You found a wooden heart with the number 69 on it that hadn't been stolen yet. That's like finding a unicorn.

My husband and I honeymooned there in the 80's. When we first walked in, we had a photo taken, wish I could post it. Had a cabin with round bed, mirrored ceiling, and pool, with his and her bathrooms. We had breakfast (pancakes only) delivered outside our cabin in a wooden box by a man that drove a station wagon. We did miniature golf, paddle boating in the lake, archery, and gun shooting. We saw a comedy show too. It was great. Wanted to celebrate our 25th anniversary there years back and found it closed. What a shame, it was a beautiful setting. Thanks for the video!

So Dan, we're gonna just skate on by that door opening by itself like that didn't happen, huh?

I worked at The Summit in 1975-76 as a waitress. I wasn’t allowed to deliver to the rooms because I was too young! There were lip-shaped couches in the nightclub. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures ... I’m 61 now and remember the escapades at The Summit quite well!

This is totally bizarre for me to see. In 2000 My husband and I honeymooned here... we were young and it was the only place we could afford. The place was REALLY dated but it was amusing and very camp. I was sad to hear of it going under..... I was also sad to hear of "Saxy Sal", the main entertainer at the nightclub, passing. In any case, it is so strange to see a place you once were while it was alive in this state. Goodnight Summit Resort.....

it blows my mind how the power is still on and nothing has caught fire.

I love how the music fades to an echo. Really adds to the loneliness of an abandoned space once filled with so much activity.

Am I the only one who ate there fucking lung when that bang on the door happened?

Right when that door opened by itself, my doorbell rings. Talk about cardiac arrest!

They should just restore it and make a 70's theme resort only. People have to dress according to the era. These days people want retro this and retro that.

Door: opens itself Dan: let's see what's inside! This guy hasn't learned anything from scary movies.

Ummmm that door opened on its own! Remember there is little air flowing through there. I would have cut this video short and hauled tail out of there. Fuck that lol

I love your choice of music for this vid! Ironically, I worked there about 25 years ago. I worked in the dinning room serving food and I have very vivid memories of the kitchen which reminded me of a dungeon but many of the old resort style kitchens are like that.

My mom freaked out when she saw this!!!! Her and my dad staid hear 20 years ago for there honeymoon. She said when they went there the lobby smelled so bad and they stayed in a room with a heart tub and the carpet had so much mold! and she remembers eating in the room with the round tables. They were suposed to stay there for about a week but it was so bad they left early. Thank you Dan for showing this!!! Keep up the great work!!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here in June of 1983. This video brought back a flood of memories. We stayed at the Heart Villa #79. I saw the keys to the #79 hanging up in the footage. Wow! Very sad to see this place like this. Truly is surreal.

The intro song will be in my head for the rest of my life

6:55 This is the "OH HELL NAHHH" moment to me. lol

6:57 Nope. Nope. _Nope._ I would have "noped" right the hell out of there.

Honestly, I think it was gorgeous in it's glory. The rich velvets, ornate light fixtures, dark wood paneling, and the natural elements like the rock waterfall! I adore the aesthetic of that era, it's designed to feel regal but not out of reach. And always luxurious. I wish there were places like this still.

Its like the cheesy disco version of “The Shining”.

Awsome memories of the place. When I was in my teens, 49 years old now, I had the opportunity to deliver our chocolate candies here at the gift department for a company I used to work for "Betty Dixon Candies". Thank you so very much for all the videos you do and the time it takes to make it look great on KZfaq. Thank you Mr. Bell!!! Rick cooper.

14:24 ugh it hurst my piano playing heart to see a beautiful piano sitting and going to waste. I mean it's not even in bad shape. A little dusting and tuning and someone could be enjoying that beautiful instrument.

I went there today (August 20th 2016) everything is still the same. Power still on, nightclub untouched. I filmed some drone footage as well as the ground and main building. Video will be up by Monday.

So you weren't remotely worried when the door opened by itself???

My wife and I stayed there in the late 70's. Thanks Dan, for bringing back the good memories! In its heyday The Summit was a great time. The nightclub and lounge were packed and a lot of fun when we were there. Old time Catskills type comedian performed when we were there. Thanks again for the memories!

