Themed shops, an antique mall and restaurant provide a unique shopping experience in Lake Alfred. Shopping and dining at the ever changing Barn and Stable never gets old.
Home, Garden & Antiques
The best way to describe the Barn and Stable shopping experience is to compare it to an outdoor mall consisting of a Hobby Lobby, Cracker Barrel gift shop, restaurant and maybe a Kirkland’s. Now, add an antique mall, jewelry shop and the fact that this is a family owned business to the mix. Sounds kind of great, right? It is!
4 Shops & a Restaurant

The Stable Home Decor
The Stable Home Decor began as an area to showcase hand-made arts and crafts in a corner of The Barn Antiques.
Today, The Stable is the perfect balance of traditional home décor and trendy gift shop staples. It’s filled to the brim with wonderful accessories like buttery soft leather cross body purses, adorned sandals and scarves. With framed prints, lamps, candles, and an abundance of floral arrangements, it almost feels like you are meandering through a designer home. The jewelry and accessories room is the perfect place to find a special gift for your sister, mother or best friend.

The Seasons Gift Shop
There is no better way to get in the spirit of a season than with a visit to the Seasons Gift Shop. As you’ve probably gathered from the name, this shop celebrates all of our major holidays with incredible home decorations. Whether you want to decorate your house or set the mood for a festive family get together, you’ll find something at The Seasons you can’t live without.
Spring welcomes colorful florals and Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter decorations, then summer ushers in whimsical beach accessories and patriotic 4th of July décor and party goods. All of the seasons are fun, but fall and Christmas are the true stars. From spooking Halloween touches to traditional Thanksgiving designs, The Seasons has fitting and stylish decorations for any home.
Christmas at the Seasons Gift Shop

The Back Yard Garden Shop
It’s hard to pick a favorite, but The Back Yard Garden Shop is a lot of fun. It’s an outdoor shopping experience under a canopy of native shade trees; there’s a tree right in the middle of the store! Every nook is filled with seasonal blossoms and blooms, and garden accessories that will make your yard the talk of the neighborhood. You’ll find birdhouses, fountains, arbors, garden flags and much, much more. Their “Florida Friendly” native plant selection is a blessing for those who have had difficulty growing plants and flowers in the Florida sun.
