My daughter and her family are in Bryson City this week for the Polar Express and have rented a beautiful cabin! I'm just being nosy looking up your town to see where they are. It's a lovely town and I would love to visit there myself one day!
I really enjoyed your tour of Bryson City. We were about 15 years ago. We took our grandson to ride Thomas The Train. He was about 4 and loved Thomas and had quite a collection of the trains from the Thomas books. We stayed at a quaint motel which I don't think is open any longer. The owners were so kind. We were able to walk to town and enjoy some of the restaurants. There were quite a few empty buildings back. I like seeing how it is booming now. We also took The Nantahala excursion train. Our grandson really enjoyed the train museum. We have so many fond memories of our trip to Bryson City with our grandson.
I love to look at the cam of Bryson City on Resort Cams. I have always wanted to ride the train, never have. It sure is a neat little city. I love all of those little shops. I hope you can ride the train sometime and make a video. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos so much.
Took a train ride from Dillsboro to BC way back in 2003. It was a free ride I won in a contest for a Valentine's day promotion. Sure enjoyed this adventure. Y'all are truly wonderful and I appreciate your hospitality. God Bless 😃
We were there a few weeks ago and we were able to walk in that building at the train yards and get info on the train rides and book our tickets for the next day.
@@FridaysForever it was great. We highly recommend. Get the enclosed air conditioned car with the tour guide. Interesting info and history about the area.
Heading there tomorrow. Will definitely check out your recommendations. We stayed at the Gatlinburg Inn and told Bunny we stayed there because of your video. Thanks Again !
I was just up at harrahs casino and hotel for Christmas but didn’t get a chance to get to Bryson city because my dog wouldn’t let me due to being left alone in the room . I really regret not making the trip to Bryson .. thanks for your excellent video tour !!!
Thanks for taking us along. I’ve been to a lot of towns in the Smokies but not Bryson City. Hope to visit sometime and hope you all get to do the train ride. That would be awesome!
Thank you for sharing all the places y’all go all over, as you said some of us will never be able to go to any of these states and or towns for whatever reason. I’d be tickled if I could make it to Tennessee again, haven’t been there in years, I still have family done there, and miss my 1 aunt still living. Thanks again guys. Love you videos.
Love seeing those trains my Grandfather worked his whole life on L&N railroad in Kentucky and my Father worked at Southern Railroad his whole life in Kentucky seeing those trains brings back memories they have both passed on I will see them again one day😁
I enjoy your videos. I love seeing the Smokey Mountains through your lens. We got to go to the Smokies about 6 years ago for the first time on an early Anniversary trip. Bryson City, NC, holds fond memories for me however, Years and years ago we had a Gospel singing group that came to our church in Michigan, they were The Inspirations, and i remember them mentioning they were from there. It looks SO beautiful there, i would LOVE to visit. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you both, have a wonderful trip.
Hey Mike and Karen I hope your day will be a good one I'm glad you couldn't take me along on the trip to Bryson North Carolina and also for the people that's unfortunately will never get to see that place can at least watch it on video y'all are great keep up the good work till next video God bless
Thank you for taking us to Bryson City again! We will be visiting soon as well! Taking our grandson on the train and doing some hiking. Love your hat! You always look so good in all your hats Karen. We are excited to be visiting Bryson City for the first time. Great video,and thank you for sharing!
Great video we actually have family there but have never been to Bryson city . We really need to plan a trip there . Thanks for the tour, love y’all’s channel .
This was a great video. Ya'll are such a wonderful, loving couple. I rode the train about 32 years ago and went to the Deep Creek waterfalls about 8 years ago but didn't get to walk through downtown neither time. I'm sure it has changed since then. Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day I'll get to go back and walk the streets and check out the shops. Thanks for sharing another wonderful video.❤ Love the hat and tell Big T hello.😁
Enjoyed the video. We have been on both train rides here recently. Enjoyed it so much and love the area so we came back for our 13th anniversary and did the three waterfall loop hike. It was a great rewarding trail and the three waterfalls were beautiful. Later in the day we renewed our vows at the road to nowhere tunnel. It's always a great time when we visit Bryson City. Thank you for the video.
Awesome video, Mike just like you said most of us will never be able to get to Branson. So thank you and Miss Karen for showing us the town. I hope that you can get a reservation for the train.
Great video! Have never been to this area but it looks like a nice place to visit, thanks for taking us along. We rode a train once in French Lick Indiana it was really something neat to do! Loved your new hat Karen & the one you were wearing too!
Glad to see y’all finally reviewed Jimmy Macs. One of my favorite places to eat there. When a motorcycle drives by you should slow the scene down and let it slowly pass by, for old times sakes. Ha.
Thank you for taking me with you on your visit to Bryson City. Definitely would love to go there on my next trip to Gatlinburg....also I really loved your hat you bought❤
We vist this past spring❤🚂 The town was cute and had a beautiful train ride. We saw people videoing the day we rode the train. Thanks for sharing your adventures and God Bless 🙏❤🚂🤗
Rented a very rustic cabin there last year. Rode the open air train and ate in that same restaurant 😋 . Also the Loose Moose. Visited the shops Enjoyed it very much 👍
Mike & Karen, really enjoyed your video and thank you for taking me along with you! Karen, love your hat and the one you bought too! Your food and ice cream looked so good.
Thanks for the video! My wife and I will be back down that way in October and our plans are to head to Bryson City for a day. This video was very helpful. Question ... have you all ever hiked the loop which has the 3 waterfalls? That is also our goal when we go to Bryson City. Have a great week and thanks again for the video!
We rode the GSMR in August of 2021 and on the return trip to Bryson City one of the cars derailed. Was not a huge deal but we did have to be bussed back to the train station.
I went there at the end of last year for vacation and try to move there, but it's so hard to find a house to rent. Very nice and small town that is very busy because if not mistaken it caters not only to tourist but all of Swain county. Deep creek is awesome. I could get a job there but housing is a problem, my family is from Sylva and Franklin NC. Thanks for video, feel like I'm still there. If anyone has a solution to moving there or surrounding area, please comment to let me know.
As a local born and raised I think there’s enough people in Brarson city now way too many I miss my small town and I wish to train with the leave and never come back I do not like it
Uh, no. The only draw here are two great train rides with two days' experience. One night or two is enough. There is nothing else. We found only two decent dinner restaurants, and one too expensive which we did not try. One good motel.
We had lunch at Jimmy Mac's, recommended by a local. Perhaps we ordered badly, but our food was less than ordinary. We try to eat healthy food, so no potatoes, no hamburgers. And to be fair, there were other eateries that we did not have time to try. We had one good lunch, and one good dinner. On the train rides, bring your own food and water, as many did. Our box lunches on the train, that they sold us were NFG. You can get good ice cream anywhere.

