Also, any chance you would consider a follow up visit to that Summit resort place in The Poconos? Checking in but also perhaps showing some things you didn't the first time around? My favorite video of yours and also made me obsessed with the place. Humble fan suggestion.

So crazy, I just was thinking about the elkmont, especially the wonderland club, then you post this. Thank you. I looked it up as i was watching this, and I found that some arsonist burned it to the ground. Heart breaking.

Wood in those houses was probably treated. Varnished or painted, but even with today's wood lacquers you have to paint every few years on outside surfaces, even those that are never touched by anything. Elements wreck untreated wood. So it's not hard to imagine that when roofs leak for decades wood becomes completely rotten and collapses on itself.

I love urbex type activities but 99% of urbex videos are utter shit, either because they're about showing off, or trying too hard to be full of action and drama. I really like that yours convey the atmosphere, quiet, stillness and suspense of exploring an abandoned place.

I did some research on that place a while back and it's abandoned because the land was leased from the government, and once the lease was up the first time they were granted a 15 year extension but after that they refused to extend it further and the 25 or so people that were still living there had to leave. Also, you didn't get to see the main clubhouse (the big white building you saw was the hotel/ballroom), because it collapsed in a storm due to neglect years back and the park service removed the remains. Awesome video!

Dear Dan, my favorite KZitem therapist, I want to thank you so much for making your videos, specifically this one because it hits home to me. I live in Florida and don't like to go outside much because it's so horrendous 90% of the year and nature is one of the things that brings me true peace and happiness, so I spend a lot of time being pathetic in my room watching KZitem in front of a fan.. but earlier this year I was admitted to a residential mental health treatment center in Sevierville, Tennessee, which is also located inside of the national park, and I was there for about 7 weeks before I returned home, and what you say in this video about the fresh air of the Smoky Mountains and how you just want to bottle it and keep it forever, it really connects with me, because on my first morning at the treatment center, I went outside and took the biggest breath in and just closed my eyes and listened to the birds chirping their "cheeseburger" song and I knew it was the beginning of the rest of my new life... I really truly appreciate you, your sincerity, your intelligence, your sense of humor, and most of all, your fucking BALLS.

It'll be awfully hard to get in to those homes with heavy machinery in the second village, the tree growth is too dense. They'd have to do some clearing first. And I highly doubt they'd want people going in to manually dismantle them, that's really only feasible if a building is still mostly structurally sound, which those definitely are not. Those may well just be allowed to fall back into the earth.

I grew up on the very edge of the Smokies, on the Qualla reservation not too far from Elkmont. Glad you like my mountains. Some of these houses were privately owned vacation homes and were occupied seasonally up until the late 70s, when all their occupancy agreements with the Federal government ran out. (There were similar agreements with residents of Cades Cove.) Last time I heard, there are no immediate plans to tear them down.

I really appreciate you sharing such awesome footage with us all, and especially how much effort you put in to getting such high quality. I’m not really sure how to explain why urban exploration videos mean so much to me, but they’re so interesting and invoke a lot of feelings. Your videos in particular help soothe my anxiety by giving me something to focus on like the stories of these places. When I’m in a better financial position I plan on becoming a patron for sure. But in the meantime, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content and the effort you put in.

Dan Bell+ Why was the Henry River Mill Town abandoned? I so agree that the graffiti is frustrating to see. Although there was a lot of decay, I really liked those old 100+ years old houses in Henry River Mill Town:). Also, why can't The Wonderland Club and its surrounding houses be razed and then built again as a reproduction of those buildings with "treated" local wood from the Great Smokey Mountains National Park? It was be really nice if this National Park could have a "Wonderland Club" Motel and houses for guests of all incomes. I know what you mean by you just do not see people dressing up for Dinner and have meals be "an event". It would be nice if people put their cell phones down and just got dressed up at least for Dinner to socialize to meet some really nice friends:). Sadly, in the 21st Century people are so busy that the mountain air is something that a lot of people fail to appreciate. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece of American History:)!!!
