- ►Return Visit: • Why Is The Abandoned N...
The Nevele Resort is unique compared to the other Catskill resorts. What sets it apart from the rest is not only its duration, but what type of guests it catered to. Destined as a Winter getaway resort, this place had something for everyone. This is also by far one of the largest resorts i've ever filmed. This resort is set to be demolished to make way for a brand NEW resort. We spent over 4hrs here and guarantee that this is the best documented video of the Nevele Resort. So join myself and Mike from Good Day For Decay as we show you whats left of this Grand Resort. Enjoy

2021 update. With plans falling though the cracks, the demolition of the resort never took place. The resort still stands as of March 2021 and people have been there regularly without any issues. Cameras were removed and future plans are unknown at this point.
dang, I wanted to go here lol
I have always wondered if that was true, I have yet to see one active or even non active CCTV set up any where you went through, unless it was set up after your shoot there, I would believe more it was a neighbor in the hills over looking the place and dropping a dime when he notices activity at the resort, I would not think the State Police have a direct video feed coming into there command, the state police are very busy I can't see they would have a lot of time to baby sit that place, and I can't see the state of NY allocating funds for OT to patrol that area, state POLICE don't patrol neighbor hoods, they are up and down the state roads giving out moving violations, there is no revenue to be gained by going out to the resort, other then Trespassing fines, so unless someone drops a dime on URBX that's the only way, there is nothing there to steel really the only thing they would be concerned about is arson.
@@jm1551701 could be just local police there too right? Or do they not have local police there. I'm sure people do call the cops if they see anyone there and it looked like theres some sort of spa thing right next door
Looks like an albino spider, in frozen condition that is.
If this building is in a small town in the Catskills, most smaller towns rely on the county sheriff, or the state police.
At least that's what many of the small communities in the other parts of the state of New York do..
I love the way you take your time to show all the interesting parts and leave the empty rooms and blank spaces, better than a 15 minutes shaky footage by some nugget who is best served doing something else. Cheers JP
Haha, thanks for the compliment.
Yeah I Know, Right?!!?.... like that giant kitchen! He went slow enough that I could actually see everything & see most of the setup in my head as he was going....& see the hustle and bustle of the kitchen on a busy Sunday brunch! I could see all the grills and the all the huge stations where all the food was being setup. The giant pizza looking oven! I bet it was a kewl place to work as a young person.
Oh my gosh. My Mom took me and my little brother here in 1987, 88 and 89. We always had a total blast, no matter what I'll always have wonderful memoirs of my time there.
Wow. That commercial takes me back.
Thanks again for the great video I find your work so professional Compared to the other young explorers With their prop photos Shaky cameras and go too fast we can't even see anything You're the best I only watch yours now Thank you :)
Aww thank you sandra. That means a lot.
I'd have to second Sandra's statement. It's nice just to have you go through stuff with more explanation, background info, close up inspection of items, time spent in different places/areas to showcase details. I appreciate the work you do to show us these places.
@@jamierick79 ty
I totally agree! every so often one will catch my eye though & I'm always disappointed for all the reasons you've mentioned. So I always tell them to watch JPVideos to learn how to do it properly.
Pastry Chef/baker here! The "Fortuna" you found in the kitchen area is a dough divider. You put a round of dough in, pull the lever down and it equally divides it into smaller bun-sized pieces.
A few others mentioned that as well. Thanks for sharing.
Around the 16:32 mark, he actually says "What are the chances, that there would be a tennis ball?"
Well considering your location.....I'd say the chances are really good! Bravo on the vid!
😁
It looks as though they marked where they would demo and keep the stuff, materials that are valued at this point. The hotl probably needed to go. Thanks for showing!!!
Thanks for watching
Hej! That press you asked what is is, ( I think) is a bunpress =) You put a plate of doug under and it presses down and spins around and out comes breakfastbuns ready for oven. I love watch abandoned places. Thank you!
