My mom was born in Knoxville and she use to go to Gatlinburg when she was a kid. She has told stories about how it looked back then and how it was nothing like it is today. I enjoyed hearing about your connection to the area. There is nothing better than seeing the Smoky Mountain area in the snow!
We agree! Snowfall in the Smokies is a beautiful sight! Love hearing about stories from your mom. That is so awesome!
Thanks for the video I had never seen those covered bridges they were both so beautiful. It was nice to be able to see all of Gatlinburg without the crowds . The last time we were in Gatlinburg it was like walking in a herd of horses and cows you couldn't enjoy anything. I would be coming there now if I wasn't dealing with a severe broken ankle .
Sheila we are so so sorry to hear about your ankle. We pray it heals well! We are so glad you were able to enjoy the video as hardly anything compares to a snowfall in the Smokies
Great job on the photos of the snow and covered bridges, my husband and I have been exploring covered bridges in Ohio where we live....it is so neat to hear of your family history and places and things you did when you were little... such sweet and great memories... Thanks for sharing and taking us along with you both..
Thank you for the kind words! We love the way the snowfall looks in the Smokies! One of the most beautiful sights!
Great family history ! I just subscribed....❤
Thanks for subbing! We appreciate you so much! So glad you enjoyed snowfall in the Smokies!
Our first vacation to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg was last year in May . We fell in love with the Smoky Mountains and came back in December Christmas week. It's so beautiful to see it with snow now.
That is awesome! Nothing quite as beautiful for sure as a snowfall in the Smokies! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely love this area. I have been visiting Gatlinburg since 1973 and boy has it changed. My husband and I were just there Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for the video.
Thank you so much for watching! It has changed oh so much but you gotta love it! It’s home! Glad you enjoyed the snowfall in the Smokies!
Been going there over 50 years and it has changed so much.
We always had a good time going to pigeon forge, Gatlinburg and cherokee through the years. We dont go very much because things are so expensive now but we still love the memories of the 100's of times we went. Beautiful place.
Precious memories to be sure! Beautiful to be sure! Especially a snowfall in the Smokies! Thank you for coming along!
Thanks for taking us on the ride! We have never been to the Smokies in the snow! It sure is beautiful!❤
Thanks for watching! The snowfall in the Smokies is a beautiful thing!
Nice photography and video! Thankyou 👍🏼
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that. We love a snowfall in the Smokies!
Beautiful
Thank you! Ain’t much more beautiful than a snowfall in the Smokies
I'm 50 now. In the mid 80's & early 90's stopped for the night once a year in July on our family vacations. Pigeon Forge has grown in these past 35 years or so. Gatlinburg was always more condensed. I now take my children to the Smokies. We love it & I hope to retire there someday.
Thanks for sharing with us Kim! We always like to hear this! We hope you can retire here as well 😊
We visited Gatlinburg the week before Christmas. Stayed in a cabin. We've been to Gatlinburg years ago. But the most scary thing was taking the bypass into Gatlinburg. Didn't know that we were at the very top and had to wind our way all the way down into the area of the Aquarium. What a trip.😊
Those roads can get real rough for sure. Did you enjoy the cabin? Wish you could have had a snowfall in the Smokies. A magical thing
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun
Yes we did enjoy the cabin.
It is a beautiful city. We enjoy there every New Year since 2020, we love Gatlinburg.
Beautiful is a great word for it! Hard to think of anything more beautiful than a snowfall in the Smokies!
Beautiful video! We've had snow and cold here in SE Kansas the last 3 days. Light snow, but highs only in the single digits with lows below zero. Unusual for us. I can't get warm! Brrr! 🥶 Stay warm! ❤
You all stay warm too Gayla! That is so cold! We are glad you enjoyed snowfall in the Smokies!
Been going to Cherokee and Gatlinburg since I was 2 years old. I am 62 now. Many trips with my parents who I miss very much. We always loved it. Boy how it has grown now though. Use to be very simple. My sisters, when they were young, went trick or treating in Gatlinburg at the stores. Good memories. Gatlinburg is a little too crowded for us now, though, we still go sometimes. We stay in Cherokee more often now. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your memories! I have many of the same and I agree it has grown so much! Glad you enjoyed a snowfall in the Smokies!
