The property was flooded and mudded from Helene and the roads were closed due to downed trees and bridges but the way is clear now and the path is open to the house/property.

Friendly people at the House of Mugs. They might let you walk through the house if you're nice.

Even the drive to the House of Mugs is beautiful. If you look hard enough you'll find an empty spot for a mug. Or you can get creative.

The House of Mugs is a sight to behold. It's in western North Carolina near the town of Collettsville, on the Johns River. Mr. Sisk is not only a collector, but a decorator. His entire home, including fence and archway, are covered with tens of thousands of coffee mugs. There is a guest book on the porch for visitors to sign, and I heard that if he is home, he invites you in to see the inside, which is also covered. This is a must see. Especially if you like mugs!
