Here in North Carolina, we’re lucky to experience a little bit of magic every day. One only needs to venture outside, to glimpse the Blue Ridge Mountains, the beautiful coastline, or any charming town in between to appreciate the beauty of the Tar Heel State. Yet today’s attraction is truly one-of-a-kind. With its whimsical charm, the Collettsville Cup House — also known as the Collettsville House of Mugs — looks like something you’d discover in a storybook. Whether you’re a fan of beautiful artwork or you appreciate a good coffee mug, you’ll be enchanted by this unique landmark.
