its bout as close to heaven one can get this side of the veil. I found myself there when i came home ... just the sight makes me cry , that is where I met God. 💯❤️
Thanks Donnie for puttin these videos out. I only got to Tennessee once and that was to the Smoky Mountains. Got to go thru Cades Cove. It sure brought back memories. Old health ain't what it use to be but with these videos y'all had put up here on TH-cam gives us a chance once more to see it. Again Thanks and God richly bless ya!
i could sit for hours just listening to that stream. It's like the sound of a well orchestrated Orchestra to me. Yes, the sounds of nature are cherished. Just so peaceful and serene. It's a free gift of God. Thanks for this beautiful ride through the park. i Loved it very much. Your friend, Louise
I don't know what l love the most, the scenery or the music. I guess the music. I'll be on the hunt to find it, add it to my library. Gorgeous video. 💞 🙏💞
You sure have a lot of green already. Beautiful flowers and sounds of the birds.......I love nature, I love the Smokies!! Thank you.....sure enjoyed all the old buildings....they have preserved them so well......
Oh thanks for the memories. We'd take the kids to the Smokies on vacation many years ago. By many I mean 35 to 40. Loved it especially in the spring with the wild flowers.
On the ( sights and sounds of nature) you can just almost smell the flowers, and feel your muscles melt into relaxation. Thank you sir, for creating these videos. 😊
When we lived in Knoxville in the 80s we went to Cades Cove at least twice a year - so beautiful! There were herds of deer in some of those fields, especially at dusk. If you parked at one of the churches (think it was the Baptist), walked over the hill, there was a large pond, fed by a waterfall. Shallow enough to wade. Refreshing on a hot day! Our daughter was young and alarmed when crawdaddies nipped at her toes! Sweet memories. Thank you!
Thanks for the tour Donnie. Cades Cove is such a beautiful place. This brings back such wonderful memories when I visited there with my mom, dad and some friends. All of them have passed on.
Beautiful job Mr. Donnie! It was so beautiful I just wanted to cry. I had to move away from The Smokies and I haven't been to the Cove in a long time. It's more beautiful than ever. The videography and music were perfect. Thank you so much from the heart. God bless you sir.
Definitely a to do list when or if you ever visit the Smoky Mountains. Many available cabin rentals, hotels and campgrounds are available. Do know if anyone decides to visit and camp take note that the Cades Cove campground near the entrance and exit area does not have running water for shower hook ups. Man lots of Memories of going to this area since 1973, I walked the 11 mile loop a few times, rode a bicycle a couple of times and jogged 8 miles of it when I was 12 years old. It never gets old going there, not to mention that many other things to do especially for kids in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area the two main attraction areas of the Great Smokys
Such a beautiful place, full of memories. We drove our children and our parents and family members through Cades Cove many times. My daughter and I learned the birds and the trees. Brown thrasher sings beside the creek at 6:38. Big white oak by the Rich Mtn. sign. They say that the chestnuts were 10' thick and 150' tall. I remember the Cable mill operating, and we bought some corn meal there. The lady who cut my hair for 40 years was a Tipton whose ancestors built that house at 16:50.
I've been up too cades cove so many times Donnie it's a nice drive up there entering the smoky mountains and beautiful sights and scenery bears nature sounds cabins old churches when you go up to cades cove it's like stepping back in time love the drive and the scenery up there that's where I was named after Donnie beautiful mountains love it man
Great video I love the smokies cloudy or sunny. I grew up on a small farm in north Alabama. The few times we went on vacation it was to the smokies. I love your videos and stories. God bless.
My late grandmothers side of the family helped settle, we believe, they were Tiptons. There is also a place down from Cades Cove known as Hidden Cove, have you ever heard of or seen it. There is an old settlement there, too.
Haven’t gotten there yet, but soon! Looking at it from aerial maps, looks like a big oak leaf from the sky. I’m native North Carolinian , but I bet it’s prettier than Cataloochee, which is awesome.
I've walked a lot of Cade's Cove, beautiful area. I took my sister there once, we slept in the truck but when dawn was breaking through the fog, i woke her to see a very large buck and his does feeding, I doubt she'll ever forget it. 7:53 looks like where we parked. And bear...a hundred or so of us parked and watched a dozen or more black bear feasting in the branches of some oaks, on the south end of the loop, I think. Question, those "wind rows" at the building peaks, were they for snow?
