John was great to work with. You can tell he loves what he does. He took great care of our group. We really enjoyed being part of the process. We had 4 couples with us and we all loved it. A must do if you are going to be anywhere near here. John was assisted by another young man, Josh who also made this a most enjoyable experience. Thanks to both of them.

What a great experience to have shared with my wife. We were there for three hours. Soo much to see, and to admire. Great time to share with family, and guest from out of state. Great food in house, and plenty of parking. Handicap parking with wheelchair ramps.

Wow ! What a once in a lifetime experience it was learning to blow glass and make your own ornament. John was AMAZING! his passion for glass blowing his apparent from the moment you meet him, this is what hes meant to do and his love for his craft is seen in every piece he creates. There were 8 of us in our group and he took the time with each and every one of us to explain in detail his art. Hes a fantastic teacher and was such an incredibly cool and down to earth person, we all enjoyed him personally as well as the experience. His apprentice Josh was also wonderful, he took the time to explain some processes and the science behind the art to us when we were waiting for others to finish, he will be an amazing artist one day, this is truly his calling.Thank you John and Josh for such a once in a lifetime experience and memories that we will all carry with us forever, we all have a beautiful work of art to forever remember you and this incredible experience.I cannot recommend this more highly.

It is a lovely place! They have great art work that you can purchase. Along with other amazing items like preservatives, quilts, clothing, accessories and books. They also have a cafeteria in there with the best foods. Virginias finest dishes! You can even see how they make some of the art work. I actually got to watch someone work with glass and make a masterpiece, it was colorful, just beautiful! Whenever Im near there I like to stop in and see whats new!

This place was great they had so many wares from all the artists that made them it was incredible. it was neat and clean bathrooms were clean outside they have an open air artisan guild and theres a lot of pieces displayed out there and thats a lot of fun I mean it really you know even kids would enjoy it they have a wooden train that wraps around and carries kids toys in its carved out of wood shes incredible stuff so anybody out there if you want to go to a really cool place you need to go to one of the tamarack on the interstate this one was in West Virginia In Berkeley.

This a very nice gift shop! All made in West Virginia, clean, friendly. There was a glass blower artist while I was there. Very unique! A must see while in W.V.

This place is amazing . Great for people of all ages. Lots of goodies and suveniors. I highly recommend to visit. They have of the best art work ive ever seen !

Great collection of arts and crafts from West Virginia artisans. A very nice stop when traveling.for rest break and to have a light meal.

Displays of works and crafts from nearly 2,000 West Virginia artisans. Make sure to schedule enough time to linger and appreciate. I could spend hours, plus lots of money, here. If I were a tourism marketing consultant, I would bring other tourism marketing professionals here on a fam tour to show them whats possible.

Tamarack is a great place to stay on your overnight stop through. It opens its parking lot in the back for all RV travelers to stay in the evening to early morning. They do not allow big rig trucks or your RV to setup, but they do allow you to stay for free over night in a safe spot. Since they offer this, go in and check out their great breakfast and interesting art and shopping.

What a wonderful place to stop and shop. So many great gift ideas from quilts to musical instruments to dinner place settings. Their food court is well stocked and the food looked good. I had already had lunch so it was just a birthday gift and cup of tea, which was delicious and reasonably priced. My wife and I will be back through there in the Fall and will spend more time.

You know those sci-fi scenes where a character starts walking one direction and after a while they end up right back where they started like some kind of weird alien pocket dimension where time and space are different? I had a similar experience at Tamarack.I walked in the building and kept walking and after about 10 or 15 minutes I realized I was right back where I started. I thought I was going insane. Turns out the building is round. I felt like a total goober.The walking sticks they sell are dope as hell.

Such a lovely experience of local artists & artisans! Definitely recommend that you stop in for lunch & to enjoy the artwork, glass blowing, and much more!

My wife adores this place. She and her daughter and son-in-law all got to blow a piece in the glass studio! So needless to say they were ecstatic. Wonderful time and some truly remarkable artisan work.

Nice place to visit and support local artists and info about different areas of West Virginia and cultures of the different regions. Nice book selections and jellies jams and so much more to look at. I enjoyed the wooden kitchen utensils, they are hand made. Of course I purchased a few of these items. Restrooms very clean, plenty of parking and a friendly staff to assist you. I would recommend if you have time, just to stop and look around. They also have a restaurant to, along with hand dip ice cream.

Tamarack is THE best roadside stop if you are driving through WV. You get to learn about what makes this state unique and it highlights what it means to be from WV in the past and present. I love the mix of artisan goods, traditional crafts, and modern art. It is a MUST STOP on your road trip. Pick up a book written by a West Virginian author or homemade pottery with a recipe card included to get a feel for what this state is all about!

