Wow.. what a horrible experience from the incredibly rude staff & owner. This is supposed to be a shop selling all local artist pieces and the staff was annoyed when we asked who the piece we wanted to buy was made by, furthermore when we asked for it to be properly wrapped and protected (entire glass piece priced over $200) the owner came out to give a dissertation on cardboard boxes for the item and that it would be fine. We have been residents for 3 generations and over 30 years of all artists and respect art.

After a few minutes, a lady came down into the shop and turned the lights on. I knocked on the door, she rudely put her finger up for me to wait, I came in when she finally opened the door to nicely explain that myself as well (as the others) were confused and hoping to quickly obtained our pre-purchased tickets. She was not pleasant, but we got our tickets, and headed up to the...
Read moreGreat spot for great American made goods. Looking to decorate? I would recommend a visit to Mountain Laurel Artisans. The sauces and canned good were mighty fine. The jewelry is beautiful. I bought a nice American made puzzle for my mother for Christmas. I bought for my brother, the perfect gift, a little metal sculpture. I need to be sure to get back to beautiful Berkeley Springs before Christmas to finish my holiday shopping.
Mountain Laurel Artisans is a beautiful and centrally located little shop and a MUST VISIT! I was so impressed I went out of my way to write this. I’m thankful this store exists! Love this all...
