We are all safe and well. There are many people who are suffering or lost their homes though. It’s been a heartbreaking time but we are getting through it. Thank you so much for your wishes.
My husband and I discovered hit springs 10 years ago. We fell in love with the place. We enjoy the hot tubes that are filled with the healing waters. Yep, we stayed in a couple of the small but charming cottages close to town and houses next to the river. One of our favorite places. Small towns our our kind of places. Great place for camping as well.
I had a great uncle that use to take the train from Marshall to Hot Springs. My roots run deep in Marshall and Hot Springs. My great grandpa use to sit at the courthouse in Marshall and wait on family coming to town to visit
I was just in Hot Springs last weekend to hike the Lovers Leap trail, which has amazing views of the river below. The motorcycles you were hearing are most likely enjoying Hwy 209, aka "The Rattler" - which is almost as curvy as the infamous Tail of the Dragon further west. Thanks for another fun video! They're all so entertaining.
I've hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail goes straight through more than 3 towns. Hot Springs, Damascus, Harper's Ferry, Boiling Springs, Port Clinton, Duncannon, Bear Mountain, Those are just the ones I can think of right off hand. I'm sure there's more.
I am sure you are correct. Sometimes we don’t have all the answers spontaneously so I may have to look them up later- here is what I found- “There are 56 communities along the Appalachian Trail's corridor that have been recognized in the A.T. Community™ program. These towns and cities are assets for everyone who uses the A.T., providing food, supplies, recreation, history, volunteer opportunities and so much more.”
My mama family is from warm springs jane gentry is her grandmother she was a special lady cousin owns the hardware store my dad mom 3 brothers my son an many of are family are in oddfellows cemetery there rip❤ we still family reunion there
Considered Hot Springs but despite the charm, we decided it was too remote. Ended up in Black Mountain. Western North Carolina abounds with cool small towns. Love it!
@@reapthewhirlwind4166 In the downtown area itself, it’s coming along. Ingles and a BP gas station reopened. Black Mountain Presbyterian and Monte Vista Hotel providing meals and donation stations. Trash dumpsters and starlinks at ingles and tractor supply. Downtown didn’t flood much so infrastructure’s there. Power coming on in some areas. Water will take weeks to restore. But areas outside of town and on the outer edges of black mountain are bad. Lots of communities off Hwy 9 which is a lot of switchbacks up and over the mountain on the way to Chimney Rock. Hwy 9 is now passable but mostly one lane. 4 minutes down my road, it becomes Fairview, and houses by my church slid away in a mudslide and many lives lost, not everyone found yet. I was away for a planned trip when the storm happened, or else I would have been stuck there. My dogs are in a kennel in Swannanoa. Thankfully high above the awful flooding. But they have no power or water. My husband is driving up to get them and take supplies to the kennel and to friends that lost their homes. It’s going to take a very long time for the area to recover. The magnitude of it all is hard to grasp.
Only the black ice in the hills on the roads sometimes! If you are quessy, take your dramamine like you are going on a cruise! Tried to take my wife up the mountain roads to the Blue Ride Mountains! I wanted to show her where I spent my summers in the 1950's, (Newport, TN, and Bybee, TN), Pigeon Forge River fishing at night for Cat Fish with my older cousin Rodger! Just saying that life in the hills of NC, and TN was a real adventure in my youth over 60 years ago!
I like the country but also feel I can't be more than 10 miles from a Walmart. You make it sound so good in Hot Springs and you are so delightful/ interesting/ attractive/ natural ect ect.
I’ve seen the mountains change so much in my lifetime. The mountain culture and accents are dwindling away as the newcomers move in, bring their influence, drive up housing prices, drive out locals whose families have lived there since the 1700’s. Will the rich heritage we held onto through story telling and music survive? Makes me sad. 😢
13:26 As an Indian, I can confirm we be seeing a lot of plastic buckets in markets. 🤣 Also, is it my drunk ass or this woman just the most trippy and fun realtor ever…
I don't think it is your drunk ass, but I was visiting Asheville with my wife and friends for over 25 years! We just stopped because we cannot do all that walking and steps anymore! We were Biltmore Estate Annual Members for over 20 years! In our early 50's, we thought we would retire in Asheville, NC. Suddenly the prices went crazy in Asheville, and our three sons and grandchildren are still here in Ohio! Just saying, I look, but have not moved yet! I do enjoy your channel, you and the staff are fun and peppy!
The native wildlife and environment isn't doing well, due to the mass numbers of people and development. People want to improve the environment, yet do not comprehend the symbiotic living system's that are required for a healthy environment. People do not even comprehend their owns body's living systems, so it's fair to say that not only are we harming the environment, but our own body itself.... The best one can do with the bag of shekels, is to invest in way's to improve the health of the place you are in, rather than run from the issue's that are negatively impacting all things. You can either be part of the problem or the solution. There's too many people in the Asheville area. It cannot self sustain at this time.
I think that is why the little towns around are getting so much more popular as well. There are a lot of people all over the country experiencing extreme weather and our neck of the woods offers a refuge from that.
@@livinginasheville and what happens to the native living eco-systems that have been able to survive to this point from people seeking refuge from the places they have destroyed?... It's a human made tragedy, by a system of exploitation (way of life for people-belief)... It's discouraging when people support and encourage the expansion home development into locations that still have functional native living systems... these systems are far more valuable than what any person can provide for the area. Yes, I agree, there are a 'lot' of people experiencing environmental challenges where they are, and it's for a very obvious reason.
And people are not appreciating your taking their peace away to invite crime, crowds, drugs, traffic etc. to their life. Find something else to do and let people live in peace.
That guy was literally telling her how the people moving there were making it impossible for HIM to live there. 🙈and she just kept running her mouth, trying to get MORE people to move there 🙈😳😬so out of touch & cringe
So you chose a festival over your own mother and didn’t go see her on an important occasion. Wow! Maybe you and her should’ve went to the festival together and treated her. And if a festival was on Mother’s Day, they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so. Not my kind of town.
Yeah- Mom lived really far away so we would have had to do it Via phone anyway. Wouldn’t have made too much difference but I hear ya on the festival itself. It still was a good one though.
@@livinginasheville me and the GF found a house to rent between AVL and Weaverville for September. Hopefully that'll give more of vibe where to look once we list our place here in Nashville next spring. 🤘
I live on the other side of the Smokys in Tennessee, and all the people moving in on us has driven up the price of land astronomically and destroyed our farms by separating them into small tracts. We are so over populated now that my entire family are looking at moving out of our own hometown and relocating because of all the intrusion that is happening here in the Foothills of the Smokys.
@@teadams72 pretty much happening everywhere. I've been in Nashville for 35 years and it's becoming ridiculous to rent or buy for anyone who isn't financially set or is moving from the insanely high real estate markets of the Northeast or Kahleefornyah where they sell huts for a million dollars.
Same in my part of western NC. And people moving in, driving up prices and turning NC Purple and Blue! Leave your politics at home - the politics that destroyed the place you're fleeing!! 😢🤬😡

