My visit to this shop in October was the first time I purchased candles there. When I lit them I was quite surprised that they smelled great and burned down perfectly not leaving any residual candle wax on the sides. I am very satisfied with my purchase from this shop. Unfortunately I live in South Carolina and cannot visit them very often in person, but I will be ordering on line. Thank you for these wonderfully crafted candles.

Awesome shop! Everywhere we looked there was so much to see! Took an hour to go through both floors. 10% military service discount. Found a statue that was representative of us to take home. Well worth the stop!

This store definitely has most amount of candles in one place then any place I’ve seen. It’s pretty impressive . Variety of different scents , shapes and sizes. Beside, they have tons of cool souvenirs and small house decor items . And haunted house. Overall - cool and entertaining store , gem of the poconos areas

Visited this eclectic candle and gift shop after driving by it the past few days and had to stop to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Needless to say they had a very large selection of scented candles and an even larger selection of non-candle items! A great place to visit closer to Halloween.

Anyways love stopping in while we are in the area. Very nice place with tons of things you'd expect at a candle shop. The employees are great to chat with and are very informative.

Amazing spectacle of a candle shop built into an old house. Very friendly staff, and quite the entertaining place to walk through!

This place was incredibly charming. There are so many rooms you can get lost looking through the collection of items there are. Also spent some time looking into the history of the location after which was very interesting. There are haunted tours at least during October but maybe it's year round. Either way I definitely want to get back to go on the tour.

This place is awesome! They have so many different fragrances of candles. They also have Chakra Candles and Sage. The Haunted Tour was closed but we will definitely go back again especially when the tour is open!

Half candle shop, half House of Horrors! If you're in the area you should really see this site. Great for getting gifts and freaking out your children at the same time! Local attraction for sure. Unique arrays of scents available along with interesting architecture.

Me and my wife visited here a few weeks ago and For the First Time 5 years ago and it's still a wonderful place that has great products. The owner has a wonderful personality and is amazing it sucks that I forgot her name but she is a ball of energy. All types of unique scented candles and homemade Goods at reasonable prices. Have to pay this spot a visit if you're passing through or on vacation

I like the shop, it's got a great atmosphere, and the candles smell great. But, at the end of the day, the quality of a candle shop should be judged on its candles, and, from what I've seen, they simply don't work very well.I purchased a $50 candle, and quickly discovered that the wicks were burning FAR too quickly. Luckily, I was still in the area, so I went back to get a replacement. The replacement process was tremendously easy, just go and pick out another one. But this candle faces the same problems. No matter what I do, removing wax, trying to prevent tunneling, it only burns for about 45 minutes before it goes out. I would expect a candle like this to burn as well as a Yankee Candle or any similar product, and it just falls flat. I hope they get this sorted out, because this has become my most expensive paperweight.

A ton of candles in a variety of sizes from small to HUGE. Hundreds of different scents. The scents to me were a little weak even though they were labeled as double scented. Candles come in melts, regular candles, large candle pies, pool floaters and tapers. Didn’t get to do the tour but it seemed interesting. They also sell other home good items here like sun catchers and wind chimes.

So much to see! Every nook and cranny is filled with unique gifts and fun things to see. The person working there was very helpful and friendly. Plenty of fall and Christmas or anytime of the year gift ideas!

By far the coolest place in the poconos. I’m so grateful we found it by chance, when we were driving by. We literally spent hundred of dollars here buying so many cool and unique gifts for ourselves and friends. I could spend hours just looking at all their one of a kind stuff and smelling all the amazing candles. I would fly all the way to Pennsylvania just to visit this shop again.

This place is a must stop if you’re all about candles. Sooooo many different scent options and I spent a good amount of time smelling them!! If you find a scent you like, some of them are offered in different colored options, so they’ll always match your decor! I also like that, as a tourist attraction shop, they’re not overpriced!I love the different themed holiday rooms upstairs and all the little trinkets that were offered around the shop.The shop owner was also very nice and helpful! Thanks so much!!

Amazing amount of stock. So much to look at and choose from! Candles are so nice. The fact that the building is haunted adds an extra interest.

Great building and selection of items. Is it really haunted? Allegedly people can smell animal's when they walk upstairs, this is because of the monkey experiments that were supposedly conducted there. All I can say is that my wife and I did smell the faint odor of a dead animal, likely one that died in the walls, but hey you never know!

Not many stores you shop anymore measure up to the word “experience,” but this is place is that and more, like an olfactory labyrinth adventure stacked top to bottom with an insanely large selection of candle scents among many other gifts, holiday merchandise, metaphysical items, home decor, biker apparel, and on and on. If we head not arrived so late in the day we could have spent hours looking. The pricing on everything was quite reasonable especially considering that the candles are handmade, and I picked up the Mahogany Teakwood one in 64 (!!!!) ounces, perfect for scenting a large open concept part of my home. I also thought that it was nice that the staff was present and attentive enough that I could ask questions without having to double back to the desk or go looking for someone. My boyfriend and I are excited to visit again and spend more time going through the candle selection next time we’re in the area.

Nice selection of candles, but everything was over priced. We paid $20 each to do the “haunted” tour in the basement and it was a joke…just a bunch of fake sounds, zombies, and skeletons. Save your money!!

They have awesome things and candles for sale, and the back story and basement that was once a lab is pretty awesome to learn about.

Awesome place to visit. Great tour with a lot of history. I was not expecting all of the facts about this establishment. If you are afraid of ghosts....stay away!!!!!
