WAYNESVILLE NORTH CAROLINA The Gateway to the SMOKIES!

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Hello from Naples, Florida. We lived in Pinehurst, N.C. 2006 - 2017 and visited Waynesville several times. We always enjoyed our visits there. Amazing views of the town. Thank you for sharing with us, have a great week 👍💯

Waynesville N.C. is our getaway spot every fall! Love this place so much! Great video !

[@deatra-happypagirl4063]

Another great vlog. I love that you introduce us to many places around the Smokies. Waynesville sure is a treasure and would love seeing more small towns near the mountains.

Waynesville is such a nice little town. Me and my wife stayed there for one of our anniversaries a few years back. We stayed in a little B&B called Brookside Mountain Mist Inn. It was very relaxing and the owners were extremely nice. We want to go back so bad lol.

Loved this little tour around Waynesville! I agree with Karen...I love stores like The Southern Loft. I loved everything I saw! I would definitely get into trouble if I went in there! LOL Your food looked wonderful! I simply love those old buildings with the creaking floors! That General Store was huge! So many cool things and goodies! Love the things that you bought Mike & Karen! 😀Thanks for this fun video and hope to see more like this! God Bless.

Meat loaf for me is always something I usually order when its available but sometimes it's not as good as it looks but that looked really good

[@michaelmerck7576]

Those french fries look really tasty ,I like them brown like those were

[@wncjan]

Great video once again. There is a nice Mast General Store in Boone as well. My favorite place to eat in Waynesville is Haywood SmokeHouse if it's still open. Haven't been there since 2018, but I may make up for that in April.

[@michaelmerck7576]

Karen always find the most unique and stylish hats

[@nancydial5156]

Both your meals looked great have a great day

[@southernvagabond]

Hey Karen and Mike!!! Another fantastic video! I love Waynesville. It is one of my favorite spots in Western NC! One of the many reasons I love your videos is that you promote small, local businesses by taking us with you. What normally takes someone 20+ minutes to watch one of your videos takes me an hour or more because I look up each shop and/or restaurant. Thanks to y'all I keep a travel journal of places I want to shop or eat the next time I'm in town! Thank you for promoting and supporting these small towns and their businesses; they need and deserve our attention.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing with us. We always have a great time on our adventures.

We have visited Waynesville. I love all of the little shops and browsing in them. The food y'all got at the little restaurant looked delicious and was presented so nicely! You would never believe that The Mast General Store was in the middle of town like that. Quite a few people were in the store looking around. That store is a great draw for the town. Thanks for taking us to Waynesville.
