Melissa and Matt do an awesome job! Whether it’s for convenience or you need a custom made charcuterie board- this is the place to shop. We love the fresh meat selection and the variety of gift ideas- from lottery tickets to Scales Mound merchandise.

On 8/31/2024 Delaney Paul had this to say:
Country House is my favorite place to shop when visiting the lake. It feels like coming home and you are always greeted with a smile. Melissa goes out of her way to get to know her customers personally and ensures all her products are top notch. Her meat and produce are fresh and her cinnamon rolls are a family favorite!!! Highly recommend
