Comparing the photos was awesome!! I have never been there, but have watched many videos of the place. Was watching a guy named John videoing there and as he stepped around the side of a building, he almost ran into a bear!! He turned and walked away!! The bear was as shocked as he was and just went on his way😮!!
Thanks for showing this. We love the Elkmount area and thanks to your videos we have found the troll bridge and the hotel on the hill that burnt. One of our favorite places to hike is the road there at the troll bridge and Spence cabin. We walk as far as comfortable and turn around. It’s beautiful walking and listening to the river. ❤
My mother, brother and I stayed at the motel sometime I think in the early 1980s before it closed. They had square dancing in the hall one night while we were there. Thanks for showing the area now.
I love the smokies with your videos. So cute. I live in Puerto Rico a beautiful island but TN is more amazing. But bears is a problem. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Will and Dawn!! So glad to see you guys back in Elkmont!! We absolutely love this place. It’s so fun to escape the crowds and explore the area. Would love to see y’all make the Avent cabin hike again next time your up that way.
We were just up there last week, and we enjoyed going through the cabins that recently opened. It was fun trying to imagine what it was like in that exclusive community.
Thank you so much for all your filming of the wildflowers and Elkmont! You are so good at what you do. We walked over to the Wonderland hotel about eight years ago. We looked in the windows and everything, so sorry to see there was a fire.
Enjoyed the video. You do a much better job than I. We were there a couple of years ago. Hiked the loop and walked through the cabins. A ranger said they are done. You can rent a couple of the buildings for events.
This is definitely a beautiful place. We have been there last year. Thanks to your video showing this place. We would’ve never known it was there. We love it up there.
We watched this on our TV It was really beautiful. Loved the bear in the tree and the cabins.. Thanks for sharing, we are coming the end of May🚙 and we are definitely going to tour the cabins . (I'm taking bear spray).😳🤭🐻🙏
We're here right now over from Scotland. Went to Cherokee and Bryson city today. Went to Jimmy Macs for lunch and got some ice cream from the chocolate shoppe! Stopped off at the viewing points along the way in the great smoky mountains state park.
Nice place to see. Thanks Will and Dawn. Loved seeing the troll bridge and also Daisy town. Then the deer crossing the road. A young one. Thanks for taking us along. 😊
Will and Dawn, really enjoyed your video! Thank you for taking me along with you on your adventures! Beautiful wildflowers and trail and beautiful cabins! Can't wait till your next vlog. Love y'all!❤️❤️
If you had watched his videos for a long time, you would have seen some of them. Will is also a great photographer. I think he’s very humble about his talent!!
Great video!! Loved the turkey and deer at the end! And you started off with the bear at the beginning !! You have been showing us the bears in the trees lately!!! We never thought of looking up for them! We’ll be watching from now on!! This was such a good video! I’m watching it for a second time❤❤!!
I Love the Elkmont history so much! I can’t wait to see all the repaired cabins in person on our next trip. Thanks y’all for another great vid!! 🎉🙌🙌❤️🎉
I loved this video..sorry you got bitten by so many flies 😣..I hope the fireplace stays up..hope u both are good..any pics of the whale watching in Alaska?
Have you been to the Chapman Cabin lately? We were out there last month on our way to the Avent cabin and it is getting close to being done. That first cabin y'all walked into is actually built around a tree, one of the windows you walked past is actually right next to the tree. Elkmont is one of my favorite places to just hang out and chill, and hike Jakes Creek Trail.
Will you wish people visiting would not deface the property when they were restoring the home I was ofer a change to help restore them but due to health reason I could do it
I loved the walk through the cabins. Shame they rent them out or sell them cause i would consider giving up the city life to live the country with my family. Listening to the creek and birds would put me to sleep such a relaxing place.❤❤❤
Daisytown is one of my favorite places to visit. The last time we were there they were still working on restoring the cabins that you showed. It was great to see them. Thanks for showing them. Dawn you better watch our for Spearfinger.
Hey Will and Dawn! Love to see a new video. I hope you guys had a lot of fun in Alaska!! My family recently went to the Melting Pot restaurant because of your videos and we loved it! Happy belated birthday Dawn! 🥳🎉🎂
I saw the burned out remnants of Wonderland Hotel sometime around 2005 or 2007. The NPS had it fenced off. They were still trying to figure out what to do with the area. NPS wanted to tear everything down but the historical preservationists won out. I thought it would be great if they opened that area as another lodge, one that is more accessible than Leconte.
Dawn you look so pretty,.. it’s been awhile since y’all have been there..those homes are looking nice, makes me wonder how life was when they were newly built..thank you Will and Dawn this was definitely a fun day!!😊💕
Great video. Im really looking forward to your videos from the Alaska cruise your on. I hope it's a different cruise line than you've used before. The difference cruise lines help us see which cruise line and or ports we might enjoy. Maybe one day my husband and I can go on a cruise for my birthday or our anniversary. We are celebrating my birthday in Dollywood this year.
We're here right now over from Scotland. Went to Cherokee and Bryson city today. Went to Jimmy Macs for lunch and got some ice cream from the chocolate shoppe! Stopped off at the viewing points along the way in the great smoky mountains state park.
So, so happy to see you filming inside the National Park again. More, please🙏🏾.

