Brevard: Our Favorite Mountain Town in NC! (7 Reasons Why) North Carolina Travel Vlog 2022

[@cosmicgregg]

Being a Brevard resident I can sincerely ask that those of you who are tourists and not from here. Please pick up your garbage and obey the forest laws. We don't mind having you visit the beauty of this place, but leave it as you've found it please.

[@badassbenny1010]

I agree where ever a tourist goes to pick up trash. Not friendly vibes. Reminds me of Astoria Orgeon, if your not from that area, even for 2 decades you are a new Comer and don't fit in. I would say not thank you. Environment is great about the people, the community that makes the town. Gorgeous because, God did it all. My daughter loves squirrels and we have not heard of a white squirrel that got left from a carnival. Whoops! Left some baggage. How town's and cities grow. Not into smug hateful attitudes towards others.

I went to Brevard College in 1958 to 1960. Loved it there. One small movie theatre, 4 lane bowling alley, 2 pool halls. I was born and raised in Chicago, so big change.

[@teetime4me]

I just finished remodeling the bowling alley to an Ace Hardware .it is a great small town. Lots of places close by to explore .

[@fox1gamer4]

I have went to Brevard for 3 years straight now. Every time I go I feel like it's my first time there. Everything there is so relaxing. My favorite part about it is the fact that the waterfalls and mountain views aren't that far away, matter of fact, just down the road from the house I stay at there is a waterfall. Every year I go I have to go to Pretty Place and Living Waters. If anybody that sees this ever goes to Brevard, I definitely recommend Pretty Place.

[@buildanadventure]

North Carolina holds a lot of nostalgia for us! Brevard is a beautiful place 💕 We don't see many waterfalls in Fl so we are so giddy when we get to see them in other states!

[@laurenandseth]

Relatable! When we live away from the mountains for a long time we’re just happy with any big hill we see, much less waterfalls. 😊 but then when we live in the mountains and visit Florida with the tropical vibes, wildlife and crystal clear water we’re in awe too.

[@youtube_locksnag8322]

I love Brevard! I went a few years ago but still learned a lot about it from this video. The scene where Seth fell down was hilarious.

[@mattersfact2]

Awesome! We live in Fletcher and know the area well. It's beautiful country and a photographer's dream.

[@laurenandseth]

Nice, we haven’t explored Fletcher yet. I love it’s location though. Yes!! The photography ops there are the best! 😊

[@SantosChronicles]

Good morning! White Squirrels would freak me out. Oh wow, book to waterfall transition is awesome! Love movie locations. Waterfall negative ions - learn something new with your videos. I miss flying my drone. Every time I want to fly it it rain, snows, or super windy. That cottage is so nice. Blue ghost fireflies is something little Rosalie would love.

[@adaleecarrick4376]

I think we will go to Brevard for the weekend in April!

[@laurenandseth]

Great idea! 😊

[@lucasgraham505]

Brevard was good back in the mid 90s when i was in high school. No tourists all the waterfalls to your self. Plenty of times going up to turtle back falls by myself. Swimming, Falling asleep on the rocks only to be woken up by a rain storm and absolutely not 1 person coming down the the falls...

[@NoOne-wv6zc]

Western NC is beautiful, this includes Polk county and all the vineyards. NC produces really great wines.

[@laurenandseth]

Definitely true! 🍷

[@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377]

Great video! It was shared by a local resident who wanted us to see where she lives! So true about the water!

That's so cool! :)

My favorite is Hendersonville/Flat Rock just down the road from Brevard. I lived there for a time and hated leaving! ❤️

[@laurenandseth]

Oh yeah, beautiful area!

I live just up the street from you thumb nail pic. And lived in town to. My aunt and uncle used to live in the linger long cabins before it become what it is now.

North Carolina is so beautiful. The waterfalls are just so relaxing. I am curious what the official white squirrel count is for this video 😂-S

[@trvlnthru]

We have heard of the town of Brevard but have never been there. It looks beautiful. There is so much beauty in the mountains of North Carolina. I had never heard of white squirrels or blue ghost fireflies before. Thanks for introducing us to Brevard and its unusual inhabitants!

[@_Johnspike_]

I never knew Brevard had white squirrels and ghost fireflies. That sounds pretty cool

Haha as someone who just moved to Brevard yepp the white squirrels are my fav thing :)

That’s awesome. How do you like Naples?

[@communityprepper6153]

Just moved to Asheville 10 days ago (November 2022). So far I love it. Been exploring the area and all it has to offer. I can't wait to see the white squirrels. I may want to keep one as a pet (kidding). Thanks for the video!

[@SalRuggiero]

not much there , the forest and downtown are nice though .

[@jennzawojski9945]

I live in Brevard and one VERY important thing to consider is that it RAINS SO MUCH here. More than Seattle, and almost twice as much as the national average. It rains almost every day in the spring and summer and it can be miserable.