Keep up the great videos!
Hello!! Great to e
see you again. The river looked a little high. Better head for high ground, like to the PEDDLER!!!
Thanks for the comment Jim.
Glad to see y’all finally reviewed Jimmy Macs. One of my favorite places to eat there. When a motorcycle drives by you should slow the scene down and let it slowly pass by, for old times sakes. Ha.
Thanks for the comment Shane! So you would like slow motion of motorcycles? Lol
@@FridaysForever yes, a some slow motion scenes on bikes, the next one get might be us! Ha!

Bryson city looks big compared to some other places you've stopped.
Here I am.. Rock you like a hurricane... could barely hear it.. old time favorite. We always plan to include Bryson City in our trip but never make it
Haha - thanks so much for sharing!!
Rented a very rustic cabin there last year. Rode the open air train and ate in that same restaurant 😋 . Also the Loose Moose. Visited the shops
Enjoyed it very much 👍

Thanks so much Carla! We did not receive a message from you?

I wonder if it didn't go through?
@@FridaysForever Mike and Karen, would you send it to me by my mom's PO Box in my about on my RUclips channel?
@@carlavision6143 We sure will! Thank you.
@@pastormikefriday thank you! Mike and Karen, I've never won anything from any giveaways until now. Thank you!
Have y’all been to Blue Ridge Ga? Ever thought of visiting, if not?? 🙂
Yes, but no video - maybe next time.
Beautiful city
It really is!
Thanks for the video! My wife and I will be back down that way in October and our plans are to head to Bryson City for a day. This video was very helpful.

I’m so happy y’all are at Bryson…next go to Boone and Blowing rock NC

Oh wow! Guess this is always a possibility. Thanks for sharing.
How long is the train ride and the cost.
Nice visit to this cute town. How far from Gatlinburg? Thanks for the trip.❤️🙏
Thank you for the comment Pamela! 45mi our pleasure
Is there a park and walking trails

Y'all ever heard of fig, nc?
We had plans to bring our camper to the Bryson City area this summer but canceled due to the high fuel prices
So sorry to hear this but we understand - hope you can make sometime.

We hope you enjoy it Garry!