Love this video because we went to the Summit many times in the 80s & 90s. We were well aware of how corny the theme was but it just added to the fun. We use to go with 7 couples & kept going back there because it was so inexpensive & all inclusive. Breakfast, lunch & dinner included for under 100$ a nite. Entertainment every nite in the theater/lounge area. Thanks for the video, just sorry the place is in shambles. We have many pictures from our stays there. Several in the dining room with the wall of windows in the back and the rooms we stayed in. We never stayed in a villa, too expensive, lol. Many good memories.

I worked there as a kid a waiter then cook dishwasher maintenance basically my whole family worked there thru the 80s & 90s. My mom was the head Hostess ...... It was really nice then it was always booked I miss the Xmas parties we had indoor pool Game rooms it was fun. So sad to see it this way. I can’t believe nobody has done something with it Thanks for bringin back those memories!!!!

I only wish that I could take a place like that, fix it up, N make it into what it once was. Cause ppl need places like that today.

I worked here for several years in the late 90's into the 2000's, I remember everyone panicking cause of y2k, the family that owned it has all passed away, it went under cause the owner owed so much on his taxes and was too cheap to keep the place up to date and never wanted to spend money on fixing things, now it's completely destroyed, the last time I drove by the locals have vandalized so much of it, it's a shame

Ok, that door opening on its own was damned creepy! Great video, Dan. This place must have been gorgeous in its hey day.

Friends of mine were on their honeymoon there in 1976 and they are still together to this day. Great couple!

Dan, thank you so much. We actually went there on our honeymoon in 1995 and we were saddened when we heard it had closed down, but not surprised. Even back then, it was hopelessly outdated. We were in one of the honeymoon chalets. The resort was clean and well maintained at the time but the carpeting on the walls, the heart shaped bed and bath, the wrought iron medieval chandelier and the fireplace were just so hokie but added to the atmosphere. We still have fond memories from there, as well as the souvenir keychain and glasses. I will show this video to my wife and we'll have a drink in those glasses.

Dan i think the two things that set your videos apart from other urbex videos is the music and commentary

I guess the Honeymoon is over..

This brought back a lot of memories. I was a nightclub musician during the 70's and 80s' (yes I wore the silk shirts etc.! lol). I never played "The Poconos", but most of the places at the time had pretty much the same look. Thanks for the vid!!

That opening song is perfect. While watching you can almost see the ghosts of men in their gawdy satin shirts. With the powder blue sansabelt pants

love your commentary dan. your gonna get big soon . you have a great film style.

A LOT of babies were most likely conceived in this place too. I love those chandeliers in the lounge😁 I want one in my dining room.

It's refreshing to see a place that hasn't been tarnished by teenagers and spraypaint.

The production value and editing of your videos are impressive.

At 6:55 mark that would have been my decision to leave.

My husband and I honeymooned here back in January of 1981. It was very nice back in it's day. We had one of the rooms with the pool. I believe it was called the Fantasia suite. It seems at that time instead of updating facilities and staying a little more current with the times, the various resorts there were trying to outdo one another with a bigger and better room offerings. I have great memories as it was a wonderful honeymoon. Couple that dined with us as dinner was on a *trial honeymoon*....I still laugh about that today. I was 19 when I got married and couldn't quite figure that one out. I have some pictures floating around....if I come across them, I will send them to you.

"Evening Lloyd!" "Good evening, Mr. Torrence."

The door opened by itself and....no questions asked?!

I'm in awe watching this video I can still feel the lively vibe it just doesn't have that abandon feeling and the paintings made my night I can't believe how untouched they were. Thank-you for keeping the 70s alive +this is dan

I wonder how much coke was snorted in this place in its hey day.

6:54 well after seeing that shit I'd be hauling ass up out of that bitch as fast as I possibly could and not a hope in hell would I have went in that room 🏃🏻💨👻

6:55 * door opens on its own* you: well don't mind if I do WTF

The light fixtures are amazing, someone needs to rescue them before it's too late!

A lot of baby's were made in that place..

Great vid Dan. I've heard many stories about how the Poconos were they place to be during the late sixties and seventies. Although a little dusty, I'm glad you could give us a peek into that time. This place must have been they place to be.

