

wonderful book store. great selection especially of local interest stuff. owner was very friendly and helpful without being too much up in your browsing.
