We were passing through Maggie Valley, exploring what it had to offer, and let's face it: Maggie…read moreMountaineer Crafts is the largest gift store in the area, so we figured we should at least go in and see what it had to offer. What we found is realistically exactly what we expected: Lots of kitschy gifts, some made locally but a lot of it made overseas, all of which was stuff that we did not want or need. It was interesting to go around the building and see some of the things, and to look at the produce that was available, but we found some of the produce sitting on the ground rotting, which was sad and not at all appealing. If you need something to remember your trip to this area, by all means this place will have some sort of trinket that will do the job, but just remember that that is what you are going to get here... trinkets.

I was on the hunt to find a beaded Cherokee Indian Necklace that I remembered from my childhood that I was gifted by my mom. We saw the advertisement for beadwork and decided to stop in. I am SO glad we did! This store had so many amazing items to choose from. There were jams and jellies, crafts, artwork, and so much more. The value was fine. There were items that were expensive, but for handmade art, you are going to have to pay. It was nothing out of what I expected. The workers were so nice and attentive as well. Don't drive by here and not stop! It's well worth a visit!

She claims its a Juried process to become a vendor but will come back and say she already has other vendors selling similar items which is rarely the case. People who want to support local and small businesses should steer clear of her, her business and her organized events in Waynesville and instead should support smaller events with more locally sourced vendors and artists

This shop has a great selection of locally made, artisan gifts that support Cherokee makers, and you know it because next to each item that is locally made, there is a description that includes the artist's name and their tribe. This was super helpful in knowing what items to purchase!! The woman working in the shop was so kind, and I found out upon checking out my items that she actually made the turquoise earrings that I bought!! So special to get to meet the maker. I will be proudly wearing the earrings I purchased here and will certainly tell my friends and family to visit Native American Craft Shop when they come for a visit!!

We went in October of 2021, and the young ladies that were running the store were super friendly, offered to personalize ornaments, and were as helpful as they could be. This is an awesome small business --and you should definitely go, enjoy looking around, and supporting a small business. They have a TON of Christmas decorations. Looking for a gift for a teacher? They have ornaments peculiar to teachers. Looking for a gift for a nurse or a doctor? They have ornaments peculiar to medical personnel. A lot of the decorations leave room to personalize them too. My daughter LOVES coming here and is in wonder looking at the decorations and all of the lights. The store is really cute, there is street parking out front, and is in the beautiful town of Dillsboro. It is next door to the Jarrett House (currently undergoing renovation), close to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad (GSMR) train station, with a lot of other stores, restaurants, and a chocolate store.
