Waterfall to the pool: Me: Aww that's so cool The Proper People: That's really tacky Me: Yeah that's really tacky

My grandparents took me there in the '80s. It was fabulous.

"White mold, black mold, it's all bad" **deep breath**

I wouldn't say it was alarmed, maybe mildly surprised, but not alarmed...

This place is being patrolled by security and the police, people have been caught here. Furthermore, the active Honors Haven Hotel is right next door. The buzzing power sound you heard in the basement is for the active cell phone antenna's on the roof of the building. There were plans to keep some of the building structures such as the ice skating ring, and multi floor round building in the new renovation plans to turn the resort into a casino. There's photos and videos floating around on the internet. The new casino was planned to be completed and opened on March 2020, there's still a billboard on Rt 209 announcing the opening date, but the resort still sits abandoned. The building is indeed has been marked for demo. 500 acres of the property has been put up for sale. It's cool seeing you two explore something so near by to me.

Bryan and Michael the conveyer at 13:58 is a dry clean conveyer, it holds clothes in hangers and raises them to the next floor

My favourite part was when there was almost a fistfight over whether or not there had been a fire in the Stardust Room.

"it's coming from down in the basement. should we go take a look?" "yeah, let's go take a look" (this is how most horror movies shift into the 2nd act)

"It smells like piss!" Ah yes, way to set the scene Bryan omg

I will never get sick of your intro!

Between the mould, asbestos and lead paint you guys are constantly in contact with, protective gear should be top priority if you want to live past 40.

The rooms with the miss matched furniture are probably employee rooms for 24hr stay on location staff. That was a practice back in the days. Kinda like how cruise ships work today.

Lucky for them, I had already cleared out all the supermutants in there.

My grandparents honeymooned here in 1940 and I have a photo of them sitting at that exact pool from the opening. There used to be rafters. I grew up 20 miles away from this and my prom was held at the now-also defunct Kutsher's. The carpet is definitely supposed to be green.

My number one favorite resort I ever filmed. Nice to see it through your eyes.

Honestly guys, the past year or so has been really tough on me and has really broken down every shred of my spirits. Finding your channel and bingeing your videos have gotten me through so many difficult days that I’ve lost count. They helped me have some enjoyment in what would otherwise be very depressed days. Such amazing content and I love seeing the old life that was once there in these amazing locations, so as cliche as it sounds, thank you guys so much for helping me stay sane. Y’all are the real mvps! Can’t wait to see what videos you guys drop this year!

Unfortunately, there are several other abandoned resorts in the area. Additionally, several small bungalow colonies where the mother and kids would stay for the summer and the father would travel back and forth during the weekend. The travel vendors would stop weekly. Such as: the dairy man, the meat man, the clothes man. The colony would attract NYC residents. The colony would have an outdoor pool, ball courts, and an indoor pavilion. Kids would see each other every summer. Completely outdoor fun. I write from experience. I had the opportunity to indulge for two consecutive summers only for two full weeks each 1967 and 1968. This was the alternate to the Jersey shore. What fun, what adventure, what memories.

Is always super interesting as well as sad. I can’t stop thinking about the people for whom these places were their life. Like, the owners, the employees, people that formed a community around it. So sad. But absolutely nothing is forever and this is a reminder.

Please guys, as a construction worker who frequently does demolition, please use a respirator or a face mask in these places. Love you content, I want it to continue

Ok, the kitchen at 16:20 isn't 50s. It's 70s, as someone who lived through it, I'm glad you like the color. It's called harvest gold, and it was EVERYWHERE back then.

Man what memories.. I grew up in that area and worked the Nevele for a long time as a carhop/valet/bellhop/room service and wherever they needed me and i even lived on property for a while and it truly was a great time in my life.. It's so sad to see it like this now.. Back in the day it was truly an Awesome place to go

The first building you went into looked like staff quarters.

Wow. The ski/skating building could be renovated into a bomb wedding/event venue!

The 1st building you went into with all the beds and stuff more than likely, that's the staff quarters. That's why there was a refrigerator in every Room and books and videos. That's stuff you wouldn't find yo much in guest rooms, I'm thinking.

Just a suggestion for an exploration. The Glenn Dale Hospital in Maryland is a really good explore with a lot of ground to cover, 2 main buildings and multiple smaller ones. If y’all could visit there that’d be pretty cool.

i love how they use the door even if there is basically no door left.

watching this makes me remember how sad it is that when humans don't need things anymore they just abandon them

Pink ( RED ) is for Load Bearing Walls, yes, for DEMO charges. They may drill holes in, or they may just wrap around the columns, just they would need to demo out the wall around the column first. Also, once DEMO starts, it is clearly marked, and the charges and the wiring goes in the last day and night, before the morning of the DEMO My Uncle did this for a living in NJ, owned his own DEMO company. We used to blow up dynamite for the 4th of July.

