ABSOLUTE must see, by far the coolest place we've ever been to. You all must watch. You won't believe what we found in this place. ****PART 2 HERE. #130 Part 2 | Abandoned UNTOUCHED 70s resort. Amazing place! • #130 Part 2 | Abandone...
What dose it said on bar, The Golden ? .... then there's plenty of time...? Don't know cuz you didn't pan the camera around on it and show us or read it.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah Probably owned by an older couple who's children didn't want to continue with the business. Updating it alone would cost a fortune. Wonder if they hand a visitor register, How sad.
I watch a lot of abandoned videos and I have to say that Bekah is the best video-er ever. She doesn't go so fast that I get dizzy and she shows every thing but doesn't stay on one thing so lone that I want to yell "Move on". Thank you Bekah, I love your videos!!
I am reading through these comments and so many of you are saying this is place is not abandoned. I guess so many don't know what the word abandoned means. To cross check this, I did google it to ensure that I was right before I made my comment . This place is certainly abandoned. Regardless of power accessing this building. Abandoned meaning …. left , unused, forsaken, deserted, cast aside..... so it definitely is abandoned. Every place has an owner, but it they choose not to use it.....means it has been left abandoned. Perhaps one day he will either rip it down or refurbish it. Perhaps it was left in a will and the new owner doesn't have money for maintenance or doesn't live in the state. As for people saying there are no cob webs or dust. If you notice its mainly the lower floors that are more preserved than the top floors. Notice that when they got higher the water damage and rot was far worse. This being anything closer to the roof would be damaged as the roof wears away. If a place is sealed and closed , there is no way that dust can come in. I feel the owners come to check on the place sporadically, ensuring minimal maintenance is done, clearing of grassed areas and lighting preventing vandalism etc.…. thus explaining the toilet cleaner on the table.... they may clean the toilet so they can use it while there. For those people who are being negative about this video..... saying they are trespassing etc.….. why on earth do you even bother watching it? Either this video or any other on abandoned buildings? Its about the thrill and entertainment for us who do watch them. Rick and Bekah did not go in there and trash or be disrespectful in anyway to this building. They gave us some great entertainment and I appreciated their time to do this. So all you fun police, get of this computer and stop being keyboard warriors and do something else that you find entertaining. Leave us who appreciate this kind of entertainment to continue watching these amazing videos without reading your drivel.
@@ExploringwithRickBekah Oh.... you guys are so welcome. I really love watching this video....,keep up the great work. Hope your had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you both from Australia x
I just discovered these groups of "Explorers" - these videos are so addictive! I used to daydream about doing stuff like this when I was younger. Now, I can enjoy it vicariously thru these young people. Stay safe. Have fun! And thank you!
I have stayed in resorts in upstate NY as of just a few years ago, 2013 to be exact, and believe it or not there are many places lodging wise that are still stuck in the 70s and 80s, and I have actually have spoken to a few folk from the areas and they say that is all by design they like to keep it retro, either that or there just cheap, but I did stay in a Clarion Resort in Lake George NY and it was defiantly not updated in 35 to 40 years just kept clean so it is very possible this place could have officially just closed 10to 15 years ago
Not squatters. It’s not abandoned. Somebody owns it and somebody is paying the electricity bill. It’s unused as a resort, sure, but not ABANDONED. It’s definitely not smart for these people to be wandering around someone’s property.
I love to watch these abandoned videos!! But I felt uneasy about this place because in my mind it clearly has a groundskeeper with water and power still being on that's why it is still in good shape.
Based on the plywood you can see going up the stairs in one scene and the wooden planks near the car that don’t seem very old I think this place isn’t abandoned rather having some work done on it by the owners, would explain why they keep the toilets clean, as for dust or cobwebs, cobwebs can be taken off with a broom and dust doesn’t gather much if a place is sealed, based on the plastic cover on the tables and more modern chairs compared to the older cloth table cloths and deterioration on the chairs on a room you can clearly see they haven’t worked on, I think you guys found a nice building having work on it. By definition the place isn’t abandoned, so the title is a bit misleading, maybe even clickbait due to that, I think they got permission to enter a great old building and captured stuff we wouldn’t get to see, which is greatly appreciated and I enjoyed the video just because of that, getting to see a place still stuck in time, especially before it’s remodeled completely. That also would explain why they’re not wanting to give out the location as the owners might not want more people bothering them to go in. Even tho the drug run theory and sex trafficking makes it creepier, think it was just a building they had permission to go into, that might be having work being done on it, still great vid and great work.
