Abandoned Vacation Homes - Forgotten Summer Getaway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2018
- This location is very odd, yet interesting. This was found by scanning google maps in an area that we planned on filming. What looked to be an abandoned neighborhood turned out to be much more. Unfortunately i dont have details on this location but from what we can tell, this looks to be an old Vacation Home Resort. Where guests would rent out houses for the summer time. It looks like it had its own bus service, swimming pool and recreation areas. By the looks of the decay, i would guess that these have been abandoned for over 15-20yrs. Enjoy
Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

If you want us to return to check the other houses, give this video a thumbs up.
I always wonder how much it would cost to buy plots/land like these. That need so much work.
This looks more like 30-40 yrs abandoned, by look of decor and age of trees in the pool and such. Very cool find.
I half expected you to find Patrick Swayze giving some teenager "dance lessons"! Awesome explore!
Haha
Haha, I was thinking the same...lol. Definitely some kind of resort
wow ! I thought of the Patrick Swayze scene to,and the porch! it really did look a whole lot like this place!
The time of our liiive..🏕
someone went to that place. it's on youtube somewhere. the lake is completely gone, it's all underground now, not dried up. the place is abandoned.
JP, Even with limited time, limited light, limited battery, you still managed to put out a good video. Though you panned the camera faster than you would've liked, it was steady. Didn't make me dizzy. : ) Loved that second house of stone. The outside was super charming. The piece of furniture in one of the last houses was made in the 1960's, made in the French Provincial style. It's a desk, part of a whole bedroom set, for any young girl lucky enough to have one. Can't wait to see the rest of the place. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words.
This place is cool and very odd but it reminds me of an old Girl Scout camp I once was at for a week during the summer when I was a kid in Iowa !
Nancy Petersen yea i think it was a Girl Scout camp. Feminine hygiene products give it off
I'm glad that ppl like u film these places..sooner or later someone will tear places like this down ( no insight)...
So sad these once vibrant places are just left to rot! Love your videos!
I enjoyed your video and your narration, well done. Don't change your style
Thanks so much
JPVideos where was this located
I just saw this on another UA-cam channel last night. They called it a resort but not many do research like the two of you do. Great explore hope you find history. Thanks for sharing
Curious as to what channel?
Exploring with rick and bekah #122
What must have been a lovely place to escape. Love the woods and nature. Great find!
You have found some of the neatest abandoned places. Thanks for sharing. Always be safe! It reminds me of a summer campsite.
Thanks Amy
Definitely go back and explore some more, especially if you can find out more about the place so you put everything into context. And I think your narration and style of filming is just fine!
I will try to get more info for a return trip over the winter.
The fire places are so incredible... The outsides are pretty with all the vines covering all the grey wood. It looks like a mountain cabin resort nice in its day !
these were beautiful at one time. and the fireplaces are to die for.
And so they did.
I noticed a GFCI wall jack near the last house that you explored. I think it was in the house with the vanity/cupboard furniture. I thought that was a modern item required in houses. I did a little research and they started being installed in house starting in 1971. But the first few years they were installed on the outside near pools. That GFCI circuit I think was in a bathroom/kitchen area. You were trying to get a handle on maybe abandoned dates. Maybe look up when those gfci circuits were required in that area or your state. Good video. It doesn't take long for houses or structures not maintained to go to pot. Looks like it was a cool place to be for summer. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for that info.
This is like my 3rd or 4th video of yours I've seen, and I think you do a fabulous job! You pan the camera at just the right speed so we have a moment to focus in on what's there- And you have steady hand! I think you're very tuned into your audience being mindful of the lighting and narrating the what's, why's and who's of the place your investigating. I love the adventure you allow us to go with you on.... I plan on watching them all! :)
Thanks so much emmie
Judging by the tile in the bathrooms and the craftsman architecture style, these may have been built in the 20’s. The wealthy people of that time could really afford such a lifestyle as resorts. It also appears that no modernization took place after the 60’s or 70’s, judging by the orange and green curtains. In the last building shown, where the fireplace had been capped off, some renovating had been attempted. This was new build with sheet rock instead of plaster, some larger rooms were being converted to several small rooms, and the fireplace was being clumsily eliminated by capping it off. The woodwork around those doors looked 70’s ish, certainly nothing like the woodwork in the original houses. It would be interesting to know some history, like who owned that land and who owns it now. Info like that is public. There were no modern safety features, such as fencing around that pool. And I doubt a new facility would even be allowed a deep pool due to liability. Too bad so much has been lost to “progress.”
