Don't know how you two are in real life, but if you are the way you come off on here, you two have some of the best personalities, and charisma of anyone that creates vlogs. Great job!
I live in Gatlinburg. FYI: If any of you are planning to visit Cades Cove during the summer: the road closes (no cars) on Wednesdays and is open for bicycles and hikers only.
Nat @ 29:38.......".....that was really sweet..." ! ha ha Good one Nat !!! Also, both of you have honest, detailed critiques which are very helpful and appreciated.
i remember in one of my many trips in the smokies...there were bears and the tourists were climbing the hill towards them to get pics, they had their ribs showing ,most likely out of hibernaton. out of nowhere this park ranger was like get the hell down and back in your cars lol. will never forget that.
What a fun episode, Matt and Nat! I've never been to Tennessee and likely won't make it considering my well-into-senior-citizen years. Your vlog will definitely suffice. I'm with you, Nat, when it comes to walking across flimsy-looking sky bridges with even a foot of glass to view the scenery a couple of football fields beneath (and was sure this particular one was properly engineered and safe until Matt mentioned some fellow cracking it playing like he's a baseball hero!!). For sure any such contraptions will be passed up by me. I did worry about your sunglasses flying from your head into the valley below or your shoes falling off into the river when you rode the sky chairs and was relieved those incidents didn't occur...LOL! Re the Ober park, you'd of thought the proprietors would have told you way beforehand that a major part of the park was closed...not exactly neighborly of them. Sheesh! As for the cold fries for dinner the first evening, perhaps the restaurant should provide a small toaster oven along with the food service and patrons could crisp and heat anything which cooled on the way from the kitchen to the table. If you think that's a worthwhile suggestion for the future, I'll forego my consulting fee and you can keep any profits which come your way via a patent on the design. Loved the Pigeon Forge general store...glad you showed it and the river flowing by the old mill. Yummy on the corn fritters and biscuits with the fried chicken! Moonshine taffy, though? Huh-uh! And I'd be under the table with real moonshine...just lift me off the floor and sit me outside in the fresh air. And Dollywood...what can I say but F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. Thanks again for a fun long episode. Enjoyed it a lot. Plus this is the longest post I've ever put on a TH-cam...LOL!
Next time you go just before you get to the restrooms/gift shop on the right is a gravel drive (Abrams falls) even if you don't hike the waterfall itself, which is beautiful, at least walk the first 50 yards. There are two rivers coming together and a bridge to walk across. My wife and I have spent many hours just sitting along river with feet in water listening to nature and the rumbling creeks.
The GYPSY guide is the absolute best friend any tourist could have. IT's simple and user friendly. It's so very detailed and educational and fun. The options are fantastic. "Pull off here, if you have time, otherwise let's keep driving forward." No stress. No mess. I have used it a couple times in Hawaii and in the Florida Keys and several national parks. I can't even remember all the places I've taken advantage of it. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for sharing, guys!!!
Great Vlog! I love going to the Smokies in the Fall! I always make a stop at the Donut Friar for the cinnamon sugar doughnuts. At the Old Mill, I highly recommend the Old Mill Pottery House Cafe across from the main restaurant. The food there was awesome! I had their Praline Pork Chop that is topped with French toast moonshine sauce and chopped pecans. It was delish (chef's kiss!) , we loved our meal there. Thanks and I always look forward to your adventures!

Raised in Knoxville and living the rest of my life an hour and a half from there, IMO, Granny Ogles and Ms. Lillian’s chicken are my favorite places to eat down there, both in Dollywood.