Always love seeing the snowfall ❤ Love seeing the old barns, landscape, cover bridges covered in snow🥰 Thanks for the history lesson and sharing God's great creations ❤🤗 God bless
God paints a beautiful canvas to be sure! Brooks is proud of his history and heritage 😊. Very important to him. Snowfall in the Smokies is a magical thing
Love the snow in the mountains!! So beautiful ❤
The best!
So beautiful! Brings back so many memories. I started going to Gatlinburg as a baby...50+ years ago. I can't believe how much it has changed. It has always been my home away from home. I also can't believe how much downtown Gatlinburg has changed. One place I remember is Xanadu. I loved touring the house. We mainly stayed at Leconte Creek and Johnson's Inn. The Village was my favorite place. So many good memories.
Thank you so much for sharing those memories! When I was in high school I worked for my uncle at his landscaping business and we had the contract for all the flowers and landscaping in the Village. I loved going there.
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun I probably saw your family. I remember seeing flowers changed and watered.
Thst is beautiful scenery. We love to be there when it snows. Makes the mountains more magical. Stay safe and warm my friends. ❤
You all do the same! We appreciate it! Nothing like a good snowfall in the Smokies! Give us a call next time you all are in the area!
@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun I was just talking to my hubby about thst. We really do need to meet. I'm so ready to come back. Our last couple of trips have been quick ones. We came up on Friday and had to come home on Sunday. Stay safe friends ❤️🙏
a big Salut to your efforts 🫡
And a big salute to you for watching! We appreciate you! Nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
Hello Brooks and Christy! Hope you guys are doing great! Brooks your roots run very deep here and what a beautiful blessing to be close to your family roots! I loved the covered bridges they were beautiful! 💕
Thank you so much! Stay safe and warm! We are doing well! We hope you are too! It is a blessing! Snowfall in the Smokies is just so beautiful to us!
I love old covered bridges. This was a wonderful video, thank you
We love them too! Thank you for watching! Hope you all are doing good! Glad you enjoyed snowfall in the Smokies!
Thanks for showing us the snow! Great video!
Thanks for watching Donnie! Snowfall in the Smokies is a magical thing
So beautiful and peaceful! I’ll be there in less than two weeks. Staying in the Arts and Crafts community and plan to take the family to the Peddler. Made my reservation. Excited about the trip!
We love the arts and crafts community! Peddler is always great! It is beautiful here! Snowfall in the Smokies is such a peaceful thing
THANK YOU for this video. I am a "snow lover". BEAUTIFUL! God bless you.
God bless you Kathy! You are so welcome! We are snow lovers too. Snowfall in the Smokies is just beautiful for sure
like a snowbunny?
Beautiful video
Thank you so much Amy! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of the most beautiful sights to us!
Great video! Im a guy born in 1960, and my family visited the Smokies most years from the late 60s to 80. It was our yearly vacation spot. Johnsons Inn was our spot in Gatlinburg. Dad loved to take us to Mynat Park, and cook breakfast on our little Coleman stove. In the evening our big thing to do was going to ReaganTerrace ( I think that was the name) and getting Frozen Yogurt from the little shop there and sitting on the benches watching everyone walk by! Our entertainment for thw evening ! I miss those simple times and am not a big fan of all the moonshine and 420 places that have come to be in town .
Jeffery thank you for sharing your memories with us! We cherish those times. The simpler days are something we long for sometimes as well. Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed seeing the streams and covered bridges again. My family came from William Whaley. My generation came from Alexander a,Nelson
Great video times a changing went to pigeon forge on our Honeymoon 53 years ago 😅
They are a changing for sure! One thing that don’t change is the beauty of snowfall in the Smokies 😊
Great video. We kinda like the Smokies...lol..from Ralph and Tracie
Thanks for watching! Yeah you kinda do 😉
Gorgeous!!!❤
Thank you so much! Ain’t much more beautiful than a snowfall in the Smokies
Love it!
Really enjoyed this video. The scenery, music, and narration were just perfect. Love that area. Hoping to retire to somewhere nearby in about 10 years.
Thank you so much for that! Hopefully you can retire here and see firsthand the beautiful snowfall in the Smokies!
