“We stop by here on each trip through Sylva, NC. Nice people and a great selection of everything you didn't know you needed...socks, Christmas decorations, spices, coolers, and clothes!”
“Super eclectic shop. There was all kinds of things from our elk hides to beautiful handmade baskets. All kinds of treats in jars of handmade goodies, which I bought a lot of. Also some clay pottery made from the locals that were amazing the design and intricacy. I should’ve took a bunch of pictures and I didn’t. It’s just one of those shops that has a little bit of everything.”
“This place was a great find on my family vacation! So many eclectic items throughout, and the garden signs are super affordable. The family that owns/runs the shop is extremely welcoming and friendly! Shout out to the son who rang us up with such speed and accuracy! I highly recommend this as a stoping point on anyone’s trip to Cherokee! Thanks for my flying monkey!!”
“Awesome selection of herbals, teas, tinctures. Incredible baskets and carvings. The lady who helped me was so kind and friendly. Lots of Native American books. Worth stopping in and checking out. Will return next time I am in Cherokee”
“As Christian book stores become less common, this is the best one I know of. The only other store I know of is in Mount Airy, NC. One thing that makes it special is the prayer request book, which you can write yours in.”

“One of my all time favorite shops in the best little downtown ever. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and make a point to stop in and see all the fantastic things they carry. You will be sure to find something you can’t live without.”
“My favorite shop in Maggie Valley. They have everything from soaps and lotions to clothing, from jewelry to silk flowers and plants. They have a gorgeous Christmas shop and plenty of souvenirs. Be prepared to spend some time in this fascinating place!”

“When I visit my family in Sylva, I always make a trip to the Golden Carp. I bought two lamps from them a few years ago and they make my master bedroom suite very special. They were shipped to Florida with no problem.The owners are wonderful and have great taste in home decor.Looking forward to visiting again in the very near future.”
“Cute gift shop on the mountain. The area looks wonderful, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The gift shop itself is well maintained and clean, it sells fudges, ice creams, and other gifts. The staff is friendly and helpful. This place has a clean restroom that can be used.”
“This little shop was the highlight of our day trip the Cherokee today! Normally we buy a little wedding vase or tchotchke each time we come from another store in town but we explored the "less busy" side of the area and found Village Merchant. Walking in, I spotted the local art by Luzell of area scenes hand painted on saw blades, jugs, rocks, leaves, and even a pair of boots and couldn't get farther into the little store without deciding what to take home! My husband and I probably spent 30 minutes in that corner of the store debating on the piece to purchase.. we ended up taking home a long saw, three smaller circular blades, and I ran back before checking out and grabbed a small glass bottle.The artist's sister (I believe they both own the store?) chatted with us and was super pleasant! We unfortunately did not get her name this time but we are already planning on coming back up to grab a few more pieces for our home!Thank you for the nice chat today and we hope to see you in Blue Ridge, GA, sometime!”
“Great selection of cool souvenirs with pretty reasonable prices. As a big Jeep fan myself, my wife and loved the Jeep shirts. The store is clean and we'll organized and you don't feel too cramped.They do have a no photography rule that I broke but it's my job as a Google advisor to let people know all the cool stuff they have.”

“Such a great little shop for finding cozy and fun gifts. I have bought gifts for new homeowners that I have helped as clients and love the selection in this story. The owner is also very helpful and kind. Definitely one of the must stop shops in Downtown Sylva!”