This is still the best Dan! Have been watching the channel for a good while now. During these hard times I watch the old videos to help me go to sleep. Hope things are well. Thanks

I am a west coast guy and don't know anything about the Poconos so I looked it up on Wikipedia. Lo and behold - one of the most notable residents there is Morris Wilkins, inventor of the heart-shaped bathtub and the guy who is credited for establishing this place as the 'honeymoon capital of the world'. This video is like a relic of this guy's work. He died this year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Wilkins

I drive past this place almost every day and I've always wanted to see what is inside...! So weird seeing a youtuber like you come to a place so out of the way!

Your videos are very atmospheric thanks to the subtle music, sound fx, soothing narration and above all else - steady camera work. A jack of all trades and a master of the genre that is abandoned footage.

can you imagine if the phone rang..

That's an urban explorers dream come true!, all original, untouched by graffiti/vandals/copper thieves. Truly an amazing place!, I had no idea the Poconos was such a Couples Get away spot!. Kinda reminds me of the Catskills. Great video as always Mr. Bell!.

Its amazing how much stuff is still there. I love it since it really gives you a better sense of what went on there day to day.

This is absolutely one my favorite films you have produced. I watch it once every 3 or 4 months or so, Love ya Dan!

Damn- when that door opened- I would've ran all the way to California- you got more guts than I do- always love your videos Dan! 👍🏼

The nightclub part was awesome! I would LOVE to be able to spend just one night there back in the 70s just to see how everything was. I love your videos so much thanks for always putting your all into them!

"get it up higher" wut u talking bout m8

This one is so sad! You just know that people probably really loved this place and had good memories there, and I hate when someplace I love goes away. Also just the pure vintagey goodness and yes, cheese factor makes it kinda charming! Wish I could of gone there when it was up and running :)

This place is amazing. All of the the wallpaper patterns and designs had me drooling and don't even get me started on the heart shaped bar! I am absolutely obsessed with your channels, I can't stop binge watching.

That night club is awesome! Its crazy the owners never sold off any of the furniture. I've heard this place had alarms? Did you get the owners permission to explore? One of my favorite videos so far ...always entertaining .. keep up the great work!

Groovy! Great example of the 1970s tackiness.

this place is so beautiful, even after being abandoned for a decade or more

I’m new to Dan Bell and I really love this place. It’s amazing. All the fab furniture just wasted! Thanks for all your explores Dan as I’m binge watching over the last week 🇮🇪❤️☘️

Why didn't he react when the door opened?

Sad, so much nice furniture and stuff wasted. This place could probably be fixed if it doesn't sit too much longer.

I have probably watched this video 50 times and I love it everytime! I just think Dan brings this place back to life just for a little while.

Just celebrated our 35 wedding anniversary this year and The Summit is where we went for our honeymoon. The Poconos were a big honeymoon destination at the time. Last year we were going to be in Pennsylvania near there and thought it would be fun to go see it. That’s when we found out it had been closed and abandoned. We went anyways to explore on our actual wedding anniversary! It was sad and eerie at the same time. There has been a lot of damage since your video-broken windows, lots of stuff gone, tons of graffiti. We found the heart shaped themed cabin we stayed in and recreated some photos there and in the lobby. It was a very cool experience.

This place is awesome! It would be absolutely amazing re-opened as a 70s themed hotel/bar.

I was there on my honeymoon in 1988, then 1996 and then 1998 for our 10th wedding anniversary we took our vows again in front of tht stone waterfall. There was a very Parrot there at the time. Then we went back in 2001 just before they closed. We had the pool in our suite. Everythg heart shape. Fireplaces heart shape Jacuzzi. We all had professional pictures taken of us tht they said they wud like to use for their broshures. We had to sign a waiver!? I still have all those pictures. I'm 74 year old now and all THTS left is those wonderful memories. We were in love with the Summit!💖

Amazing...You know there was a bunch of 'Love' going on there! The 70's was a different time as so were the people.

Excellent video!!! What a time capsule of the 70's. Nice work Dan!

Who sings the opening song?? "Give it up, give it up.... Higher, higher... Ooh... Cch...cch....cch! It's stuck in my head and I would like to own it now! Thanks.

Hey Dan, I love and appreciate all of your dead/abandoned videos. They tap into a part of my psyche that no other medium really has. So a big thanks to you and kudos to your work. And to all you freaks watching this, I hope you enjoy it. I, in some unexplainable way, enjoy it as well.

