- NEXT STOP...ASHEVILLE NC | BOONDOCKING OUR WAY!
(EPISODE 237)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of, LivinRvision, we stop in Asheville, North Carolina! As you know, we like to utilize our Harvest Hosts membership as much as possible, so before our stop in Asheville, NC, we stop at a Harvest Host called, R.M. Rose Distillery. This place has some very long history to it that we found very interesting. This is what we love so much about utilizing the Harvest Hosts locations during our travels. It forces us to stop at so many different unique places and we end up learning even more history (and of course, finding more great foods and drinks as well). Speaking of, we then we make our way to a Mexican Restaurant with another unique feature in this day and time - a robot food server! We do love our Mexican food and any time we can find a new place along our travels that has good to great reviews, we try to stop. Our next stop takes us to a small campground that we found using our AllStays app. We were needing a place to dump our tanks and this place popped up along our route, so we decided to stop and utilize this handy location and it only costs $5 to dump tanks here! Our next stop was yet another unplanned and unexpected stop. We were looking for a place to have dinner and found another a place right along our route in a historic little town called, Dillsboro, NC. We found a great bbq place called Haywood Smokehouse that has amazing bbq and dessert - just ask pie girl!
We hope you enjoy this episode!

This one left me asking myself, "WHAT am I doing living in the desert?". I reign from GA and now I ache to return to it's beauty and history. OK, also the pies. Shhh...don't tell anybody. LOL. Seriously, that was a beautiful tour that activated my personal homing device some call "the heart". Hmmm....
One of my favorite places in NC but if you guys love this place you have to check out Hendersonville NC it's such a small beautiful town.
Lived in Hendersonville for 18 yrs. Such a neat town. Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Bat Cave are a must to visit. Asheville, changed so much over the years. Glad you were able to see what the town is like now.
Love the little towns that you guys always seem to find. Asheville has definitely been on wife's bucket list.
Boy that is some work for some whiskey! We sure do love these History videos Brian and Michelle. I'm not sure what cracks me up more, y'alls humor or the closed caption that doesn't quite get it right. lol. #seeyanextweek
I so look forward to Saturday's
Watching your videos lifts my spirits
Thank you!!
🧡😊🤓
Watching it right now also!❤
Beautiful countryside. Ashville looks like a nice town. Never been to NC.
Such a beautiful area, thanks for the tour...♥️
My daughter and her family moved to Asheville recently and we visited them in our Grech RV. Thankfully, they had a small flat area on their driveway for us to park. Nice city specially for young outdoorsy people.
The Great Smokey Mountain Railroad out of Bryson makes a stop in Dillsboro where one has time to enjoy a flight of craft beers at the brewery. Good times. 👍
NC is my home. I live in my Grandparents farm house we renovated 40 years ago. We're actually heading up Dillsboro way to Cashiers soon for the first time. There's a lot to see and do in NC. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the bbq recommendation. Will be checking that out!
Love all the little towns you visit, back roads are the best! We can count on you to find a great barbecue place. The Grech is really working for you .😎🤓🥸
Just saying you two, we visited Asheville for over 20 years, visiting the Biltmore Estate as annual members! Wonderful people, wonderful views of the mountains!
It’s an amazing place. We visited it while we were there. That video is next week.
YES…. Welcome to NC and especially Asheville!!!! Enjoy and I look forward to coming along for the ride! 😊
Great video …
Hola 👋 from New Mexico 🌶️...I worked for a lady in her 90's that lived in Asheville,NC and wanted to go back and visit. Wow the spring time flowers are beautiful and she loved the falll colors and drive thru the hills. Thanks for sharing.
Came through Asheville in 2022 in 36’ class A. Couldn’t imagine getting level in that CB. Stayed at KOA West. They have great coffee! Nice when you show us places we’ve been. Visited Biltmore in the past. Safe travels.
Love your banter. We also get a chuckle when we watch your videos. Thx for sharing.
Asheville is one of our favorite places, gateway to cooler temperatures in the summer. Little Switzerland is our most favorite in the general area - views are spectacular hanging off the mountain!
We have been stationary for 6 months and I’m so excited to get rolling again…your journey just makes me miss it even more! Nice content y’all 😉
I’m full. 😂 great tour. ❤❤
Always enjoy watching you guys. good videos
We were up that way last week. We went to a wedding in Black Mountain, NC. It was beautiful.
