Being a Brevard resident I can sincerely ask that those of you who are tourists and not from here. Please pick up your garbage and obey the forest laws. We don't mind having you visit the beauty of this place, but leave it as you've found it please.
I agree where ever a tourist goes to pick up trash. Not friendly vibes. Reminds me of Astoria Orgeon, if your not from that area, even for 2 decades you are a new Comer and don't fit in. I would say not thank you. Environment is great about the people, the community that makes the town. Gorgeous because, God did it all. My daughter loves squirrels and we have not heard of a white squirrel that got left from a carnival. Whoops! Left some baggage. How town's and cities grow. Not into smug hateful attitudes towards others.
Always a snob in the room.
Calling them a snob is being too nice....I call them "TURDS!"
Is this a liberal town with pride and drag fest and anti Trump stuff?

I went to Brevard College in 1958 to 1960. Loved it there. One small movie theatre, 4 lane bowling alley, 2 pool halls. I was born and raised in Chicago, so big change.
I love Brevard! I went a few years ago but still learned a lot about it from this video. The scene where Seth fell down was hilarious.
North Carolina holds a lot of nostalgia for us! Brevard is a beautiful place 💕 We don't see many waterfalls in Fl so we are so giddy when we get to see them in other states!
Relatable! When we live away from the mountains for a long time we’re just happy with any big hill we see, much less waterfalls. 😊 but then when we live in the mountains and visit Florida with the tropical vibes, wildlife and crystal clear water we’re in awe too.
I have went to Brevard for 3 years straight now. Every time I go I feel like it's my first time there. Everything there is so relaxing. My favorite part about it is the fact that the waterfalls and mountain views aren't that far away, matter of fact, just down the road from the house I stay at there is a waterfall. Every year I go I have to go to Pretty Place and Living Waters. If anybody that sees this ever goes to Brevard, I definitely recommend Pretty Place.
Awesome! We live in Fletcher and know the area well. It's beautiful country and a photographer's dream.
Nice, we haven’t explored Fletcher yet. I love it’s location though. Yes!! The photography ops there are the best! 😊
Brevard was good back in the mid 90s when i was in high school. No tourists all the waterfalls to your self. Plenty of times going up to turtle back falls by myself. Swimming, Falling asleep on the rocks only to be woken up by a rain storm and absolutely not 1 person coming down the the falls...
I live in Brevard and one VERY important thing to consider is that it RAINS SO MUCH here. More than Seattle, and almost twice as much as the national average. It rains almost every day in the spring and summer and it can be miserable.
I love the rain. Sounds great to me
It sounds to me like you're trying to discourage people from visiting or moving there! 😂
@@Metalmirq 👀
😂😂😂 Sure bud. You say you love the rain. Well you haven't been to eastern North Carolina in the summer.🤣
@@desertodavid 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Awesome.
I think we will go to Brevard for the weekend in April!
Great idea! 😊
My favorite is Hendersonville/Flat Rock just down the road from Brevard. I lived there for a time and hated leaving! ❤️
Oh yeah, beautiful area!
Western NC is beautiful, this includes Polk county and all the vineyards. NC produces really great wines.
Definitely true! 🍷
We have heard of the town of Brevard but have never been there. It looks beautiful. There is so much beauty in the mountains of North Carolina. I had never heard of white squirrels or blue ghost fireflies before. Thanks for introducing us to Brevard and its unusual inhabitants!
North Carolina is so beautiful. The waterfalls are just so relaxing. I am curious what the official white squirrel count is for this video 😂-S
BEAUTIFUL NORTH CAROLINA ❤
💯
Great video! It was shared by a local resident who wanted us to see where she lives! So true about the water!
That's so cool! :)
This is so cool and awesome😀.
Thank you!
I've lived in Brevard for years. Born here. I like it.
Good morning! White Squirrels would freak me out. Oh wow, book to waterfall transition is awesome! Love movie locations. Waterfall negative ions - learn something new with your videos. I miss flying my drone. Every time I want to fly it it rain, snows, or super windy. That cottage is so nice. Blue ghost fireflies is something little Rosalie would love.
I live just up the street from you thumb nail pic. And lived in town to. My aunt and uncle used to live in the linger long cabins before it become what it is now.