Another great vlog. Can’t wait for the next one. I love the old mill restaurant been there forever. Apple Barn is another great place to eat and visit. You’re vlogs are amazing
Awww thanks so much! 🥰 ohhh thanks so much for that recommendation! We’ll have to check it out next time we are there! Thanks for watching & for taking the time to write us such a kind comment! 🥰💗
Just stumbled across this video and glad I did! Very informative and super honest! Will definitely be a big help when me and my family plan our first trip to the Smokies🤞🏽
Hey guys!! Great video as always and so awesome to see you guys sharing more of your home state with us. Tennessee is rapidly climbing to the top of my bucket list and this video just put the petal to the metal. You guys always have such a great time and let your inner child come out whether you’re at a theme park or a not so great MSC cruise (sorry about that but so glad you guys gave us the honest truth about your experience). The Smokey Mountains and Dollywood look like an absolute must when we do (and we will) make our way to Tennessee and I can’t wait to get a loaf of that cinnamon bread and I also hear they have great fried chicken there too (watch Guy Fieri’s family road trip). And speaking of food, you guys are awesome food critics. Dare I say “mad skilz” 🤣🤣🤣and as a fellow foodie I very much appreciate an honest review. Keep up the amazing videos, keep being yourselves (silly, outgoing, fun and informative) and keep giving us bloopers LOL!! God bless and stay safe you two!!😊
Also there is an amazing place to stay called Buckhorn Inn, highly recommend. Peaceful, beautiful. They have an amazing cozy restaurant on site, beautiful views. Cottages and rooms inside the Inn. Also there’s an amazing hole in the wall type place called. A Taste of Italy located near it. It’s off the touristy area, and very good Italian food. Ski Mountain Pizza is great as well. 😊
Me and my wife live in Spring Hill just south of Franklin and Nashville. We try to make a yesrly trip to Gatlinburg as well as western North Carolina. If you want a small town to go to in North Carolina you should check out Brevard. Its known as the land of waterfalls. We got married there last year on the Art Lobe trail. Absolutely amazing place!
One activity worth doing, if you don't mind a fair bit of exercise: Hike to the Mt. Cammerer Lookout. The trailhead is at the Cosby Campground, in the NE corner of the park. The hike itself is not easy and rather tedious - 3 miles of unrelenting climbing to Low Gap, from an elevation of ~2400' to ~4200', followed by three more miles of up-and-down along a ridge, ending at the 4928' lookout. And, zero views until you get to the end. But Mt. Cammerer itself is a rocky knob extending above the trees, and is said to have the best view in the Smokies. It is certainly a good one - 360 degrees of the surrounding Smokies, plus the plains to the north and south. This trail is definitely worth doing once, if maybe not twice or any more.
Here's a tip, go on Wednesday's and bring your bikes. No vehicles allowed, it's a great bike ride and takes about an hour and a half with stops. Local GOAT not great, some great local joints right up the road in Sevierville. Great video y'all.
We just went to Pigeon Forge for the first time. Loved it, and after seeing Dolly Wood in the fall (on your video), I can't wait to go back! Thanks for sharing
Worth the wait as always, you know we love the longer videos! Thanks for sharing with us! My favorite place at GSMNP is Clingman's Dome, it's a such a beautiful stop. 🥰
Awww thank you so much!! 🥰 Means so much more than you know! Gosh we wanted to go there soooo bad but just didn’t have time, we’ll have to visit it next time we go there! Thanks for recommending it! 💗
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Loved hiking in the Smokey Mountains!! So happy that you made it to the Old Mill and that whole area is so fun!!! Looking forward to seeing your next adventures!!!
Some may love Ober Gatlinburg or Ober Mountain as I think it is called now, but we found it very disappointing. Sky Lift has been a part of our trips since I was a kid.
I ate at the old mill about ten years ago. It was delicious.. we got to feed the ducks. It was a awesome trip to Tennessee.. thank you for sharing your adventures.
