SO sad to see all that beautiful architecture just rotting away! I love that skate rink its massive! The fountain was beautiful before the tags were painted on there, when R&K filmed this location there was no paint on the fountain!!
If you're looking to see more of this place, _Bright Sun Films_ did an excellent video rundown of the history of the Nevele Resort that's filled with more shots from all over the location. Apparently, there's a hotel on the property that's still operating, and they cannibalized some of the old resort's furnishings when it closed down. There's also some kind of telecommunications/cellular broadcast tower on top of the tower shown in this video that's still operating as well. If you're gonna check out _Bright Sun Films'_ Nevele Resort video, he recently released a commentary video about that video that goes into more depth on their experience at the place.
The original video (by Bright Sun Films) was shot a few years ago by this point. The resort has definitely gone to pot even more since they were there. Definitely an eye opener between the two. I watched the commentary a few weeks ago when it came out.
I saw that video when it came out and when I saw the lounging area with the fire pit in the middle right near the beginning, I instantly remembered the Bright Sun video. That guy is top notch!
Jake and his friends were already late in the game. I saw a video probably 6 years ago where the place was still pretty much untouched. Then people noticed it, got in and trashed it. Sadly the video got deleted...
All the equipment has already been utilized to make all the money it can make. In year 2,009 everything had been left in place just in case the owners could have made it into a casino. By 2014 everything had been sitting for 5 years. The owners probably had $100 million and it wasn't worth it to them to sort through the junk. ...or maybe the property and everything on it is owned by a bank that also doesn't give a rat's ass either.
The tours of abandon properties are probably among my top three favorite videos that you provide. I’m mystified how these places become abandon, why so many useful things are left behind, and why local governments don’t hold property owners accountable for deconstructing these dwellings. I see so many materials that had or have potential for use in other installations.
Exactly! Owners should be held responsible for doing something with all that's inside and the property itself. To see these places vandalized is really upsetting...to see them rotting away is twice as upsetting.
Hey man I just want to thank you for all your hard work, time, dedication it takes to get us this footage. I live for things that have been forgotten, hidden behind the hands of time. You can't help to think what it was like there. Only 10 years ago people were still actively going there and look how it looks so fast. I'm your neighbor here over in Cleveland, Ohio. There's an abandoned amusement park here I plan on going there in the next couple weeks.
a single kicked in door or window can make the most amazing difference of the buildings lifetime, as soon as moister and wind finds its way in it invades the place quick!
One thing about the gym also, there are no lines. This place in its time was really pretty and there were so many things to do. It would have been a great vacation place. I think the place with the nice fireplace and twin staircase and all the rooms is where the staff lived. The clothes are because they were called at home and told they no longer had jobs and they just left their stuff.
"It would be pretty cool having a wedding here....(quickly corrects himself) or to GO to a wedding here".....LOL. I literally LOL, Chris. You made sure not to give off any wrong signals to any of your fans or to give anyone the idea you were "wanting a wedding"....You are absolutely adorable! Loved the first scene with you hanging upside down trying to climb into that chair lift. I bet you cut away so your friend could give you a push up......and "lounging" by the pool with your hands behind your head. Love love love you and your videos!
@@sallyintucson Was just about to ask why so much stuff is so often just left to rot. As a swede this seemed so bizarre. One would think the lot would be auctioned out for highest bidder or something like it. Now I understand better, so thanks! :)
@@RosalitaComeOut During The Great Recession people walked away from huge brand new houses filled with new furniture and all their belongings. It was and is bizarre behavior to me.
You would think - only you don't know the thugs policies in NY. They can't just hang out in an abandoned place - their goal is to destroy & mangle every last single piece of the resort as possible. My old GF used to work here along with her friends back in the 80's & 90's.
Man that place must have been gorgeous in its day. The roof beams in the skating area, all those grand staircases and fireplaces, the suite with that "groovy" kitchen! Looked like you could fire up the snow cat and drive it around! You guys got your cardio in going up to the top floor! 😅
I'm no expert, but that range at 17:09 is really high-end. A little googling found an almost exact model of that same range- 1966, and the owner is using it and loving it. Apparently those things cost 700 bucks in 1966, which is like 5 grand today. If I didn't believe in "Take only pictures, leave only footprints" I'd try to haul that thing out of there and polish it up for my own kitchen.
