  • Today I find myself in the catskills of NY at the Homowack Lodge, a resort that was mainly Jewish clientele. The resort suffered a massive fire in early 2023, burning some of the buildings to ground leaving nothing but ashes. but some buildings still remain. join me as i take a look inside the remains of the Homowack Lodge

    Just subscribed to your channel after watching the one with you and your friend at the abandoned steam engine in PA. Subscribed to his channel too. I love watching videos featuring abandoned places!

    I was also one of the firefighters there. Took us close to 4 days due to rekindling. Main entrance was where the majority of the fire was.

    You did an exceptional job of documenting a fading piece of history from an era nearly gone but not forgotten. Excellent use of photos from the Homowack's heyday. I agree- it looks like what was once an incredibly beautiful place with lots of fun, rest, and relaxation for the whole family.

      It's because back in 2021 I was busy and didn't get to upload any videos in 6 months so it considered my channel abandoned ( how ironic right lol)

    My family and I spent our 1 week vacation in the summer up there in the Late 60's to late 70's. I have many good memories. I can tell you where you were @ 4:28 that was the main dining room. 6:16 that's the coffee shop. Above the coffee shop were rooms. 7:07 that's a picture from the main dining room not the coffee shop. The place with the ice skates, I think was built after my time there. The outdoor pool looks like it could be cleaned up and filled with water. Thank you for sharing this video.

      No nobody bothered me at all. I even parked my car on the side of the road and walked over. Some of it is accessible and okay to walk around, other parts are a little sketchy from the fire.
