Excellent customer service. The selection of Petoskey stones is amazing. Nice store to visit and shop.
A must stop place for my wife whenever we travel northwest Michigan. Fantastic assortment of local fare including bird house/feeders, yard ornaments, nic naks, and of course pottery.
If you love art and especially yard art - this is the place for you!
Excellent gift And garden store. Ill be back
Must see pottery, metal, wood and glass crafts for indoors and out from curated artisans. Sturgeon River staff are friendly and helpful making you feel welcome. Beautiful gift boxing services are available free of charge and theyll ship anywhere.
Wow, what a great local businesses! I was greeted warmly when I walked in and they were quick to offer help if I had any questions. They even gift wrapped the item I bought when I told her it was for my mothers anniversary. On top of that, the gift wrapping was amazing! They really take pride in what they do!
Tons of hand created pottery. Many other gift ideas as well as decor for your yard and garden.
What a great store! Why buy cheap stuff made in (insert Country here), when you can buy local, handmade pottery (they also have bird feeders, lawn chairs, outside decor, and so much more!) for your loved ones for birthday, Christmas, or any other event. They also have great music playing in the store! You guys are awesome. You should also check out their store in downtown Petoskey, NorthGoods.
They have everything pottery and more-outdoor sculptures, bird baths, outdoor furniture, bird feed, wind spinners-the list is endless. Many, many different pottery items available in many color schemes. Gift wrap is available free.
I was in search of a multi colored spinner to add to my collection. I hit the jackpot with Sturgeon River Pottery! Any type of yard decor, they have it.
People are so kind here and the store is full of beautiful and unique items!
I died and went to eclectic garden art heaven! Second trip and will absolutely be back. THE best Northern Michigan road-trip-treasure.
What a fun place to poke around for unique items! Had a great time and found some amazing treasures!
I have just received my order of one polished Petoskey stone, and of 3 orders of unpolished ones, totaling 13 fossils, all carefully chosen and well wrapped for maximum protection to my home in Colorado. My order arrived in less than a week. My polished stone for $35. was beautifully finished and measured about 2 1/2 “, filling the palm of my hand. This store is top-notch and I heartily recommend it. Thanks, Sturgeon River Pottery!
I wanted so many things but I am moving to AZ in the fall. You may be getting some orders from me after I settle down, though.
Amazing place, Great selection. You need several hours to see it all.We had a blast and very reasonable prices! The customer service was excellent. Courteous and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!The gift wrapping is awesome 👌
Nice assortment of items. Wish I could afford the large chimes.
This place was great if you need a metal sunflower or a knome for the garden then this is good spot.had to turn around just to go see it.i recommend it if your in the area.
I would give this a 10 out of 5 stats if I could! I love it here. They are all so nice and you can get really unique gifts for anyone. They also have the heavy duty garden hooks for the heavy flower baskets
Absolutely Love this place! Every time my husband and I visit the area we have to stop in. Very unique things. We never leave without buying something.
So many pottery goods to look at! Even went to their pottery workshop and drying room! Nice friendly people. Come and have a nice look around in the store, and you may just find the perfect something to bring home!
Fantastic store with a great selection of fun and unique gifts, pottery, and outdoor decor. So glad we popped in, got our Christmas shopping started! Will definitely stop again when we are in Petoskey.
Always a unique, quality selection with friendly, helpful staff!
It goes without saying that Sturgeon River has amazing pottery! It’s definitely a must for locals and fudgies alike. Couple that with a great staff and the only thing they are missing is great music in the background. Oh, wait a minute- they DO play great hits from the 70’s and 80’s in the background! Talk about a way to keep us in the store shopping! Thanks a lot! Lol
I stop here every time I am in the area. They have gorgeous pottery and lots of fun garden accents. This visit, we bought a metal ant sculpture.
Very cool shop with tons of different crafted and unique gifts! We looked at different works carved from wood/stone, glass pieces, all sorts of pottery of course and metal. I would have loved to see where they work, but it was closed when I happened to stop by! Definitely a great spot to stop by and check out. Even if its just to see all the wonderful handmade goods!
So much to shop for here! Prices are ok. Lots of functional pottery, yard art and statues, porch swings, bird feeders and seed, Petoskey stones and jewelry, and much more. Fun stop!
The amount if random and cool trinkets in this store is nothing but impressive. If you want some good Petoskey stones this is the place to go.If you like gardening and wind chimes they have plenty of those as well. Big oll gongs, little dingly things. Fun stuff!
Coolest place ever. Will find a treasure for everybody on your list.
This is such an interesting place. So much bigger than it appears. Stuff inside and out. Lots of really cool stuff. Huge range of items and prices. Will definitely go back to wander.
The cutest store! Great selection of outdoor/garden accessories, pottery, unique gifts and decor. Im so glad we drove past this place and stopped! We bought a bunch of gifts for the holidays and garden decor. They also gift wrap so nicely.
ALWAYS finding truly unique gift items! We found just the perfect drink coasters for my brother who has just about everything. We took advantage of their free gift wrapping. We weren’t disappointed. Perfect place to find the right stuff for just about anyone! Thanks
Wonderful pottery and other items to see and puchase.
Spectacular assortment of artisan pieces! Keep going upstairs - you may see a potter at work! If you are looking for unique gifts, garden decorations, or quality pieces, stop in! Look around! Treat yourself to a functional piece of art!
What a neat place . Nice variety of hand crafted gifts . The staff was very friendly and the music played really rocked , making our shopping experience awesome. We will return to this place again .!!!