I really appreciate your video and info on Brevard. My wife and I really love the NC mountains and we've just added Brevard to our bucket list.
Awesome, thank you! :)
Just moved to Asheville 10 days ago (November 2022). So far I love it. Been exploring the area and all it has to offer. I can't wait to see the white squirrels. I may want to keep one as a pet (kidding). Thanks for the video!
Awesome! Enjoy Asheville, great choice moving there. Haha, yeah they are so cute.
Brevard nc supports President Trump2024!
I never knew Brevard had white squirrels and ghost fireflies. That sounds pretty cool
Thank you for wonderful video! It is really interesting & motivating for travel. Cannot wait when all of us start easily travel again!
Haha as someone who just moved to Brevard yepp the white squirrels are my fav thing :)
They’re awesome! 😅
We've been to the Smoky's NUMEROUS times and I just watched y'alls video. We have missed out on so much!!! I even took notes, haha..... GREAT video, we'll definitely gonna check out Brevard, NC when we go back next month!!!
not much there , the forest and downtown are nice though .
Great Content.💯
Love the White Squirrels.
We were just there this past week on vacation loved this small town. Seen so many waterfalls and lots of wild life as well. If you love this town you will love Hendersonville as well.
im going this year for the holidays, im so excited
Great video guys. Thanks
Beautiful! Great job as usual! I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve busted my butt in a creek! 🤪
Thank you! Haha, same…could use that to fund more adventures. 😃😊
Wow it's an amazing place.. Looks incredible and too chill..
Is beautiful carolina
Yes it is! 😊
a lovely video. thank you. I agree about enjoying nature and enjoying family time ~ love the science about that. blessings!
Great Vlog!
Greetings from Naples, Florida. We used to live in Pinehurst, N.C. and have visited Brevard and surrounding areas several times. We always enjoyed our trips there. Thank you so much for sharing with us, have a great week 👍💯
That’s awesome.
How do you like Naples?
Enjoyed your video,we visit Brevard often.We live in Tryon,NC,I think we are about 35 mimes from Brevard.We also live in a beautiful town.Columbus is also a great town at the very foot of Tryon Mt. Thanks
I have never been to Brevard,but I'll definitely go there some day.I love Boone and West Jefferson and all the areas around so I know I will love Brevard too.
Oh yeah, those are great areas too! :)
Appreciate the science lesson. Great video 😊
I lived near Brevard over 30 years ago…I’m sure it has changed, but planning on visiting there later this year.
I agreed on the trash. Keep it clean too. My aunt and uncle and cousins live there. Love to go to Brevard all the times.
it's amazing!
White squirrels radio! Love the waterfalls, I’d consider visiting for these beautiful falls alone. Once COVID restrictions loosen I could drive to NC in a day. Those cabins look deceiving, way better on the inside.
Blue ghost fireflies! Wow those are incredible, I’d be happy if they migrated north. Brevard looks like a great spot, thanks for sharing!
I knew you’d appreciate the falls! There’s nothing like waterfalls, I’d drive a long way for waterfall chasing too! Let us know if you do decide to come down to NC in the future. Would love to meet up if we’re stateside when you do.
Covid restrictions? Where do you live?? Haven't had any restrictions in Indiana for a year.
@@jamebrooke894 Canada, we couldn’t cross the border until recently
@@JeremySmithOfNewScotland WOW! Worse there then here under Brandon's rule! Hahaha! Oh by the way in Goshen Indiana they have completely " Black squirrels ".
My grandfather came to America from Canada.
Such a great video. Next time get up to the top of Sassafrass Mountain where you can have one foot in NC and the other in SC and look out to Georgia. It’s awesome.
A Big Like! 👍 💯 ❤
So chill, I would love to check out the waterfalls. I live in a waterfall county in NY... its badass and I cant leave
What you said about the negative ions was mad cool
That’s so cool! I’d love to do some more waterfall chasing in NY!
Some of the Brevard family of North Carolina in the 1700s are in my family tree. Margaret Brevard was the daughter of Robert and Sarah (Craig) Brevard. She was born in 1754 in Rowan County and she is my 5th great-grandmother. She married John Huggins in 1772. I didn't know there was a town with their last name, but it must be named after the family. I know they were a big family, and early to North Carolina. I hope to come back there and travel around, and see the places my ancestors lived so long ago.