This video is well done. Seeing this is saddening and sweet at the same time..So many memories made. Urbex definitely makes you call in to question your life and what you have done with it...and what is to come after... On another note: THE OWNERS SHOULD HOLD AN ONLINE AUCTION/SALE OF SIMPLE ITEMS...PEOPLE WOULD BUY IN A HEARTBEAT...MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS AND PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM IF THEY CAN NEVER VISIT AGAIN....🌲🌳🍂🍁🍃🍃
Ty for watching
@@JPVideos81 your welcome much!;)
Really enjoyed this video. Such a shame how this place has ended up. The before photos looked amazing.
Thanks
nice thing about dumbwaiters: They can bring your food up several floors and never ask for a tip!
Loved the length of this and the information on the resort 😄
Thanks tracey
I live in Pulaski NY. Very sad that these places have to close...
This was amazing video. Thank you so much.
I went through the Catskill mountains and got the drunken affect. The altitude affected me real bad. A lad at a gas station was laughing at me.
Oh no
i just read its back up for sale again
Awesome, I love abandoned places. Glad I found you! Could you please tell me what is the music played?
I found it in the youtube library
Listen up JPVideos..... you have totally spoiled everything else those junk punk pushers show.... i am still shaking my head in awe... your commentary, professionalism, montage at the end and hell ya even music selection... you deserve some sort of award!!! well done brother!!
Thanks so much!
@@JPVideos81 yeah, you did a good job on this one buddy.
@@JPVideos81 Whats the music? Love it
Thea, ever date a bartender from Brass Candle in Goshen ?
Ride on his custom Harley through Pennsylvania?
Its me, I never EVER forgot you ♥️♥️♥️ you probably won't see this as TH-cam deletes my comments. They HATE ALPHA MALES WHO TELL THE TRUTH. I bet you're still BEAUTIFUL!
@@t.s.racing of course I am beautiful, however I am not the Thea you are referring to :-( Wish I were!
As a kid my grandparents took me here to vacation. Went every year from the mid 70's to mid 80's. I spent a lot of time ice skating there. It was awesome. We used to go to the Falls View as well. Thanks for bringing back so many memories!!
Thanks for watching
Back in the day when the NEVELE was flourishing, so was Mt. Cathalia, and they had some serious slopes for skiing. Later after they closed we raced MOTOCROSS there, but like most of the good recreational activities in New York, the DEMOCRATS forced closure through the astronomical taxes. So remember this when you vote.
So much of the architectural stuff, like that incredible wall sculpture and the stage overhang should be removed and put in the new building as an homage to the original legacy. Not to mention the marble mosaic on the floor, and all of the remaining vintage light fixtures.
Thank you for this...I am from liberty ny and I worked for an agency and we used to have our holiday party here right up until 2009 when they closed ...I got to grow up in Sullivan county with the grossingers resort ..the pines ..the Raleigh ....I love my home town....I got a chance to grow up in the best place on Earth.. unfortunately ...these resort areas are what made Sullivan and ulster county's great and once they closed the decline of work and buissness fit the area also declined and unfortunately these counties are barely hanging on...I miss the old days when I was little and everything here seemed larger than life...😟😢
Thats awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing lisa
I know your area well, used to go through Liberty on our way to Frost Valley. I haven't been back in 30 years. It's so beautiful there. I miss it, even though I live in California, which has its own beauty.
@@TraceyRolandelli A few days ago I drove from Liberty to Albany thru frost valley. Was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken. My GPS said 2700', a part of the route is the highest public road in NYS. Liberty looks pretty pathetic though with Browns and Grossingers Gone. I remember those great hotels as a kid.
I worked for the sullivan county democrat news paper and got see all these places in their heyday! I lived in Sullivan county for 20+ years and enjoyed these places for many years! They used to laugh at the resort i lived closest to and worked at in my younger days! The villa roma
@@herbhall3830 Meanwhile it still lives!
Fortuna~ you put a large round piece of Dough & it divides it into even number & size
Dinner Rolls for baking
The best part of the quarantine is that I can finally watch all of JP’s videos!
