Originally I visited The Honey Hole with a friend from West Jefferson. Since then I have gone back…read moreseveral times, and my friend offered to purchase honey-related items for me when they are in the area as well. We are in love with the honey butters and also the honey flavors. The shop owner is so helpful and personable. She even offered to gift wrap the honey butters as I was getting them early for Christmas, and she also packaged them for traveling for me - such thoughtful customer service! Over the past 40-50 years West Jefferson has certainly changed, but this small town has so much to offer visitors to see and do! Don't miss a visit to the Honey Hole and West Jefferson!

I didn't have much time to look around as my dog was waiting in the car for me, but what I saw appeared great! They have homemade jams and jellies and canned foods for sale, Ashe Co. cheese, fresh baked goods, local soaps (including Hogwash!) among other things. They sell ice cream and drinks, including Dippin' Dots. They also have live bait for fishing, rafts for river floating, snacks, and more. The two people working there today were exceptionally friendly. They asked if I needed help finding anything. When I informed them that I didn't need help and couldn't stay long because my dog was in the car, they understood and proceeded to give me two small dog treats to give him! (He loved them.) I will definitely be back.

We decided to check out the Park Vista Diner to grab some food as we ventured West into Tennessee…read more When we arrived, we saw the Watson General Store and decided to check it out before going to the diner for lunch. There was only one other person inside and they were tending the store. We were able to talk with her for a while and learned some interesting historical information about the property. She was very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed talking with her. The store was built in 1902 and operated by the Watson family for many years. It unfortunately was lost to time and had fallen into disrepair, but the little Parkway general store is finally now resurrected and reopened as a local gathering place/ provisional store! They opened February 23, 2025 and intend to be open year round. Located just steps away from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The general store was also the location for the post office for Beng (Benge), NC. from 1902 to 1952. The general store was the gathering place for the locals. The town however has been lost to history. They now serve coffee in addition to the essentials and some gift items they provide. The front part is a little sitting area with numbered coffee cups on the wall for the locals. In the rear of the store you can still see the post office area. We picked up a few items and wish them the best of luck. This was a really cool stop learning about some of the history.

They have a nice variety of flavors and they are baked fresh to order. The store is very a aesthetically pleasing. The decor and ambiance are beautiful. Service was also very friendly and helpful. The girl helped explain the different options and was patient while we debated all the amazing choices! I was unable to take any pictures of our cookies because my family and I devoured them the second the box hit the table! Hahaha. The cookies take about 15 minutes to be ready, so just be prepared to wait. Trust me, it's worth the wait!!

There are a lot of large cookie type shops out there and they always get it very very wrong…read more Appalachia is the exception. Brought my family in and we got 8 cookies to share over a weekend. The cheesecake cookie may be one of my favorite things ever, chewy and spiced perfectly, their ferrero rocher one has deep chocolate flavor. Family loved the chocolate chip, sugar and animal cracker flavor. Highly recommend. When we were in our way out of Boone heading back home we stopped and grabbed another 6. I also should add that ordering ahead will save you about 20 mins.