Oh yeah?!?! Thank you so much for the recommendation!!! I love fresh made bread!! We’ll definitely have to check that out next time we are there! Thanks for watching & taking the time out to let us know! 🥰💗
Worth the wait for the Great Smoky Mountains video. We visited Anakeesta when we went last year and the best part was finding a rocking chair and feeling the breeze and sunshine on our face. Also hearing the birds sing some mountain songs was wonderful. Looks like you enjoyed the same thing. 🎶 🐦
Awww thanks so much friend!! We appreciate y’all more than you know! It’s on our list to visit Anakeesta next. Happy to hear y’all found a good rocking chair! It’s always nice to just relax & take it all in. Hope y’all got the postcard to the new address!
Love it! Next time cross over to Waynesville, NC for more foodie options. Dollywood is a hidden gem, it never seems crowded. Also, Pisgah Inn along the Blue Ridge Parkway has amazing views.
Yess!! We love Waynesville! Haven’t been in years, but we really enjoy Boojum Brewing! We’ll have to check out Pisgah Inn! Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!😊
Awesome vlog! Love exploring this area! I would recommend giving Local Goat another chance cause we had amazing food there, but our all time favorite was Five Oaks Farm Kitchen!
Your videos are fantastic. You two are a hoot to watch-I’ll tune in for more. Heading to Gatlinburg in a month…first time. Thanks for the preview! Loved watching you both doing shots!😁
Love this one! The aerial footage is so beautiful! The cinnamon bread looks insane and I have never been to Dollywood. Your hair after that ride lol just add hairspray and instant 80s. Great video guys ❤️❤️
Ughh i just discovered yall a day ago and omgoodness I LOVE YOU BOTH! I'm benge watching your vids and they all are just amazing! I follow quite a few YT'rs and I have to say that you guys are two of my FAVS and are so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing with us all. Definitely and Inspiration for my journey and manifestations to come. ❤❤❤
Awwww so happy y’all have found us!! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching & for your kind comment! We appreciate your kind words more than you know! 🥰 You made our night!
Hello from Gatlinburg TN! I met you guys here in Gatlinburg last year...I do Vlogs Daily here in Gatlinburg...I'm at Landshark if you'd like to say hi 🐻🏞️🌄
Just came back from.Gatlinburg....chose Annakista to visit...it was ok..but the added adventure of Astra Lumina at Annakeesta is a must see...its amazing!!
Never heard anyone say that Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is not a foodie haven. But I do feel you with your comments about your dinner. I'm picky with my food too and if I'm paying a lot of money I do expect to get good quality.
Visit anakeesta next- we went for the first time last year and it was surprising good! Live music & good food and drink offerings, as well as the scenery made it great!
I am a local and have no idea what the rave thing is about the Local Goat. The Donut Friar is amazing, and if you get off the strip (Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge), you will find the local places to eat and hangouts.
Ober is better to visit in the winter for skiiing, snow tubing, and ice skating. As for local good food, you need to get off the parkways. Cades Cove - the last half of the loop is nothing but trees, so if anyone is impatient with that long traffic jam, turn at the halfway point - there's a sign indicating it. I've been stuck in that traffic many times. Great video, I've been there many times and watching your video makes me want to plan another visit. The last time we were there we saw TONS of bears!
If y’all love Dollywood, I recommend visiting Silver Dollar City at Branson, MO in the Ozark Mountains! Themed after 1880’s; has craftsmanship and amazing roller coasters! Love your video and thanks for sharing!
Yay! I was so excited for this video! I want to do this next Autumn. I've wanted to go to East TN for years, and GSMNP looks gorgeous during that time of year! 😍
Awww yay! So happy you are excited! We hope you have sooo much fun! We LOVED all of the colors, it truly was so beautiful We hope you have so much fun! 🍁🍂 Thanks so much for watching & for your comment! 🥰💗
hey guys! did you know that Cades Cove Loop Road is closed to motor vehicles every Wednesday for Vehicle-Free Day from May 3 through September 27, 2023, so pedestrians and cyclists can experience Cades Cove without motor vehicles. When i go i am going to rent a bike and enjoy with no traffic jam!