LOVED this video and now more than ever I want to visit Brevard at the end of Sept. when we travel to NC to snoop around to find a retirement home.
Awesome! It’s a beautiful place for it
If you head down 276 South from Lingerlong, you'll find pottery places, Conestee Falls, and Pretty Place, which is beautiful at sunrise. Raven Cliff falls are just over the state line.
You’re awesome, thanks for the tips! 😊
Thank you for sharing, I have been there and I'm going to relocate I'm from New York... Just doesn't give off the same vibes ✌️
I live here! Glad to see your videos
Awesome, thank you! 😊
Thanks
North Carolina looks an amazing state!
It’s pretty awesome!
🦇😊
Nice portrayal of my family's home town. The tourist that are responsible and their spending money is good for the people. Over the last 50 years ive seen it Grow...i hope it never sells completely out. And ..please people...dont litter and...well...just come..enjoy and leave nuthn but good people pristine natural beauty and footprints. This place is my family's chur h and Eden. Relax. Peace n White Squirrels to all. 🤟❤
thank you so much for this video! i'll be driving from florida with my family to meeet up with my in laws in pigeon forge. i thought that itd be nice if my family of 4 have our own mini trip before we meet up with my wifes family in tennessee. so this video has helped us to stop in brevard for 2-3 nights before we continue on to pigeon forge. after this video, for sure i'll choose to stay 3 nights! i figure one full day in pisgah and the next full day in dupont.
Thanks For this one , we will be going there in the future ! If you have any more near the Blue Ridge
Parkway , please Post .
Awesome hope you enjoy it! We’ll be posting some more in the future from that area!
I love Brevard but I also love the Boone, Linville Caverns and Moravian Falls area of NC. Ok - North Carolina is wonderful, delightful and beautiful - period. Way over on the east coast there is the Outter Banks - that also is super cool and fun. I'm from South Carolina and have participated in the whole NC - SC rivalry. I love SC but when I want to go on vacation, I go to NC.
I see you have found, my favorite falls- Moore Cove Falls. I have been to most of the falls many many times. I have followed the book by Kevin Adams on NC falls. He has three books and each one tells the difficulty of each falls, the length of each falls, time involved, etc. hope you have this book. The 1st one is the best. He has others. That is good also. Good luck on your travels. The best place to go is Brevard.
I think I went to Brevard College for one year 25 years ago. How strange, I had totally forgotten. It is a lovely little city though.
Wow, that's awesome! :)
We lived there from '89-'93, really hated to have to move back to Maryland. I loved the hiking opportunities and loved the small-town environment.
@noshooz21044
We thank you for returning your politics to that from whence you came!
Next time go to the Cedar Mountain Cafe! It's at the west entrance to DuPont Forest, best breakfast in the county 3 years & counting 😊
Will do, thanks! 😋
Hello my friend 🙋🤝🙋🇨🇭🇨🇭
Very beautiful video 👍👍👍
Big like 💯💯⚘🔔⚘💕💕💕💕
Hello from Too HOT Texas. So my wife and I knew nothing about NC, still don’t really. She found something on the internet about Brevard and we are planning a Labor Day trip there. If things go as well as we think, we will move out there in about 5 years to retire. I was very concerned that I might be making a bad decision but your video really helps me out. When we are about a year away, we plan on a trip and living a couple months in an airbnb just to make the final decision. I think we will come around 4 times a year before that. It looks terrific though. Thanks for the video.
Hey, that’s awesome! It’s definitely a lot cooler in that part of NC. Especially in higher elevations. I think retiring there sounds like a great idea. Have you visited yet, if so, I’m curious to know how y’all liked it?
Wow,we have black squirrels here in westfield, ma.they were gifted by the French a long time ago . : )
I went to Rock Brook camp in Brevard when I was 12 and 13 years old.
Awesome!
Want to move here!! Visited last year from Texas
Nice! I live in Atlanta, and I want to move there too. Would gladly make that trade.
Everybody loves the mountains here we have 20 million annual tourist come to visit Brevard and Asheville. Before everyone comes visit though learn the roads, figure out where you are going and don’t stop in the middle of the road if you missed your turn just keep going and turn around somewhere. This is not a big town at all and it makes people lives that live here easier if everyone who visited learned the area first and learned the roads.