Its eerily sad seeing a walk through of good-times gone by. It certainly ignites my imagination upon viewing it.

The music and Ambient sounds edited in really gives this lost place a memory.

My compliments on your choice of music! We had a really good laugh on a day when we really needed one around here about the irony of this intro.

Hey Dan, after I binge watched a ton of urbex videos of various youtubers I somehow got stuck on your channel. You perfectly catch the atmosphere of the places you visit. It just amazes me everytime. Your calm way to film the rooms and interesting things in them is perfect. Other youtubers tend to move too fast or focus on things that are not as interesting I think. Or they talk too much. What I want to say is, that you are doing a really good job and I look forward to your upcoming videos. Greetings from Germany :) Keep up the good work!

Such an eerie vibe to the whole place, but never more so than in the Scheherazade Lounge & Kismet Barroom. But it's not a creepy eeriness at all; it's more like feeling that a show is going to start at any second, one that'll actually take you on back to its heyday! Great opening music, too! I have to say that, of all your videos, this one is my favorite, with the Rolling Acres Mall coming in an extremely close second. You're probably sick of comments like these, but thank you sooo much for sharing this awesomely entertaining material with us, Dan! Please keep 'em coming!

What a gem of a place! Even though it probably lead to its demise, I'm glad the owner never bothered to renovate it at all, keeping the original 70s aesthetic all the way up to its closing and inadvertently giving intrepid explorers an unbelievable time capsule to enjoy.

Wow!.. What an amazing place and how wonderful you were able to look around.. I little time capsule! Great how all décor stayed as originally done despite still being open in 00's. Thanks for sharing .

Dan. My wife and I honeymooned at the Summit in October of 1982 and yes, we stayed in a room with the heart shaped tub and bed. True story...they served meals family style and Lo and behold inside the huge bowl of mashed potatoes was a steel bolt that had come loose from the blender that helped whip the mashed potatoes. I also remember that metal light post and round globe you showed!

Wow your videos are absolutely fantastic. I just recently came across them and now I'm addicted. I'm from Pennsylvania so it was so nice to see some of its history. When you said you wish you could spend a day there in its heyday to see what that club was like, maybe if you put it out there's some people might have video or pictures they could send you. I know it wouldn't be the same as being there but you could see what it was like when it was in full swing

Dan, I am thankful that you posted this and appreciate this era! Most poke fun at the mid-century America remnants and paint graffiti and thrash them. I too really appreciate the really cool style and ambiance of this era of hotels, resorts, night clubs, restaurants etc. I love the cool fixtures too.

The intro song is entitled: "That's What She Said"

Incredible footage...thanks, Dan. I share your appreciation for the old decor of the 60's and 70's and you're right: this is truly a stunning glimpse back in time!

My husband and I honeymooned there back in 1981. The Pocono honeymoon resorts spent lots of money advertising in the various bridal magazines back in the day. You paid the price for the hotel and all three meals and your activities were included. We got married in the dead of winter and it was pretty cool to be swimming in the pool when it was 10 degrees outside! The Poconos has grown up a lot since we were on our honeymoon. I remember we didn't like what they were serving for dinner one of the nights we stayed and we drove about 15 miles to find a pizzeria! It's so very sad to see this....it was alive and vibrant when we're there in a cold January of 81. :(

Just love the attention to detail put into these videos, can’t stop watching!!

That nightclub was so amazing! I can't believe it wasn't tampered with, not even to move all the chairs and tables.

This had to be one gorgeous place. I can still feel the ambiance just watching this!

I keep coming back to watch this Dan Bell classic after all of these year. 🤩

I'm ashamed at how many times I have watched this through the years! Love you, Dan🎉

Spent our honeymoon here in September 1989. So sad to see it abandoned. We had a cabin with the heart shaped bed and jacuzzi. I have many pictures from the resort. It really was an awesome place for the times.

I just subscribed to your channel!! I believe I'm addicted!! I LOVE the feeling, looking at these abandoned places gives me!! Creepy, awesome, bittersweet, rare, guessing, and wowed, all in one!! Thank you, for bringing such wonders to life! AMAZING!!

Man, your videos are something else, you seriously know how to identify the vibe of a place and capture it so well with the shots and music , amazing ♡