That's one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen just custom glulams everywhere tons of beautiful wood it's almost like artwork too bad the building is going somebody should have saved this
After watching this video, I thought it looked familiar as the name rang a bell, but it wasn’t until I pulled up the old commercials from the 80’s that it really hit home. I vividly remember this place!! It was the jingle that really hit home! When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, this was THE place everyone went for ski trips and winter vacations! I cannot believe what’s happened to it! So sad. Crazy how quickly a place can just crumble!
Awesome video...Its amazing i was there almost 3 years ago and has gone downhill so fast...The building with the fireplace was the workers living spaces. Love the sledding lol
The Nevele was not primarily a ski resort. It was one of the old Jewish Borscht Belt hotels. All the larger hotels (Concord, Grossinger's, Kutsher's etc) competed with each other as to size and number of amenities offered to guests. If you notice the size of the ski hill (yes, just one) it's pretty much a bunny slope and was not meant to attract "real" skiers. The whole area is filled with history and this is how all the hotels ended up. Honor's Haven, the operating resort behind the Nevele was the old Fallsview hotel. On the bright side, the Nevele just got funding for a complete renovation and is slated to re-open as the Grande Nevele Resort in late 2022. Hard to believe.
I imagine it was a wonderful place to visit back before forced multiculturalism and diversity. I wish I could have seen this country in the first half of the 1900s.
This video had something different about it... something magical. You were so cheerful in your narration as well. It was fun, it may be my new favorite vid from you. Thanks for taking us along to see the place!
I read that this resort opened in 1901, then started adding on in the 20's and 30's..then greatly expanded in the 50s and 60s.Would of loved to have seen this place, back in its hay day!! sad to see it like this..I wonder if those apartments at the end, were rented out to people who worked there?
The tower building was not that elegant, although the newest. I imagine the last rooms seen, with adjoining kitchens, were for employees. It would be to far away to drive every day to work, and to much snow. Great video guys.
Yeah, I was thinking management apartments. Housemaids would likely get a smaller room. Those were the days when they planned for housing employees. Not anymore.
Why do people have to vandalize? What type of thrill is there in destroying and spray painting? Exploring these places would be much better if they were left in the condition they were left in. Awesome video!!
"Why do people have to vandalize?" 1) Some people like to break shit when they can get away with it. 2) A group might have some financial incentive to ensure that the resort never reopens.
After years of security work I believe people who feel powerless resort to acts of what they see as power. The less power you have the more likely you respond to inanimate objects as less danger to self. One notch up are people who wander in traffic. Just a little show of power in their minds.
Hey atleast some not all graphite is artistic vandalism. But some people are quite good at it. We associate it with crime or vandalism because where these tags are located. Artists pick these areas because they are abandoned but still seen. Most graphite artists are just that artists. But I agree tagging someone's property is illegal and i agree I look at graphite as vandalism however it gives color to something in the shadows
I totally agree. Worse than the spray paint I think is just the outright destruction and breaking of things. It would be nice to see the natural decay of abandoned locations without the vandalism.
11:49 was likely the employees section. Most resorts are seasonal and a lot of employees are from away, so they stay on site. The "hall bathroom" was probably a community bathroom for them. No need to renovate that section if its for the working stiffs. 20:40 is likely permanent residents for the caretakers, year around. It Nevele wasnt just a ski lodge, but a country club as well.
Musta closed down overnight. I'm glad I found your channel. My old house still isn't as bad as these places. Looks like the plow is still being used. Appears to be in good condition.
Love your tongue in cheek comments..I was there a few years ago but only hot as far as the entrance. I think the buildings are alarmed. It was so delightfully eerie. Luv ya Chris!
Great video... I LOVE seeing the old resorts, it's such a shame these one time beautiful establishments are left to just deteriorate. My theory is the rooms with shared kitchens could possibly be "apartments" for the staff??? That would also explain the personal "touches" LOL... makes you wonder why they would leave certain items behind...
I started skiing around age 12 or 13, it was 1978 ish and I remember smaller places like this in western NY. I can see this place in my mind's eye just exactly as it would have been back in the eighties. I would have loved to ski here. We ski'd at Holiday Valley NY before it found out what it was and got popular.