...and as a FREE SOUL I feel chills thinking of a land of end< BEAUTY !!! ☝️🕊️💥💯✊🇺🇲
:) :)
lived near highlands NC not that far from Brevard, my son returned to the are from western NY. Awesome place
I’ve visited Highlands a few time. Love it there! NY is another gem of a place, especially for us waterfall lovers! 😊
@@laurenandseth I'm not far from Letchworth St Park and Niagara , have been to Taughannock Falls a few times. there's a water falls near the end of Horse Cove Rd in highlands area . Locals used to call it Secret Falls
We all know the outdoors makes us feel better but...Thanks for the science behind waterfalls. That's so cool.
Stop at liville falls and visit the caverns while you are close by. I live in morganton, nc and lake james is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and cleanest lake in nc! (My opinion of course) 😅
Awesome vlog, what camera do you mainly use to shoot these beautiful places?
We had a few White Squirrels in Ohio for a few years.
Great video!
If you're worried about positive ions (the science is sketchy), you can take a shower (negative ions).😘😘😘
and lose weight
What I love about Brevard? Not one parking meter in the whole town! Are you listening CHARLOTTE???
Yes!!
definitely notice, living in the area , that "tourist season" here is dreaded by us locals because they destroy our area..please keep it clean when visiting
Thank you guys for such a lovely and informative vudeo. How far is Brevard from Raleigh? (Two hours drive?...Three hours drive ...or maybe more?)
4.5 hrs
1:52 next time youre in Brevard at the white squirrel shop, My ex girlfriend knits sweaters for those little stuffed squirrels. People love those things.
That's awesome!
It's a beautiful place I would love to visit there how is the fishing?
I live about 30 minutes from Brevard, NC.
Spent a week , a very nice down town , one of my favorites and my favorite store the Man cave . what I did like about it was the forest was right there . Not a lot of restaurants to eat at but there is this Puerto Rican restaurant is that they have a variety of good food . their Wal mart is the worst walmart that I have ever been to . the white squirrels are neat ,Hendersonville to me is alot nicer and more to do .
Thank you so much that was very informative. Quick question is the town dog friendly?? because I take my dog everywhere with me
Also let's not forget the Twin Dragons Chinese Restaurant it is by far The best You can sit down and take up the buffet or order something special this restaurant is Big and by big I mean big and has the greatest customer service also the Brevard Music Center that has programs through the year and what we call Restaurant row on the 4 lane where you can drive through and 3 grocery stores near town
We have white squirrels at my house in Henderson County
Awesome! 😃
안녕하세요🥰부부의 영상은 매우 흥미롭고 재미있네요~영상 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다~구독했어요🥰좋은영상 기대할게요🥰
By the time I can retire up there a used singlewide trailer will cost 250k. But seriously, I'm in Durham and might drive up there. Thanks.
No kidding, prices are ridiculous! 😬 Enjoy the visit!
Brevard is nice but the secret has been out for a while. Lots of people and lots of traffic during the tourist season.
Thanks for Sharing!
Bucket list!
❤
Hey guys did you see any black bear around......i saw them in Maine....friendly and shy.
how much a nite is the builtmore??
And serious mountain bike trails ….
True!!
Land of the White Squirrels
Ok I know it's beautiful, what about fishing?? Trout fishing?? Rainbow & Brooktrout??
Brevard local here 👋🏼 Davidson River is amazing for trout fishing!
There’s a fish hatchery too
Hi. Can you tell me what is the best time to go to see fall colors?
Mid to end of October ❤️
What up
I am 76 years old. Does this town have a good hospital, in case I have a stroke or heart attack. Health care is very important to Senior citizens. How far away is Asheville?
Unfortunately, the hospitals have a bad reputation, so that is something to think about. I live in Hendersonville and probably will move back to Charlotte in the next 6 to 8 months, but we will see. I am almost 62.
Where are the black squirrels? Asking for a friend.
I prefer the Boone area for the snow and cool summers, but Brevard looks nice.
Bring ur checkbook with u, they dont know what the cheap means!!
Transylvania county? 🧛♂️
Right, I love that name!