Really enjoyed your video! Christy, I love taking pictures and have ever since I school! We didn't get any snow and I'm jealous! Thank you for taking me along with y'all on your beautiful drive! Love y'all and God Bless You!❤️
Love you and God bless you too Carla! Thank you for coming along with us. Not much beats a snowfall in the Smokies
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun you're welcome!❤️

Thanks so much for this. I LOVE the Smokies ! Wish I was there. It's COLD ice & snow here in Winfield Alabama.
You are so welcome! Stay warm in Alabama! It is beautiful here and nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
My husband and I always go to Gatlinburg. We always stay at that comfort Inn right at on the right as you go into Gatlinburg. No it’s on the left and Oh red is right there at the end of the road we love Gatlinburg I would love to learn more about it so I can find more interesting places to stay, this year was our first trip to Anakeesta and it was great. Thanks for that tour.
You are so welcome! A snowfall in the Smokies is a magical thing!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am from Florida wish I was there when it snowed.
Joann you are so welcome! Thank you for watching! So glad we could take you along
We live 5 minutes from Parke County Indiana. Home of Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. It is 10 days long and has over 2 million visitors and many Covered bridges.
That is awesome! Covered bridges make for great scenery! Beautiful is the only way you can describe snowfall in the Smokies!
I like snowy
Snowfall in the Smokies is beautiful 😊
You both do such a terrific job and both of you have the most soft lovely voices. Keep up the good work and God bless you both.
Thank you for the wonderful compliments! We appreciate it! God bless you! Nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of the most beautiful sights!
The first time my husband and I were in Gatlinburg, we met Zenith Whaley. He carried us to the Whaley cabin and the Messer barn. Then to the cemetery. he told all kinds of history. We loved it. We're getting up in age and probably won't make it back? Thanks for the film.
You are most welcome! Thank you for sharing that! We love to hear stories about time gone by
Also, I love your stories in this video. I am now following. 😊
Ladonna thank you so much! That means a lot! Glad to have you along with us!
We came in 1971 on our honeymoon. It has been my favorite place since then. We have been there many times. Back in 1971, Sevierville was just a small town and Pigeon Forge was not very impressive either. The last time we were in Gatlinburg was 2022 and we were there when there was a car show in Pigeon Forge. We got stuck in a gridlock on that road from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge and it actually took us 7 hours to get from Gatlinburg to Traffic Light #3 in Pigeon Forge! I swore I’d never go back, but I know I will, I can’t stay away. I’m glad I found your channel 😊
We are glad you are here! You can’t stay away from here. We understand that! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of our favorite sights 😊
Thank you for the share and ride Smokies to me is my heaven on earth my husband and I went once or twice a year and now he's gone so this is my only way of returning thank you ❤
Linda we are sorry for your loss but we are glad to be able to show you the snowfall in the Smokies! We love having you along for the ride! God bless you!
Great tour!! I live a stones throw away from Harrisburg Bridge, and it's been years since I've been to Gatlinburg... but it was like being right there with you.
Tammy thank you so much for joining us! We would love to have you subscribe! We are glad you came along with us! A snowfall in the Smokies is a magical thing!
We got between 4 and 6 inches here in Clarksville. It's beautiful!
Stay warm out there Donna! Snowfall in the Smokies is so beautiful!
Really enjoyed the views & the fresh snowfall. Good job guys😀🙏🦉🦌🦃🦝🦫🐿️
Thank you so much! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of the most beautiful sights to us!
Beautiful. Gatlinburg is nothing like it used to be. It's sad to see it now. The whole atmosphere has changed. Seems to be all about alcohol and bars. When I come I stay in nature. Love your channel. Very sweet and beautiful couple. God bless.
God bless you and thank you for the kind words! Nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
Thanks for showing us the beauty of the snow in the Smokies! I was excited to learn that Martha Jane Huskey is Brooks' 6th great-grandmother. When I researched my ancestry, I learned that my roots go back to the Smokies and Martha Jane Huskey is my 5th great-grandmother on my dad's side. I have only been to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area once, but made it a point to visit that cabin. I was born with the surname Carter, but I learned that my 2nd great-grandfather shortened it from McCarter. Thanks for the great videos. I hope that I can visit the area again soon.
Teresa it sounds like we are kin 😊. That is so awesome! There is hardly anything that compares to a snowfall in the Smokies. That is for sure. If you get to visit again let us know! - Brooks
Beautiful video ❤
You are so kind! Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed your video. We’ve traveled to the Smoky Mountains for over 40ty. years. We are sad to see the Moonshine and other distilleries in the area. I do not like to walk the streets after dark anymore. For the past 2 years we’ve stayed in Pigeon Forge.