I just got to say I love stopping here. There is truck parking at the rest area. If you’re hungry the food is amazing. It’s a bit pricey. But if you shown them your CDL they’ll give you a discount. There’s lots of area. From sculptures to paintings. And everything in between.

Lots of fun stuff that isnt expensive. Wonderful selection of books. Yummy stuff to eat. Nice wines. And if you do have money you could spend most of it here with no regrets.

Love, love, love this place!!! Perfect stop for gas and lunch and a stretch!!! Beautiful authentic artisan wares!

Beautiful art installations on the outside. Bathrooms were not clearly marked. I ended up walking around the place twice looking for them.

So many great locally made items in this place. A perfect break during a long drive. I wish every state has something like this!

This is where the best of the best market their crafts! Fantastic. Good food in the restaurant too! If youre looking for something amazingly unique and very well made, its probably right here. I am always impressed with the qualityof craftsmanship and the skill it takes to make the items here Friendly people, beautiful crafts.

Great place to visit and to enjoy many things made by West Virginians.

By far the best customer service experience Ive had in a long time.

This place was amazing all hand made stuff beautifully made stuff honestly definitely make the stop if you have time they have great food and restrooms too

A joy to have in our state and an excellent showcase of the talent WV truly has. Its an easy place to get your Christmas shopping done!

Very interesting place. Good variety of things to look at. Definitely will visit there again.

Passed this place on many trip ls to Ohio, finally was able to stop. What a fun place the local artists and companies have a great display. Will definitely be going back.

Bought a bottle of mountain dragon Mazery tulip poplar honey Mead. The bottle says it’s dark and sweet with a reddish tinge. This stuff is yellow and sour and tastes of nothing. Huge wast of $20 and it’s not like I live close and can return it and I can’t even get anyone to answer the phone. Stay away from this brand of wine. What a joke. I know Mead and it’s not supposed to taste like this!

Absolutely LOVED visiting Tamarack! We went for the exclusive Fiestaware and stayed for the glassblowing. We did a ‘Make and Take’ session and took home a couple of wonderful pieces. Can’t wait to return!

Perhaps the best highway rest stop youll ever find. Tamarack was built to showcase the best of West Virginia with a food court featuring the Greenbier resort, out-door sculptures, live artisans at work inside, and a huge display store of works by artists and crafts people from across the state. Plus a convention center.

As you would expect most items are a bit pricey but they are all hand made and unique. Even if you dont buy anything it is worth looking around at all the beautiful items. Its like an art gallery. Also come hungry because the food is quite good as well.

I’m just thankful for a great meal and for the people that make it possible to have this type of place open for businesses during our new normal. I got marinated chicken mash and green beans all so yummy. Definitely a great place to stop.

Unique!! Has shops and gifts like no other!! Handmade crafts. Food. Great place to stop on the WV turnpike. Also fill up with gas!!

This has and always will be a stop on my trip from St. Louis to Virginia every time. This gathering of locally sourced artisan made goods is astounding. From soaps to moonshine jellies, they have so many wonderful things. Workshops for the artists on site, and a cafe with vegetarian options that were nice for me. All in all, its too much to sum up in one little summary. Its full of so much culture and it comes along right when you need a break from the driving.

Facility was clean and staff friendly. However, the sandwiches for sale were stale and definitely overpriced. The self check out was unnecessarily slow, taking up to 30 seconds to scan each item and the food way overpriced for the quality offered. The pay at the pump was also extremely slow.Great place to stop for the restroom and to stretch your legs but definitely recommend eating and fueling prior to entering the toll roads.

Beautiful art. Gorgeous crafts. Something for everyones budget, from $15,000 to a couple bucks. Food area clean. Bathrooms nice. Well worth the stop.

This is a great place to stop. They have many unique pieces of artwork made from various materials. They always have unique wood carvings as well. The food at the restaurant is very good. This time I had fresh trout.

Love this place. Very interesting, has lots of beautiful hand crafted items.

I love coming here. I am a truck driver and it is always nice to find a new typeIf place to go.Just a short walk up the steps and viola I am in the best of West Virginia.Yesterday I stopped and ate at the cafe. Had the meatball and pepper flatbread. It was delightful.

Was in Beckley a couple nights figured Id stop in. Friendly staff, and great service. Got a piece of history while there. Great stop!

As always a beautiful place to stop, browse and shop. I always buy honey, syrup and candy here while traveling through the state.

We ate at the Cafe. There are plenty of outside tables to enjoy lunch. Shopped after. Plenty of unique gifts. Prices are on the expensive side

The arts and crafts were very interesting to look at. Got to see a glass blower working on a project. The people were friendly and the facility was very clean.

This is a great spot for RVers to spend a night and have a nice meal or two. Unfortunately, covid has closed the business portion but the rv parking remains available for weary travelers.

Fun to walk thru. Picked up a few Christmas gifts.