You were in our neck of the woods! I wish we'd have bumped into you! The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad passenger train runs between Dillsboro and Natahalla (swift water kayaking) which is cool to ride...especially in the Fall and watch the kayakers. When the Olympics were in Atlanta, that was where they did their kayaking events. Glad you got to see some of our beauty...the western mountains are so different from here. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏 Safe travels!
We enjoyed our visit to Asheville. The trolley tour was a nice tour of the city. Safe travels. ❤❤
We took our honeymoon in Asheville in 1979 (yes; we are old). We agree with some of the other posters that Biltmore Estates is a must see while there. The Grove Park Inn is also worth a visit.
The Biltmore is next weeks video!
It looks like you were in Asheville a week before we got there. We have family there and enjoyed visiting with them for a few days. We really liked the area!
Asheville looks like a beautiful town ❤ Safe Travels ❤️🤍💙
My wife and I were watching this video today and we heard you mention the French Bakery in St. Martin. We have been there 3-4 times and always enjoyed it. We always aimed for that location over the years.
How fun to think that you guys are just an hour or so from where I'm currently camping! I bought a Grech Strada-Ion that I got primarily based on watching y'all using them, and I came out here from Colorado in search of somewhere with cleaner air. Asheville is one of the contenders and seems like such a neat city! I hope y'all get to explore it more in the next video!
🧡😊🤓 We were in Asheville about a month ago but we did film the Biltmore Estate and mansion that is in this Saturdays scheduled video.
Asheville is a neat little city!
Thanks for a great video. NC looks lovely. Luckily, I was eating a strawberry tart while you were eating the tiramisu so I wasn’t too envious! 😂
Great video..Thx to you both!!!! Noted stops for planned July trip to area.
Be sure to see the Biltmore Estate, you won’t be disappointed! To give you an idea of what all there is to do and see there, this is todays video that is scheduled for 9am CT. Enjoy your trip! 🧡😊🤓
Fantastic place that KOA! My dad and I stayed there last year. Great people. Enjoy your travels. You two are doing a great job. Love your vlogs!
Can’t wait to see your Biltmore video. I have worked a USGA Women’s Am at the Biltmore CC. My dad retired to Flatrock/ Hendersonville from NJ so I have spent a lot of time there. From my experience the people in NC are all so kind and welcoming. Safe travels.
What a cool little town. I might actually be related to the founder. I was just thinking today that you never seem to hit traffic... then you showed the accident on the highway. I hope everyone was ok. Be safe out there!!
they need a double thumbs up button for you guys... id smash it before i even hit play.... another fun video. thanks to both of you for your channel
im at an rv park in carthage nc as i type this. we are next to a small airport for small planes...its been really cool! here for our daughter's graduation from nursing school and loving it! its been an adventure to say the least since we had 4 nights to get here and 4 nights back to arizona. its been a few decades since ive been in this part of the country during the spring. its gorgeous!
NC is another beautiful place. The Spring is a great time to see new things bloom. Great video! Happy belated birthday Michelle.
Thank you! 🧡🤓 Happy belated birthday to you too, Bill!
Thanks for taking us along ! You mentioned a family name, so now I have more research. We'll be passing thru Asheville later this year & stopping at Vinnie's Italian restaurant. The buskers in Asheville are so much fun & yes, you will see a few "things". Safe travels ! V & W (and now I'm hungry 😁 )
I have to say thank you so much from Germany. Your are the only "RV TH-camr" (maybe there are other too, but we foundet only your chanel)who giving us subtitles in German. Thanks!!! Of course we are are your follower ;-) Greetings from Bavaria/Germany.
Du bist herzlich Willkommen. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen Ihre Videos gefallen. 🧡😊🤓
Love Asheville! Mountains are beautiful! Those desserts looked amazing especially the pecan cobbler! Pecan pie is my favorite so I would've been in Heaven too!
I’ll be going to that Mexican restaurant in Dillard in about three weeks! I hear it’s great.
I stayed at that little campground near Dillard where you dumped. It's a Passport America park. She only charged me $10 for the night. Lots of road noise, but it's a good overnight stop, and I felt safe there. I was in Dillsboro last weekend. My friend highly recommended the BBQ place, but we were just walking around town, not looking for a place to eat.
