Specifically, I am a big fan of the BC stores including BC Outdoors, BC Market on the Square and BC Bakery. Regarding Bryson City Outdoors, they are connected to a tap hours so gear on the left and beer on the right. What's not to love? If you don't love beer they have wine too! Much to my surprise, I skipped the beer and went for gear. After perusing fleece jackets, hiking shoes, headlamps and the such, I landed on a new pair of socks. Not that I needed anything but the employees were so kind I just had to support this local business somehow. Hmm, maybe I should have gotten a pint after all. Lots of good stuff and quality brands for the whole family - all nicely organized. Overall, a great place located on the corner of Main Street and Everett. Most definitely one of the best stores in town.

Very disappointed in my experience with this business. While visiting Tiger over the weekend, I…read morestopped in Madison's and was impressed with the shop. My friends and I stayed for quite a while. They were offering a 20% discount on your entire purchase during your birthday month. I was excited about that as my birthday is in November and spent nearly $400, which I wouldn't have done if not for the discount. I checked out, discussed the 20% off with the sales associate and was even required to show my ID as proof. I checked my receipt the next morning and realized the discount was not applied. This was Sunday and the shop didn't open until noon. We had to leave that morning to go back home out of state. I called when they opened, explained the error and was told there was nothing that could be done except give me a discount for the next time I shopped there. I don't live anywhere near Clayton. I find it hard to believe there's not a way to credit my card back the discount amount. It's a nice shop but I won't be returning with that kind of customer service.

Absolutely love this place!…read more If you can, please be sure to drop in! Such a wonderful array of items at reasonable prices! We found this shop as a part of the Great Smoky Mountain train ride, and I would definitely go again to enjoy this shop! I wish this shop was closer to home! If you enjoy great fashion options and DYNAMIC customer service this is the place for you! I wish I took photos of the inside but forgot too since I was so excited! I purchased tennis shoes and a beautiful sweater. They had a lot to choose from! Also, recommend following them on FB! https://www.facebook.com/Maddies-On-Main-Dillsboro-248764620370311/

The quality of the kid shirts seems top level! Soft and a little stretchy. I found myself asking the employees to help me find women's size extra small, and they said they don't get that size in stock. It seems like it isn't asked for often/ever, so I was glad I checked. I left with size small which will be big on me, seems like the sizing runs large, but it'll be cozy! All in all a wonderful place to stop and buy a keychain, any type of mountain-themed clothing, or any number of other things. Prices seemed reasonable or as expected. I spent 61 dollars for one adult and one child shirt. Thanks Loose Moose for the friendly service as well!

If specialty foods are your thing, then you can also find some treats at The Cottage Craftsman. Cheeses, sauces, syrups, and more. I went home with two syrups made in North Carolina - Ginger Peach and Strawberry Lavender. After touring the Biltmore (because I had to see where Richie Rich was filmed - duh), I was regretting not snagging some wine to take home. Luckily for me, while shopping in Bryson City, I found a few different Biltmore wines at The Cottage Craftsman. I bought a few, including their Christmas at Biltmore Limited Edition to bring home. There are also handmade soaps, jewelry, and other unique items to purchase. If you want to snag some pretty awesome gifts for yourself or someone else, then step on in to The Cottage Craftsman. You'll be happy you did.