It's so sad to see places like these rotting away ...and vandalized.

I toured the Nevele about 9 years ago, and the first building you toured was my absolute favorite. It was in MUCH better shape back then - very little structural damage. I’m pretty sure that building was last used as staff quarters, particularly during ski season. In several of the back rooms we found containers of literally hundreds of used syringes and other drug paraphernalia, so it had been pretty recently squatted in.

ELEVEN- NEVELE ! People used to hang Glide from RT 52 on The Mountain and they landed on the golf coarse. I Can Remember this place in the 1960s! Ellenville NY Rt 209

It amazes me that power was still on in that place. Also that things like skis, boots and stuff were just left in place like they left in a hurry. You always document these places with respect. Also your choice of music clips is so fitting. It's an eerie place and the music reinforces that. Good job.

Wow, love the 60s/50s architecture on this place. It’s really the last era of newer buildings with details in such buildings. Great video by the way!

You guys are so cooool I’m happy to be a Patreon wish I could go exploring with yas! It’s really nice to have content like this to watch while staying home.

I live 20 minutes from this. Glad you guys covered it. Theres alot around here to explore in the Hudson Valley.

that top level kitchen is early 70s my mom had the same one same colour had a shower and bathroom that matched it as well

This friday night can’t get any better, i am eating chocolate and watchin’ my favorite to watch: the proper people ❤️

The Nevele has a number of exploring videos on here, but Proper People predictably set themselves apart with their camera work and narration.

I love the Nevele!! It is absolutely my favorite abandoned resort. The tile indoor pool, the ice skating rink, the marble bathrooms in the penthouse and the original building are beautiful. So sad to see it deteriorating more every video, but so glad it's still standing. Some day it won't be, and on that day I will cry.

I watched Bright Sun Films' film on this place and couldn't wait till y'all did this!

Hard to believe that this place was still open until 2009 with all the old tv's, fittings and everything. Looks like it was abandoned in the late 80's. Great vid as always guys, maybe should have had masks for this one though

The round building/tower reminds me of the Capitol Records building in LA

Eating Curry and watching the proper people on a Friday evening, what could be better?

Ive heard of this place. Thanks for sharing this amazing place with us

I worked here. We used the system on the basement stairs to hang guest dry cleaning because the laundry was in the basement. Concierge would keep it organized like a normal dry cleaners and that's where we'd go to pick up a guests cleaning and bring it back to them at their room.

Surprised so many of those skates and ski boots were left, they aren't exactly cheap.

those targets on the wall are laser scanning targets, probably scanned to create accurate 2d drawing plans.

Those little targets on the walls are for surveyors, so that they can measure the building and see if it's sinking or collapsing.

That housekeeping staff needs stronger leadership. Fire the manager.

Nevele commercials would run 24x7 in the 70s and 80s when I was a kid. Every so often the music would pop into my head. Always wondered what happened to the place.

It's like a Fallout location. It would be cool to see you guys match up old photos to the place as you're walking through it. Great video.

The rack you guys saw in the basement was most likely for laundry.

A certain BSF Channel covered this location. Its amazing to see how its changed in a (presumably) short time.

Yo I had my Senior class Trip there. Had a good time. May not have been as much to see but my room had the hook ups for snacks and drinks. Used to he AC as a fridge and the closet as a snack pantry.

These guys have that Scooby Gang instinct. They find an old abandoned building and just go for it. One of these days, they’re going to find someone in a mask trying to run a real estate scam.

Seen lots of other explorers here, but nobody does it like you guys !!!!

10:10 - That's not mold, it's Stardust! Why do you think they call it the "Stardust Room"?

2009 is 11 years ago, god i'm getting old.

On my roster of abandoned places I'm obsessed with is the Nevele. You guys within the first 5 minutes cover spots I've never seen before. Your appreciation to detail is bar none the best. AWESOME VID!!!

It's crazy to watch you guys explore somewhere that I've also explored. I've been watching you guys for years and seeing the overlap feels like deja vu or something.

Woo! What an awesome way to spend my birthday: watch The Proper People.

To anyone wanting to explore: I live 20 minutes from here. You can't just walk up to it. There's an active hotel next door with security that calls state police if they find you on the cameras

god, what a beautiful place. I adore the 70s designs all throughout, and i really wish i could have seen it in its prime. The whole place has so much character and charm, and i feel like too many modern buildings are basically copy pasted from one another.. Such a shame to see such incredible places rotting away

Echo's of a past of now in solitude and sadness with the sorrow inspired music makes me feel a lost energy.The laughter and fun all but a distant memory and that feeling only you guys can instill....peace dont let this be our future.....

