The owner is super nice. This place has the largest selection of every kind of ornament you can think of. They even carry some local made wooden ones, which we try and get when we go. This is a must if in Dillsboro

I read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. I am 60 with moderate degenerative disk decease and was able to make the trip. The root are tiny and easily avoidable. There was one tree across the trail, maybe 16" high, again easily stepped over. The Water Fall is spectacular. It has rained here the last couple days, so it may have been bigger than usual but so beautiful. I will be coming back again to see it in the spring and the fall. My 17 yr old son decided to cross the rocks and get closer look. Fell in, water is quite cold he reports LOL. There is a nice spot for frolicking in the warmer weather shortly before the fall. I am taking my wife and 3 daughters back today. ENJOY

What a great little place. My family had a blast sleucing through our buckets. We walked about with about 20 lbs of rough gems. So many different types. The store was filled with collector pieces. The prices were reasonable. Tara was awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely work a trip.

Driving through Sylva around 8pm on a Sunday looking for somewhere to get dinner, but everything is closed. Came across Balsam Falls Brewing and lucked into a great new place. From the friendly person whom I spoke with on the phone to find out what kind of food they served who ended being our wonderful server, Morgan, to the fresh food and great tasting beer. Morgan wasn’t kidding when she said they had a great Greek salad and my husband had a yummy tomato capris flatbread pizza. Fun atmosphere. Followed Covid protocol. Overall enjoyable meal. We are looking forward to going again.