Can’t believe you rode right by & didn’t stop to say hello! Could’ve had pie! 😊
😂 We sure wish we would have known, we would of loved to meet you!
Michelle, all that pie!!! I am worried about your Sugar? (LOL) You two enjoy the journey and tell us about all those pies Michelle!
Hi guys. Congrats on 50K subs. Love Asheville. Maybe I'll swing by when I leave ATL
Thanks! Hope you’re doing well!
Happy Mother's Day Michelle! 💐Love, Shelley & Donald xx
🧡🤓
Happy Mother’s Day Michelle. We discovered Haywood Smokehouse a few months ago in Franklin, NC. Agree with you that it is very good barbecue, especially the brisket. Safe travels.
Thank you! 🧡🤓
You guys always make me hungry. Biltmore is beautiful at xmas!!
Make sure you go to New Burn NC , great history and awesome people.
Thanks. Next time. We left NC close to a month ago.
Next time in town, tour Biltmore!
That’s next weeks video! Stay tuned!!
Asheville is a cool town, glad you got to enjoy the downtown. The main attraction is the Biltmore Estate and now the Sierra Nevada Brewery just south near the airport. So many other breweries if into that. And of course the Blue Ridge Parkway is great in either direction from Asheville.
Next weeks video. 👍🏻 😊🤓 We were in this area about a month ago.
You go stop at the Julian Price Campground, they have some of the best showers available in the campground scene
New Morning Gallery in Asheville is one of my favorite places. Wish you had visited there. Loved the beautiful horse running in that pasture. Where to next?
Stay tuned! 🧡
@@LivinRVision you know I will!
Give All the gluts!! I love most everything chocolate!!
Asheville is extremely expensive and a little dangerous. I live just down the mnt as we say. A small town but we have Linville falls and tons of waterfalls . Any way Asheville is beautiful. If uou want tj see beautiful scenery head up Mnt. Mitchell.
Jeanna, im coming to Hendersonville at the end of the month. We've been to the waterfalls in Pisgah Nation Forest....looking glass, sliding rock, all of those. Is Linville comparable? If you can give me any advice or tips I would appericate it, thanks 😊
@@sheramiedelozier3122 Linville Falls are beautiful ,it's been a bit since I've been. There are many falls including Catawba in Old Fort. Smaller but still beautiful . Old Fort is very small but growing. Then Marion has Lake James. A trip to the top of Mnt Mitchell is so beautiful. I worked st the restaurant near the top for a couple of years and it is breathtaking. The restaurant is closed now but I think they are working on reopening but they have consessions at the top. The views are some of the most beautiful on this earth in my opinion. There are camp grounds in Black Mnt and I know there's a rd that comes out near the top of Mnt Mitchell. Sorry I don't know the name. I'm sure you could find it . I live so close and tend to take it for granted. I need to get out and enjoy it myself. Be careful in Asheville though. There's alot to see but it has become very dangerous.
@@jeannapresnell7272 thank you so much for the reply👍
Hey Brian and Michele, we are headed to North Carolina Thursday. Enjoyed your episode!
Safe travels!! Have a good time!
@@LivinRVision Thanks!
What's up guys John and Linda sollazzo new york safe travels guys happy mothers day Michelle
👋🏻 🧡😊🤓
I was sitting there telling you don’t forget the blocks lol
😂
Michelle love your hair short! At the opening start of your episode! Shelley ❤
Thank you! Yes it’s been awhile since it’s been that short. I let it grow out for ease of traveling but I’m due for a cut again. 🤓
How was the peanut butter whiskey…hubby likes peanut butter! Great video! 😊
Very good! We bought a bottle.
It would have been difficult for me to not buy a variety of the whiskeys! I wonder if they have those tiny dark chocolate bottles filled with whiskey? That would be delicious!!
Fun!! We just went past that Cat Museum! We were on our way back to metro-ATL from The Smokies and took the southern route. Saw another Mast General Store in your video. Have you ever been in one? The original has been open since 1883. Be safe on your journey. We enjoy the restaurant referrals. We zoomed past Dillsboro but our destination was Doug's Place in Emerson, GA for their fried chicken and Southern home cooking. Safe travels and be Blessed.
We don’t recall ever being in a Mast General Store. We’ll have to try and stop next time.
