Mystic Mercantile — Local services in Covington

If you're a Vampire Diaries fan or just someone who loves unique, one-of-a-kind experiences, then The Mystic Mercantile is an absolute must-visit! I can’t even begin to explain how much fun my visit was—it was beyond my expectations, and I’m already planning my next trip!

First off, let’s talk about the tour—WOW. I’m a huge fan of the show, so stepping into the recreated Salvatore Mansion Great Room was nothing short of magical. The room felt so familiar, like I had just stepped onto the set of one of my favorite episodes. The attention to detail is insane! From the furniture to the decor, everything was so meticulously recreated. It really felt like I was in the Salvatore brothers’ home, and I couldn’t get enough of it!

Our tour guide, Maddi was AMAZING. She was so knowledgeable about the show, and you could tell she was a true fan herself. She made every moment engaging, pointing out fun facts and sharing behind-the-scenes stories that you won’t find anywhere else. She really brought the history of Mystic Falls to life. Maddi even pointed out little Easter eggs that only die-hard fans would appreciate—it was clear she loved what she does, and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. You could ask her anything, and she had an answer, which was awesome. Plus, she really made sure we had plenty of time to take photos in all the best spots.

After the tour, I headed straight to the gift shop, and let me tell you, The Mystic Mercantile does not disappoint. It’s packed with Vampire Diaries memorabilia that you can’t find anywhere else. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for clothing, home decor, or collectibles. I was absolutely thrilled to see so many unique items—tons of stuff you can’t find online or at other shops. And don’t get me started on the Brothers Bond Chocolate Bars—they’re only sold here, and they are SO worth it. Not only are they delicious, but they also come in such cool packaging that makes them a perfect keepsake for any fan. I bought several to bring home and share, but I ended up eating a few on the spot—they’re that good!

I also loved the variety of other merch available: mugs, t-shirts, keychains, posters, and so much more. Every item felt special, and I could feel the love and attention to detail that went into curating the collection. Whether you're looking for something to remember your trip by or a gift for a fellow Vampire Diaries fan, you'll find it here.

The whole experience was such a treat. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better way to immerse myself in the world of Mystic Falls. From the incredible tour to the awesome merchandise, everything was top-notch. The staff was friendly, and the vibe of the shop was just perfect—cozy, inviting, and full of magic. If you're even remotely a Vampire Diaries fan, you absolutely HAVE to visit The Mystic Mercantile. I can’t recommend it enough!

I’ll definitely be back for more tours, and I’ll be picking up some more Brothers Bond Chocolate Bars...

If you’re even a tiny bit of a Vampire Diaries fan, you absolutely HAVE to visit The Mystic Mercantile—it’s like stepping right into Mystic Falls itself! I’ve been a fan of the show for years, and I can honestly say that my experience here was one of the best I’ve ever had as a fan.

The Salvatore Mansion Great Room tour was absolutely incredible. The moment I walked in, I couldn’t believe how spot-on the recreation was—it felt like I was walking through the actual set of the show! The furniture, the decor, the little details everywhere—it was perfect. The tour guide, Laura, was fantastic! Shee really brought the place to life with his knowledge of the show. It wasn’t just a boring walkthrough—she was so engaging, sharing interesting behind-the-scenes stories, trivia, and even a few fun tidbits that only true fans would appreciate. I loved that she took time to answer all our questions and make sure we got plenty of time to snap photos in the best spots.

After the tour, I couldn’t resist exploring the gift shop, and wow—The Mystic Mercantile is a true Vampire Diaries lover’s dream come true! They have so many cool items, including shirts, posters, mugs, and even some rare collectibles that I hadn’t seen anywhere else. One of my favorite finds was the Brothers Bond Chocolate Bars—I had to grab a few, and let me tell you, they are SO good! I loved the fun packaging, and knowing they’re only available at the shop made them feel extra special. I can’t wait to share them with my friends.

There’s also a great selection of other exclusive merchandise that you can’t find anywhere else. Everything from home decor to accessories, and it’s all high-quality and reasonably priced. It was such a treat to be able to pick up something unique to remember my visit by!

The atmosphere of the shop is perfect—cozy and welcoming, with that perfect blend of Vampire Diaries nostalgia. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better.

I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of the show. The tour, the merch, the vibes—everything was spot on! Thank you, The Mystic Mercantile, for such a...

The store was very nice and had a good variety of quality merchandise. They had a good selection of outfits from The Vampire Diaries. The reason I gave my review only 3 stars is because we were not greeted when we walked in or spoken to at all while we were there. We actually felt like we were in the way because they were changing window displays around. I personally would think a store wouldn't change window displays on a busy Saturday and wait until a weekday when it wasn't so busy. One guy working seemed very annoyed about everything.

I had such high hopes for The Mystic Mercantile and would have loved to have taken the tour. Maybe we can try again but this type of trip doesn't happen often because we don't...
