      Guys Cooper Creek is a trout farm with a big pond full of rainbow trout and some are real big. You don’t need a license to fish there and they give you a pole and bait to use.. They will even clean them for you if you would like.. and it’s on a beautiful twisty and turny Road that follows the creek for about 3 miles..It’s amazing!👍🐟

    We love visiting Bryson City! Great video guys. We went to the Road to nowwhere. We saw that rooftop place, at the time I thought it was a restaurant. Looks pretty cool, even though we don't really drink. Still cool looking. I wanted to visit Darnell farms the last time we were there but we ran out of time. Looks like a cool place. We check out BCO too. They have some really cool hats in there and lots of other stuff. What brought you to Bryson City from Miami? Later!

    • @thegreenehome
      @thegreenehome  2 года назад +2

      Thank you!! Oh yeah you should definitely come back and explore Darnell and some of the other trails ;) If you're not averse to cold weather, the off season is actually really nice and a bit more empty here.
      So... Jaime's grandparents originally bought a home here sort of randomly (they were looking to be close to their kiddo in Asheville and landed in Bryson City). We were living in Miami and would come visit periodically and something was always REALLY special to us about the area, but we never imagined living here... until one day, it just made sense to make a BIG leap. Honestly, all credit to Jaime for saying "let's do it!" I kinda leapt blindly on faith it would work out and here we are almost 4 years later. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ No regrets!

      @@thegreenehome Yeah we were just up there for our anniversary about two weeks ago. Feb 17 ish. I actually made a video of our trip but we stayed in Bryson Village right on the edge of town. Pretty cool spot. Last year we came the same time and stayed at some cabins on the sane road but further down. That’s how we found these.
      That’s a cool story. Always love finding out how ppl move to a certain area. I’ve lived in the sane place my whole life so this is home. Native S. Carolinians! If I moved it would be to western NC though. We go to Waynesville and Maggie Valley a lot. Been going since I was a kid.

    I am coming on Friday with my 2 daughters ages 10 and 13 to do the polar express. Normally we come there then head home but since it’s a trip without my husband we are spending the night. Any ideas on what would be fun for the 3 of us? The craft beer would be on my top list if it wasn’t just me 😁

    • @thegreenehome
      @thegreenehome  3 года назад +2

      Hey Adeline! Okay, for the three of you, we highly recommend Darnell Farms for the day as well (it's a great family-friendly atmosphere) and you must try their dream whips 🍦 Walking around downtown Bryson City and window shopping is always fun for kiddos that age. BCO is a nice outdoor store with a taproom and a food truck. Although people lounge with their beer, it's less "craft beer scene" and more families and pets enjoying a great spot and food ;)
      And, of course, outdoorsy places like The Road to Nowhere and Deep Creek will be easy ones all 3 of you can enjoy! Hope this helps ♥️

      @@thegreenehome The pizza at Mountain Fresh Grocery is great. They have brick oven pizza and lots of other food available. Since we hike a lot we end up eating most of our meals there. It's quick and so good. Do the waterfalls along RT 64 heading towards Franklin. Also, to have some time to yourself check out the pull offs along RT 64 towards Franklin. You usually can find a private spot to yourself to go in the water - even though the area gets crowded we always find a place to chill in the water. Recommend doing a drive to Cashiers too and checking out Whiteside Mtn Trail (between Highlands and Cashiers) - get there very early as it gets crowded. Cashiers has a good coffee shop with sandwiches that we always stop at. If you need more just reach out.

    Fun video! Looking to visit this fall with my wife and kids and meeting my dad who driving down from MI, we'll actually be coming up from South Florida. Did this last year as well and stayed in Gatlin, but was way too touristy, and we were out everyday hiking waterfall trails anyway so figure nice to find a place this year a bit more off the beaten path. One caveat that does make things a bit more interesting, wife will be 7-8 months pregnant at the time lol, but just curious does Bryson seem like a good fit for us? Looking to rent a small cabin/house ideally, if you know of any good spots would love to hear!

    • @thegreenehome
      @thegreenehome  3 года назад +1

      Hey Sean!
      I hope we're not getting back to you too late! Bryson City will feel VERY different than Gatlinburg... FOR SURE haha Gatlinburg is its own unique place. The vibe here is FAR less touristy and more small mountain town vibes.
      Now, on your wife! I think there are enough trails and things that her being 7-8 months pregnant would be okay. Cris' sister came to visit us just last week and she is around there in her pregnancy. We didn't do any strenuous hikes, but we walked Deep Creek, explored downtown, saw the elk in Cherokee, etc... so there were many things she enjoyed and felt good about! Also, she was coming from Miami so she appreciated our weather for sure!
      We have two suites available for rent, but it's not a house or cabin. While no specific one comes to mind, there is SO much available! Be mindful to refine the search if you don't wanna drive too far. Some cabins tend to be tucked away and can be a 30 min drive** so that would be our only suggestion.
      We also have a one page guide of our absolute fave spots (this is a refined list not an everything in the area list, only our top recommendations!): bit.ly/ourBConepageguide
      If you're curious to check our suites out, here they are :)

    Hello Greene family. Congratulations on your pregnancy. We LOVE your RUclips Channel! I had reached out to you awhile back and wanted to ask if you know which city or cities you could recommend with the coolest summer temperatures in North Carolina near the Blueridge Parkway. We are considering purchasing a summer home to escape the Florida heat. My fiancé wants to be close to the Blueridge Parkway but at the same time we need to also concentrate in having a pleasant summer weather for June, July and August. In recommendations would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    • @thegreenehome
      @thegreenehome  3 года назад +1

      Hi!! Of course we remember!! ❤️❤️ okay! So, first, we’ll say in comparison to Florida, the summer anywhere here is more bearable heat-wise 😂 in Bryson City (and the surrounding area) if you go higher in altitude or on any trail nearby the temperature immediately cools so it’s a great way to escape the heat. BUT it does still get hot! Generally, towns in higher altitudes will have that cooler weather you’re looking for, so check out places in the North Western part of NC (between the Cherokee national forest and the pisgah national forest). Some towns that we looked at when buying our home were Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Boone, Blowing Rock and Sugar Mountain. Happy house hunting! 🏡
