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.

[@donnielaws7020]

Wow, thank you friend. So glad you enjoyed it. Your very welcome. God bless you.

[@mikefannon6994]

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!

[@donnielaws7020]

Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@cowboykelly6590]

That's A Cute Memory . Thank you for that. 🤠🖖

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.

[@donnielaws7020]

No I haven't my friend. Thanks for sharing.

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. 😊

[@donnielaws7020]

Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.

[@accousticdecay]

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.

[@donnielaws7020]

Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@kevinglennN]

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

[@donnielaws7020]

Wow, Thanks you for sharing my friend.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

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?

[@donnielaws7020]

Good question friend. I'm not really sure. Thanks for sharing.

[@cadeevans4623]

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

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

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...

[@donnielaws7020]

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.

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.

[@donnabradley765]

Does anyone know what the building is at about 12:23 mark?

[@donnielaws7020]
