Neat place to stop if you're in the area and looking for something to do…read more You can go into the back, through a door in the storefront, and walk up onto some scaffolding overlooking where the glassware is being made (from 10-2, I think). Watching them was neat, but a little disappointing. Most of them just picked up some glass, heated it, placed it in mold, then maybe fiddled with it by hand for another minute or two, and it was done. I guess I was expecting more artistry. And then to walk back into the store and see those same pieces that they made in 5 minutes selling for $85-$250! Wow. I would have loved to have bought a souvenir or gift for a friend, but apparently I'm not their target demographic. LOL

Bear Creek Traders is a must stop each year we visit Deep Creek. I don't always buy something, but…read moreI just love to look around. It's a large store full of clothing (higher end & DCL logo merch), jewelry, household goods, kids/baby stuff & toys, candles, soaps, lotions, bbq supplies, flags, seasonal goods & signs. LOTS of stuff & many aisles to browse. It's located in the plaza with the grocery store so I sometimes even browse twice when I'm in town. Big parking lot for the plaza.

Really neat shop, full of Native American inspired clothing, jewelry, home decor and souvenirs, as…read morewell as handmade Native pottery for sale year-round. During the summer, they advertise outdoor 'mining' for the kids - they feature a huge sluice and various sized bags for sale for panning! I have not personally experienced this because they close during Labor Day and I always go the weekend after. The store, located on the second floor the building which also houses Deep Creek Donuts & FunTime Watersports, is a relatively small shop. I am not sure if they are handicap accessible but I do not believe they are. It is also very quiet inside which was a little awkward shopping with a companion and trying to have light conversation while shopping; they might benefit from playing some soft music to make it more inviting. The handmade pottery is beautiful and priced very reasonable - there are small certified cards inside that tell you when/where/who made your art- a very nice touch. They also have a nice selection of geodes, agates, healing stones, and other decorative stones which are very trendy right now. Their clothing selection features mostly T-shirts and similar garments screen-printed with Native-inspired images. They also have jewelry cases along the wall that extend 2 complete walls of the shop; complete with lots of silver and beaded items that are just beautiful. This is a really cool shop loaded with neat goodies, and it's unlike any shop I've ever seen as it focuses on Native offerings which are beautiful and well-made. I have purchased several real geode/stone magnets, large geode bookends, pottery, and some home decor items- I always find something to take home with me! I highly recommend visiting on your next vacation to Deep Creek!

One thing I've learned so far visiting West Virginia: This part of Appalachia is obsessed with…read morecryptids. Mothman, Bigfoot, Sheepsquatch ... the gang's all here in West VA. The community really leans into myths and spooky legends, and you'll find restaurants, shops, food and drinks named after these cultural conspiracy theory characters all over the place. The Thrifty Mountaineer is the place to visit in Morgantown if you're into cryptids, because there are so many cryptid items for sale! Plushies, t-shirts, books, keychains, patches and so much more available. Mothman is THE cryptid of the state, and there are lots of Mothman things here. We picked up some Mothman potato chips, because we were curious what Mothman chips would taste like. (Turns out, Mothman tastes a lot like barbecue Lay's.) The store is also an overstock and liquidation store, a notary public and a place to get financial coaching. I can't even make this up. This store is so cool and random, and there are surprises around every corner. The people who work here are hella chill. But you'd have to be if you own and operate a friggin' store dedicated to cryptids, right? If you sell soap that smells like the Flatwoods Monster, you can't take yourself too seriously. These guys like to have fun.

The inside consists of two rooms full of cryptid merchandise, general thrifty items, clothing, and your typical touristy gifts. They have a thrift "bin" which is essentially a table full of random stuff for $2. We found an unopened 6-pack of Hanes boxers and some replacement inner tubes that would fit a dirt bike. They have very fairly priced shirts for men, women, and children. I left with a $3 Bacardi tshirt and a $.50 corkscrew in a velvet drawstring bag. The staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. They were so pleasant. There are two comfy chairs in the middle of the main room where you can relax while the rest of your party shops around. I'll definitely be back to share this experience with others.

There's also a pretty nice selection of cute hippie-ish jewelry too. There's also some items that seem a little counter to the eco/environmentally-friendly theme that the store seems to be cultivating. For example some mass produced wallet-type items and fast fashion gloves. They're cute, but felt a little out of place with the natural body products, pot paraphernalia, and bulk spices/herbs. Overall, we like this shop and almost always pop in when we're in the Davis/Thomas/Oakland area for outdoor sports.
