Shop 2 owner was very rude to me. I asked to see the stuff out back and he said "if you didn't buy anything in here, then it's not for you out there"Needless to say I left. Some of the stuff is new, not antique as well, so be careful.

Had a great time here in late July. Joanne must either have been home that day or she is no longer around. A friend and I were not even in Maine to go to antique stores. But I asked if she minded if we made one stop! We ended up going into 4 shops here. A couple were closed. Turns out 3 of the 4 are relatives. First met a very nice older gentlemen who was friendly and shared great stories on items I was interested in or asked questions about. Another store was owned by his sister who was just as friendly. Third store was being ‘manned’ by the previous womens daughter. All had great things to look at. Bought a few small things but thoroughly enjoyed the owners company. My girlfriend even said ‘this is fun’. We should come again when we have more time. The last store had equally great things but had items that were not antiques just looked it, and were asking some very unreasonable prices. There were two women working in this store and I think it was the building furthest to the right. Beware in there. But they were still very pleasant. Some prices were high….but the items could have been worth it. The items I was interested in were all reasonable. Definitely no bargains but that doesn’t mean the items were not worth it. You just need to know your stuff or feel good about the price based on what you do know. I plan to head back up in October and can’t wait!!!!

Unpleasant and argumentative owner, poor selection, high prices. Cannot say I recommend it.

As for the actual antique shops, you will not find great bargains, they are not a pickers paradise. But you will find some reasonably priced, very wonderful unique finds you just have to have. One shop has an array of large items for both inside and outside of the home. Another has more coastal themed pieces. The rest I will check out when we return there tomorrow to pick up the things I would have purchased today.I came here to read the reviews based on our experience with the notorious Joanne. She's a real character. We made the mistake of going into her shop first. Please don't be put off by her, her junk shop, or believe as I did, from her claims that she owns 17 shops implying she owns the other shops in the complex. I feel for her, hope she has family to help her, but am kind of aggravated by how she detracted from the other shops around her. From my experience with her I decided not to purchase from the other shops believing she was the actual owner. She should not be there.

Joanne was very rude. We were in the shop for less than two minutes because she was yelling that we weren’t walking through the store in the right direction. When we got uncomfortable and left, she told us not to go in the “free” store next door that’s apparently one of the 17 other shops she owns (while somehow living 4000 miles away??). We wanted to check out the other shops as well, but left after meeting Joanne.

Avoid the 2nd shop. You will be yelled at by a very angry lady for no reason at all. Unfortunately makes a bad impression on the rest of the place. The remaining owners are polite but just makes for a bad experience, better off being able to enjoy your day elsewhere.

Stopped in this afternoon, we were rudely yelled at in the flower/antique shop at the end that we were “ free to look around, but they closed at 4” it was 3:45. We promptly turned around and went to another store, nice ladies cool large pieces. Next store we approached was owned by “Joanne” who insulted us and each set of customers that came in. Really overpriced, kept saying “it’s all on sale, I own 17 stores and I don’t have time to mark down prices” save yourself the trouble, keep driving.

I wish I had read the reviews first. Joanne is in fact rude and awful. I used a flashlight to check the details on a product and she yelled at me for taking pictures from across the room. She insulted every person that left and when I asked my boyfriend if he was ready to leave she butted in and said that was a stupid question. Completely uncalled for and nothing in these shops was worth listening to that.

Everyone is commenting how rude Joanne is but I think it's the most entertaining thing ever. Sure, not what you expect from the owner of an antique shop, but her stories are amazing. While there she told us she'd just gotten off the phone with Mike Pence and had dinner with Paul McCartney two weeks earlier.As long as you acknowledge her when you enter and leave, she'll like you and tell you stories.

Some really cool things. Most are overpriced and the people who own the shops hover over you so I ended up leaving pretty quick. Personal space! let me browse to figure out how I would use what I want.

Unpleasant owner, rude and pretentious.‐-----------------------2 years later---------------------------I like to go back though my reviews every now and then to see if things have changed.......2 years later and looking at the newer reviews the same lady is still nasty as ever.