There were no documents left around, no names anywhere and no address to this place. Only shows up on google maps as a large wooded area.
I think you would have to go to the county seat. If the land went back for back taxes, the county would own it. It could possibly be up for auction at some point, to maybe a developer, someone with tons of venture capital. Anyone, someone at the county land office would know. Land is not owned by no one. Someone owns it. I don’t have any idea the location or I would search myself. Trees suggest the north east section of the USA, but that’s my only guess, lol. I guess it could be the southeast, but those trees seemed too familiar to this yankee to be in the south. Lol
I also dont want to go bringing attention to myself or the location incase there's some legal matter going on with it. Something's are better left to the imagination.
So strange! This is an amazing find!
That stone fireplace!!
Enjoy the tour of the 8 houses. I just love them when you do that its such a joy to see old houses and furnitjure and how its layed out. Very private areas of the houses. really crazy that those abandonded houses would all be In a cluster like. Love them, great work JP
I bet it was a happening place back in the day! Peace and quiet then and now. Thanks for your videos and pictures.You do a great job!
I like your talking 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve commented before that I like how descriptive you are.
My guess is probably a BnB or some kind of travel timeshare
Thanks Sadie
Sadie Wayman BnBs and time shares were pretty much unheard of in the 70’s.
I’m just now coming back to watch, and actually like videos lol Thanks for sharing all the great explores with us!
Thanks for the 👍🏽😁
Great video! Such a cool find, and I really enjoy your narration and your style of filming. Thank you!
Thanks Jamie
I love your videos. You are so respectful of the property and items therein. Not to mention you find such phenomenal places. Thank you so much for the hours of entertainment. Im making a list of about 5 channels I plan on supporting you guys are number one. Keep safe and keep up the awesome work. Much love from Bakersfield CA. 😘
Thank you for the Awesome comment Colleen. If you haven't done so already, check out my abandoned remains playlist. It has all of my abandoned videos.
I metal detected here and only found a couple of pennies. Lots of trash everywhere. Think it was cherry picked years ago. It’s a cool place to visit.
I think we are the only two channels to ever film it. Google maps works wonders.
JPVideos Do you live in the Tri State area? I live in Elkton Maryland, so I’m close to P.A. & Wilmington DE (or just Delaware in general haha) & the one video you posted of that abandoned farm house in Ocean City, I was like, O wow I’m only about 2 hours or less from there! I’m also a abandoned house explorer myself, I don’t tape anything, but I always want to know where I can find some abandoned places near me, & I see you said you use google maps. I never thought to use that & it seems it works! (:
Im in Pennsylvania. I was on ocmd for 2 weeks last month. I found 3 locations in Berlin. The house you watched and then i have 2 more locations coming out this week. If you're ever interested in exploring, let me know.
Exploring with Rick & Bekah miss your videos!
meredith evans "
I just binched watched your latest videos, and they were awesome and very interesting. Thanks for the entertainment!
Beautifully filmed and beautifully narrated....great video!!
Omg I explored this a little over 2 years ago I knew it looked familiar !! The stairs in the house with the top and bottom looking barn door were so steep and so hard to climb lol. The little houses were used to House the councleors and I think the bus route took them to a neighboring resort (I won’t name names ) and I THINK one of the houses was called Thornhill...my friend that I went with knew more information I’ll have to ask them if they rem anything else
I've driven by this place quite a few times en route to one of the casinos in PA. I never knew what was up that long abandoned road since all you can see are the stone pillars on either side of the entrance and nothing that's up the hill. Guess I must've somehow missed this video back in September. Just emailed JP yesterday about it cuz I didn't know they had already done this video.
