"Anytime we go to the adk we make it a point to stop through old forge and going to this store is one of the reasons why. The owner is so nice and welcoming, the items are really unique and the inventory seems to evolve at a great pace. Items featured are often local artists and you won’t find much that is commercial made or mass produced. The owner also features lots of other businesses and artists on social and made sure my online order was perfect before shipping. If you’re in old forge and looking for souvenirs, decor and clothing this is a must-stop location."

"We visit Old Forge several times a year, a stop in to see Michelle and all the beautiful products is a must every single time. Shopping at Life In The ADK is so much more than great items, you also get great stories, tips for other great places to visit and an incredible sense of community and friendship is unmatched."

It will definitely be something I pack when I come up there for Labor Day weekend!! Ordering online was super easy and it came super fast!! Can’t wait to stop in the shop when I am up there! Thank you so much! Now I can have a piece of home with me all the time. The ADK has been a huge part of my life since I was a little kid."

"Great store in Old Forge. Michelle is a wealth of information. Her merchandise is outstanding and is locally sourced. Her “twinkle lights” make you feel like it’s Christmas in July in the ADK’s. Definitely a store worth stopping in."