Winning!
Amen
As of March 24 2019 the resort is still there
Thats my Bday lol
I have to tell you, I am about halfway through this video, and I'm having a very hard time watching it. I grew up at The Nevele, it was my home away from home, my father was the golf pro there for over 40 years. I know every inch of that place like the back of my hand, and this is probably one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Even though, I did go up there myself about 3 years ago, just seeing it in this video format, is completely jarring, and to know that they're going to be blowing up, and destroying some of those buildings is truly heartbreaking to me. Thank you for sharing this. ☹💔
Atleast you still have your memories. Thanks for watching.
Jacqueline Mennella I’ve never even been there and feel so sad...can’t imagine how heartbreaking it is for you. The fact that we let things like this get to this point and then just destroy them is unbelievable.😔
Oceanmoonbelle, it really is terribly heartbreaking, thanks for recognizing that 💔❤
Jacqueline Mennella horrible how we are a throw away society.
I had the same experience as you with growing up just outside of Nashville, TN with the Opryland Resort. We went every summer when I was a kid, then all us teenagers had "Good Time Passes" that we could use everyday from 5:00 PM to close. We went 5 times a week minimum. Then in high school, bunches of us worked there. ,Right after graduation in 189, they didn't open one summer, said they were remodeling. Then Gannett Corp. bought it, dismantled the rides, closed it down. No explanations. Worse mistake that company ever made, horrible for Nashville, defeating for us that grew up there. I kid you not, it's a damn Mall now! Like Nashville don't have about 8 other malls. I watched a documentary about it a few months ago, and cried through most of it ( I'm 53 now). It was like your childhood home was torn down and there was a gas station there now.
I would like to thank you for this beautiful video. What you thought was a theater was called the Stardust Room where they had the shows. You had a before picture of the Stardust Room with a man standing on the stage. The man standing was the MC, band leader and the entertainment director. That was also my dad, Art Kahn who worked their 40+ years. The building you went into after the Towers was the original main building a
Oh wow, thanks for sharing
So cool
The stardust room was the theater at Kutchers
And then after "retiring", owning and operating every freakin' vending machine on the hotel circuit. Artie was one of the friendliest easy-going guys around; always with a smile and a wave from his handful of keys. I'd sit and also chat with your Mom(?) aunt(?) about how your uncle was really starting to get "off the ground" with his career. Memories! Thanks!
I’ve been studying the neveles fire protection for months and I still have no idea what it is, very rare equipment there at the nevele. Unfortunate to see it rot and sit. Quite unique, really.
Edit: It's an autocall CD-NA fire alarm system.
I love your videos of abandoned places! I can’t stand many of the “young adults” that do it. I hate when they stage things. How stupid. It’s great that you document it and leave everything as is.
I feel the same way
I agree! I never felt that they staged things, but something about the way that they film things makes their videos terrible for me. I think JP actually focuses on the actually interesting/beautiful parts of the houses and has commentary that isn't just inane drivel
Oh me too. You can pretty much always tell when they're staging things and creating drama, it's so annoying. These places don't need any staged drama, they are beautifully dramatic and emotional all on their own. I've watched this one 3 times already and here I am watching it again lol. JPVideos is one of my favorite channels for abandoned exploration. He keeps it real and is always extremely respectful and I appreciate that so much 🤗
I don't know about anyone else, but I could have watched this explore for hours. Fascinating. I always wonder why so much personal stuff gets left behind though?
Always lots of unanswered questions, but im glad you enjoyed it.
This place is very cool. Too bad they have plans to tear it down soon.
I’ve read where the two guys that bought the place in 1997, abruptly shut down the place with no notice, after the 4th of July weekend in 2009. So, sounds like a lot of people couldn’t come get their belongings.
I was there in late summer of 2002 with the mural at 33.36. I have a photo of it and now feel like I was on the Titanic before it sank
Wayne, how was it in 2002?