I can't believe some of the stuff that was there starting with the ski boots and skis, ice skates, aluminum ladder to the wardrobes and vintage headboard from the master bedroom. Some of those kitchen cupboards were like mine. Time for an upgrade I guess. Thanks for showing all this stuff and climbing all those flights of stairs. I'm glad you didn't take the elevator.
Wow that place would have been awesome when it was open it’s too bad they don’t revive it into some sort of resort. It’s also sad people have vandalized the property.
Getting flipped off meams something totally different at the end of this vid! That was so sad to see. It must have been quite the place once. Stay safe and healthy out there! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
JPVideos did a couple videos here and even back then, those buildings were scheduled for demolition. It's really neat to see how it changes and different perspectives of that once beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!
11:46 Not 1940s-50s. More like 1920s-30s. Some parts were modernized a lot, but this place is old. Even in the modernized parts, the walls are still lath and plaster. Which indicates it's old. The oldest reference I could find to the place in newspaper archives was from 1939. That was for the Nevele Country Club and Hotel.
Ths is one of, if not, the best channels on youtube. You do an amazing job. And this video made us so sad this nice business run to ruins like this. I wish they could have reopened it repurposed this.
It must have been beautiful when it was fully operational! It is pretty enough that I could see/concede to a winter wedding. Hell, you could honeymoon there too! Though I'd pass on the downhill skiing, I always end up injured enough for medical help. Dying on my wedding day would not be cool.
I've seen this resort explored by several other urban explorers but yours is by far the best! The narration was hilarious... especially at the restaurant where they "specialize in dieting here!" 😂🤣
I think that the rooms you looked at first that were small and had the old hardware and the seventies carpet were probably where the staff stayed for the season. There would have had to been someone there at all times. I think the live in seasonal staff stayed there. What a grand place though. I was really impressed by the marble on the walls. The "suite" you came across in the tower was the Penthouse.
This reminds me of my home mountain, 80’s lifts and all. I hope my home mountain makes it despite covid and changing temperatures for the area & less snow.
The Proper People and Bright Sun Films both covered this place a little while ago, it's interesting to see a place change over time as other people explore it, and how quickly things deteriorate...
I recognized the resort right away because I've seen a video of it before... however your touch and style made this one more entertaining! Thsnks Chris 😀
Another awesome adventure Chris. I never miss any of your uploads. Better than anything television has to offer. Keep on truck in’ my friend and I will keep upvoting. ❤️☮️👍
When I watch your videos I feel a strange mixture of sadness (at the loss of someone's grab at the American Dream), regret (at the fact that so much has been lost and wasted--that marble is one of the items I am thinking could be recycled, and all those snow boots that could have been donated to poor people) and finally, remorse. The remorse I feel is for all the people who made trips to the places you highlight, and who look back on those places with fond memories of good times, but who see it now as nothing more than cast-off memories better days. So, all in all I guess your vids make me feel melancholy.
@Dan Cooper Before you criticize someone, you might want to do a bit of research. This is the American Heritage Dictionary. remorse n. Moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret. synonym: penitence. n. Compassion. Compassion is what I was feeling. So, my word choice was, as usual for an English Major, perfect. Thanks for playing though.
There are several abandoned resorts in the area that you are in. It would be interesting to show and compare . Many are abandoned due to the interest in traveling to Europe.
I'm 58 now and I remember the commercials on T.V. back in my early teens (70's) for "The Nevele"!! Back then it was the GO TO place for skiers in the winter. Sad to see it go but after all this time, guess it's too expensive to keep it up to code. My thought, the first set of rooms you came across (with the old 60's style knobs and such) as well as the rooms you came across on the 9th floor of the tower were living quarters for the staff.
Power was on in the round building where President Johnson stayed overnight. There is also a Zamboni machine. Careful in the basement, if the power is buzzing.
Love your sense of humor. “enjoying that cool crisp air that comes from the open ceiling design here”
SO sad to see all that beautiful architecture just rotting away! I love that skate rink its massive! The fountain was beautiful before the tags were painted on there, when R&K filmed this location there was no paint on the fountain!!