It is part of our heritage and I’m thankful for the ones who talk about that. But I do agree there are too many at this point. We are glad to have you here! Snowfall in the Smokies is a beautiful sight!
Loved this beautiful & informative video - thanks much for posting guys!! My personal history (& love affair with the area) w/G'burg began in 2005, when my family began taking yearly trips; We'd typically go in Feb/Mar cuz my Mom wanted to see snow!! But my Mom had a history of going to G'burg on a few family trips ALL the way back to when she was a teen; :) She described to us how different (less commercial & built up) it was then; But even tho its different now, it's definitely NOT different in a bad way - just different! 😊 We LOVE G'burg/PF/Sev'ville (have become mtn lovers, even tho from Louisiana!) and look forward to going back 'home' every year!! 💗 Again, thank u for your lovely content!! 🥰🌄
We thank you so much for your kind words! That means a lot to us! We look forward to bringing you more great content😊
Born in LaFollette, grew up all around this area. I miss it - good to find a channel from a fellow Tennessean. Seymour, Sevierville, Kodak, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge...that whole area...it's changed a LOT since I was a kid in the 50s.
We are so happy to have you here! The area has just exploded for sure! Thank you for watching!
💜 the area! Started going down here 1995. Kept coming down. We got married at Chapel in the Glades in 2004. Been coming every year. 2020 bought a place in outside Newport. Can't wait to retire my favorite place in the world! Thank u for your videos! Enjoy them so much!
That is so awesome! We appreciate the kind words! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of the most beautiful sights to us!
We love Gatlinngburg so much we bought an air😂bb just a few miles from Gatlinburg and love to visit when we have opening,the view is incredible comevisit
Judy email us and let us know about the property. We may be able to do a video tour for you if we stay over. We do photography as well. We can price updated photos for you. Our email is ramseykneemail@gmail.com. We appreciate you and thank you for watching 😊
I came to GA in1976. In Feb. 1977 my church brought the college group up to Gatlinburg on a ski trip. I was nothing then like it is now! It was more of a small town then!
It has lost a lot of its small town feel and charm. We agree. But it is hard to think of anything more beautiful for us than a snowfall in the Smokies 😊
@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun I loved Gatlinburg then and I love it now! The snow is definitely a plus!
Loved it, we are book there for the week of 12-15 February our birthday week me and wife
Thank you so much for the kind words and we hope you have a great vacation! Maybe you will have your own snowfall in the Smokies 😊
The covered bridge is something else with the snowfall!! That’s a postcard for sure!
And very cool Brooks is related to the Ogles! Stay warm you two.
Thank you Chad! If you are up this way, let us know
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun Will do!
Hello🤗. I woke up at 3am in pain. It happens almost every night now. What an encouragement and blessing it is to find your video of one of my favorite places in the world! My husband and I took our 3 sons to the Smokies many times…we loved to camp, hike and walk the streets of Gatlinburg for many vacations! Unfortunately, my husband was killed in a forklift accident when he was 52 years old. I know he’s with Jesus now but I miss him so very much. Our sons took his death hard and have moved away so my life is lonely, but I’ll always have those precious happy memories to give me moments of happiness. I pray that some day we could reunite in the Smokies and spend time together to celebrate our family again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your heritage and the beauty of a simple drive in the snow. It brings me hope to see our Lord’s Creation on earth and to look forward to His perfect Eternal Creation. ✝️🛐❤️🙏🏼 Susie in Indiana😊
Susie we were moved so much by this. We are so sorry for your loss and we pray that God grants you peace and serenity about it knowing you will see him again one day. We pray that your family could reunite here and maybe see firsthand that magical sight of a snowfall in the Smokies ❤️. God bless you!
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun Thank you! Enjoy every day together…Blessings😊
Blessings to you as well. We will do our best to enjoy our time
My family goes back 6 generations as well to Frederick Emert. Live in Knoxville and visit often.
That is so awesome! You and Brooks might be related 😊.
I'm sure we are. @@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun
Thank you for the different perspective from the back country roads. When we come in June, we plan on exploring the Pittman Center area thanks to this video. Great Job!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it! We hope you do explore and really enjoy! I’m sure there will be no snow then but glad you could join us for a snowfall in the Smokies!