Absolutely beautiful photography Bro.I was looking for something peaceful to start my day and I found it.Thank you for all your work in making these lovely videos.
Donnie the sights and sounds of this video were lovely. The guitar music at the beginning was downright kick butt. Please pass on my compliments if possible.God Bless you.
Cades Cove is about my most favorite spot in the Smokies. My family used to go in the Autumn to Gatlinburg and Pidgeons Forge. All of the tourist hoopla was all well and good, but I preferred getting out into the country and visiting the old mill and the nearby house. It felt like a homecoming for me in a way. I never say anyone sitting in the house -- alive anyhow that is. But I could feel a woman in the kitchen every time. She seemed to be working hard at something, and there was a feeling of someone upstairs too. None of this was in any way scary, just a feeling of perhaps memories moving in the house. Thank you for the lovely video. Peace and roses, Deb the TN Scary Lady
All of Tenn. is beautiful but the people are more beautiful who was born and raised there. I miss living here, but the only way I can go back is for God to help me.
Beautiful! We were just there the week of Thanksgiving. At about 18:47 there is a double row of trees. I noticed it the day we were there. It looks like it may have been a drive or road lined with trees at one time. Do you know anything about this? Thanks for all you do! Oh...I didn't wait long enough...you posted it was an original road in the area...
I have, But the Parson Branch road has been close the last two years. Rich mountain road is still open to the north. Both beautiful roads. Thanks for sharing my friend.
IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS COMING THERE WITH SOME FRIENDS IN OCTOBER BUT MY LITTLE DOG OF ALMOST SIXTEEN YEARS WAS NOT FEELING WELL SO I STAYED WITH HER. I TOOK HER TO HER VET AND HE SAID NANCY HOW OLD IS COCO AND I SAID THE SAME AGE I TOLD YOU LAST. SHE IS STILL WITH ME,,

I love Cades Cove. So beautiful, & the old grits mill @ the beginning. Got some good cornmeal from there.
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
My late grandmothers side of the family helped settle, we believe, they were Tiptons. There is also a place down from Cades Cove known as Hidden Cove, have you ever heard of or seen it. There is an old settlement there, too.
No I haven't my friend. Thanks for sharing.
We experienced the opportunity to drive through Cades Cove about a month ago. It’s a beautiful drive even if we didn’t see any wildlife.
It is so beautiful my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Great video….you did a wonderful job. Hope to get to Cade Cove soon.🇺🇸
Thank you so much. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Very beautiful
Thank you friend.
Absolutely Gorgeous. Thank you so much Donnie.
Thank you Mama. I hope you are feeling better my friend, Please take care.
Haven’t gotten there yet, but soon! Looking at it from aerial maps, looks like a big oak leaf from the sky. I’m native North Carolinian , but I bet it’s prettier than Cataloochee, which is awesome.
Thank for sharing my friend.
Some of those homes are well preserved, what I wouldn’t give to have one of those fireplaces!❤️
Thanks for sharing this my friend.

Oh...I didn't wait long enough...you posted it was an original road in the area...
Just old farm road of the Cove abandoned by the park service. Thanks for sharing this. By the look of the trees it was a old one.
Couldn’t you imagine living in the cove when them barns and houses were built???
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Could have handled a 24 hrs. video like this it would be great sleep video
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Hey Donnie, have you turned down that road there just past the cable mill,and gone across the wilderness road?
I have, But the Parson Branch road has been close the last two years. Rich mountain road is still open to the north. Both beautiful roads. Thanks for sharing my friend.
IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS COMING THERE WITH SOME FRIENDS IN OCTOBER BUT MY LITTLE DOG OF ALMOST SIXTEEN YEARS WAS NOT FEELING WELL SO I STAYED WITH HER. I TOOK HER TO HER VET AND HE SAID NANCY HOW OLD IS COCO AND I SAID THE SAME AGE I TOLD YOU LAST. SHE IS STILL WITH ME,,
Thank you friend.
Does anyone know what the building is at about 12:23 mark?
I would say it is a corn crib or tack room most likely for wagons and buggies in that time to store under my friend.
Whatsoever things are good think on these.
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Are there any Confederate graves in Cades cove?
Not sure my friend.
what no blurry pictures or videos of bigfoot there
Sorry my friend.
I bet Bigfoot got blurry pictures or Videos of Donnie though . 🙉🖖
