Hello MMM, What an adorable little town. I was surprised to see how much this little town offers. It looks like the stores have pretty much anything you need. I was checking out the menus on the restaurants they have, they look good and the prices are not bad. I like how they have benches for you to sit down on out side the stores, that's nice. Ninety degrees would make you want to sit in that stream. That hardware store was packed, I figured you would find something you needed. This little town seems to have it all right down to a library and a visitor center. Very nice video ,very well done.
Yes it sure did have everything! The library which I did not record was charming and had a kids area which was nice. It was a hot day, but thankfully it was sunny and showed this cool town well. Thanks for the positive feedback, and thanks for watching Rita!
Lovely drive to a quaint little NC town, where you go take a dip in in the hot springs spa, then go get a French Dip at the local restaurant, then go dip your toes in the French Broad River 😁 The town may be small, but appears cultured 🤔 Thanks for sharing this wonderful mountain find 🐾🦊🐺
Haha I love all the opportunities to 'dip' into fun in Hot Springs! It would have been cool (literally) to check out either Spring Creek or The French Broad River as it was hot that day. Thanks for checking it out Foxy!
I enjoyed this alot! So good to see you out and about. 😉. Hope all is going well and you and your family are healthy and happy. You were one of the first people that encouraged me a couple of yrs ago. I'm still small, but I've grown alot through my love of expressing and sharing what makes me happy. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you, I'm sure you've affected alot of us with your videos and encouragement. Take care my friend. 🤗💕
Hello MamaBears it's so great to hear from you! I enjoy seeing the bear videos you have and glad things are going well! I really appreciate the kind words, and hope you're enjoying making fun videos too! Take care and thanks for saying hello! 😊
What a beautiful little mountain town. I really need to see more of the NC mountains. I still can't believe your channel isn't huge. You do such a professional job it seems.
Hello Larry!! I missed this comment, thanks for the awesome feedback! Yeah it kind of stinks these videos aren't enjoyed by more, but hey they are still cool. Yes for sure check out these NC mountains there are so many cool places!
Hey Mr. Mountain Man. Great video as always. You make them look so professional. Seems like a really nice town to visit if you're in the area. Certainly a lot there for a small place. Very pretty there in the mountains and that river is beautiful. Nice of you to put the link and advertise for the business. Very nice touch. Hope you and family are doing very well!! Mountains sure are different there than out here.
Hello all is good in the mountains and hope you are doing well too! Hot Springs for sure is a cool little place to check out sometime while here in the mountains.
One of the areas best kept secrets :) It is a very nice out of the way place to visit and or spend some time. I love the history of this area. The Native Americans used this place extensively, over on the French Broad River a few miles away is a landmark known as Paint Rock, There are paintings on the cliffs dating back 5000 years! Sadly, much of it has been vandalized with modern graffiti. The only place we have eaten was at the Iron Horse, quite pricey and a limited menu, but it was filling. Good job on your video.
This is a quintessential small mountain town, and a great place for the folks that like a quiet, outdoor location. That's super sad about the historic drawings, maybe the city or county can try to preserve what's remaining. Thank you again for the detailed information and positive comments!
Hi MMM. Wow first watching your videos so great. Not bad 32 miles Asheville to Hot Springs, NC. I’m hometown Asheville. Thank You sharing your video. 🫶🏻❤
GREAT video MMM! As always I appreciate the map at the beginning and in the middle or so as well. Did you see any thru hikers while you were there? What a beautiful little town and surrounding area! The doors on the Library were real pretty and I figured you would find something you needed in that hardware store, after you got finished taking in the smell 😂 it’s funny too but I know what you mean about the smell of a good hardware store. As you stated Welcome Centers are a wealth of information. Thank you MMM for taking us to this mountain town by the river! Be safe out there!
Yes the maps always help get bearings on the location! I didn't see any hikers while we were walking through town but I'm sure it does happen often. The library even though I didn't film was a nice stop the kids enjoyed. Thanks for watching AZ and glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! We went a couple of years ago. We stayed in a cabin that wasn't too far but at an elevation of 4300. We went there for the day and we were surprised by the large elevation difference on a fairly non inclined road.
They do not just have coffee at the place next to Iron Station. What's great is the Ultimate Ice Cream and sorbet made in Asheville. My favorites are the Maple bacon ice cream and lemon sorbet.
There are a bunch of beautiful mountain towns I'd still love to visit and I really like the Marshall area north of Asheville. Hopefully I'll get there someday!
Sir, I am arriving mid OCT., my question to you... If I can only stay a few days, should I stay in a rural Hot springs cabin, or should I stay near Boone/Blowing Rock? Never been back there, and I gotta see the Blue Ridge. Thx
Oh wow that's a tough question! Overall Boone/Blowing Rock have more shops, stores, and a larger area (Appalachian State is in Boone). Hot Springs is smaller and quaint and more about the outdoors. So hopefully that helps you, and have a great trip!
Unfortunately I have not visited there personally, but it's very close to town. I recommend to check the website of the resort for current information. Thanks for watching!
Hi Paula, I've visited Hot Springs many times. The spa does massage and mani/pedis although I've never done those, but they also rent spas by the hour. They are spread along the creek and river and are private with privacy fencing between spas and they are just regular hot tubs, but the natural hot spring water is fed up and used to fill them. They drain and clean them between each rental. They are very private and they allow you to take in food, drinks, small bluetooth speakers, etc... I think they run about $50-85/hr depending on the size of tub you get and the time of day... later in the day/evening is most expensive. I love getting them in the early evening before the sun goes down as a sort of late happy hour before dinner, but they'd be great any time of day. There is not a lot of night life but 3-4 restaurants from breakfast diner to comfortable nicer dining (Iron Horse). The campground has everything from tent sites, to RVs to basic and more deluxe fully furnished cabins. There are also rooms for rent in town and all around.
The next time you go, Spring Creek Tavern is an amazing dive to eat at! Love Hot Springs NC!! Great video MMM
For sure we'll have to check it out! We ate prior so didn't eat in town but something to look forward to. Thanks for checking it out OSOS!