@@LivinRVision there are several around the southeast. Fun old-time shopping, moon-pies, RC (cola) and candies.
As always awesome video! Thank you for the tip on truck stop showers. We will try those out. 😊 Was all the gluten free things good? The way Michelle described the pie would make me wanna suffer some gluten results.
Only tired a couple but the tiramisu was the best. 👍🏻😊🤓
When you leave Asheville heading W on I-40, you are only about 3 hours or so from Cookeville, TN. If we could somehow know when you got there, we could meet you at the Cookeville Cracker Barrel.
We sure wish we could have. We are far from the area now. This was about a month ago when we were in Asheville. We usually have the dates in the video.
@@LivinRVision Nest time, for sure. It would be great fun to actually meet you guys.
Wife and I will be stopping on our way to Greenville at the Haywood BBQ. Loading up on some of that pecan cobbler before a week’s babysitting gig with the grands. Thank you for the video!
Enjoy! 🧡😊🤓
You know, watching these videos is expensive. We booked a Princess cruise right after watching your video. 😂
😂 Well we can definitely understand why. That was SO much fun and we are now ready for another.
@@LivinRVision ❤
We enjoyed Haywood Smokehouse today in Dillsboro. It was delicious! But the topper was the pecan cobbler as you suggested. Safe travels!
Some of my family is from Asheville area, it’s a very pretty area at least I think so. I thought for sure you were going by the biltmore estate. It’s been a long time since I went through there. Brian you hit the jackpot on gluten free! 😂 safe travels!!
The Biltmore is next week. 😊🤓👍🏻
What a beautiful home. They have great places to picnic by the pond and they have a food truck that serves great BBQ in Antler Hill Village!
You are lucky about parking. Asheville usually has these high priced pay parking. Not a friendly place to park.
Another wonderful video Brian! As a newbie to the RV world and to TH-cam, I wondered if you have considered hosting a workshop for newbies?
Thank you! We would have to hire some help in order to tackle anything else. We have many projects that we can’t keep up with as it is and always have to push them back just to spend time with friends or family when we get together with them occasionally for dinner etc. But it helps keep our sanity. Lol
Our other “free time” when exploring, we’re filming. We haven’t hired anyone yet like some other channels have other than some recent help with our website which will be updated soon. I built the website, but had to hire someone to do some updates for us. We love your idea and would love to be able to do that sometime. 🧡
@@LivinRVision That's completely understandable! You are both an inspiration! Happy Mother's Day to Michelle!💐
If you guys are in North Carolina there is a Thousand Trails CG in Lenoir. I follow you on U-Tube love to meet you.
We are long gone from there now but we didn’t stay at that TT. Would have loved to meet you.
Love Asheville. Did you see the Pubcycles? Lots of cool stuff, eateries and great art district. Biltmore House tour is a must. Enjoy.
👍🏻 We filmed the Biltmore also (next weeks video). We were in this area about a month ago for a short time.
Asheville? Gluten free bakery? 😮 hold the plane I’m running 🏃🏻♂️😂
#GFLife
😂👍🏻
I'm a chocolate lover also, so I would have to stop there too! I'm interested to know if either of you found some whiskey or other drink you liked at RM Rose? It seems that they really have a good thing going there.
We liked the Peanut Butter whiskey.
Dang guys!! My buddy had a cabin at the top of the mountain in rainbow springs which is just west of Franklin. I used to go up there every weekend till they sold it this past year. I sure miss that place!! Im currently just east of Greensboro about 20 miles. Im currently finishing up the remodel on my 82 MCI MC9 which is an old retired greyhound bus. I finally went full time last week but won’t be traveling yet till I finish the remodel in another month or two. Im currently staying on a friends property but can’t wait to start traveling but don’t know what kind of trouble I’m gonna have being a 40’er?
What’s your plans after Asheville? What direction are y’all planning on heading after Asheville?
A
Well, y’all take care and be safe out here on the roads guys and hopefully I’ll catch up to ya somewheres out here someday
Sounds nice, would love to see it when you have it finished. Congrats on full-time!
We have already went quite a few places since Asheville. We’re currently hitting as many places as we can in the evenings and weekends to gather as much content as we can before we get back to Iowa to visit family.