Thanks for the information, I just found this love old abandoned places, 💓
You know all that skiing and ice skating equipment isn't cheap. I can't believe that stuff got left behind instead of sold off.
Right like wtf? They could still sell it and why did they let the building get destroyed?
I visited there, and the good stuff in working condition is all gone. All that's left is skis that have parts missing, or broken.
@@TheBinoyVudi What about the marble details and tiles.
All the equipment has already been utilized to make all the money it can make. In year 2,009 everything had been left in place just in case the owners could have made it into a casino.

I like how you add in old pics of the place when in it's prime. Interesting.
I'm amazed at how decayed the inside of the buildings are only after 10 years of being shut down
Water damage will destroy.
a single kicked in door or window can make the most amazing difference of the buildings lifetime, as soon as moister and wind finds its way in it invades the place quick!
It's gotten worse!!!!
@@conservativehippie9736 Have you visited lately ? Say after this boring ass narrator with the go-pro ?

Not if you file bankruptcy. A bank probably owns the property now and they’re not going to spend a dime or lift a finger if not forced to.

Looks like too much work to even consider.
Might as well bulldoze everything at this point and start a new build.
@@Ghostrider-71 yeah because America doesn't value the old buildings. We just keep destroying stuff and then paving over wild habitats. Snark

At one time this was such a magical place. I recall those Pocono days. Nice addition to your adventures. Try skytop next.
Seeing places like this just sitting there and becoming destroyed pisses me off when we have so many homeless in the world!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back in the day...this was an amazing resort. Once upon a time this whole area was filled with wonderful places.

That's what I thought lodging for employees
I'm more inclined to think VIP parties.
*TOO !!!!
Yeah, I was thinking management apartments. Housemaids would likely get a smaller room. Those were the days when they planned for housing employees. Not anymore.
Why do people have to vandalize?
What type of thrill is there in destroying and spray painting?

That's actually a late 50's/early 60's kitchen. That would've been top-of-the-line stuff back then... pretty amazing.
Wow that place would have been awesome when it was open it’s too bad they don’t revive it into some sort of resort. It’s also sad people have vandalized the property.
Thank you, Chris, for once again making my day.

The 80's jingle in their commercial is forever imbedded in my head "At the Nevele..at the Neveleeee"
Great explore really enjoyed this one 👍
What a Shame that this has gone to rot. Very sad, I wonder why this happened?
Thanks for the tour, Chris
I love your advertisement method it got me convinced to vocation there. Lol.
This reminds me of my home mountain, 80’s lifts and all. I hope my home mountain makes it despite covid and changing temperatures for the area & less snow.

I read that the closing was unannounced so basically like you said. "Hey everybody... we're closed." New the snowcat would have sold for over $200k
I recognized the resort right away because I've seen a video of it before... however your touch and style made this one more entertaining! Thsnks Chris 😀
Another great video!!
Another awesome adventure Chris. I never miss any of your uploads. Better than anything television has to offer. Keep on truck in’ my friend and I will keep upvoting. ❤️☮️👍
thank you for bringing us along! very interesting so much would be left behind!
This is truly fascinating. Thank you.
When I watch your videos I feel a strange mixture of sadness (at the loss of someone's grab at the American Dream), regret (at the fact that so much has been lost and wasted--that marble is one of the items I am thinking could be recycled, and all those snow boots that could have been donated to poor people) and finally, remorse. The remorse I feel is for all the people who made trips to the places you highlight, and who look back on those places with fond memories of good times, but who see it now as nothing more than cast-off memories better days. So, all in all I guess your vids make me feel melancholy.
@Dan Cooper Before you criticize someone, you might want to do a bit of research. This is the American Heritage Dictionary. remorse
n. Moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret. synonym: penitence.
n. Compassion. Compassion is what I was feeling. So, my word choice was, as usual for an English Major, perfect. Thanks for playing though.
@@WilAdams As an English major, how are things going at McDonald's?
Ski boots for poor people. lovely
That was a really good video. Thanks Chris.
This was cool thanks for showing!
Really good, laid back approach to your style. Love it.
There are several abandoned resorts in the area that you are in. It would be interesting to show and compare . Many are abandoned due to the interest in traveling to Europe.
One of the best urbexers on YT. Well done!
I cant say enough about your videos Chris! Your humor is great 😆Your knowledge is well researched. You, my friend, are simply the best!!!✊🏻💙🌟🤟🏻
So cool! I love the style of the stage.
I'm 58 now and I remember the commercials on T.V. back in my early teens (70's) for "The Nevele"!! Back then it was the GO TO place for skiers in the winter. Sad to see it go but after all this time, guess it's too expensive to keep it up to code. My thought, the first set of rooms you came across (with the old 60's style knobs and such) as well as the rooms you came across on the 9th floor of the tower were living quarters for the staff.
Loving your sense of humor in this video! :)
Love your videos - keep up the good work
I just heard about this place last week , cool place
Chris, you are such a gracious tour guide. Haha.
@ 19:05 that building is the staff apartments for the resort. As I have see many videos for this place.
You, Sir, are a funny man! Great video!
2009 was not that long ago. So it’s amazing to see how much has been destroyed in a short time.
this place must've been so cool...also, I saw the number 98 like a thousand times.
Awesome episode, really interesting 👍👌 I’ll read about too .
Looks like it would have been a awesome place to visit back when it was in operation
Wow, that's an amazing place. Thanks for the adventure 😃👍
LOVE your videos!
Power was on in the round building where President Johnson stayed overnight. There is also a Zamboni machine. Careful in the basement, if the power is buzzing.
used to stay there when my dad had knights of columbus events there as a kid
