Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The best gem mining, with the best rocks, best staff. The staff stay right with you helping you identify all your gems.
    My husband loves this place, we have been there 3 times, he has Stage IV Kidney Cancer and has this new hobby as he can not work, the staff are helpful to him and our 10 year old daughter, and from what I have saw everyone else that comes.

    This shop is a blast from the past with a little bit of everything that’s artfully displayed and a delight to walk through. The owner is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for detail. A true gem, such a fun and slightly quirky place to shop.

    The gallery is volunteer run. The two artists that were there the day we visited were very friendly and engaging. I really liked the work of Joseph Meigs who I understand has recently passed away.

    We were on the interstate, but opted to get off to have our afternoon coffee. Kind of wish we had spent more time in the sweet downtown of Sylva. As we waited for the coffees I perused the mercantile side of the shop. Lovely stuff.

    City Lights Bookstore is a cozy, welcoming space filled with new and used books and a feline greeter. We enjoyed browsing, exploring the nooks. The staff was very helpful.
    The cafe adjacent added to our visit.

    I live locally and wanted to give my business to a local company. Well I'm so glad I did!!! Dustin and Alex took very great care of me I couldn't be happier. I'm most impressed with their friendly Manor and very fair price. It was a pleasure!!!

    We spotted this place during a recent jaunt to Sylva. Neat little shop with a focus on sustainability. Great website if you can't make it to the store.
