Oh my god, it's like 20 degrees out here this is stupid
[Eric laughs]
Oh, this is so hot!
I don't know what to do!
I'm burning either way
Aaaaaah!
[Eric]: Vacation!
Aah winter, hot tub, love it!
All right
I left my coffee up there
I've been out here for 60 seconds. I'm an ice cube
The longer I'm out here the more it's gonna burn.
[Allison]: Just wait 'til your toes hit this water.
[squeals]
Ah!
My gosh, oh that's luxury y'all
Hahaha
Well, good morning adventurers.
Good-ficial morning.
From our winter hot tub.
It's actually really nice now that we've gotten in but stay under the water. That's the key
Never ever get out
We have to live here now sadly
Maybe iced coffee was a bad choice. I don't know
I thought we would get hot being in the hot tub
So you guys saw it a little bit in our previous video
But we actually came to North Carolina just outside of the town of Boone just because we wanted to have some winter vibes and kind
Of get off the beaten path for a little bit. We found this really cool tiny log cabin that we've been staying in. Yeah
It's been really nice
It's a little chillier than we hope for the heaters are no match for the winter weather at the moment
But today's supposed to warm up a little bit
but in our previous video we went on a little bit of a food tour around the area got out and saw some of the
Nature saw the Blowing Rock. If you don't know what that is
You just have to watch the video to find out
Once we work up the courage to get out of the hot tub
We're gonna show you guys around our little tiny cabin because it is so adorable on the inside
Welcome to our tiny mountain cabin
Check this place out y'all so as you can see the theme in here is wood. Everything is wood for days and it's perfect
It's what we were hoping for in the mountains
It's so cozy you get a little scent of the wood when you come in. It feels very rustic in here. It's got this amazing
Open area that you walk into they put carpets everywhere and give given us slippers
So even though it gets cold outside your feet are never cold because you're always walking on the carpet, which is very nice
I love how open it is because I think that's the key with tiny houses like this you walk in and it really doesn't feel that tiny
No because it's so tall and it has the whole loft area and the living room kitchen
Dining room area are all in one so it feels a lot bigger than it really is
So you guys know we love staying in tiny homes?
But have you guys ever stayed in one or like where was your favorite? How small was it?
Some of them are smaller than others
Yeah, I'd say it's pretty big for a tiny home even though it is still pretty tiny
First, we have our big open living room with a nice couch
I think it's actually a pull-out couch so you can get even more people in here and now follow me to the kitchen
Oh, we're here cuz it's so small, but we have a full kitchen. We were able to cook
We actually made a pizza in there the other night and it would work perfectly.
I'm gonna show you guys the loft.
I don't think Allison has even been up here yet.
[Allison]: I peeked.
Woah, I lost my slipper.
But this is the loft area up here so you can see it is nice and large
It doesn't have a proper mattress up here. Oh, it actually has like pad thing here doesn't have super high roof clearance
So watch your head this light's actually broken here
And I wonder if someone sat up and bonked their head on that so that doesn't turn on anymore
But sure you can get nice and snug up there. Yeah
Thanks
Geez oh, yeah, this one is slick.
Yeah, my slipper. All these slippers have a lot more grip than my socks
Okay onward to the rest of the tiny home. We have our little dining room table here
it actually has a whole bench back under there so you can pull this out and have a whole family sitting on it down the
Hallway, we've got our huge refrigerator
Washer/dryer combo the sink we have the bathroom
In there it's cold in there. So we keep it shut though, and then the main bedroom, so there's not just the sleeping loft
There's actually this huge room back here
Which is so cozy when you have the heater going at night. Been sleeping like little babies. You can't hear anything out here
So it's so peaceful
The inside is cool but the outside also has a pretty fantastic view
Oh, it's very cold
As you can see the snow hasn't melted because I hasn't gotten above freezing but it's got this huge deck out here
Where if it's not windy cold you could eat out here have your morning coffee and there's even a fire pit
But again, we're weenies. We're not gonna be using it cuz it's too cold. Ok. Let's go back inside
But there is some snow on the ground still
We were hoping to actually get some snow when it gets old fast, but we at least wanted us a little bit of snow
Nice, cuz all the trees, you know, they don't have their leaves on them anymore
So it's nice to have some white to contrast all the brown, but that's ok
This'll do
They also have an AirBnB magazine in here, which I had no idea was a thing
Oh now that is a log cabin holy smokes that's in Hawaii, though
[Eric]: Aww, this one has an infinity pool
This one's in Boone North Carolina
This place might be a little nicer than ours, but ours is a shrunken down version of it
Holy cow it is so friggin cold
It's so cold!
