    My wife and I honeymooned there in 1994. We played mini-golf in that room. We swam in that pool. We ate in the dining room, huge portions of mediocre food. As the only people in the nightclub watching the band I yelled Freebird and they played it. It was so bad that it was good. We had a great kitschy time.

    Wow, just wow. I can just picture the lounge acts of the 1970s in that hidden gem. Great content! :)

    Wow. Stayed there in 1979 honeymoon. At the time was decent and affordable. Lots of great memories. What a shame, time marches on and you either keep up with it or fall behind.

    I live right by tannersville and i used to come here all the time for years back when the whole place was untouched. None of the windows were broken and it wasn't trashed like that. It's nearly impossible to get in now because of the security. Last time I went I got stopped by the police. They're tearing the whole place down and building a hospital.

    A lot of resorts have closed in the Mid Atlantic states since the 1970s when the post-Vietnam war economy hit the brakes. This also coincided with just resort vacationing falling out of fashion. During the filming of Dirty Dancing in 1985, none of the NYS resorts where the events originally took place were open and when Great American Films tried to get at least one of them open for production, they were in this condition. So Dirty Dancing was filmed in Virginia and North Carolina.

    besides just being really dirty, and messy that place could be saved with some TLC

    • @Mouse2113
      @Mouse2113 Před 6 lety +1

      To be honest, I think some of the design has come full circle from fashionable to extremely dated to some of it probably looking modern again. I think the design of the lobby area is pretty cool

      It's still full of cum and pubes, a group did a study here a while back, found 2 types of STDs there, yuck

  • @crystalscan2002
    @crystalscan2002 Před 6 lety +4

    the lobby still has power the dangling lights use to light up but i guess the bulbs burn out look for slightly older videos

    Awesome video, I love this place soooo vintage!!! But you also shout have shoot some of the rooms/ villas there, this rooms looks so 70s.

    Also, Birchwood is a resort close to this one. That one is really really cool but they have a security guard with a rifle. I was chased out by him so I vowed to never go in these buildings again lol.

    Back in its hey day, I bet the owners thought it would still be around in a hundred years. So sad a place that used to flow with money and life now lays in ruin slowly being reclaimed by nature. The water getting in has done far more damage than the vandals. Is this the one that had the fire.

    Dan isnt the only one allowed to explore and document these places. Just stupid saying hes copying Dan.smh

  • @stevebirks2186
    @stevebirks2186 Před 5 lety

    The door you go through at 4-31 is the door that opened on Dan Bell -in his video ! - On the first video I watched about this place - It's a damn shame that the people watch these great vids - (Well some great some not !) - But instead of going in looking around and filming - You get others who like to go in maybe after watching these videos and steal+thieve - Smash everything up !-
    Look at Dan Bells vid of the Summit resort store (around 4-31) it was still partley stocked up ? All the windows were still intact (published 25 Sept 2015) Your video is published 27 Sept 2017 - 2 years neary to the day and all this damage has been done ? It's just crazy !

    Great video and explore Would love to see it in person but I hear this is one of the most risky ones to visit at they do or did have an armed guard. If I recall this is the one where he has a room he stays in. Man this place has really gotten trashed in the last few years

  • @LittleJimmyNorton
    @LittleJimmyNorton Před 6 lety +1

    Went to check it out in 2001 for a get away. We decided not to stay there it was very dated. Come to find out years later, that it was known to be a big swingers resort. Every night ( sometimes during broad daylight)there were orgies/gangbangs u name it going on and pretty much everyone was invited, word would get out on which rooms were partying and there would be up to 20-30 people naked and having sex in one room! NO BS, I actually met someone who regularly went there back in the day. I wonder if that kind of partying goes on in the poconos these days?

    Next, you should do a series of video where you check into dirty hotel rooms and document how dirty they are.
