Gilded Carriage

Catskills


Gilded Carriage is a charming mess of a store that manages to sidestep the typical bland knickknack-shop trap found in many touristy towns. The gifts and homewares for sale are tasteful and the store itself is spread out over the ground floor of a Victorian home, making roaming from room to room a joy in and of itself.