@@tenderpawsm473 It was like stepping back in time to1965.
I was born in Ellenville in 1924. I left Ellenville in October, 1949, after the "sizon". We had a small hotel (summer resort), which what all the hotels were, including the big ones. I graduated from Ellenville High School in 1941. I served in World War II for three years. I also ran our hotel after
the war. My brother did before the war. My father was a dairy and chicken farmer ten months of the year. Our resort season was from July 4th to Labor Day. Our hotel was located about 1/2 mile from the Fallsview and Nevele. Joe and Lillian Slutsky who originally owned the Nevele were friends of my parents. The came to my Bar Mitzvah. I have many fond memories of the summers in Ellenville and the terrble winters. In those days, there were no commercial winter sports. Incidentally, we were in the Shawangunk range of the Catskill mountains. What you show here is after my time. I lived through the early years. They were great years.
Thanks for sharing Irvin. Helps put these videos in perspective.
thank you for sharing your stories, Irvin! thank you for your service. You have lived an interesting and full life
All of these videos I have seen are just freaking me out! I I've been to somewhere places but these are just I don't know how to describe what I am witnessing. I cannot believe people left everything behind in beautiful places with no one to care for them and just let them decay with some of them still left with electricity, that's some crazy s***. I'm hooked I am totally going to watch you guys I can't believe people just took off and left all of that behind they must have been arrested and or like the one video shows with fingerprints must have been a murderer or something but they are really really freaking me out especially the elephant chairs and the iron suit I just can't believe no one has taken anything from there. I really honor you guys for not ripping them off as a lot of people would have.
Thank you for your service, Irvin! What a treat to hear of your memories! Thank you for sharing! I met a contractor here in the Catskills with that surname, I'll bet he's got connections to the Nevele! Will ask him. Would love to hear more stories about ut
@51:35 Did anyone else *jump outta their skin* when all the printing sounds and phone ringers went off??
I’ve been on edge ever since he said he heard voices and loud bangs LOL!
@1:22:29 “thought I heard something” - You see! That’s why I watch these videos and not make them! I’ve nearly jumped at least 5 different times ever since you *HEARD* voices and banging! Now I’m wrecked for the night. I’ll be jumping at every little ping, beep or small noise my puppy makes.
••• NOTE ••• I’m a new subscriber and just *LOVE* your videos. I love how you don’t rush through the houses. Also, I love how you speak as if you are talking directly to me.
Yeah why did the phones start ringing and the Machine start working who turned them on was it a joke or did a ghost do it
But his friend didn't hear anything only we did it's like only certain types of people can hear ghosts and others cannot
I heard it loud and clear. I thought it was something he had put in as a background noise bc he had just mentioned how the room must have been bustling with phones and faxes.
Has anyone figured out yet why the printers were printing and the phones were ringing, and who turned on the power for that room?
Heard the ring for sure. Came to the comment section to comment about it. Weird
New subbie here! I've watched a few of your videos & I have to say, I love that you take your time and show just about everything! I love that you include history too! It's such a shame that this place was let go, sure looks like it was an awesome place to visit.
Thanks for everything you do! Love & hugs from Texas!
Thanks leah. Check my abandoned remains playlist to see the rest of my videos.
This was an amazing explore of this abandoned vacation complex. The penthouse, although grand in size, surprised me when I saw the typical home owner type of kitchen(nothing special) especially because most of the other areas of the resort seemed to be fairly modern and extravagant . I've never seen so much wallpaper as was in some of the employee's quarters rooms; not only the walls but also the ceilings, closet doors, everywhere lol. I was for some reason intrigued by the pair of shoes at the top of the basement stairs in the same building. And the microwave in the bathroom. Imaging myself saying something like, "I'll be right back, i have to go get my dinner from the bathroom," made me laugh. All the ski and skating items left behind was a shame, they could have sold it or even donated it to schools that have cross country and ski clubs. I grew up way out on eastern long island in new York and we had a cross country and ski club during the winter months.