I bet the summers were full of fun and good food and memories. Winters too since a fireplace in every home. I could almost see them in the pool. Your videos are the best and your narrative as you go along. I have watched many abandoned type videos and yours are the best.
Thank you 😊
Loved every minute watching this. Thanks!
Definitely has a resort feel. How I would love to see it back in the day.
Great find! The houses were everywhere and large. There is some nice furniture in there (old). -A quiet place in the woods
Very strange, but so interesting. Would love to know the history of this place
Love these videos, just wish you had more background information on some of the places you explore.. Very interesting and would be cool to know the details and history.
I always provide info on locations i film when information is available. This was a find on google maps that we werent sure still existed. Neighbors in the area were nosy as to what we were doing and it was getting dark. I was just happy to film it. Sometimes its fun to use your imagination as to its history. I do plan on trying to get more info on our return trip. Unfortunately there are no names and nothing tied to this place.
Yasssss! love it when you release long abandoned video content. I really enjoyed the spirit box and EVP meter ghost hunting. Hopefully you can find another good location soon for ghost investigation
Didnt do any ghost hunting here but longer videos and future ghost hunts will be coming out. Check out the abandoned slaughterhouse video if you didnt yet.
nice find mike!!! its like a lost town forgotten in the woods. I love the retro curtains. this place is probably built along time ago by looking at the stone foundation. I also notice the scrapers hit this place real hard all of the door knobs were missing, so im assuming they were brass unless they were the old porcelain ones those can go for some cash to the right person
Desolation and abandonedment, ...Thank you and stay safe.
Great video! I love these! I find it so interesting the things people leave behind and how time freezes in places like this. Thanks for sharing ✌️
Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you for documenting these places before they are gone. Each of your videos are so enjoyable.
Your videos came up after I watched a documentary on Frances Bouvier (Aunt Bee). Love them! Love seeing old houses.
Ty for watching
Love your videos; keep 'em coming! Enjoy your narration style throughout.
Thanks Kara
I love the stone house that would be awesome to rebuild and the seclusion and privacy is just wow.
Keep doing exactly what you’re doing! You have the best narrative and good filming. Thanks for showing this and stay safe!
💙
I would love to explore abandoned places in the woods y’all r so blessed to b able to do this!!!!
Gotta say, i love what i do.
I'm addicted to your videos!! I love that you talk! You're respectful and awesome!
Thanks so much!
What is the point in destroying things? Do vandals have to do it or else? I really wish there was a way for them to feel the worst pain imaginable just shoot throughout their entire body every time they break something.
Thats the exact reason i dont share locations. Too many people with bad intentions want to just destroy and gives people like myself a bad name.
More of them need to be caught and suffer more severe forms of punishment. Just because it's abandoned and or someone no longer owns or it's being neglected, doesn't give anyone the right to destroy it.
I agree 100%
There are two kinds of people in the world, those that vandalize, and those that don't. People who just vandalize for no reason must havea mental disorder.
The Crimson Shadow I see taking the things (not to sell but because u want to save them from rotting away) but yes there’s NO need to thrash the place
Really enjoyed this one. Sometimes the best finds are just ones you come across.
I like these ones cause it makes you use your imagination.
Love to see all of your explorers! Really fun to "go along" with you guys! Thanks so much. You are The Best Explorers ever!!
😁
It's really a shame what's happening in this area with the housing. There's so many unlived places that it's a sin. Many different reasons... from children inheriting and not upkeeping, to the Pocono housing boom where as a surveyor we couldn't turn enough angles and drop enough pins in to keep ahead of the builders, to older people on fixed income who can't afford to continue living in them, TO????
These used to be the thing in the 50’s, Tapering off around the early to mid 80’s. Would pack the family up and stay for the summer while dad traveled back and forth for work.
Would be a fun family getaway.
