》After a decade of adulting in the fast-paced hustle of Miami, FL we reached our limit. So we listened to our inner calling, packed up all our things and moved to Bryson City, NC in order to create the life we really wanted.
This TH-cam channel is a chronicling of our journey. Fancy mountain views, positive vibes & creating your own lifestyle?

Cool video, I plan to visit Bryson City in June and hope to see some of those great sites.
Great video! We went to the Road to Nowhere, Darnell Farms, and BCO this past October because of this video. Great recommendations! We had a great time! We can’t wait to come back and try your other recommendations!
That's AWESOME! Oh my goodness, we're SO glad you enjoyed it! We have a one page guide to BC (and nearby) we update if you wanna check that out 🤓hyggehousebc.com/one-page-guide-to-bryson-city/
that is so weird how i came upon yalls video and i see darells farm where i worked for a short bit of time when i was thru hiking the AT and i needed some more hiking money. Wow blast from the past, back in 2015.
Amazing that you spent some time in our little town :) We hope you get to come back soon!
@@thegreenehome Yes i hope so to.
Will be moving there as well !!! Been visiting there for years ! The town has grown quite a bit! Our “ must do “ every time we come is visiting Deep Creek Winery! We enjoy Darnel Farms too! I remember when both business were much smaller. Good to see locals supporting local!
Oh my gosh! Future neighbors! We hope to see you around our small town. YES they all have grown SO much over the years (we've been visiting BC for almost 10 yrs now). We're so proud of all the growth and are so happy when more people come to discover this gem. 😊Cheers!! 🌄🍻
Is it hard to find work there? Considering moving from the Raleigh area. Great vid!
Awesome video! We love Bryson City and we have been to and love every place you guys showed on this video. We also really enjoy trout fishing at Cooper Creek trout farm! Thanks guys! 😊👍🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Loran! You know, we've never tried fishing in the area (even though it's super popular), so maybe we'll give Cooper Creek a try 😊
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!👍🐟
@@leedanielson7452 SOLD!! Okay we’re super excited to try this! Thank you SO much for the tip!! 🐟 🎣
@@thegreenehome 😝👍🐟
Great tip about Cooper Creek Trout Farm!!!
Don’t forget Everett Bistro in downtown ! Best breakfast ever
You’re so right! We did think of them… think we’ll have to do another video 😋
Awesome video!!! Loved it. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the kind words Dani!! 🌞🌞✌🏼we appreciate you!
I'm excited. I just moved here and thoroughly enjoyed watching your informative video. It would be cool if I run into you guys sometime.
We'd love that! Welcome the BC!! You will love it! See you around ;)
Hey guys! If that’s your home at the beginning of the video, we have been by it a billion times. We had a cabin off Jordan Road and traded up for one in Deep Creek. Loved the video!
It is!! No way haha hello neighbor 👋🏻 Deep Creek is lovely 😊 enjoy it!!
Love the channel! We will be up in 3 weeks. I’ll wave as we ride by!
Please do keep doing videos of the area. Been looking at homes all around up there in hopes of finding some little something to get away to...and your videos are great and informative!
Thanks Rusty! We are sending you the best of luck on your search! 🌄🙏🏻🍻
Just found your channel! I just accepted a summer job in Bryson City and I'm going in blind so I was curious if anyone made any videos on it-- SO glad you did! I'm even more excited to explore the area now. :) I don't know anyone in the area yet so if ya'll want to go for a hike or a beer, I'd be down! (Especially because I wanna meet your dog lol)
I hope it’s going amazing for you!!
There is a marketplace that I think is hosted every Friday right next to the river, and near the local food truck and all the other shops in the main town area. (I cant remember the exact area) It’s a great small community there and to visit when it’s open! You may see me there selling eggs and stuff once in a long while too :)
Yes! Our little farmer’s market! We haven’t been in some time but maybe we’ll check it out soon! ☺️
We are so glad we came across your video! We are moving to the area and would love to pick yalls thoughts on the area and good adventure places. you two seem like our kind of people
Aww thanks! And welcome to the area! Definitely feel free to reach out with any questions we’re happy to help 🥰
Love the videos guys! I have always wanted to move up to the area. Born and raised Floridian and ready to move to a small mountain town and start a new journey in life. Thanks for all the recommendations of places to go. Keep it up 😁
Hey Fred! We totally get it! You won’t regret considering a small mountain town. If there’s anything in particular that you want to know or see in these videos, please feel free to let us know! We are sending you all the good vibes on your journey 🙏🏻🌄
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!
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.
Later!
I was just up looking on TH-cam when you guys popped up. I go to swain right up the road I drive right bye y’all’s house everyday.
Haha that’s awesome! Feel free to give us a honk and a wave if we’re outside 👋🏻😎🌄
Oh this is a good video . I miss going swimming with my dog she loved jumping in
😂😂 ours too!
Thank you for doing this video I'm planing a trip up there in April and watching videos to get some ideas of what to do
You're SO welcome! If you have any more questions on the area, feel free to reach out! We're happy to help 😊
@@thegreenehome where would be a good place to go that I could possibility see the elk
@@tommywright7196 that’s one of the best things to do here! You’re going to want to go to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center 🦌 check out the video on the link below, we show you where it is. You can definitely make a day of it. We suggest either really early in the AM or in the PM just before sundown 😊