One of the best videos I've EVER seen. All the rooms look like you could just check in. It does appear that someone is taking good care of everything, but wouldn't you think they would want to sell the furniture? I would love to be able to take a walk through there. Great job! I think you have to experience the 70's to appreciate that carpet!
This place definitely does not feel abandoned. Something exceptionally strange, but definitely no vibe of abandonment and the usual decay. Someone appears to be doing their best to take good care here. I have seen many things here I would love to have in my home
at 22;55 you missed the sheet of paper in the typewriter all work and no play makes jack a sad boy all work and no play makes jack a sad boy all work and no play makes jack a sad boy
Funny how she keeps saying how horrible the carpets are. In the 70's those color schemes were the hottest trend in decorating.The Trailways bus tells me the location is probably in the Hudson Valley or New York Adirondacks. In the 70's a family would load into the Country Squire station wagon and travel up the NYS Thruway to such a place. Being as so many deer are just milling around I would say people are rarely there.
usually with so many deer around it could be that i was there. lol. they lie in wait to run out in front of my car. they tend to huddle in the lower part of my back yard, but sometimes, are standing in my shorter front yard. lol.
I know I'm figuring that to miss .ginger me and you think the same you must be a 70s girl too yes the adirondacks was big in the 70s families would go there they would advertise it in tv commercials
Few things to remark: (1) the power is on because someone at some point knew a guy who knew a guy who worked / used to work for the power company and would climb the pole and hook you up if you put the right amount of cash in his pocket. (2) Based on the bus, this is in NY area and you can tell people there were coming from NYC 646. Given the era and some other stuff, this was probably built with mob money, run as a front business, and when the top dog pinched or the losses got to big to run it, they started using it as a parking lot for cars and set someone up there who lived there with their family, they had a baby, and one thing's for sure, they weren't junkies or the place would be completely stripped. (3) That lazy boy wasn't there in the middle of the room to give a speech, it was there to watch somebody... who could easily be buried somewhere on the grounds nearby. (4) Places like this tended to hit the bricks in the 80s and 90s when RICO prosecutions peaked. Around those times it was common for these kinds of resorts to get sold to someone whose dream it was to run a resort, but who didn't really have the resources needed to update a place like this or keep people coming in the door. They would then resort to things like climbing phone poles to turn the cable / electric back on (5) Everything in this place screams Italian but the one tangible piece of evidence I see in the clip says Irish. You don't need to run a VIN check, you need to go to the recorders officer (online now anyway) and look up who the past 4-5 owners were. Don't post it here though, or someone will go there and strip the place.
gdeangelkick not to mention places like this were all over upstate NY. Often used for gambling and prostitution operations, swinger operations and such!
Beautiful work as always. I'm just beginning to discover your videos. The 70's interiors furniture and tutor styling is so warming and reminiscent of the time period. Love the colonial and spindle furniture. Sad to see it falling into disrepair water damage and mold. With vision it can still be saved from that fate. Thank you for posting. Now onto video 2!
Wrong - the Spiral CFL bulb was invented in 1976. It would have been 'the latest'/state-of-the-art, like many of the features in the resort, at the time
Cool place, little memo though. This place is not that old, the smoke alarms in the rooms are chirping because they need new batteries. This means the batteries are @ best a year old, so this place was abandoned recently. Still a good find though.😊
Reading through these comments, I was starting to think I was the only one hearing those lol. The smoke alarms chirping is a dead giveaway that this place is being looked after, at least intermittently.
My biggest concern for Urban explorers is that most don't ask permission to enter the property. In most states, there is still a law that allows property owners to shoot trespassers on sight. My fear is that one day I'm going to wake up to read about a Urban Explorer or more gets killed by a land owner for illegal trespass and breaking and entering. You see, these owners have no idea that you are just there to videotape and photograph the place. They may assume you're there to steal or vandlize... or both. As many people do that...many will watch these videos to get ideas on where they can steal or destroy a place that sits empty. Just because a dwelling or building is no longer in use doesn't make it abandoned. It does belong to somebody. It sounds like you are fearful of getting caught, I wonder, why don't you just ask around to find out who owns it and gain permission to go in? Seems like the safest way of doing it. Just my thoughts on the matter. I still enjoy the videos though. Stay safe..