Awww yay! That makes our day to hear! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching & for taking the time to write such a kind comment. we hope you have so much fun visiting the Pigeon Forge area! 🥰💗🎉
My next favorite place after Daytona Beach. Many years ago we went there on our honeymoon and later my best friend from Florida had a house there. Actually we have probably been on more vacations to Sevierville than any other place. Took the Cades Cove ride many times.
Great episode. You two are adorable! My sister has a new cabin in Sevierville TN right next door to Gatlinburg so we try to get there when we can. I highly the Red Oak Bistro in that area for a date night it's locally owned and yummy. Also, Crockets Breakfast Camp in Gatlinburg is AMAZING for breakfast/brunch and for dinner the Cherokee Grill or the Chesapeake. We also loved Elvira's Cafe in Sevierville they have really yummy crepes. Lastly, we've done Anakeesta and it's awesome. They have one of those Alpine coasters and great live music, chair lift, a beautiful garden and views. Ya'll made me want to go to Dollywood in October. We've never been!
Nat your wish came true, I just became a subscriber!! 😂. Seriously, I love an HONEST, REAL food review. We are going back there next month , yep we are timeshare suckers haha, & we have always found the food there to be meh. I bring lots of food to cook in our condo, but one place I want to try is the pancake pantry. Happy travels!
My sister talked us into the front row of Wild Eagle at Dollywood. Never again!😮 Planning an October trip for our 34th anniversary. Your video was so helpful!
Been to all three parks between Skylift, Analeesta, and Ober I’d definitely say Ober is the worst of the 3. While also saying Anakeesta is the best. It’s not the cheapest but it does have the most to offer and the views are incredible. Whereas sky lift really just offers the views (which are incredible).. Anakeesta is awesome though. 15:29
You two compliment each other so well, I enjoy your energy. Very fun and informative.
Aw, thank you so much! And thanks for watching!😊
Nat, I just love how Matt looks at you and adores you with his eyes, so sweet.
Y’all are just so watchable.
Awwww thanks so much!! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate you!
Thanks for sharing we really enjoy the smokies too.
@@AdventuresofMattandNat need to visit the UK & do a video
Don't know how you two are in real life, but if you are the way you come off on here, you two have some of the best personalities, and charisma of anyone that creates vlogs. Great job!
I live in Gatlinburg. FYI: If any of you are planning to visit Cades Cove during the summer: the road closes (no cars) on Wednesdays and is open for bicycles and hikers only.
Go there almost every year. Our daughter and husband love it so much, they bought a cabin in Del Rio.
Hello from Gatlinburg!! I was in the Skybridge part with white hair ..lol. You guys were so nice to speak with! Hope to see you two again 🏞️🐻🌄
I LOVE watching your videos, makes my wish list grow to places to visit and DOLLYWOOD is one of mine for sure :)
Nat @ 29:38.......".....that was really sweet..." ! ha ha Good one Nat !!! Also, both of you have honest, detailed critiques which are very helpful and appreciated.
i remember in one of my many trips in the smokies...there were bears and the tourists were climbing the hill towards them to get pics, they had their ribs showing ,most likely out of hibernaton. out of nowhere this park ranger was like get the hell down and back in your cars lol. will never forget that.
Awesome video! Dollywood deserves its own video honestly, looks soo much fun!
You are soo right!! Wish we would’ve had more time because Dollywood is so much fun! One of our favorite theme parks ever!
I've watched this 3 times in preparation of our trip this week!
Aw, thanks for watching! We hope you have an amazing time! Safe travels!🥰
I love your authenticity and info!
Aw, thank you! 🥰
I love Dollywood. One of my favorite places.
What a fun episode, Matt and Nat! I've never been to Tennessee and likely won't make it considering my well-into-senior-citizen years. Your vlog will definitely suffice.