Hey! Just discovered your channel and I love how genuine you both are. I'm in that stage of my life where I can move anywhere to start my life. And North Carolina is one of them! Will keep an eye on your channel and will reach out if I'm ever in the area.
Also, I appreciate you both being safe with COVID even through a drive thru.
Hey Lilibel!! Thank you SO much for the kind words 🙏🏻 And that’s amazing that you are at a place in your life where you can move anywhere! Definitely let us know if you’re in the area and any questions you may have. We are happy to answer them! Sending you good vibes from the mountains ✌🏼🌄🍻 cheers!
We are headed there next month for vaca
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!
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 :)

Enjoy your trip ♥️🌄
One of our favorite areas. That area, Highlands area and Blowing Rock area are 3 areas we can't wait to get back to. This is a long shot question but do you know of any boarding farms in the area? (we want to move and need a place to board horses).
We’ve not yet visited the highlands area! It’s on our list! Any recommendations? Unfortunately, we don’t know of any ☹️ sorry!
@@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.
@@LittleTravelChannel ohhh we have been there! But we haven’t tried the pizza place 🍕 thank you that’s on our list now!
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 😁
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 ok great thank you so much! 🖤
I have been there.
Hello Greene family. Congratulations on your pregnancy. We LOVE your TH-cam 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.
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! 🏡
@@thegreenehome Thank you so much!!! You two are the BEST!!!
We call locals - someone who is born and raised in the area that you live in - when you move into a area - your a transplant
My son is going to start a teaching job there in August. Do you have any restaurant suggestions that are a must try for him in Bryson City? Also, is there any entertainment for a 20 something professional?
Hey there! That’s awesome! There’s definitely a great community here 🩵 we are friends with a few local teachers and we love them! Tell him to stop by BCO, Mountain Layers, BCO MRKT to name a few. These are great places to hang out and grab a bite or a beverage 😬 sending him a lot of good vibes for the fresh start!
For more recos, this is a one pager we share with our Airbnb guests with our favorites. It’s not a comprehensive list of everything to do, just our favorites as locals: brysoncityvacation.com/one-page-guide-to-bryson-city/
Hope this helps!!
I stopped in Mountain Perks coffee last week while traveling with my little 9 lb dog, it was really hot out, I walked in to use the restroom and get an iced coffee, some lady (owner) started screaming at me “No dogs!” and literally stood in front of me blocking the restroom. She was completely nasty and rude! I’m completely turned off by that town! I travelled to several other places in western NC, and everyone was friendly.
Oh gosh that sounds terrible!! Please know, that isolated experience is not a good representation of the locals here :(
We've had similar experiences while traveling to other states and we always try to remember that person had a bad day and has some other things going on, but we can't judge everyone on that.
We hope you come back one day and have a much better experience :) Trust us, the people are part of why we love it!
@@thegreenehome Bad day or not, you don’t treat people like that at a business. It was really hot out, and I didn’t want to leave him in the car. I was actually checking out all the areas up there, just sold my place in Florida.
That's definitely the way to buy food when u live there
Absolutely! Farm fresh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome video! God bless. Always remember that Jesus Christ loves you all so much! Jesus Christ forgives all sins. Jesus Christ is God, King, and Savior!❤🙏
Are ATVs / UTVs allowed in the tunnel?
Hey there, hmm that’s a good question. We haven’t seen any and we would guess not but you can always try contacting the Smoky Mountain National Park to see 😊
Things you'll regret doing in 20 years: face diapers
I live here lemme tell you it do be very homophobic
Hey JB, ugh we’re so sorry for your experience ☹️ we hate hearing that but we appreciate you sharing 🙏🏻