Your concern is slightly flawed, I believe you are thinking of the Castle Doctrine. But you CANNOT just shoot a trespasser on sight based on the Castle Doctrine. You see, a responsible gun owner must consider the following: 1) Is the property posted? 2) Is the property fenced? 3) Are they threatening the property owner? 4) Is the trespasser a minor? 5) Is the trespasser armed? If you answer NO to number 1, 2, 3, and 5, and the property owner just shoot the trespasser without solving the issue first peacefully or through law enforcement agencies, I promise you that property owner will be in a lot of legal problems. Google Castle Doctrine and duty to retreat. You could find them in Wiki.
NOPE... nowhere in the US can you shoot a trespasser on sight. You have to be in fear of great bodily harm to yourself. So if you are in your own house, at night, and find someone stalking through your living room, you can legally shoot on sight... in most states not all. Some you have to try to run away, or retreat to the wall first. But nowhere can you shoot someone legally for being in your abandoned building.
What was really weird about the pool area was the modern chairs all lined up and the zero gravity chairs! The decor is definitely late 60's early 70's! Great find!🔮ɱყʂɬıƈąƖɱơơŋ🌙
Someones property people....Not Abandoned !!! They put the power and lights on to keep people out.... Cars are stored there and not a free for all...Some were not as dusty as others thus someone cleaned then not that long ago. Some furniture and the Computer are from the 90's and early 00's.. Most decor is early 70's late 60's and mixed with 80's,90's and some could be early 00' stuff.. Remember its not abandoned !
That looks like that resort from one movie dirty dancing with Patrick Swayze JOHNNY N BABE. I had seen this in another explorer video showing the other end used as an apartment unit that went on fire in the 2011. Anyone rmbr watching that.
the one holding the camera drives me crazy ! this is not abandoned as the lights are all on and working, i saw a bottle of modern toilet bowl cleaner and the car is neately parked inside on a carpet ? Plus i think you guys are trespassing lol.
This place is definitely 70's. MG Midget was a popular early-70's car, worth a lot now! Great find! Really enjoy your videos and appreciate your respect.
This all reminds me of some twisted dream or nightmare some of us gets at times. That doesn’t make sense, With all the different elements that unfolds , with the power still left on ,the wild life roaming outside. Some parts in natural decay and most not the vintage cars next to the indoor pool. The whole place being like a endless maze. Yep this sure comes off as some twisted dream , and is one of your best explores. Stay safe,Be careful, and Keep on rolling
I have dreams of walking into abandoned places that still look usable, yet they are naturally crumbling away, such as most of the building in this video, then I wake up. One of these days I will find something like this, only it will not still be used.
Did anyone else see the white mist when she was looking at those broken chairs and table before entering that room that grew grass and she says " Omg, Goodness? "
It gives me the creeps, getting a bad vibe from it and how can people say its not abandoned its evident plus the old style furniture/damage come on doesn't take a genius to figure it out... Great find guys 👍🏾
Ya all this isn’t something that’s stopped in time. Someone took the time to clean it out hence the large mess outside as well as the lack of dust and the beds being made. Then the cars also most likely belong to someone and they maybe possibly trying to repair it. So someone is living there
Because the place clearly isn't abandoned and they either had permission or they comitted a burglary. It's on RU-vid just so people can watch and comment on it.
Marina durlin What do U think the comments are for ?! Really ticks me off when people like U think ONLY YOU can comment . Abandoned places do not have water , electricity , beds made and valuable collector cars . I would most certainly be leaning toward trespassing .
You answered your own question- nobody is living there. I suspect the owner of the property inherited it and doesn’t need money so is just hanging onto to it for maybe sentimental reasons.
5:35 "antique bed-top thing" (u funny-girl:) I guess folks over 40 or 50 would know that style of bed. If you didn't have one, you knew someone that did. Thank y'all 4 sharin!
I was thinking the same thing. Can only get there on foot. Looks like one to me. All the stages and rooms is really creepy. Probably a place where they bring kids and god only knows what went on in that place.
Probably is a cult compound very creepy that its clean and the beds are made power still on like its waiting for doomsday to arrive or the cult to come back and occupy it again lol
It seems a lot of people come up here for criticism only, there is plenty of dust, her opinions are hers, their problems of entering without permission are theirs, and so you can sit back and enjoy the tour or go somewhere else or maybe shut up.
Its so sad to see so much beauty left to be forgotten and destroyed. I would love to know the history of these places but appreciate the fact that people are trying to protect these sites by not giving out the information. I love history and am a 60's baby and enjoy the flash backs these give. It's just so disappointing they can't still be in use as a resort or homes for the needy but I'm sure their are good reasons for the way things are. I respect the fact that you leave things in peace. My heart is very saddened by the loss of something so beautiful.
