We stopped in here as it was on our way back from Mount Airy, NC to the cabin we were staying in nearby. I looked around, but there was nothing really to my liking. Not my kinds of arts and crafts. Plus I thought it was kind of over-priced for the location. The lady working there was nice and engaged us in conversation as we looked around the store.

I swung by a place next door for lunch. They were crazy busy though and I saw on Yelp that this…read moreplace did sandwiches so I decided to give them a try. It was barely controlled chaos in the store to say the least. It was a Saturday when I swung through, so all of the tourists from the Blue Ridge Parkway were stopping by for their tourist shopping fix. So I don't blame the chaos on the store so much as the tourists acting all rude and entitled, shoving their way around the store. I digress. The deli sandwich I had was very good, and made promptly. I also had a homemade brownie which had the perfect amount of sweetness and walnut ratio to it. I wanted to try the Possum Pie but just get the nerve up to ask what was in it. I mean it couldn't have been real possum could it? They do have limited outside tables. I was lucky enough to snag one but you may want to pick your food up here and then plan for a nice picnic on one of the parkways scenic pullouts.