I'm with you, Nat, when it comes to walking across flimsy-looking sky bridges with even a foot of glass to view the scenery a couple of football fields beneath (and was sure this particular one was properly engineered and safe until Matt mentioned some fellow cracking it playing like he's a baseball hero!!). For sure any such contraptions will be passed up by me. I did worry about your sunglasses flying from your head into the valley below or your shoes falling off into the river when you rode the sky chairs and was relieved those incidents didn't occur...LOL!
Re the Ober park, you'd of thought the proprietors would have told you way beforehand that a major part of the park was closed...not exactly neighborly of them. Sheesh!
As for the cold fries for dinner the first evening, perhaps the restaurant should provide a small toaster oven along with the food service and patrons could crisp and heat anything which cooled on the way from the kitchen to the table. If you think that's a worthwhile suggestion for the future, I'll forego my consulting fee and you can keep any profits which come your way via a patent on the design.
Loved the Pigeon Forge general store...glad you showed it and the river flowing by the old mill. Yummy on the corn fritters and biscuits with the fried chicken! Moonshine taffy, though? Huh-uh! And I'd be under the table with real moonshine...just lift me off the floor and sit me outside in the fresh air. And Dollywood...what can I say but F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.
Thanks again for a fun long episode. Enjoyed it a lot. Plus this is the longest post I've ever put on a TH-cam...LOL!
You are a nice couple, but for me, you guys concentrated two much on your faces and do not show too much view
Next time you go just before you get to the restrooms/gift shop on the right is a gravel drive (Abrams falls) even if you don't hike the waterfall itself, which is beautiful, at least walk the first 50 yards. There are two rivers coming together and a bridge to walk across. My wife and I have spent many hours just sitting along river with feet in water listening to nature and the rumbling creeks.

"Pull off here, if you have time, otherwise let's keep driving forward." No stress. No mess. I have used it a couple times in Hawaii and in the Florida Keys and several national parks. I can't even remember all the places I've taken advantage of it. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for sharing, guys!!!
Smokey mountain are my absolute favorite place to go EVER!!! Thanks for sharing y'all's adventures
Great Vlog! I love going to the Smokies in the Fall! I always make a stop at the Donut Friar for the cinnamon sugar doughnuts. At the Old Mill, I highly recommend the Old Mill Pottery House Cafe across from the main restaurant. The food there was awesome! I had their Praline Pork Chop that is topped with French toast moonshine sauce and chopped pecans. It was delish (chef's kiss!) , we loved our meal there. Thanks and I always look forward to your adventures!
Gained a new sub! Went there when I was a kid...Wife and I going this fall thanks for the help! Ya'll are great.
Aw, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! We hope y’all have an amazing time! Fall in the Smokies is the best!

This was so good ❤my 2nd video from you guys and I can honestly say I just love you both 😊xx
Aww... Thank you so much!🥰🥰
The Old Mill is anything but touristy. It’s all homemade and locals love it! We drive 10 hours just for this restaurant!
I’m leaving for the Smokey mountains and gatlinburg in 3 days!!! This video was so helpful thank you!💕
Love this!!! Amazing video! We just visited and loved it! Thank you for sharing!!
You guys are FUN. Been on your channel for 4:00 hours now need to take a nap now.

What is the best time to go up there! I do not do winters unless I am staying at a log cabin with a fireplace!
Also there is an amazing place to stay called Buckhorn Inn, highly recommend. Peaceful, beautiful. They have an amazing cozy restaurant on site, beautiful views.
Cottages and rooms inside the Inn.
Also there’s an amazing hole in the wall type place called. A Taste of Italy located near it. It’s off the touristy area, and very good Italian food.

I've gone to the Buckhorn Inn every year (at least once) for 16 years now and have NEVER been disappointed. It's like a second home to me!

Pickin’ up a little Adventures of A+K lingo with the “pillowy” descriptions 😉😉😄
🤣🤣 They’re great! I honestly forgot that they use that description word! Great minds think alike! Lol… Thanks for watching!🥰🥰
The trolley the way to go! And cabins are expensive but so worth it!