All that is classic 1970s era. Olive green and gold were very popular colors, and that wallpaper is typical 1970s. Those MG Midget cars were things teenage boys liked to tinker with.
A floatie from the 70s or 80s would not still have air in it. That's bizarre that it's sitting on the ice in the pool. I get the definite feeling this place is visited, and often. There was a modern light bulb next to one of the lamps in a room. They didn't have those bulbs in the 90s, much less earlier. You guys are lucky you didn't get caught and slapped with trespassing. And dude, no disrespect, but you shouldn't be touching the stuff that isn't yours, breaking the knob on the tv, trying to turn the computer on. You really should stay hands off other peoples' property.
Having grown up in this era, I found myself looking back and getting caught up with past memories. Thank you. I remember working on a computer like that and yes they were very loud and the forever to boot.
Cool find guys😎. I really liked the cars that you found. The Orange car was an MG that is British from the 1960’s. The black car was a Chevrolet Corvette from the 70’s. I also saw an old 1930’s ford Pickup that was pretty cool . Anyway keep up the good work and also really cool that the place still had power.
Close...1977. Two clues: in 1978 Chevy switched from the old notchback rear window seen here to a wrap-around "bubble" window. Combine that with the Corvette flag emblem on the fender and that indicates this is a '77 (prior to '77, the fender badges read "Stingray" in script). My guess is that the owner actively visits this place and is using it as storage for classic cars and who knows what else, but the place is clearly no longer suitable as a resort business. If I had this kind of property I'd keep old cars on it, no question.
The MG is a Mk IV Midget 'rubber bumper', built from 1975-80 (they were all identical for those six years, just have to look at the VIN plate in the doorjamb to see the production date to determine what year it is), with a 1500cc four with a single Stromberg sidedraft carb. (I had a '75 identical to this one, same color, in the mid-90s), The Mk I, II. & III were chrome bumper cars (1963 to 1974), with 1275cc fours with twin SU sidedraft carbs. The Vette is a '77 with an aftermarket custom front cap with non-hideaway headlamps, and aftermarket hood and rear spoiler (factory rear spoilers weren't available until the '78 model year) and it has the optional factory alloy wheels (RPO YJ8). The Plymouth is a '67 Fury I, with either a 318 2bbl, or a 383 2bbl V-8, and no A/C. The truck is a '28-'31 (no distinguishing characteristics to differentiate one year from another, have to have the serial number to determine which year it is) Model A open cab pick-up with a custom built wooden body. The Ford Thunderbird is a 1965 Landau coupe, 390c.i. V-8 was standard, A/C was optional, could not tell from interior pics in part 2 of video if it had A/C. BTW, this resort is, I believe, in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY.
The cars are there for storage by the owners of the property. They can be worked on and maintained there. I keep expecting someone to come around a corner and ask what the heck you are doing? 😂
When you found the miniature model of the resort at 16.00... I was waiting for you to lift the roof off the model of the building you guys were in and find two tiny human figures made of cardboard crouching over a miniscule model of the resort in the tiny cardboard room of the model....
It just goes to show you that material things are nice but are not to be cherish cause you can't take them with you so enjoy life as it happens for one day it'll all be gone
@@mikecroaro519 Roof might be caving because they can't afford or don't want to spend the money. Someone clearly goes there often by the looks of things.
Opening scene: The lights on the building (rooms?) are on. Electricity doesn't just "stay on." Generators have to be maintained, fueled, etc. and/or electric bills have to be paid. The property is not abandoned. Closed, maybe, but still maintained.
Turkeydoodlers L. someone is still watching over the place, if a family member still pays the light bill the property doesn't become a government's property.
That was most likely the model rendering the design architects did when they were pitching the blueprint designs of the vision they had for the resort before it was built.
This reminds me of all the beautifully "preserved" Japanese hotels and resorts that were abandoned in the 80s, 90s and 00s. They're all still so immaculate but definitely abandoned. This one still feels pretty used however
I Absolutely love this place, 70's decor, untouched, minor decomposition, absolutely perfect find. I remember hearing typewriters here and there in everyday life back then. The Acer54E monitor seems to be from the mid to late 90s. There woulda been a date on it somewhere. It’s seems the place was never only had minor updates from the 70s. I noticed the calendar in your picture said 2003; wow that place woulda looked badly dated back then. Great pictures BTW, do more of those anytime.
