Hiker Discovers Abandoned Town in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee
“About a mile up an unnamed gravel road inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the back way into an abandoned neighborhood and hotel, some of which was originally constructed more than 100 years ago.”

So I did just a minimal amount of digging, and apparently, this “discovery” wasn’t really a discovery. Elkmont is well known to anyone who is familiar with that area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Here is another article, and here is the wiki. Here is a bit more history. And here is another video that delves into more of the history of Elkmont.
Just one more thing: The Wonderland Club is not the same as The Wonderland Club, which was an international online pedophile ring . . .