Your undertaking is heartily appreciated. Your reverence for these historic sites is admirable. Truly amazing. Thank you very much for your dedication.
Thanks for the great comment.
well iam new to you guys and i just did subscribed to your youtubers channels and the nevele resort was on thursday may 9th 1980 which is 42 years ago from today this year of 2022 or maybe even longer than that of this hotel
So much valuable/reclaimable stuff that they are just gonna blow up...maddness! Such a shame. Really go me thinking about able how effective capitalism is a resource-allocation system. I would have take all that stainless steel for a start off. And the ski equipment!
Very sad. More than likely, they allowed it to go into foreclosure. The banks aren't set up to sell any product anymore, like they used to be when they did their own repos. Now the foreclosures are sold as is. The new owner could sell the stuff, and probably will sell it in lots. They may even allow salvage companies to come in and take what they can for an agreed amount. It's a real shame that so much was lost to the elements, and more importantly, the history of the place.
Thanks JP for another great one. I like the detail and patients you gave in making this documentary. The camera work was so much better then some of the videos others have made. Thanks again, I really enjoyed watching it.
I love the longer videos. Wish I was there. So many interesting things to poke around.
I could of easily spent all day here. Theres a few buildings we missed due to the time.
I'm the opposite. I'd rather watch three 20 minute videos than one that's three times as long. To me 25 minutes or so is the perfect length for a single video.
I second Susan's comment. In the shorter videos I feel like things are rushed, missed, or just bypassed to save time. This allows you time to look, view, inspect things.
@@JPVideos81 Great video, Prob one of the best Urbex type Amazing place that was without littered with graffitti, Lost in time for sure
I recall my family and I ( well I was just a kid at the time) staying here in the late 70's / early 80's. Oh the food....endless amounts of delicious food! I have some footage (taken from film transferred to dvd ) of the family riding on the toboggan. :)
Save that video!
We went there 87, 88 and 89. Winter and summer. Wonderful memories.
I would vacation here every year with my family before I could remember. It was like a second home to me, so sad when it closed. My family still talks to employees and we visit them all the time. At the Nevele
Thats awesome, thanks for sharing.
Amazing video. I am really surprised vandals/thieves haven't taken a lot of things. Those skis are worth money.
I saw so many Rossignol skis, I started drooling. 🤤 you can make a nice ski bench with stuff like this. Unbelievable they want to just tear this history down.
Wow! This place looks great. Bet it was amazing!! Really enjoyed the last resort in the Catskills u did. Putting the kids to bed in a lil bit so gonna have to catch up with the video later on. Thanks😀👏
Funny, the indoor pools were bone dry, the rest of the buildings not so much 😂
We spent two weeks in 1985 and 1988. Both was fantastic. Truly appreciate your video. Nothing last forever.. Most had lots of enjoyment. Thank you
You're welcome
I’m surprised that all that ski equipment wasn’t stolen over time.
Born in Ellenville, I used to walk a back trail to the Fallsview and Nevele and the falls. I used to work the ski slope and hang in the Chalet. I could tell stories about the resort nobody knows about from personal knowledge. Thanks for showing this once thriving and glorious resort.
Small world. I lived about a mile from the Nevele on Nevins St back in 86-87 before moving to Wappingers Falls. Spent many days sitting around that fire pit as a teen. Oh the memories ;)
@@FuKnOveRkiLL I grew up on Maple Ave, The Elementary end. I spent quite a lot of time there and the Fallsview, Fishing the ponds, lake and streams. Would collect stray golf balls and sell them back for practice ones. I have the fond memories of taking the back dirt path.
We used to go to the Concord, Kutchers, and once to the Nevele. The Nevele had the best ice rink but the worst food. Kutchers, had the best food and service. It is sad to see what has happened. I didn’t watch the whole video but, President Johnson did have a conference with his Russian counterpart under where the ice rink was. There used to be a place saying so.
