    Snake Song is a great place for finding unique flowers, trinkets, and more. The inside is very…read moreaesthetically pleasing. They offer in-store, ready to go bouquets and plants. There are a lot of flowers inside that are well preserved, but they sometimes also have fresh ones. At Snake Song, you can place orders online for custom flower arrangements. They have a nice variety of options for you. They also offer valentine's day flower arrangements that are very pretty and sell out quickly. The workers are very knowledgeable about products in the store and always more than happy to help assist you and do the best they can to answer questions and suit your needs.

    Wow!! This is a truly unique, beautiful and fantastical store! The owners are herbalists, florists,…read morewood workers, and farmers. I think that there's a group of friends in ownership. So, they sell their own salts, herb blends, elderberry syrups, healing salves, tea blends, vinegars, fire ciders, and honey blends. They also have fresh flowers, flower arrangements, fresh herbs and eggs from the farm. Plus, the inside is very ornate and whimsical. It almost feels like walking onto a movie set or into another world. It's definitely worth a drive to check it out. I even bought one of their t-shirts. I'm so impressed with how Sylvia is growing and see local entrepreneurs opening businesses like this!! They just opened in the winter of 2021. And, I'll definitely be back soon.

    The Museum of the American House Cat is one of those stops that feels both interesting and quirky…read morein the best possible way, the kind of place that you pull into on a whim and walk out of smiling because it exists at all. The collection is a tight little maze of memorabilia, artwork, toys, signage and all the odd bits of feline history someone loved enough to gather, and we were through it in less than twenty minutes which honestly would have been quicker except Oliver the tabby, one of the resident cats, decided that we were worth his time. He let us pet him a bit and that small moment of cat diplomacy ended up being almost as memorable as anything in the cases. I kept thinking about a similar museum I visited near Gettysburg that was all about elephants. A fun comparison because I do not have elephants as pets and the emotional connection is of course different. Cats are part of daily life for so many people and that makes this place feel more personal and more playful. The displays are charming without trying to be anything grander than what they are and that honesty makes it work. As a break from driving through the North Carolina mountains, this was exactly the kind of distraction I hope for on a road trip, something small and strange and delightful that reminds you why detours are worth taking. I am genuinely pleased we swung off the main route for it because it added a little spark to the day and gave us a story to carry forward, and sometimes that is all you want from a roadside museum dedicated to the creatures who rule our homes.

    Definitely worth a stop if you are a fan of cats! Even my boyfriend's parents (who are dog people)…read morethought it was interesting. This small museum is absolutely packed with cat collectibles, sorted by theme (clocks, Halloween, music, etc.) There is even a mummified cat from Egypt. My favorite thing was the carousel with the various cat figures on it. Well, my REAL favorite thing was the couple of kitties running around wanting pets! The museum supports the cage-free, no-kill shelter, Catman2 Shelter, so pay your $10 entry fee, pick up some goodies in the gift shop, and know that it's benefitting a good cause.

    We love Christmas so we pulled up to go in. I noticed it was 3:55 and I checked their hours on…read moreApple Maps and it said that they close at 4pm. I called the store to check because sometimes maps is wrong. She said they did close at 4 but that they stay open on 5 every other day. I told her it was our last day in town since we were vacationing. And she was so kind and told us to go ahead and come on in. I loved the store!

    We have been going here for years --and really love it. You should definitely check it out!…read more Recently, the store changed owners as Mr. and Mrs. Potts retired; however, the new owner maintained the magic of this store. 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.
