    Our visit to SVAC was very enjoyable. Almost all of the art that was on display appealed to us.

    Given that we only had to pay the Senior rate for the tickets, I think this qualifies as a bargain.

    Very educational for those who fish or don’t fish. The art exhibit was fabulous. The Lee and Joan Wolff section was great and also had a video. Very organized and clean. Had a gift area.

    Terry, the owner is a delight and the artists she has in her gallery are all outstanding. If you love art then this is a wonderful gallery worth a visit.

    This might be the best bookstore that I have ever visited. Great selection and very accommodating. If the store does not have a title in stock, the book may be special ordered. Staff is always helpful.

    This was a great place to watch an artisan create some artistic glass... they were working on some Rondels for a house builder. Watching the glass blower and his assistant we actually quite entertaining and his skill level was impressive. Also worth noting is that nobody was rushing us or even trying to sell us anything.

    There was also some very attractive glass creations for sale in the storefront but, unfortunately, we weren't in the market for any of that and so did not purchase anything.

    Into creative glass, pots, woodworking or just neat things you'll find you'll like this place. Lots of creativity at a wide range of prices.

    Not a big fan of this store but thought we should stop by since it was a flagship store. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Dog friendly. Large section devoted to dogs.

    The store has an amazing selection of products. The work is beautiful. We purchased 2 wooden refrigerator magnets-a moose and a pine tree, 2 wooden Christmas trees, and 2 wooden trivets-one cut and inlayed and one that was a cross-section of small tree branches. Great stop-just to see the quality of the woodwork.

    Spent a morning in an aqua aerobics class, then a hot tub soak, and finally a massage which completed a very relaxing day.

    I have had numerous facials and brow waxes from Amanda over the past five plus years. She is simply the best skincare professional around. She has a delightful personality, she makes thoughtful recommendations for organic skincare products, and you walk out feeling wonderful. I cannot recommend anyone more highly. With her move to Manchester, I miss her terribly and am seriously thinking of road-tripping just to have a facial and brow wax with her. If you're in the area, you should definitely treat yourself. You won't regret it.

    What a great way to start the new year! We were in the area on a ski trip over the holidays. A couple sub-par weather days were the perfect opportunity to drop in at the yoga studio.
    Sign up online to ensure a spot. They have high quality mats available to rent for a couple bucks. Both teachers I had were well qualified and led the classes skillfully. The space is sweet and has a nice New England vibe.
    Be sure to wander through their boutique before or after class (only open limited hours).

    What an experience! We expected some muddy four-wheeling in the woods, and it was so much more. Our instructor Trevor was so thorough explaining the features of our Sport, and he was incredibly patient too! The hill climbs and descents weren't scary at all with his instructions, and I learned to trust the vehicle to do its job. We especially enjoyed the hills where wheels would be off the ground. The Rover is so stable under those conditions. If you have any interest in seeing what these vehicles are capable of, I highly recommend this...my husband called it the Ultimate Test Drive.