@@LivinRVision oh lord, I used to be a Hawkeye too. We lived about 8 miles west of Coralville right off I-80 in a really small area called Oxford Iowa. I worked on the SE corner of Cedar Rapids at Cedar River Paper Company and my wife worked in Iowa city at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and she was a burn nurse there. There is a KOA campgrounds at the Oxford exit off I-80 and I could see it in the winter from my front porch after the corn was cut and it used to be a nice little place with a fishing pond and swimming pool when we lived there. We left there tho unfortunately in 2002 and went to Colorado until 2006 and then came to NC and been here ever since but have always missed Iowa except for the bitter winters. There were s couple Amish groups just south of us in Kalona Iowa where we could get fresh cheese curds all the time that I dearly miss!
Well guys, be safe traveling and I’ll catch up to you somewhere at some point down the road! Have fun out there!!
Hello !So I was wondering what app you use. I kept going back to hear what it was, but no luck.Can you please share were class c travelers thanks
It’s the same app we have mentioned before, the AllStays app.
Hot us up if you come through Chapel Hill.
Did you get anything from the chocolate store?
We got a gluten free peanut butter cookie, but nothing chocolate.
Brian, are you using a 360 camera now for some of your video recording? BTW; you going to tour the Biltmore Estate while you're there?
I use mostly the 9 & 10 GoPro currently.
Yes, we toured the Biltmore while we were there. That video is next week.
@@LivinRVision I have been impressed at how smooth your panning around is as you're traveling down the road so that's why I thought you maybe had added a 360 camera. Where you headed next from Asheville?
Stay tuned! 😉
To much Peanut butter whiskey?
😂 No, just tasted it. We actually shared the taste because we had to drive. Bought a bottle and haven’t even touched it yet. 😂
You staying on tunnel Rd?
This was a few weeks ago.
FIRST TO COMMENT!!! ;)
😂🧡
Do you have a book or something that highlights the best places you have eaten?
We have not put anything like that together.
Turn your seat around and look at your bride for a " beautiful view "
😂 100% correct and I tell her that often. We hope you have a beautiful bride to look at as well.👍🏻😁
@@LivinRVision I'm kidding Brian I watch them all ever since the clas A love you guys
All stays app? Can't seem to find that app.
I just typed allstays with no spaces and it came right up on a Google search.
Try all one word, “AllStays”. It comes up on Apple as AllStays Camp but the app
Itself will say AllStays. It will show up by just typing AllStays.
It is not available for android. That is why will not show up.
Happy Mother's Day Michelle! Cooking is overrated.
😂🧡🤓
Happy Mother’s Day, Michelle! ❤ 😊 I still look so forward to your videos every Saturday morning. Thank you 🙏 again for sharing and making we feel as if I am there, experiencing your adventure myself. Love 💕 your channel!
🧡
Sadly Asheville is not what it used to be. Be very careful, its littered with drug addic camps. The homeless has tripled in the past few years and crime is way up. Be safe out there...
Homelessness is not surprising given the super high cost of housing.
@Frank most of the homeless are on drugs...they are not working class that go to work every day and can only afford a tent because of the cost of housing...
Hey...I had a question. A few weeks ago you mentioned the health insurance y'all use, and someone named "Jason" that was help. Do you have a link or phone number for them?Thanks!!
That was not us. Our health insurance is through Michelle’s employer.
@@LivinRVision ok....thank you, This is what happens when I watch 7 different RV TH-cam shows a week!!
😂 👍🏻
You two looked stressed in this video.
Actually we were not, BUT…we often are after a long day working. We both have a lot of work related stress. Come spend a week with us sometime. 😂
@LivinRVision 😀 My wife and I enjoy your show a lot and look forward to the new episodes. Safe travels!
One thing you don’t have to worry about is being called bums or riffraff staying in a quarter million dollar Motorhome.😂
Used to love Asheville until I was attac-ked by Bee LM activists that would rather be-at me down than explain their movement to me when I said I didn't know much about it....
They're beating people is their movement.
Welcome to our little slice of hell
Oh, don’t worry about filling up your black and grey tanks just go down a back road open the valve and start driving.🤣
😳 😱
The slight format change is fantastic. Interviewing HH and others such as the pie lady(sorry Michelle, not you this time😄) a couple of weeks ago and the gentleman at the distillery. Nice addition. Stay safe, stay well. See ya next week.
🧡😊🤓
@@LivinRVision and congratulations on 50k subscribers 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