I'm wearing three shirts
Well, sweater two shirts two pairs of pants and I'm still frozen and this rumbling. Oh,
That's what our heat sounds like
Probably not good for it
But it still works
So I think the plan is we're going to head to a nice little nearby hike that should have some beautiful waterfalls
Hopefully some stunning views. There are so many amazing hikes an awesome nature around this area
Oh, we could stay here for months and still not see it all the Blue Ridge
What is it blue edge Boop?
Blue Ridge Parkway
We'll be driving on it in just a bit
It has stunning views and I think it's like hundreds of miles long of just mountain amazingness. Okay, let's do it
Woah, working on my parkour skills. No big deal
It's cold and really windy out here
I did not approve this but we have found the trailhead
It should be a brisk little walk, but we're hoping to see some really beautiful little waterfalls and stuff
But sadly, I think this would be really beautiful in the fall. But all the trees or leaves are off the trees
So yeah, that's a lot of dead leaves bare trees
Still pretty though
Are you guys so proud of us cuz we've got real hiking shoes on today
If you guys have been longtime viewers of ours, you know that we do hiking somewhat frequently
But we never have the correct footwear.
Well, my shoes are completely screwed. I think some mud has seeped into my socks
That was maybe the toughest hike we've ever done our legs are more muddy than they've ever possibly been
But today we have it sorted there's water down there. I'm not even scared cuz these shoes are dang waterproof
Maybe I should warn you guys I just had a huge cup of coffee right before we started this way
She's a little doing parkour and actually like crazy person
This makes it all worth it. These guys are beautiful check that out
It's crazy cuz the stream was so tame
It was and then it just spilled over the edge here
That's a pretty substantial drop
Turns out the trail goes a little bit further down the waterfall.
So you get a nice epic view of the cascade.
I think we got a pretty sweet photo here.
And if you would like to see how the photos from today have been turning out you can go to our Instagram which is this
@theendlessadventure We have worked up a bit of an appetite though
So we're gonna hike back up to the top and head to this really fun place in Boone
Also, I think we're borderline frozen at this point
It's picking out of my glove
So we had grand plans to go out into the town and eat in a place called the Comeback Shack
Drove all the way there and realized we left our trusty old camera at home
I tell you if we took one week off for Thanksgiving from filming and everything went wrong
We don't even know how to do this anymore, but we did the next best thing
We got it to go brought it back here. The comeback Shack is actually a local I guess chain restaurant
Although there's only one here in Boone North Carolina. And then there's one in South Carolina. So we don't normally get fast food
And so this is a real treat for us and I'm so excited
We went with their seasoned fries, which I believe are all hand cut and the seasoning is their own
And then...this is what we really went for
That's right it's a burger but not just any burger
This is the local so it is beef from this county with
Carolina slaw and pickles and mustard on top. Oh my gosh, it smells so good. We both end up getting the same thing
That's okay. It sounded too good
If you watched our previous video, we actually got some fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese
Which is actually from North Carolina. It was invented here. You could upgrade these and get those two things on here
We've been smelling this the whole ride home. I'm so excited. I was so hungry
Mm-hmm I have it all over my face.
[Eric]: I think you're good.
Okay. I think there's chili
[Eric]: They put chili on there.
Was that one of the ingredients?
That's what she said when she when you asked her about it.
Oh my god, that's amazing
Slaw, pickles, chili, local beef
[Eric]: Is the meat pretty decent?
It's pretty good. I mean it looks like a fast-food burger
It's a little like dry. It's definitely not, you know, it's well done
I prefer mine medium rare, but this it's seasoned really well
And I mean, it's just your classic nice little white bun delicious burger patty and all the fixings on there
I've just been munching on these fries in the background
The fries are really good, but that's gonna do it for our time here in North Carolina. We will be back soon
I'm sure tomorrow we're actually driving back to Nashville. We're gonna leave our car there and then fly over to New York City
Why are we going to New York City Christmas markets?
Of course, we were thinking of going to Europe but we were like, yeah, it's a long flight
And we know we're gonna come back for Christmas
Anyway, so we're gonna stay around these parts and we're gonna head to a French
I think Alison mentioned it but a French Christmas market in New York and maybe some other festive stuff as well. Are you excited?
I'm very excited. This was the start to our Christmas festivities. We saw some snow on our drive here
There's been little snow pockets and we got the beautiful mountains the cold cold weather and it's gonna get colder
New York is very cold. Right? Yeah, it's time to
wine down
[Eric]: Wine down? Nice!
You know burgers and fries
Probably watch some stories Christmas movie movie snuggle up by the heater. It's gonna be a great night. Good night adventurers
We'll see you on the road