The apple barn the the best! Love the food there!
Here's a tip, go on Wednesday's and bring your bikes. No vehicles allowed, it's a great bike ride and takes about an hour and a half with stops. Local GOAT not great, some great local joints right up the road in Sevierville. Great video y'all.
Fabulous video. I love how natural you both are. The food looked great and Dollywood exciting.
Thank you so much 🤗
I love your vlogs! Beautifully edited! You guys do a great job showing the beauty in the mountains!
Thanks so much! 😊
Y'all just cracked me up during the moonshine tasting!
We just went to Pigeon Forge for the first time. Loved it, and after seeing Dolly Wood in the fall (on your video), I can't wait to go back! Thanks for sharing
Oh my gosh Nat! Your face was priceless!
Worth the wait as always, you know we love the longer videos! Thanks for sharing with us! My favorite place at GSMNP is Clingman's Dome, it's a such a beautiful stop. 🥰

Was just there a few weeks ago, Five Oaks Farm Kitchen in Sevierville was a pretty good stop. And a couple moonshine stops are always good
Some may love Ober Gatlinburg or Ober Mountain as I think it is called now, but we found it very disappointing. Sky Lift has been a part of our trips since I was a kid.
Another great video. Add the Smoky Mountains onto the list of places I want to visit.
Thanks so much, Jon!🥰🥰 The Smokies are definitely worth a visit!
Really enjoyed this vlog, we are visiting Tennessee in the fall from the UK. Great to see some of the places we plan to visit.
Aw, thank you!! Oh... So fun! We hope y'all have an incredible visit! Safe travels and thanks for watching! 🥰
I ate at the old mill about ten years ago. It was delicious.. we got to feed the ducks. It was a awesome trip to Tennessee.. thank you for sharing your adventures.
Great vid! Try the pottery house cafe for lunch next time! It is delish! They make their own bread and serve everything in their handmade pottery!

Loved this adventure! My heritage is Cades Cove! My Popa Tipton lived in the Cove. You’ll see bears more in spring and summer.
Aw, thanks for watching! 🥰 Oh, that's so cool! Yea... I guess we'll have to go back in the spring season sometime!
Awesome vlog! Love exploring this area!
I would recommend giving Local Goat another chance cause we had amazing food there, but our all time favorite was Five Oaks Farm Kitchen!
Your videos are fantastic. You two are a hoot to watch-I’ll tune in for more. Heading to Gatlinburg in a month…first time. Thanks for the preview! Loved watching you both doing shots!😁

Hello from Gatlinburg TN! I met you guys here in Gatlinburg last year...I do Vlogs Daily here in Gatlinburg...I'm at Landshark if you'd like to say hi 🐻🏞️🌄
Yes!!! We finally got the video edited! Hope you are doing well!
@@AdventuresofMattandNat nice!!! I'm well, thank you so much... Please say hi next time you're in town 🌄🐻🏞️
I love Dollywood! Silver Dollar City in Branson MO is another good one for craftsman!! And their Christmas lights are amazing!!
Just found you two ; you do a great job with your destination videos! Keep it up, we’re watching 😊!
Aw, thanks so much!🥰🥰
Next time you're there you might try "Crockett's Breakfast Camp ". The best breakfast I have ever had in the smokies. The Old Mill would be the 2nd.
Just came back from.Gatlinburg....chose Annakista to visit...it was ok..but the added adventure of Astra Lumina at Annakeesta is a must see...its amazing!!
Never heard anyone say that Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is not a foodie haven. But I do feel you with your comments about your dinner. I'm picky with my food too and if I'm paying a lot of money I do expect to get good quality.
Visit anakeesta next- we went for the first time last year and it was surprising good! Live music & good food and drink offerings, as well as the scenery made it great!