It was really nice to find a fun stopping area in the middle of trip from Ohio to Virginia. Many hand made stuff.I payed 12$ for a fly swatter, and that was the most expensive swatter I’ve ever bought.

Beautiful artwork of all varieties available to peruse and purchase. Disappointed in the food service. My coffee order was wrong, staff offered to fix it but I was uncomfortable having the employee without a mask leaning over the coffee counter.

I love walking through here when lm passing through every year or two.

A must stop EVERYTIME. Great for getting kids out to walk in a building. Convenient parking. Convenient access to get on/off the interstate. Always unique finds.Covid19 review- mask wearing is enforced, and modified hours with opening now at 10:00am

Cool stop while traveling! You can watch a glass blowing demonstration and they have tons of locally made products. There is a cafe as well, but we did not eat there.

This was a great place to stop with a group for lunch.

My wife loved the artesian shop. Great break on a 8 hour drive for me.

Usually stop while traveling the turnpike. Something for everyone. Nice respite from the road.

Cool artsy place to stop and by State artisan products and have a nice lunch

Nice place to stop and look at all the souvenirs and special gifts. Unique gifts that are handmade are there too. You walk in a big circle so you dont miss anything. We came right when they opened at 7am. Not busy that early. Im sure its busier later on. Breakfast is pricey but it is a buffet. All you can eat.

Nice stop if you are looking for a quick break while on the road. Great comfort food at the restaurant.

This is a great stop to find treasures created by Artisans from West Virginia. Pottery, blown glass, woodworking and wreathes are some of the treasures found there.

I fairly large space where they have a visitors center and gallery spaces and shops in one area. They showcase local artisans work here and you are able to purchase what you see and take home. There are sculptures and a lovely courtyard, a dining area, galleries and a musical instrument area. Check it out if you are driving by and have a few minutes.

Great place to stop... look at art of all mediums, find one-of-a-kind items! Specialty food items, and more! Love it!

Great place to stop and stretch your legs. Many shops to peruse and on occasion buy something made in West Virginia. We picked up some Crabapple Jelly as it’s the only place we’ve been able to find it since a trip to upper Michigan in 2016!

This is a great place to stop on your way through West Virginia. You can watch local artists at work and purchase their handiwork. The building is easy to navigate since it is one big circle. Parking is easy and convenient. Although I don’t mind paying a premium price to support local artists, the prices here are significantly higher than what we pay at other places for the same craftsmanship.

Tamarack is the most unique crafts center and the only one of its kind in all the lower 48 States specifically focused on WV. As a former Over-The- Road truck driver, I always looked forward to stopping at Tamarack when traveling along I-77 through Beckley. All the items featured are the best of West Virginia, especially the food prepared and served by the staff from the Greenbrier. If you dont take the time to stop, youve really missed a special jewel. After being absent from the road for 16 years, I brought my wife to Tamarack to see for herself. We stayed over just to go back the next day. Now that were back at home in Florida shes already asking to go back!

I love this place. Wonderful art. Great shopping. Fantastic food. Superior customer service.

MAKE AND TAKE with John @Glass Dimensions was so much fun. I was nervous about making a piece due to my overabundance of clumsiness and lack of artistic ability. John immediately put me at ease, walking me through the glass blowing process. I had a ton of fun and laughed the entire time.

So many artesian items to see and purchase, plus lunch was delicious

Maybe the best place to get recommendations for things to do in WV. Try your best to find Logan and get his tips, they are golden!! He is straight up gonna tell you where the locals like to go, not tourist traps or chains. If you like coffee hes got a great following too, in fact a spot in Morgantown I told them I knew Logan and then they said the cup was on the house, I of course did not accept but it was great coffee nonetheless.

Wonderful experience at tamarack, so many beautiful handcrafted pieces and the art exhibit was spectacular! Transcendent visuals and very pleasing atmosphere. If youve never been then make it a point to stop by when passing through Beckley, WV!

Great selection of local products from Virginia ranging from art to food. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stop if youre passing through the area

Well worth the stop. The art is fantastic...all kinds and all for sale. They also have food and rest rooms.

Been passing thru here for years. Today we had the chance to spend the night in the town so we visited this place.The word is amazed. The amount of local artisan products. The food court items were so good, forget the other restaurants, come here for your meal and buy local made items. Just beautifully crafted items with care and love.Find a reason to stop and spend some time inside and the surroundings.

Tamarack is a welcome culinary option in the middle of West Virginia. The meals are tasty, you can get meals that are fairly healthy (a MUCH better option than the fast food joints that populate the interstate exits and rest areas), and the service provided by the staff is wonderful.We always make it a point to stop as we travel to and from Columbus, Ohio to visit family, as its almost exactly the midpoint from our home in Richmond, VA. Take some time to walk around and look at the various items offered by local vendors before or after your meal. Theres a lot of interesting things to see.