R&B, awesome find! This is by far my favorite 70's time capsule vid. So intact. Sad that so many classic cars got abandoned. I hope this place stays preserved.
That was very cool guys, I grew up in the 70's I'm 55 so a lot of that stuff was very familiar to me...there were so many Bar's and Lounge's in that place! people liked to drink a lot back then not as much as they did from the 20's thru the 50's those were real big drinking times for sure. It does make ya wonder whats going on with that place why all the cars are there why is the electricity still on or maybe is was turned on recently to be fix up again, would be awesome to know huh ?! Thanks for another great video always enjoyable :O) P.S. I love how you always watch out for your wife Rick your always making sure shes safe your so sweet ~
It was only soft drinks and ice cream cups... it seems they tried to create the world of the Holly Hobbie doll from the creator Denise Holly Ulinskas, the artwork, based on Hobbie's own children and with rustic New England style of a bygone era..it's a mix with rustic and the 70's...
It’s owned and slowly being renovated! Looks like they stay as they work on it them selves and with no garage their cars safe inside unless explores or homeless people break in.
IDK ...you guys are gutsy ! Really cool place but I got the heebie geebies like something weird went on there or worse...weird rituals of some sort go on there. Electric on some beds made and that car ! What the heck...there's got to be a story here.
Wow! Amazing place! Makes you wish someone would come along and salvage everything that can be salvaged....especially those CARS!! More than ever, you gotta wonder what happened. I know your time and battery life is limited, but I want to see every little thing! Did you take photos of the deer? I think that was a neat part of the whole scene. I'm wanting to scream, "Where is the owner? Why don't they clean up and sell all those neat old light fixtures, lamps, dishes, chairs, beds & tables, that neat old hutch, the barn(?) décor on the walls....even some of those neat windows!!??" A lot of it is ruined, but sure wish they would save the rest and not let it all rot. SAD!! Sigh!.....
Wow,you sure are trusting to go in such a place! Could be someone waiting anywhere just for someone to go trespassing, then POW. Guess who did it! We won't tell if you don't. Of course YOU can't! Wonder why!😎
I’ve heard by some exploring that now some of the police are ok with u going in sometimes if they know you are not gonna vandalize or steal. But it is easier to get permission and maybe a tour by someone and safer then going in and trespassing. Maybe tell a cop b4 u go so they know.btw if the cars hood is up it seams the place isn’t abandoned and light are on.as I’ve also found people have their own way of videotapeing . So as long as I get to see the abandoned place I’m happy. Of course flying around the room with the camera is dizzying. Not saying she is . But some do.great video and pictures!
You guys truly out did yourselves in this video.. It was the best that I've seen from you guys. You took your time, and showed us so much detail, on little things that are over looked... Thank you. I love how you did this, thank you, hats off to both of you .. and just an FYI... If you want to know , how to legally keep something you've found, get back with me.. I can show you how... Same day.. :). Good bless you guys
If that was truly abandoned you could buy those cars for a buck each off the state then re-key it. Obviously that place is not abandoned. Those cars would be in worse shape just from sitting there.
Hi, you totally missed the calendar behind the first bar (the one with the barrel seats). That may have given you an idea when the place was left behind. Computer in office looked like a mid-90's version. Car next to the Corvette was a mid-60's Plymouth Fury. White car was a mid-60's Ford T-bird. Interesting video. Thanks for posting.
My best guess is there are people who probably are living in there, homeless, squatters, etc. The fact that the power is still on is odd, someone must be paying the bills otherwise the power company would shut them off its also weird that the float ring in the pool is still blown up. Question, are you in the Pocono's of Pennsylvania, they had a ton of big resorts much like the Catskills in NY, they all went out of business after the 80's ... a few survived for a bit but not many. Its just odd that they shut the doors and walked away. Please be safe, I worry more about you meeting some unfriendly characters more than I worry about you falling through a floor. Thanks for sharing.
“Camping with a dash of cooking”- the booklet in the dining room was published in 1982. The prices on the menu are what I remember from around the ‘80’s as well.
I'm not sure about that place being totally abandoned, simply for the fact that there was no dust on the car and furnature, I'm assuming that somone is still looking after that place at least. But very cool, I love old places but also droves me nuts how some of the good places are vacant when there are so many people that could honestly use decent places to live with their family's
60's T-Bird looked in great condition and the hood wasn't open. Best car there...probably runs. Yeah, that's why there's still electricity. Lucky you werent busted.