[@Metalmirq]

I love the rain. Sounds great to me

If you head down 276 South from Lingerlong, you'll find pottery places, Conestee Falls, and Pretty Place, which is beautiful at sunrise. Raven Cliff falls are just over the state line.

[@laurenandseth]

You’re awesome, thanks for the tips! 😊

[@JeremySmithOfNewScotland]

White squirrels radio! Love the waterfalls, I’d consider visiting for these beautiful falls alone. Once COVID restrictions loosen I could drive to NC in a day. Those cabins look deceiving, way better on the inside. Blue ghost fireflies! Wow those are incredible, I’d be happy if they migrated north. Brevard looks like a great spot, thanks for sharing!

[@laurenandseth]

I knew you’d appreciate the falls! There’s nothing like waterfalls, I’d drive a long way for waterfall chasing too! Let us know if you do decide to come down to NC in the future. Would love to meet up if we’re stateside when you do.

[@montemenasco8584]

Hello from Too HOT Texas. So my wife and I knew nothing about NC, still don’t really. She found something on the internet about Brevard and we are planning a Labor Day trip there. If things go as well as we think, we will move out there in about 5 years to retire. I was very concerned that I might be making a bad decision but your video really helps me out. When we are about a year away, we plan on a trip and living a couple months in an airbnb just to make the final decision. I think we will come around 4 times a year before that. It looks terrific though. Thanks for the video.

[@laurenandseth]

Hey, that’s awesome! It’s definitely a lot cooler in that part of NC. Especially in higher elevations. I think retiring there sounds like a great idea. Have you visited yet, if so, I’m curious to know how y’all liked it?

[@bobclapper2672]

Thanks For this one , we will be going there in the future ! If you have any more near the Blue Ridge Parkway , please Post .

[@laurenandseth]

Awesome hope you enjoy it! We’ll be posting some more in the future from that area!

Such a great video. Next time get up to the top of Sassafrass Mountain where you can have one foot in NC and the other in SC and look out to Georgia. It’s awesome.

[@pamelasmith5733]

I see you have found, my favorite falls- Moore Cove Falls. I have been to most of the falls many many times. I have followed the book by Kevin Adams on NC falls. He has three books and each one tells the difficulty of each falls, the length of each falls, time involved, etc. hope you have this book. The 1st one is the best. He has others. That is good also. Good luck on your travels. The best place to go is Brevard.

Some of the Brevard family of North Carolina in the 1700s are in my family tree. Margaret Brevard was the daughter of Robert and Sarah (Craig) Brevard. She was born in 1754 in Rowan County and she is my 5th great-grandmother. She married John Huggins in 1772. I didn't know there was a town with their last name, but it must be named after the family. I know they were a big family, and early to North Carolina. I hope to come back there and travel around, and see the places my ancestors lived so long ago.

Everybody loves the mountains here we have 20 million annual tourist come to visit Brevard and Asheville. Before everyone comes visit though learn the roads, figure out where you are going and don’t stop in the middle of the road if you missed your turn just keep going and turn around somewhere. This is not a big town at all and it makes people lives that live here easier if everyone who visited learned the area first and learned the roads.

[@eddiefillman8735]

🦇😊 Nice portrayal of my family's home town. The tourist that are responsible and their spending money is good for the people.

Spent a week , a very nice down town , one of my favorites and my favorite store the Man cave . what I did like about it was the forest was right there . Not a lot of restaurants to eat at but there is this Puerto Rican restaurant is that they have a variety of good food . their Wal mart is the worst walmart that I have ever been to . the white squirrels are neat ,Hendersonville to me is alot nicer and more to do .

I am 76 years old. Does this town have a good hospital, in case I have a stroke or heart attack. Health care is very important to Senior citizens. How far away is Asheville?

[@Enjoyinglife22]

Unfortunately, the hospitals have a bad reputation, so that is something to think about. I live in Hendersonville and probably will move back to Charlotte in the next 6 to 8 months, but we will see. I am almost 62.

[@deborahdean8867]

They have a small hospital here, but if its anything serious you have to go to Asheville, and THAT hospital has a terrible reputation. I had open heart surgery there and had 2 phone chargers stolen by staff. Brevard has plenty of primary cares, but specialists are low quality and pul have to travel regularly to Asheville for doctor appointments. Most of your shopping will have to be done in hendersonville or Asheville. Brevard has a ingles and food lion. One belks and one pitiful Walmart. Mostly its fast food restaurants and some cute shops on main st. Thete are lots of food banks, a homeless shelter and soup kitchen. Lots of drug addiction and homelessness. Not really the best place to spend the rest of your life. And because it's kinda mountainous, it takes a long time to go places. I have friends who live 30 miles away, and it takes them an hour and a half to get here.