Praying you and family and team are ok! The flooding we are seeing in Asheville is devastating .

Visit Murphy, NC which is two hours southwest of Asheville. It’s a beautiful small town and lots of rich history about the Cherokees.
Oh yes! Murphy!

My pleasure- thank you.
Love you to come visit. Just go back home !
Haha- yeah- I know that is also true.
Nope sorry they are coming 😂 as the illegals push the Yankees out they will move next to you. Just remember you are on the same side .

Such a beautiful place. Where do you live now?
Thanks so much for your sharing.
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
You are really good at travel videos. I really enjoyed this.
Thank you! So fun to do!
I just love you and your associate describing Ashville and the areas of Western NC! You do a great job!
Well, thank you much, David! We enjoy it and glad you do too. 😊
Considered Hot Springs but despite the charm, we decided it was too remote. Ended up in Black Mountain. Western North Carolina abounds with cool small towns. Love it!
I would totally live here but agree…. Too remote for me.
How are things in Black mountain now

Love your videos!!!
Thank you so so much! They are super fun to make as well. 🙌
I live close to this town…Honestly I wish you wouldn’t post places like this…too many people come in and change everything!❤
I am sure it is hard to see the change happening. People are definitely coming to WNC.
@@livinginashevillenot so much now though.
$625k for that tiny home??? That’s absolutely insane.
I think it is because of the extra land and river view but curious to see what it sold for.
@@livinginasheville it’s still for sale as of today

First tiny guess $150k
It has so much land though- 6.77 acres
@@livinginasheville What is the listing price?
$625,000 on just under 7 acres, retainer wall, gorgeous pond (not featured). Two septics and a well.
