High Country Candles is a lovely little store along the Main Street of Blowing Rock, and if it hadn't been for my concern about how I'd pack an armload of candles into my carry-on luggage to fly back home? I would have spent WAY too much money here. The candles smell wonderful, come in a wide variety of scents, and are available in a breadth of sizes - as a matter of fact, their website states "We have 80 different wonderful fragrances we use to scent our handcrafted jar candles, pillars and votives." You can tell that the people here take pride in the craftmanship behind their candles, and they also offer various pottery selections - specifically, a wide variety of mugs, bowls, vases as well as candles trays - in the store. The staff is very welcoming as well - happy to answer any questions you have about what's available in the store. I just wish they shipped their wonderful candles!

This is an adorable shop with friendly and helpful staff. They hand make candles and pottery and all work is done on site. I wish I would have just spent all my money on the pottery because the candles give off zero scent. I buy candles for their scent (some don't, I assume) and it's pretty disappointing to spend almost $100 in candles to only have a tiny whiff of a scent. The candle 'sculptures' are gorgeous, and the pottery is beautiful and well made. Nothing I say is going to deter anyone from shopping here, and I don't want it to, but I do want future shoppers to know they'll get much more scent from a Yankee Candle.

What an unexpected find. The owners are just lovely! So many candles to choose from and they are all made in-house. Will definitely be back our next visit.

We stopped in here while exploring downtown Blowing Rock, and I’m very glad we did! There are a wide variety of scents for all times of year. The staff is friendly and helpful! They even mentioned that they offer refills of their candles for a discounted price. Definitely worth stopping by!

High quality candles produced on site by a highly experienced wax maker couple. They have many variations of a translucent, highly decorative candle that's impressive.

Very friendly and beautiful smelling candles and pottery. My daughter absolutely loves candles, and she found the scents very pleasant. As a wedding planner I'm always on the lookout for unique dishes for flat lay details for wedding accessories, and their soap dishes and pottery are amazing and unique. Wonder place to see.

Always amazing. A must do everytime we visit. Since I was a kid we’ve been stopping in this little shop every year. And my Nc vacation wouldn’t be the same without a candle to take home with me.