Love all the little shops that they have there! I've never seen a shoe step like that before! That's brilliant!
It really does have some cool shops for being such a little town! Thanks for watching!

I live near here and every fourth of July they have some of the best fireworks in the area! Love this video
Appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed it!

Very nice and interesting! Thank You for sharing! Have a Great Week
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and have a great week!
I’ll add this town to my list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! We went a couple of years ago. We stayed in a cabin that wasn't too far but at an elevation of 4300. We went there for the day and we were surprised by the large elevation difference on a fairly non inclined road.
That's awesome! Anything above 4k' and you'll start to get 5-10 degrees cooler any day. Thanks for watching!
I live in Hot Springs NC and liked your video
Thank you I appreciate that!
@@MrMountainMan yes I’m 62 and I’ve lived there all my life.

Great video looks a beautiful place
It was beautiful, thanks for watching Liz!
Enjoyed replays thanks new to your channel 😀 😊 👍🏼 🙂
Thanks for checking out the video and glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to get back to N.C.....
Commiefornia isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Glad I retire soon...
Sure have missed you doing videos or live streaming
Hope you enjoyed this video! I try my best it's just so busy these days, but I'll get out videos when possible. Thanks for watching Hope!
New here., are you planning on visiting Marshall NC? It is close to Hot Springs.
There are a bunch of beautiful mountain towns I'd still love to visit and I really like the Marshall area north of Asheville. Hopefully I'll get there someday!
Some rich people bought the train car and it's gone now :( it was one of my favorite things
That's nothing new from the spa to every mountain side rich and out of Towner's have bought and destroyed this town
Wait that caboose I show in the video is gone from the town, is that correct? This was just a few months ago.
Sir, I am arriving mid OCT., my question to you... If I can only stay a few days, should I stay in a rural Hot springs cabin, or should I stay near Boone/Blowing Rock? Never been back there, and I gotta see the Blue Ridge. Thx

My Hometown ❤
That's a great place to call home! Thanks for watching!
Mine as well Theresa!!! But I moved away nearly 20 years ago.
My father and mother inlaw opened the resort in 1990
want to see the mineral hot water , the resort for people to use , what is look like .
Unfortunately I have not visited there personally, but it's very close to town. I recommend to check the website of the resort for current information. Thanks for watching!

Visiting Hot spring and not visiting actual Hot spring!??