Another great video!! You are the best at this the time you take the explaining you do makes it so enjoyable to watch. Those others can't hold a candle to you. Looking forward to more great explores
Thanks so much eileen
All that wasted material. SMH Just think how many counters that marble alone could make. But hey, let's just blast it instead of recycling because our world is disposable...
I wish they would open up the buildings and let people reclaim a lot of the items that could be used again, especially the marble.
Agreed!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. It’s heartbreaking! I would love to reclaim a lot of the items.
Yes! If it's going to be destroyed anyway, why not salvage some things.
First time watcher and I'm totally loving it. It's great having a longer video with more insight. I follow a few explorers and their videos are good but a lot shorter and you feel like they have missed out loads. Great pictures of what it looked like before.
Thanks
Reminds me of the place in the movie Dirty Dancing
Kelley Colvin yes yes that’s exactly what I thought
It should. It was set in the Catskills (though not filmed there) and was based on a person the screenwriter met at, I believe, Grossinger's another big resort that was in the area.
😁🤜
Yes Kelly, and yes Paul Carr. The movie's treatment was inspired by the writer's experiences and observations working a summer "in the mountains" at a hotel in the Catskills. Grossinger's was the dynamic for the fictional "Kellerman's"; a family owned Catskill resort in decline. Actually "The Concord" on Lake Kiamesha, more closely
met all the visual criteria found in the movie. In reality, principle scenes of "Kellerman's" were shot in Virginia, at a place called the Mountain Lake Lodge. The key "Dirty" dancing and sexy water scenes were shot on Lake Lure (N. Carolina) at an abandoned summer camp. Damn shame no Catskill locations could be used. Even in the mid-80's, most Sullivan/Ulster locations were too derelict.
Me too
I was pleased to hear that the Pisten Bully snow groomer was purchased by Holiday Mountain (off rte. 17). Good to know it will be refurbished and used. !
Sadly there is nothing like that anymore, they just want to tear stuff down and not try to restore it
I would kill for that stove it’s a shame going to destroy most everything
My God, it’s like everybody just up and left one day - so much was left behind. So strange.
Great slow-moving camera work! That's worth its weight in gold!!!! Can't stand spaz!
Thank you
Wow!! My mom used to go there for her nursing conferences in the 1990’s
I have friends that live in the Catskills, the phone rang just as I was starting to watch this and guess who it was!!
It's amazing, depressing and sad just how quickly things decay - I'm fascinated by your videos.
Aww thanks kelly
Lost history and lost treasures leave a sad longing in me for the lost memories and stories. My grandfather made effort before he passed away to documents unique histories of his area so they would be known and unforgotten. You guys are historian adventurers with intrigued and inquisitive spirits of romantic hearts. Thank you for sharing your passion with those of us who are also intrigued. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks janet 💙
before such places are demolished state licensed contractors/recyclers should be allowed to come in and take what they want: the art, the marble, the stone, ect. sad.
Patricia Anders it should be the law. To keep building materials out of landfills (which are paid by citizens tax dollars).
Wow...such a waste!

AMAZING VIDEO! Loved it and thank you!!!
The phone ringing around 51.36 sounds like a fax coming through
I went up over the 2018 and 2019 holidays (12/20 and 12/22). Last year there was no fencing up but this year there was new fencing up so I didn't walk through as I did last year.
I did get a short drone video clip from the resort next door. I went into nearby Ellenville and was told by locals that there is so much water damage from bursted pipes that reclamation of the buildings is believed impossible. If you would like to include my drone video in your video or post a link to it here once I post it to my TH-cam channel, please let me know.
Holy moley! This just randomly popped up...I stayed for a school leaders trip in 1998! It was absolutely gorgeous in to retro-ness. I distinctly remember the starburst light fixtures in the dining room and ice skating
I'm so sad it is closed
This place is amazing too bad it will probably be gone by May when i head that way.
This is a couple hrs away from me. Will most likely be gone by March.
It’s still there
What y'all mean be gone???