Screaming Tima is exactly right. When I was researching on the
Catskills I found out that other than the big resorts there were also places called kuchaleins (in Yiddish) or bungalow colonies. Google it, there is tons of information about them.
Fantastic explore. Please go back and film any additional building or details you fine. The last house appeared newer, and in slightly better condition. The interior is finished with drywall instead of plaster.
I noticed that as well. May do a live stream from here in the future.
Dear JPVideos, I wish, I Wish, I WISH I could go with you and share the excitement in person! We do disagree a bit about historical finds (like from back when I was a kid! Lol!) But you are a very knowledgeable explorer and your enthusiasm and attention to details really just makes me long to out there exploring with you! Thank you for sharing like you do! I LOVE IT!
disagreeing is part of life lol. If you're ever in my area, or in my travels, you should come with me.
I love watching your video's !!! I would love to explore like you guys do. Thank you,
Fran
Hey great find. Camp Resort for underprivileged families ? Thats a nice thought. I enjoyed it. Thanks. 🌹💟🌹
🙂👍
Welcome to camp crystal lake from friday the 13. Lol
Thats what some reminded me.
The cottages in the woods. Super creepy. Lol
Great video
Awesome find 😊👍
Ch ch ch ah ah ah
@@JPVideos81
Lol... 😊
It does look like a Friday the 13th camp. I bet if you ran out wearing a ski mask and a chain saw they would crap their pants.
thats exactly how i felt too watching this.. waiting for Jason to pop out on every turn lol
It reminds me of the movie dirty dancing was filmed. Great video 😊
I just recently started watching, love your videos, I like how you do not break and enter, and announce that you mean no harm/are there for pictures, most people break, in, and don't ever worry if anyone else is there, save for being caught
Ty, respect to these locations is important to me.
@@JPVideos81 The Urbex community could stand to learn from you
Those retro curtains really date the place while at the same time bring some life to the place. Curtains and electronics are the two things I like seeing!
Your videos are awesome! The narration is an excellent addition. You guys do a great job on the exploration and documentation of these abandoned places. Don't change a thing!
Thanks for the awesome comment keely
Besides the great videos, your voice is my second favorite thing about them. I love the sound of your voice. It's very soothing and your words are full of information.
Only wish i was a better speaker.
Are you kidding me? I love to hear you talk and you provide great info when you speak. I almost feel like I'm there trailing along beside you guys.
Thanks for sharing
Nice video.. Thank you 😍 ♥ for sharing... 🤗 😘 ✌️
Love the fireplaces and love, love, love the pool! Thanks for sharing JP.
You're welcome. Thanks for coming to check it out.
Those forest views are simply spectacular. Please don't change a thing. I love your videos.
You may not want to reveal the exact location, but I would have asked some of the locals what it was at the end of the video about what type of place this was. That would have made this video much better. None the less, it is awesome!!!
Given the time frame we had with daylight and uncertainty as to if anything was left. We weren't able to get any info. The neighbors we did see seemed very nosy and not approachable. We are planning a return trip and will hopefully have more details by then.
The "dresser" you found is a desk and it's missing 2 legs at the far left side. You also had the option of buying the matching mirror that would attach to the back. over the desk side and could then be used as a dressing (vanity) area. I had one of these that matched my chest of drawers, head board, foot board, bedside table and full length mirror. This was about 40 years ago for me and at the time I remember feeling like a princess!
The desk cabinet you discovered reminded me of an old sewing machine cabinet. The ewing machine would be put on top of the right side, and the material would rest on the left side.....Not sure, but it certainly reminds me of one my mother had.
I was watching this video and for some reason found myself watching a window in one if the house. You went back and forth 3 times on the outside, it's a upstairs window on the left side house, left side window, at the 10:41 mark it's the 3rd time you show the window and whatever is in the window moves. I rewound it twice and others saw it to. I'm not a ghost person but that caught my attention. Just wanted to share and btw thanks for your videos....love them!
Someone reportedly heard a bunch of voices (evps) in this video. Makes you wonder if something happened here.
Wow, just subscribed love this.
