    Amazing variety and really great prices. I found a gift for…read moreeveryone! I thought I was gonna get them the usual trinkets , but I actually found good stuff they all loved! The staff was also super friendly and kind to my kiddo!

    I'm visiting Maggie Valley for the week and staying across the street from this store. I was…read moreexcited to shop for shirts and hats that say "Maggie Valley" to bring home to my family--especially because my name is Maggie. Unfortunately, my experience here was extremely upsetting. While I was browsing, I felt repeatedly watched and rushed by the owner/employee, who told me they were closing for lunch in ten minutes. Since that wasn't enough time to finish shopping, I asked if they could hold the items I had selected so I could return shortly afterward. I was told they could not, so I said I would come back. When I returned about an hour later, the man told me, "The owner just called and said he doesn't want you in the store." I was completely confused and asked why, but I was so caught off guard and upset that I ultimately just left. I genuinely cannot understand what I did to warrant being told I was not welcome. I had simply been taking my time looking for gifts. I've had a wonderful experience throughout Maggie Valley, but this interaction left me feeling extremely unwelcome and embarrassed. I have never experienced anything like this before, and I'm very disappointed that what should have been an enjoyable shopping experience turned into this.

    I visited this place with my mom, sister and niece a few weeks ago. The shop owner and his wife…read morewere very nice! I didn't notice that there was a $5 minimum on debit cards and my first order came up to $4.75 and he said "close enough." He told my sister how to pop the popcorn she purchased in the microwave in a paper bag (and gave her some extra paper bags) and he let us try the Amish pain relief cream. He was full of stories and overall just a really nice man. I don't see how this place got a negative review. I'm tempted to drive the 5 hours to go back because I really love the handmade oatmeal soap I purchased!

    Stopped in to look around and noticed we were the only customers. It only took a few minutes to…read moresee that the rest of the customers had probably been chased away! The storekeeper apparently doesn't like folks too much - especially folks that might want to buy something. My husband and I were eyed suspiciously while we walked around the store. I chose four replica vintage spice canisters and moved on to look at some vintage signs. The storekeeper rushed me out of the aisle with an abrupt "excuse me" and began slamming boxes around angrily on the next aisle. I thought maybe he was just having a bad day and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then I noticed that there were little handwritten signs on all kinds of items around the store. "Do NOT touch lamp, do NOT get the signs out of order (vintage sign replicas in a bin, how are you supposed to get them out of order?), do NOT, do NOT, do NOT - there was even a sign on a cheap little clown figurine that read "broken by a LOSER" (I assume this LOSER must have been an actual customer)?! Mind you, nothing in the shop was actually vintage or antique - all just typical souvenir quality reprints. My husband and I looked at each other like "oookkkaaayyyy" and put our selections back on the shelf and left. The souvenir shops in this area are a dime a dozen and it's unfortunate that a shop with a "stand out" name like Tarnished Swan didn't have the customer service to match. As far as I'm concerned, there is a "do NOT enter" sign on this door!