Awesome video guys ,those cabins are so cool. Great work done thank you for sharing
Love Elkmont
We have lots of pictures from 2017. It was fun exploring before any work was done to cabins.
That was an old Rheem hot water heater in the kitchen
Great video will and dawn 👍 keep up the good work 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Happy Belated Birthday Dawn!!!!
THANKS FOR SHARING A LOT #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏
I have entered the firefly lottery. We find out Tuesday if we won.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Great video ! Dawn seems a little nervous going into a couple of the rooms. Did she see something that startled her ?
I bet if those cabins were rebuilt, people would come back and it would increase revenue for the park.
We just went to Daisy Town today!!! They were actually used up to 1992 when the National Park took them over.
I stayed in the Elkmont cabins back in the day, and It was a wonderful experience. We had many adventures. I miss those days.
Really enjoyed the old cabins

This is true history of the Smokies seeing how people lived I love this just seeing how people lived is fascinating

I remember the first time I went to cades cove there was a house or two that people still lived in.
It's a beautiful day in the Tennessee mountains 🏔️ the dogwoods and all the wildflowers are beautiful 🌹🪻🏵️🌻💯

You are so welcome!
Wil, you need to start showing some of these pictures you say that you have taken. I think a lot of your subscribers would love to see them.
If you had watched his videos for a long time, you would have seen some of them. Will is also a great photographer. I think he’s very humble about his talent!!

Enjoy the tours you do of many historic places in the area. Very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing this trip with us
Another nice tour- thank you
Have fun in Alaska 😎🇺🇸👍
Thank you! Will do!
Daisytown is one of my favorite places to visit. The last time we were there they were still working on restoring the cabins that you showed. It was great to see them. Thanks for showing them. Dawn you better watch our for Spearfinger.
That place would have been amazing in its glory days. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Will and Dawn! Love to see a new video. I hope you guys had a lot of fun in Alaska!! My family recently went to the Melting Pot restaurant because of your videos and we loved it!
Happy belated birthday Dawn! 🥳🎉🎂
That is awesome!
My favorite place 💙
I think it would have been so peaceful living in one of the cabins back in the day, love seeing the wildlife 💕

That place looks like it would be a fun place to be. 29:16
Deer flies hurt a lot when they bite you 😐
👋😃🏠🏠🏠
All the times we have been to Elkmont and Daisytown we have never been to millionaires row. Somehow we always miss it and can't find it.
It would be cool if you did a collage/slide of those cabins that were once there.
Wish we were there!
Dawn you look so pretty,.. it’s been awhile since y’all have been there..those homes are looking nice, makes me wonder how life was when they were newly built..thank you Will and Dawn this was definitely a fun day!!😊💕
Thank you 😃
Love to see the bears
When were there bears?
@@JOHN-yh6xe At the beginning there was a young one up a tree.
Spring is so beautiful in Tennessee and Kentucky ❤The Smokies!
😊😊👍

Hello from Tullahoma Tennessee
Don't forget the thumbs up please.
God bless
Hello there!
they should rebuild 😊the hotel
Why did nobody rebuild there
I suppose they owned the cabins but not the land they were built on. The lease on the land was coming to an end.
Hello there 😊 Will and Dawn 🤗
Hello there!
How are you both doing say happy mothers day to your mothers for me
Hiw many cabins are they in Daisy Town.
Do you ever think that they will rent these out
No
We're here right now over from Scotland. Went to Cherokee and Bryson city today. Went to Jimmy Macs for lunch and got some ice cream from the chocolate shoppe! Stopped off at the viewing points along the way in the great smoky mountains state park.