@@Kaitlin_k is it still there ? I would love to make a trip there and explore it for myself
@@ferrellboy1122 it’s still there, I was at the nevele about a week ago
Whoever owns the land should at least sell the equipment or sell it as is to someone who would restore it.
In the 1970's and 80's it was a Great Year Round Resort drawing People from Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. It catered to everyone, where most of the other resorts were more based on a certain ethnic clientele of " The Borscht Belt Circuit ".
Of course I had to watch again. Thia is probably my 2nd fave resort/video after Grossinger's. I'm so fascinated with these resorts in the Catskills. It's almost becoming an obsession. It's so sad to see them dying in decay (although also beautiful in their own way) or completely gone. Luckily for old pictures and new video/photos from you and Mike we can still see what once was and what is now. Thanks, JP!
You're quite welcome
mizmode It’s becoming an obsession with me too!
Over an hour long... yaaay! I'm getting my popcorn now. Love your videos and the longer ones. You're one of my fav explorers. Thanks so much for your efforts!
Aww I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. Save some popcorn for me.
Dammit I have the Nevele song stuck in my head lol
You're welcome lol
It will haunt me for days....
Same.. I can't focus on the video now..
Wish I had a time machine to go back and watch as this place was being built, opening day, in between and up to closing day. Moments in time. So many mixed emotions. Incredible video! ❤️❤️❤️😀😢⚜️

Here's a fun fact.. This resort was focused around the Jewish Community. The Jews weren't able to go many places in this country. Signs used to say "No Hebrews and no dogs." So this was one of the places they could escape, Catskills Mountains. They made sure to include everything golf, pools, skiing, tennis, horses.. Many guests were asked if they liked to swim and golf. A lot had said they didn't, but did like the fact it was offered. 😂
Saltwater brine would’ve flowed thru the red tubing under the rink
34:42 It is a dough press for making bread. You figure how big of a loaf a bread (8oz., 1 pound, etc.) times the number of sections. Make that much dough, put the dough in the press and the dough is pressed into each section and voila, your loaves of bread to bake. Fortuna is a very high end brand. That would be worth every penny to restore.
1:10:52 That room was FILLED with porn magazines and clippings when I was there about five years ago... Like covered floor to ceiling.
I have been going through my grandfather's slides from the 50's, 60s and early 70s and they were regular Nevele goers ... I found photos of the Nevele tower going up, the steel frames ; the interior, my family walking down the path to the skating pavilion ... and pix of us visiting with them when they were on their weeklong vacation ... don't know when the tower went up but let me know if you would like to see it:...
I was there 40 years ago, It’s the first place I learn to ski.
Of all of your abandoned resort videos, this is hands down my favorite! In all of your exploration videos, I love the old pics compared to how things look now, any old commercials or commentary you find on each property, the music you add, and the typed facts about each location. Thank you for your awesome work!
This is my favorite as well
In a youtube scene filled with clickbaity titles and urban exploration with faked scenarios I highly value this content
I was a Bellhop there in high school. Thank you for the memories. Great video.
My pleasure
You are absotively awesome at taking us ALL on an adventure, journey. Ty for sharing your time and effort and videos with us ALL. Greatly appreciated. HUGS and blessings for you and yours. 👣🌠🏞🌌👍😊🍎
Thanks sandra
Went there yesterday, too bad it's all covered in graffiti now and even more decayed but it was an awesome experience to get to explore and see it all. Would loved to have seen it in operation!
The Slutsky family, Charles in particular owned the Nevele. He had a beautiful apartment on the property. His brother owned the Falls View next door. I can’t remember if when I visited with my husband, who was a friend of Charlie , if their apartment was the penthouse suite. It’s really weird to see it in this shape. My ex-husband performed in the showroom many many times. I used to play golf there also. Beautiful challenging course.
Thank you for sharing
Kind of reminds me of The Shining!
