- We took so many photos of the cabins in the ghost town of Elkmont Tn in 2016 before the Park Service tore them down. We decided to go back to see what had changed! Many of the cabins are gone due to safety issues, however, the Park Service did a beautiful job in preserving Daisy Town! You can tour these beautiful 1900s vacation cabins and get a taste of what life was like for the wealthy of Knoxville!
All pictures within the video and on the thumbnail were taken by me in Elkmont, Tn in 2016 and thus are our personal photos. No photos were taken from any websites or other media. - Jak na to + styl
Sure did enjoy the video Thanks so much for taking us along
Wow, so interesting. I would have loved to see this place in its glory days. As you walked through the cabins, I tried to picture how they would have been furnished. I was so impressed that you took pictures before and was able to show how they were now renovated. It's sad that they had to take a lot of the cabins down. I love that they kept the stoned chimneys and steps. You should be a tour guide. 😆 You did a great job on this video. So glad you shared this history with us.
Thank you so much! I would live in Daisy Town if the Park Service would let me and gladly be the tour guide in exchange for room and board! 😁 It's such a fascinating little area of the park and well worth a visit!
I love watching videos that explore Elkmont/Daisytown. This is by far the best walk through I have seen. Loved when you showed the comparisons to then and now. They've done a lot of work to save these cabins! And, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I grew up going to Elkmont and staying in a cabin in the summers as a child. Our last summer there was 1992 I believe. I haven’t been back in a long time, makes me sad our cabin is no longer there. Lots of great memories made in that magical place!!
Ahh homes with character!! I love these old cabins. I appreciate you sharing the walkthrough and comparison between the last time y'all went and now.. wow it has changed. Sad to see so many fireplace remnants floating in nature like that, its lovely to imagine the life this land used to have during the summers 50-100 years ago :)
I just love the architecture!! And it was extremely sad that they had to tear those cabins down. I understand why but I still wish something else could've been done. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the before and after! The history of Elkmont is so fascinating!
Interesting and beautiful.
Definitely want to visit this the next time we go to the mountains. We love going to the Park when we are in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. My favorite parts are the old cabins that are just open to walk through. One time we got lost on this loooong road that rises up out of Gatlinburg. There were the best creeks, old cabins, and bears with almost no other people around.
I love going through those cabins too! I'm so glad they preserved several parts of the communities that used to live there. And I think you'll love Elkmont. It's so peaceful!
Super photography and narration. This video needs to be bumped up so others can see it. Subbed!
Thank you so much!!
The small cabin may have been for service workers, like a cook or maid.
I think you're right! I'm sure it was a novelty for the servants but also a lot of hard work!
That snug tee is distracting 👀✨