A great place to visit! Filled with local crafts and lore.

Love The Tamarack Place. Have been many times over the years, while traveling. Literally something for everyone...

Wonderful place to stop, eat and perhaps do a little shopping. Plenty to look at if you can only afford memories. 50% off for CDL drivers in the cafe on some days. Food is great and better value than what is at the adjacent travel plaza.

Just sitting on the bench with my dog and had a backpack. Was kicked out immediately. Spent a lot of money on yall too right before. Wish I hadnt. Awful attitudes yall are working with there. Stay miserable

A great place to rest, eat, and shop. Anytime we are traveling, we always make it a point to stop at Tamarack! The facilities are always clean and the grounds well maintained.

Nice place to buy locally made decorations, gifts and art.

Beautiful hand made items. Too rich for my blood.

Holy moley!!! Every state should have one. Gorgeous artist-friendly circular building populated by local W. Virginia artists. All media-glass, ceramic, wood, clay, music, paintings, bronzes, kids stuff, tshirts etc. Cafe as well. LOVED IT! Next door to large rest stop with food court.

Huge disappointment. Havent been here in years & no need to ever come back. No where near the products once offered and the food was horrible. Rancid grease taste to fries and sandwich. Bread pudding was ok & at least redeemed the meal somewhat.

This is such a neat place. Great art in here.

Awesome place everything is made on site or in the State. Something for everyone to see and enjoy. Free to look around everything is for sale and food is great

Even my husband loved it, and he doesnt like shopping that much.

Fun place with a great employee who helped us find everything we needed.

There is a restaurant inside the building but no signage indicating that unless you see a sign on the highway or look at Google maps. I walked around the entire building and it looked empty. Finally I saw someone go up to the door and walk in. Once inside it is very nice. Probably much busier during the week. Food was good and prepared to order. Very clean and open. Had Dark roast coffee which was great. Prices and portion sizes were very good. If you have a CDL they tell me lunch and dinner are half price. I had breakfast so it was regular...

I work here so my review is slightly bias. I will try to be as fair as possible howeverIts a wonderful place to stop by on a trip, nice staff, clean facilities. (Not just saying that because I am the housekeeper haha.) Food is really good, even if it is a bit pricey. The real show stopper in my opinion is the art from all around WV. Showing our heritage, and what we as west Virginians have to offer. My favorite place in the whole building is the glass blowing studio, John is an amazing guy, and his glass pieces are soo beautiful. Definitely worth a stop!

Love it! Stop everytime Im down that way

Im sure Id like it more if I had come not in the middle of a pandemic, however the food was good, I had to bring some home with me, and a lot of the stuff there made me think of my grandmother.

Very nice! A nice selection of crafts and art.

Tamarack the crafts were beautiful. However, the employees could have a better attitude.

Nice place to stay overnight in your rv..

Just A Great Place that Showcases West Virginias Artists and their creative soul...everything from BBQ Sauce, to soaps and lotions, glassworks and potteries to wood works. There is a restaurant. There is history. Just a nice place to stop, stretch your legs, and relax, along the way.Some of the artists have begun to overprice themselves, not being as unique or original as you might think...I set a few pieces down for that reason. One example was a water pitcher...over a hundred dollars...well thats no fun. It does not encourage people to bring it into their family and use it and something that gathers dust is not fun either. But some artists are reasonable and their work quality. I couldnt bring myself to spend 40 dollars for a coffee mug. But spent over 200 in my Blenko one of a kind( the sales woman said) ( she better not lie) ( will change my review)vase which will catch the morning light beautifully. Anyhow. I love this place and if you shop, there is something for everyone, whether indulgent or practical...

Love the art and authentic feel. A real treasure and must see for anyone traveling on I-77.

Good showcase of WV talented artists and master artists. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Great food court! (Dont miss the All-you-can-eat-breakfast!)

Quality Wv made items. All very,very expensive,but sometimes one of a kind. I always buy gift.Shannon was extremely helpful.

So many wonderful things here, staff included. Gordon and several others I met on 01/14/18 were all so wonderfully helpful and informative. Ive been here in the rain, on a sunny day and now in the snow. I could spend hours here. I did in fact today. From 5 to almost closing and still felt like I didnt see everything. This place is amazing. They also have hands on Experiences here I hope to be back for in the future. I always look forward to stopping here when travelling through WV. It really is the Best of WV. Dont forget to try the food. I had the best chicken pot pie ever today here.

Great overnight camping!!! Check it out, free morning coffee, wow!!!

Different experience with Covid 19 but always a great place to visit and find unique gifts or a refreshment, take a break from the highways.

Excellent fried chicken! And of course, a Greenbrier peach with cream for dessert!