Outstanding store, truly a Gem of the north. Pottery art work ,rustic furniture, jewelry just on and on . Not just a store an experience. Everyone should see this place.
This place has everything you need to decorate the outside of your house, or porch rockers, jewelry, pottery and much more. My new must stop location when I got to Petosky!
Most of it is incredibly overpriced tourist crafts, some of it is interesting but expect priced five to ten times higher than what you are willing to pay
Wonderful shop with such a variety of items, from long lasting outdoor furniture to adorable hand made pottery. I see something new every time I visit.
Great eye candy. Lots of variety, not just pottery. Metal art, Petoskey stones, yard art, wild bird supplies, great kitchen gifts.
Our first time visiting the store. Very friendly and helpful! Amazing one of a kind items! We look forward to going back many more times!
Everything you need for yard. So many things to look at.
Lots of nice work by local artists with an assortment of manufactured products as well. Much more than just pottery - crafty things, furniture, garden decorations, etc.
This store is adorable!! They have tons of cute outdoor decor, made from wood and metal, as well as a store full of pottery. You can pick up any kind of bird feeder there too! Not to mention they always have the store dog wandering around looking for someone to pet him.
Unique place with different types of gifts, a little pricey for me but definitely worth a visit, you get free popcorn and coffee.😊
Despite being a bit pricey, its a cool store. Interesting pieces, beautiful pieces, and a good variety of items.
Really cool, eclectic place, so many things to look at, so many styles of art and pottery. A bit expensive... but the artisans are real artists.
LOVE THIS PLACE! They have some really cool & unique things. I could spend a small fortune here.
One of the best pottery shops Ive ever been in! Beautiful colours and patterns in the glazes. Unique pieces and a huge variety. Take a glimpse at the studio on the top floor too. Admire the beautiful Petosky stones of different sizes. Bring your wallet and purse. You wont want to leave empty handed.
Great place to find an awesome gift for any occasion!! Friendly, helpful staff PLUS locally owned and operated!
Unique artistry. Very friendly, helpful staff. I was able to watch 2 potters work also. Its a very enjoyable stop.
Fun to browse decorative items abound here! Ceramic studio on site is cool. Lots of Petoskey stone items as well as yard spinners among many other items.
Nice stop in the Charlevoix area. Anything Outdoors, Wood Metal, Stone and many nice local products in the store. Nice place.
Amazing pottery and really prepared staff
They had a lot of cool stuff both inside and outside the store. Metal yard art, pottery made on-site, and free popcorn.
Love this place! Lots of bird supplies. Lots of pottery. Lots of seasonal decorations! A must in my book!
There are so many amazing things here. We were able to find these beautiful tiles for putting them on our new home as our house numbers. They are amazing and the staff went above and beyond to help. We are customers for life.
Great store! Lots of pottery and yard art.
Wide variety of pottery, garden art and home decor , for be the most part by Sturgeon River Pottery. Nicely displayed both indoors and out. Prices a little high, but probably appropriate for the hand made quality. Staff polite and friendly without being pushy.
Very beautiful to visit. Selection of merchandise is out of this world. The frog pond is even a nice touch.
One of the best local pottery and art studios Ive seen. Pottery of all types, wood crafted furniture, bird feeders and supplies, metal yard art... All extensive inventory, with reasonable prices as well.
Staff is very friendly, and almost overly helpful. There is such a variety of local made high quality products. Their pottery mugs are comfortable in the hand and keeps your beverages warm so much longer
Real cool stuff, if your looking for Wal-Mart prices, keep dreaming, something for everyone. Not bad prices, friendly staff...
Wow what a great place. So many things to chose from for gifts and yourself. Very nice staff. A lot of uniqueness. Will visit again
Very friendly people who work there with fair prices!
We would highly recommend this business!! The man (I’m sad to say I didn’t get his name but kuddos to you!!!) who answered the phone took time to describe gift options for a hospital delivery, kept it in our price range, and included a speedy delivery to the McLaren hospital!! He was friendly, patient and worked with our price range. If you are looking for excellent customer service and quality, Sturgeon River Pottery is your shop!
Great place. Family goes there every year. Love their beer mugs and pottery
Great variety of pottery and yard things . Nice store.
They create the best frost proof pottery for your garden. They have a variety of garden decors for sale and Michigan state themed items. The location can be easily noticed from the highway. The staff is very helpful and knowledgable about the products.The prices can be on the high side, but most are well worth it.
Great but pricey selection. However, piping rap music into the store doesnt make you want to stick around and browse very long.
My guilty pleasure shop. So many items for your home decor, lawn decor, bird feeders, beautiful pottery, petoskey stone items and so much more! This is a go to for that hard to shop for person. Something for everyone.
Lot of beautiful things I would of got but a little out of my price range
A most unique place with one of a kind gifts. You have to stop there and see for yourself. Wish I could have bought alot more to take home with me. I appreciate the hand made items! Definitely will stop again when I am in that area!
The pottery is like no other place we visited. We passed it so many times and had to stop in. Great items and all are reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
This is an amazingly stuffed store, full of great Michigan products including our favorite decorative tiles made by several artists. There is also everything you might want to jazz up your yard or garden including bird feeders, Adirondack chairs, sculptures & wind chimes.
We always like shopping here
Great place to find unique items for your home both inside and out. Very friendly staff. Good prices.
I am always certain to stop at Sturgeon River Pottery when I am visiting the area. I am just as certain to purchase a few things while Im there.
This place is so much more than pottery we spent so long looking at all the multiple things that they had to offer it was endless I really liked everything that was in there and you could tell the skill level of what was created was unlike anything I had ever seen in terms of the pottery...by far this place is far far more than just pottery were really really glad that we stopped during our trip to the area....we even ended up going all the way up to the top where two gals were creating they were really open to sharing their experiences and how much they love doing what they do
Fun place to look around. Many unique crafts, dishware, Petoskey stones and jewelry. Jams, honey and much much more
Beautiful items for sale with a huge variety and good quality. Loved this place!

