If you’re in cook forest you need to stop here. Neat place with lots of different types of gifts and souvenirs. Adorable clerk and doggo waiting to help you out.

there are enough other nice shop owners. This one does not deserve any business.My wife is originally from this area. We have been to this store multiple times under previous ownership.Today I pulled off at their blocked driveway to take a phone call. The owner came out and rudely told me that it is no parking and I must move. There was no allowance and no kindness and no asking. I did communicate that the attitude might not be good for business and she responded that she let me park there long enough in a No parking zone. Technically I was on State property since I was just off the road with the white line on the left side of my tires. I did move but with saddened by the attitude of the proprietor in an area that depends upon its courtesy. There are plenty of other shops that I would encourage other people to visit in the Cook Forest area. This one should be avoided.Her last statement was that the only reason she asked me to move was because she needed out. The facts are that she could have gotten out behind me and also there is another driveway that she can use as well. She did not have to use this block driveway but she chose it because she was offended that we parked in part of the apron off of 899.Happy new year. The problems in our nation continue to plague people with bad attitudes and unprofessional behaviors.

A CF staple. Great selections of tshirts here with a huge variety of sizes! I do wish the staff were not as pushy to sell things or follow you around asking loads of questions. I would likely buy more if I didn't feel like I was being hounded so we never stay browsing here very long. It's more of a get in and get out once you find your tshirt.

Not a lot of good options. Yelled at us for bringing in our dog for “liability” reasons even though he is a k9 good citizen and wouldn’t break anything. Even if he did we could have payed for it. Go to the Indian trading post down the road it is 100x better.

This store has great variety and pricing--you can find everything from gnomes and mugs to shoes and purses. I love my moccasins and have multiple pairs for myself and my child. The owners are friendly and helpful, too.

I have always been going to this Trading Post ever since I was a kid when my family and I would go up to our cabin. Always was able to find something cool to get.

Enjoyed my visit here. Lots of cool stuff. Felt bad for the double masked staff after the president announced the pandemic is over. Especially with all the fresh air in the forest area.

Always a great selection of silver. Fabulous fashions for all my fingers. I definitely recommend stopping in to see for yourself. Candles, blankets, purses, sunglasses, jewelry, leather, trinkets, art, all kinds of goodies inexpensive to reasonably priced. I travel often and love stopping at trading posts. This one at cook's forest is by far my favorite!!

Very rude. I bought two glasses 6$ didn't have cash, I had a debit card and credit. Was told 20$ limit to us cards my husband had cash so paid. When I questioned about the policy she said she would give me my cash back and she would keep the glasses. Very snotty and rude.
