Biltmore Estate Christmas 2013
| Here is some footage we took on the grounds of Biltmore Estate over Thanksgiving Weekend this year. We had gone up to Asheville with my grandparents and went to a Christmas twilight tour of the Biltmore Estate which was pretty neat! We ate at the Stable Cafe and did a little bit of shopping as well. Footage is all outside of the actual house as there is no photography allowed inside the house itself. I had a lot of fun riding that historic Otis elevator inside. I had ridden it in the daytime back in 2012 when we went to Biltmore with my Aunt Brenda & Uncle Wendell but I must say it was a lot more fun to ride it when it was dark outside as you notice the cab light more (or at least I did). For pictures of Biltmore we took both in 2012 and this year, you can click on this link that takes you to photo album on my FB page Biltmore Photo Album and for the Stable Cafe pictures, click here Stable Cafe Photo Album.

| We have filmed these before but never get tired of these historic elevators which are in Ripley's Believe it or Not. We had stopped by the Grove Park Inn to see the Gingerbread Houses and Christmas Trees over Thanksgiving Weekend. That video will be coming soon. I took the opportunity to ride the 2 historic chimney elevators again. These elevators are 100 years old and even though they don't have the original fixtures, they are still neat to ride :) These are maintained by Asheville Elevator Company which is a wonderful company, see Asheville Elevator Company Testimonials. To view more videos from Grove Park Inn, see my playlist which includes 2 room tours and other elevators at the resort. Grove Park Inn Playlist | 2013-12-03 21:59:19 |

Countdown to My 4th Anniversary on Youtube
| November 30th will mark my 4th Anniversary on YouTube. This video marks the countdown to a very special tour of a special hotel & believe it or not, it is not a Hampton although Hamptons are pretty special to me. :) This video shows the breakfast that the Inn @ Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, TN has. Some of the footage mom took, she went by a little too fast but it still shows what it was like. :) We stayed here for part of our fall break this past October. It was part of mom's present from dad back in June for their 24th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed in the Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus Suite which was pretty neat. Stay tuned for the hotel tour which will be coming up soon on Saturday's upload.... You can see the Pancake Maker mentioned in this video at this link Pancake Maker Video.

Mini Hotel Tour of the Hampton Inn in West Knoxville, TN
| This is a very nice Hampton. Thank you to the front desk staff for giving me the neat gifts. This Hampton was booked up at the time of our visit so we didn't get a room tour but the front desk staff did give us a key that would get us into the business, fitness centers. They have an outdoor pool which we showed from the window as it was kind of rainy off and on the day we visited. This Hampton has 2 buildings which the one building has the neat scenic Dover elevator which can be seen in the video at this link
West Knoxville Hampton Scenic Dover Elevator and then the main lobby elevators (ThyssenKrupp) are shown in this mini hotel tour video. For more info on this Hampton, check out their FB Page at Hampton Inn Knoxville Cedar Bluff | 2013-11-22 19:58:20 |

Otis Elevator at the River Place Inn Condos?
| Question mark is because we don't what condos or hotel this is as there was no name at all anywhere on the particular building. There was a building across the street that was on the parkway called River Place Inn Condos so this could be part of that or it could be another building of River Place Condos although it is basically on another lot of land. | 2013-11-17 00:50:17 |

Otis Elevator at the Riverside Tower in Pigeon Forge, TN
| I was going through my files today and saw this one at Riverside. I thought I had already uploaded this one for some reason but it was still in the need to upload file instead of already uploaded file so I did a search on my videos and didn't see it so I guess I was mistaken about thinking it was one I already uploaded. There are a lot of hotels in Pigeon Forge with the name River in them. :) | 2013-11-14 23:14:13 |

This is the same Hampton we stayed at back over the summer when we met up with Cannycart but not the same room we stayed in at that time. I won't be uploading the full hotel tour we did with Cannycart to YT as that is included as part of the exclusive footage on my school fund raiser DVD that is available on my website. | 2013-11-13 00:45:12 |

Old Dover or Otis Modded at River Edge Motor Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN
| I believe this used to be a Dover but has since been modded. There was no floor indicator except for the fixtures. This was the building right near Oak Square. We said we thought it was River Creek in the video but as we were pulling back onto the road, we took a picture of the sign and the hotel and it is called River Edge Motor Lodge.

Mini Tour of the Clarion Inn Willow River Sevierville, TN
| This is a neat place to explore. The hotel is made to resemble Tara in Gone with the Wind movie and as you will see in the video, they have a Rhett Butler & Scarlett O'Hara Fall Harvest display outside. You can check out my FB page for pictures that we took around the hotel. If they have a fitness center, we didn't find it. I believe the elevator is a Montgomery Kone.

Scenic Thyssenkrupp Elevators at Bass Pro Shop in Kodak, Tennessee
| This was a very neat Bass Pro Shops. We stopped here on our way back to Pigeon Forge from a day in Knoxville exploring the Hampton Inns. There is a very nice restaurant inside of this BPS called Uncle Buck's Grill which we decided to eat at as we were about to go looking for a good place to eat after this stop.

National Elevators at the Inn on the River in Pigeon Forge, TN
| This used to be a Hampton Inn on the River years ago. There are 2 buildings connected together by the pool area in the middle (it was that way when it was a Hampton too) and the 2nd elevator has more of a motor on it than the first one. We actually stayed here when it was a Hampton back when I was much younger. | 2013-10-25 05:29:54 |

Dover Elevator at River Lodge in Pigeon Forge, TN
| This is a semi glass elevator which has glass windows sections. Pretty neat Dover elevator. The door to the elevator is somewhat narrow. We believe this is the River Lodge in Pigeon Forge. Office is located off parkway then you drive across the back street from parkway to get to actual motel building where this elevator is located. | 2013-10-24 05:42:47 |
