  • The Wonderland Hotel is located in Elkmont, TN. Fireplaces and foundations are about all that are left. Some of the foundations are located overlooking the river. Extremely steep slope down to the river. I will be daydreaming of being there back in the day.
    Two deer were near one site. They huffed and stomped to let me know they wanted me gone. Then one of them mooned me.
    Elkmont is the location of synchronized fireflies. Once a year, for about 2 weeks, the fireflies will light up and go dark in unison. I'm told it's one species that does this but for some reason the other species join in for those two weeks. Nature is amazing.
    05:29 deer comes into view
    05:57 deer huffs at me
    06:36 deer huffs again
    06:52 get mooned by deer
    08:00 steps lead up to cottage
    11:24 river, almost straight down this hill
    13:27 what's left of another cottage
    13:58 last cottage
    14:29 barely see the river reflecting the sun
    16:39 back to the main building

    I love that you allowed us to walk through the woods silently with you.
    Too many youtubers simply love the sound of their own voices.
    Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for showing the sign at the beginning. What a strange place for a hotel, in the woods. Wonder what happened, so little left, a fire? Please be safe, times sure have changed, for the worst.

      This is now part of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Some of the historical homes have been renovated and are available to the public. I just concentrated on nature this trip. Check out the synchronized fireflies here. I have seen them once before and they are amazing. www.visitmysmokies.com/blog/smoky-mountains/elkmont-fireflies-event-smoky-mountains/

    - do you know any of the history?

      Just that there was a hotel and a small settlement there. The government came in and took over. That's the highlights. The synchronized fireflies are still in this area today. There is a lottery to determine who gets to visit for the fireflies. Deadline may have already passed. Great Smoky Mountains Park, Sugarlands Visitors Center, +1 865 436 7316. Start there for information.

      Thank you. I have tried to keep the focus on nature, not me. That said, thank you for the feedback. Will have to talk in an upcoming post for clarity. You'll get to hear the old mountain man then. LOL

      I loved listening to the river in the background and found it soothing. I wouldn't mind a bit of commentary if there's something interesting to note, but I quite enjoy feeling like I am taking a walk in the woods.
