We drove down to Maciel's after stopping at a couple of other tree farms. A good selection remained, and the prices cannot be beat. We finally decided on a tree after finding several that met our needs. What's really nice to see (and ever more unusual) is a tree-farm that is not chainsaw happy. Many trees available now are sheared and very difficult to decorate. The trees at Maciel's are shaped but retain their natural beauty and provide many sturdy and sweeping branches for ornaments. Someone cut our tree, carried it from the outer edge of the farm's field, baled it and tied it to the car roof. They serve free coffee, and for 50 cents, you can get a delicious homemade cookie (I had two) or a hot chocolate. We had a great experience that really put us in the spirit, and we found the perfect tree!

Of the listing Stone Bridge Restaurant
Good food. attentive service and nice setting. Food is fresh, and you won't leave hungry. The Cod Mykonos is great, and usually get the fried cod sandwich if there for lunch.

Of the listing Staley's Hair Color & Design
Great place to get a haircut. We've been going to Martha for years. Their prices are great, the service is exceptional, and Martha, Nicole, Staley and the rest of the team make you feel like part of a family. They're always very accommodating, and the work I see is pretty amazing.

Of the listing Moulin Rouge
A charming restaurant that delivers great service, food and value. For around $20, you get salad, entree, fresh bread, vegetables and choice of potato. The Chicken Francais is one of my favorites, and it's served with lobster and asparagus on top. Clam chowder and lobster bisque are great. The duck, scallops, and steaks are terrific too. Another point of consideration... they pour a really big glass of wine :)

On December 20, 2012, the Stonebridge Restaurant closed. We drove by last night, and last Saturday night, and both times noticed the place was in darkness. Decided to stop by for lunch today, but the doors were locked, the menu was missing from the display box and all furniture and fixtures had been removed. All that remained was a holiday tree standing in the middle of the room. Will miss their cod sandwich, rice pudding and great service.