Went in on a whim for some late Christmas shopping with my son. Dana, the owner, took us on a tour of the whole shop, and even showed us the studio upstairs... Blown away! What appears to be knick-knacky lawn art shop from the outside is a wonderland of pottery art and amazing gift ideas all packed in with the most extensive bird feeding supply store Ive ever seen. Very impressed.
This is my favorite place to visit when im in the area! They have anything and everything you can imagine. I have purchased earrings made of wood, petoskey stones, wine glasses, wind chimes, bird houses, even chocolate! This is a great place to shop!
Cool shop, lots to look at. Great place to pick out something nice to take home. If youre a gardener at all you need to see this place.

It is a neat place to go for poetry and other items like yard furniture and eclectic knick knacks. I bought a wall mount bottle cap opener in the shape of michigan. It is beautiful! I will say a lot of the pottery does not change much, but for out of towners it is a great place to buy that thing you want to remember your vacation!
Fun eclectic spot with another set of pleasant people who work there. Mostly kitsch with some treasures. But they wouldnt sell me the windmill.
Neat place with lots of interesting pottery and outdoor items.

LOVE this place! Already been there 3 times in 1 month! Very unique and beautiful things for indoors and outdoors decorating!
It is an awesome place to buy handmade items for yourself or others and the staff are very helpful. We have visited and purchased numerous times.
The store is deceiving. From the road it looks like just a large yard ornament store, but when you get inside you will find beautiful, quality pottery made on site, polished Petoskey stones, and many quality gifts!
This place has a ton of great products, and its definitely worth stopping in. Normally its a challenge taking young kids to a place with so many knick knacks, but this place has free popcorn you can scoops into small paper bags to keep your kids distracted as you shop.

2022-05-27What a wonderful amazing store. We got there just before closing and the staff welcomed us in. Such an eclectic artistic collection of made in Michigan objects and wonderful creations. I would love to spend more time shopping but did not want to keep the staff so late.

2021-06-17We must have passed this place 4 time before we stopped in. So happy we did. Hand made pottery from coffee mugs to beer mugs to chip and dip trays. They have gardening decorations, rubs and spices and Petoskey stone gifts. Next time we are in town we are sure going to stop in again.

2019-08-17If you want yard decorations, make this a stop. Plenty of bird boxes and outdoor seating too. The Adirondack chair selection is worth trying out. There are some high quality pieces to choose from. The pottery is beautiful. They house a huge selection from a large lineup of artists. I found several pieces and collections I loved.