I am a local and have no idea what the rave thing is about the Local Goat. The Donut Friar is amazing, and if you get off the strip (Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge), you will find the local places to eat and hangouts.
You are in my area. I grew up going to that area! Be sure to eat at Apple Barn!
Such a fan of all of your videos! If you come back to Arkansas make sure to stop in Bentonville/Rogers!
Ober is better to visit in the winter for skiiing, snow tubing, and ice skating. As for local good food, you need to get off the parkways. Cades Cove - the last half of the loop is nothing but trees, so if anyone is impatient with that long traffic jam, turn at the halfway point - there's a sign indicating it. I've been stuck in that traffic many times. Great video, I've been there many times and watching your video makes me want to plan another visit. The last time we were there we saw TONS of bears!
If y’all love Dollywood, I recommend visiting Silver Dollar City at Branson, MO in the Ozark Mountains! Themed after 1880’s; has craftsmanship and amazing roller coasters! Love your video and thanks for sharing!
Yay! I was so excited for this video! I want to do this next Autumn. I've wanted to go to East TN for years, and GSMNP looks gorgeous during that time of year! 😍
Awww yay! So happy you are excited! We hope you have sooo much fun! We LOVED all of the colors, it truly was so beautiful We hope you have so much fun! 🍁🍂 Thanks so much for watching & for your comment! 🥰💗
hey guys! did you know that Cades Cove Loop Road is closed to motor vehicles every Wednesday for Vehicle-Free Day from May 3 through September 27, 2023, so pedestrians and cyclists can experience Cades Cove without motor vehicles. When i go i am going to rent a bike and enjoy with no traffic jam!
Love this video and love this couple!! Getting ready to visit Pigeon Forge for the first time and this video was very helpful.
Awww yay! That makes our day to hear! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching & for taking the time to write such a kind comment. we hope you have so much fun visiting the Pigeon Forge area! 🥰💗🎉
My next favorite place after Daytona Beach. Many years ago we went there on our honeymoon and later my best friend from Florida had a house there. Actually we have probably been on more vacations to Sevierville than any other place. Took the Cades Cove ride many times.
Dollywood is very similar to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo. We love it there, have you guys been?
Ohh we’ve heard about it, but we haven’t been! We’ll have to check it out! Thanks so much for watching & for letting us know about it!
Great episode. You two are adorable! My sister has a new cabin in Sevierville TN right next door to Gatlinburg so we try to get there when we can. I highly the Red Oak Bistro in that area for a date night it's locally owned and yummy. Also, Crockets Breakfast Camp in Gatlinburg is AMAZING for breakfast/brunch and for dinner the Cherokee Grill or the Chesapeake. We also loved Elvira's Cafe in Sevierville they have really yummy crepes. Lastly, we've done Anakeesta and it's awesome. They have one of those Alpine coasters and great live music, chair lift, a beautiful garden and views. Ya'll made me want to go to Dollywood in October. We've never been!
We love the donut friar!🎉
It is so pretty there! I'll have to go sometime soon
Nat your wish came true, I just became a subscriber!! 😂. Seriously, I love an HONEST, REAL food review. We are going back there next month , yep we are timeshare suckers haha, & we have always found the food there to be meh. I bring lots of food to cook in our condo, but one place I want to try is the pancake pantry.
Happy travels!
My sister talked us into the front row of Wild Eagle at Dollywood. Never again!😮
Planning an October trip for our 34th anniversary. Your video was so helpful!
I love the Great Smoky Mountains. Enjoyed this.
Awww thank you so very much! 🥰 We love the Great Smoky Mountains! Thanks so much for watching & for your comment! 💗
Been to all three parks between Skylift, Analeesta, and Ober I’d definitely say Ober is the worst of the 3. While also saying Anakeesta is the best. It’s not the cheapest but it does have the most to offer and the views are incredible. Whereas sky lift really just offers the views (which are incredible).. Anakeesta is awesome though. 15:29