Another fantastic video. Thank you for your content.

10:00 Yes, it was a black ceiling... I attended a talent show there in the mid 1990s. Will see if I can find the video.

Oh my God the track at 4:10 makes my heart melt. Talk about emotion! Great job guys. Really really enjoy your videos

I appreciate how real you guys are and how you give us the history of the place!

This Place must be sooo beautiful back in the Day.Great Video and Filming as always. Greetings from Germany XOXO

I`m eating peperoni, he tells us: "it smells like piss" Thanks for letting me know ;)

The Nevele song is stuck in my head. So much of the good shit has been demolished in the last few years. I was watching Catskill urbex vids 4-5 yrs ago when yt suggested I give PP a try.

The inside of that skating rink / ski lodge with the firepit just screams 70's.

I was literally just looking up the resort because I remember seeing the sign saying it was opening in 2020. Found a video of a before and after shot compilation, and here you boys are. Practically in my backyard. I would say check out the Raleigh but most of it is still open, and the Concord looks like there's a bit left but it's deeper into the property and I don't want to be liable if y'all get hurt. The stairways have rotted away and it hurts to see such beautiful architecture not be preserved.

12:20 the circles taped to the walls indicate load bearing points and where they will drill for explosives.

I love that conversation pit in the lift lodge. That whole building is what my mcm dreams are made of.

RNK All Day explored this place a couple of years ago. It's amazing how much HASN'T changed in that time, considering the constant water intrusion and vandalism. I don't think the walls had the pink & orange spray paint like they do now. Nice video guys!

I've always wondered why there are so many things left in some places, like they even didn't care to pick it up, and some of them are pretty pricey...

always happy to see a new upload form the proper people, I would say this channel needs/deserves more subscribers but they have a fair amount even then I think a few million more would be justified, no click bait mature content enough said ima enjoy....... keep up the boss work boys 💪👍👌

This! This is what makes the Proper People special. A very novel exploration and a wonderful examination of a unique visual space! Keep it up, fellas.

Amazing video guys. So my father is a recently retired broadway musician who has had a pretty extensive career including going on tour with musicians all over the world. I just showed him this video seeing as we live in NY not very far from the city. I said, does the ‘nevele resort ring a bell to you’ and his face lit up. He told me so many stories about playing such good music and having such memorable experiences about this place and then we sat down and watched this video together. He’s got really fond memories of this place it’s sad to see it in such a state, it really hit him I could tell. He hasn’t laid eyes on the place in probably 30 years.

6:16 bless you

Even though I know it’s not always a good idea to share the location I enjoy getting a name so I can do a deep dive into the history of the place after watching the video 👍🏻

I know not to take anything from UE sites, but I don’t think I’d been able to resist taking one of those maps home and hanging it on my wall. Incredible video, it’s just like a Silent Hill area. I wish there was places like this in my country but they’re always very quick to demolish abandoned places here.

I love reading the comments attached to videos that are about the resorts in the Catskills, as some individuals share their personal experiences there. There is an entertaining 4 part series called, 'Memories Of The Catskills' hosted by Joel Siegel on KZfaq, gives some great Borscht Belt history!!

The "Stardust Room" is a surprising title, Hoagy Carmichael was one of the few major Tin Pan Alley composer that wasn't Jewish.

That yellow colored kitchen is called Harvest Gold. Avocado Green was also popular a few decades ago as well

man you guys really make detailed, well recorded videos with great information about the places you explore, i really enjoy your videos!

Some incredibly beautiful examples of mid-century modern architecture there.

There is a turtle 2:00 in the swimming pool, cool! :-)

When my son is at his grandparent's, I take shots every time they say "maybe" in their videos. Love this content and how respectful you two are of your environment and those you explore with as well.

The Proper People So Sad I remember Going by on Rt 209 when I was young going to Family upstate in Kerhonkson NY It had Lines of People going there in The Summer and Fall. It was Very Beautiful Back then.

YES!!! When I see Proper People, I upvote and watch!

The color name you're looking for, for that kitchen, is "harvest gold", that's what the sales people called it in the 50s

City: "We need to come up with something to use this location as before it falls apart!" Someone: "We could turn it into a casino!" City: "In My ChRiStIaN nEiGhBoUrHoOd?!"

I've explored some of this place, my mom actually stayed here a few times back in the 70s and 80s.

Your videos are awesome. I loved the one power plant you walked through a couple years ago. They're all very professional and have incredible quality.

Noone gonna mention the turtle at the beginning?

"is there anything in here worth protecting". Maybe the lives of those that enter? 🤣

It’s amazing the things you guys find that could have been sold for a little extra money like the ice skates and skiing boots. The ice rink building looked like it was a nice place to go in the day.