Cheers from Cumberland gap TN
Cheers to you all! We love it up in Cumberland Gap! Glad you enjoyed the snowfall in the Smokies!
Love the covered bridges! ❄☕
They are beautiful anyway but during a snowfall in the Smokies they are gorgeous 😊
So different from last week! Last week, A large area of the town was flooded!!
Yes! The mountains have a way of changing the weather so much! Nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
I just ran across y'all and I have subscribed. I love The Smokies. I live in Northern Kentucky and really enjoy seeing the area! Those back roads were so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. God bless!
God bless you and thank you for subbing! Snowfall in the Smokies is such a beautiful sight! We can’t wait to show you more!
My grandfather helped to build the roads across the mountain into Cherokee. I have been going to Gatlinburg since I was a child,when nothing was there. It hurts my heart to see what it is today. Everything used to be owned by local families and nothing is now. It's a shame how commercialized it is.
We do understand that as Brooks and his family helped settle. It has definitely changed so so much but boy it is still beautiful to see a snowfall in the Smokies 😊
I live in Knoxville and we got about 10 inches. I've lived in East Tennessee all my life and this is only the 3rd or 4th time I've seen this much snow.
Yes! Knoxville typically doesn’t get that much. Glad you had that experience this time and hope you are staying warm! Thank you for enjoying with us a snowfall in the Smokies!
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun I am and thank you!
Thank you for the beautiful video & family history. My husband will be at the Great Smokies Lodge next week. Do you have any suggestions for things we must see, do &/or where to eat while we're there? We already plan to see the two bridges you drove through. We were married 25 years ago in Gatlinburg so we're coming up to celebrate. 💜🥰
So many good places to eat! We encourage you guys to go back and watch our two top 5 videos and also just some of the great restaurants in the area. You are so welcome and have a great celebration!
I live in Carter County, a little over an hour to your East, and I was a bit disappointed in the snow. I would like to have a good one again.
We are getting a better one here now but that first snowfall in the Smokies is a magical thing
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun Oh yes it is. The mountains are beautiful under snow.
Thanks for the video. Gatlinburg, Sevierville, pigeon forge have all changed tremendously! To me these places have become over run. But that's just my opinion. I miss the small town feel.
I miss the small town feel as well but I understand progress. Do wish we were back in simpler times! You are so welcome! Love showing off a snowfall in the Smokies!
We have about 5-6 inches of snow here in Southwest Virginia
That is awesome! Snowfall is all over the map down here in the Smokies right now but it is really starting to put it down out here
That was fun, thank you for sharing your adventure, I spent the 2nd night of my honeymoon in Gatlinburg!
You are so welcome! Snowfall in the Smokies is one of the most beautiful sights for us.
New subscriber here my aunt lives in Seymour and I lived in Jefferson County for awhile
That is awesome! Is your aunt staying warm and doing ok? We appreciate you subscribing and we hope to bring you a lot of great content! Nothing like a snowfall in the Smokies!
Yea heard from her this morning they are doing good thank you
Awesome to hear that
Was there two years ago and was disappointed to see all the large buildings along the ridges of the mountains. It seems to me these condos and buildings take away the beauty of the mountains and they are everywhere up there!
It has become saturated to be sure. There is still nothing quite as beautiful as a snowfall in the Smokies 😊
Disappointing that moonshine liquor is the draw instead of beauy of the mountains.
We love moonshine as part of the heritage of the area as it’s been a part of Brooks life growing up but you are right. Nothing draws you to the mountains like the beauty especially a snowfall in the Smokies!
Shows how this world is-- there is ALWAYS some FOOL that wants to destroy something as beautiful as that Harrison Covered Bridge... GLAD they had enough sense to STOP that.
A beautiful bridge! Glad you enjoyed the snowfall in the Smokies!
I do not like Gatlinburg because it is to cookie cutter commercialized
It has become that way but we still love it. I like to think of the good ole days. But we do love a snowfall in the Smokies
Beautiful
BEAUTIFUL. WISH THERE HAD BEEN MORE SNOW FOR YOU TO ENJOY
Thank you so much! God paints a beautiful canvas! Something magical about a snowfall in the Smokies!
