Too touristy to be like Mayberry. Cool place, though.
I was in Ouray, Colorado in May. It seems like we only saw three or four streets that were paved. Look up some pictures on the internets of that place.

Mayberry didn't have overpriced art galleries and Audi and Mercedes SUVs lining the streets.
Don't get me wrong, Blowing Rock is a very nice place, but it's a destination for well to do suburbanites these days.

One of my brothers lives about an hour away and I've gone through it a few times. Lovely town, and not outrageously expensive (at least the last time I went). Love the brewery in downtown.

Honestly, Texas has many more "Mayberry-like" places than the south.
But to add on to my original post:
Little Flock, AR
Eureka Springs, AR
Bentonville, AR
Fairhope, AL
Homewood, AL
Mountain Brook, AL
Franklin, TN is a good mention as well; although it is getting way too big and congested imo.

Some parts of Homewood are pretty damn rough. Blends a little too seamlessly in to Birmingham proper for it to be like Mayberry, too.

It's one of the prettiest SUBURBS in the South, but that's what it is, a ritzy suburb, not a Mayberry small town.
Yeah
Nice town but Too snobby to be Mayberry.
Highlands nc used to be Mayberry before big money came in. There’s other small towns around There that could be considered. I went to mt airy and it was not Mayberry. It was sad. Pawn shops and boarded up houses.
Maybe there’s another mt airy
Last time I was in Covington, it had that Mayberry feel

Nah, it's been a moneyed retreat for over a century. It's a nice place for sure, but that's what it's pretty much always been more than a regular "small town."

Seriously, if you drive to the other side of Washington Parish, you'll find Franklinton, which is somewhat Mayberry-like.
Covington definitely had a nice, small-town feel 20 years ago. I remember when the LA-1077 exit from I-12 still had cattle guards. It's still very nice up there, but at this point Mayberry is a stretch.

Does that mean no diversity, no crime and the only one married is the town drunk?

Home of the true OT ballers.
My wife is from there and we live close to it. I run through there just about every Saturday AM. The number of people out exercising on Saturday mornings is truly amazing. I have a theory that the higher the socioeconomic level of the area, the higher the exercise activity of the residents. Only people running in Ensley are those running for their lives.......

I didn't think Starkville was a joke. Fits well.