I remember these commercials for this resort back in the 70's
I visited the Nevele as a child with my family many times during the 1980s. We went back one final time in 2004, five years prior to its closure. Thank you for filming this video and showing its state today. It is haunting to see the current images, yet my mind keeps flashing back to my memories of years ago. Such strong, wonderful memories.
Thanks for watching
new subscriber just today.
After watching your channel allll day, this one is my fave.
Love the first grand entrance huge fireplace and double staircase! Next, I really liked the penthouse suite. You do a great job at keeping my interest, talking just to me.
oh, about the spiders, ..next time you find something weird like that, any entomology dept at most colleges will tell you what it is, you just gotta take it there and ask. I totally hate spiders. but I would hv jarred one and taken it to Purdue. Now my curiosity is piqued lol
p.s. the montage at the end was icing on the cake! Thank you for the work you do, much appreciation
My Evelyn Belfiore died in a fire in the employee quarter at Krutchers Kitchen in about 83. You are remembered sweet evy.
I think you should go to Branson Missouri and look at the abandoned amusement ark. Down the street they have some abandoned houses
It’s a shame that all the lovely furniture won’t be saved in the better suites😒
That is definitely an 80s time capsule JP.
This looks like it was a beautiful place to go. It had plenty of things for everyone to do. I really hate to see places like this just go to waste. So sad. Thank you for sharing the video and the pictures. And for all the time you spent, sharing all this. It's so sad that they are doing away with Family places like this. There is hardly any drive inn theatres around any more. The price to rent a home or a condo is probably a lot more than going to a place like this back in its hay day. Hopefully they will build some more Family places like this. Where there is something for everybody. It really breaks my heart with all the mold, decay, the damage. It really is so sad, that no one wants to invest in this resort. With all the new technology now. They could have tons of dirt brought in to build up the hills. Have one of those automatic snow machines brought in and the automatic ski lifts. Bring down the walls, tear up the carpet, get rid of all the mold fix the roof on various buildings. Refurnish the rooms. They could start off slow by opening the banquet rooms, for Weddings and or parties. Work on the Condo rooms, set up the indoor pool, the indoor skating rink, indoor tennis Courts, indoor badminton, indoor. Set up the indoor fire pit. When the Winter is over, start working on Summer Sports. Outdoor pool, horseback riding, tennis, tubing both inside and outside. Set up a beautiful place for a Wedding, depending on what the Bride and Groom wants, set up a beautiful buffet either inside or outside. Set up a honeymoon sweet. I think there's a lot of potential. If it's not torn down already. They could even build a golf course, both inside and out. It's nice to dream. Thank you for sharing everything with us. Take care. God Bless. Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing this video. Loved every second. That main building where the marble wall. Behind it is stairs to go down to cousin brucie room. In there is also an arcade room and minigolf and shuffle board and pool tables room. God was went there from the 80s to closing. I went there every year each from 1988 on till it was done. I know the place inside and out except maid chambers and employee aloud rooms. but i could tell ya from main lobby to where everything took place. sad but i cant thank you enough for the video. When your friend there with the deathwish hat said something about explosives and going to knock it down i cried. Still am. Again thank you so much for this walkthrough.
Wish i knew about that arcade room. Had no idea where it was. Thanks for commenting.
Thank-you for the video's from North Carolina USA born and raised Springfield Massachusetts South End!
For your saved be careful both of you!
Your videos are breathtaking! You and your partner!
....Shame the Owners did Not hold an 'Auction', to sell off the Smaller items----Folks would have come from around the Tri-state area for it, I'm sure.......wow
I sooo agree!
the Catskill mountains i remember them very well they were the first to have all you can eat inclusive meals and shows which the cruise lines adopted and made very successful when i was a young kid growing up on long island in the late 50s and early 60s the mountains were the place to go for families and singles
Thanks for sharing
I went here about 3 weeks ago. It’s sad how much vandals have destroyed everything. There is glass everywhere, things smashed and painted, and around the tower there are TVs and various electronics flattened from being thrown out the windows...
Would of been better if they just tore it down.