I'm a little addicted to watching abandoned video's had UA-cam on auto play and this came on absolutely loved it would be great to know the history, off to have a look at some more of your work.
Liverpool England 😊 oh yes and i skip past silent video's x
Haha, thanks
For me the woods are incredibly beautiful, living in Fl. as I do. I found it surprising that there would be a bus stop out there, it looks too removed from civilization. I would have loved a vacation/retreat in a place like that especially with that pool. You are in a very amazing area of the country to find things like this. I find this place to be wonderful in so many ways. Nice job!
ps: If you ever run across some squatters in these abandoned places I hope you keep filming them.
It wasnt a public bus stop. It was an (resort only) bus service to take guests to different spots within the town. More or less like a tram service.
Prob an internal bus system to get from one point to another🚌
REPEATING AGAIN BUT, THERES NICE FURNITURE AND THINGS LEFT TO THE SICK VANDAL MINDS.
ITS UPSETTING TO ME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, TAKING ME ALONG.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
These videos are interesting to watch I'm addicted to watching its fun learn the history of the homes .
I love the narration too. Don’t change!!🤗
Just subscribed to you, enjoy your abandoned finds, keep them coming. :)
This just showed up on my Recommended list! I started watching your videos in January of this year (2019), so I hadn’t seen it yet. Really awesome place!! Reminds me of church camp I went to when I was young. Each church had a house, we called them cabins. They had a kitchen, a small common/living area, then it was divided in half by a wall, boys on one side girls on the other. I didn’t notice any kitchens in these houses. Glad y’all got out of there safe. It was getting a little creepy and dark towards the end! Lol Great find Mike!! Very cool explore!! Stay safe out there!! 🏚🌲🚪🍁🍂
I think they had a main dining hall. Definitely a mysterious and unique place.
Man I would've loved to have had a summer home. They could donate it instead of watching it rot. Great find. Hugs from Oregon
Plenty to choose from
Amazing video, great location. I'm really curious about it.
Really makes you wonder the story behind this. Thanks JP and Mike loved it as always!!!!
Thanks for watching
Love the opening JP! Awesome job on this exploration
Awe video JP and mike.love it
Great video J! I like it when you narrate and tell us what we’re looking at and the history behind it so thank you very much for another great video thank you for sharing 😁💕
Thanks elna
Nice narration 👍 Thanks for another great video!
Great share!
Here's hoping otternotsonice found a hobby. My goodness!
I love your videos- keep on being you! Xo
Here's hoping who?? Found a hobby? Lol
Thank you so much for the video it was amazing to watch😊
.
I think a return trip would be cool
I agree!
Loving the video's lads. Cheers for bringing your fans alone for the ride, Absolutely love the pictures you put together also. 10/10 on all the video's IV seen so far...
Thanks my man
This place looks interesting. They liked the color pink that is for sure. I do like the stone work on that one cabin It is serene there be a nice spot to go camping in the area. Those curtains were from back when i was growing up like in the 50 60s I love the windows on that one, beautiful. thanks for showing it.
Its sucks when your running out of daylight and you have to triage what is filmed.
Great job!
Will hit it first thing in the morning next time.
I agree with several viewers that the white provencial piece was a dressing table. I noticed none of the houses had kitchens. My family used to go to Keener Springs in SE Missouri that was very similar to the resort in "Dirty Dancing". A summer camp with cabins that had two bedrooms and a back porch that served as a kitchen. Old ice Boxes for keeping things cold on the porch, a stove and a sink and table and chairs. But they also had a central 'lodge' type building where you could go for your meals if you didn't want to cook. Music and dancing in the evening like in the movie. But Patrick Swayze was not in attendance. Getting back to thing place I do believe if you toured all the buildings you might find one large 'lodge' where meals were served and activities we offered. But if all the bedrooms are original it was definitely a tourist camp. Perhaps whoever put in the GFI and tried to modernize it in other ways took out the kitchens (but no sign of any kitchen furniture except one lone chair?).
Anyway, I really like your videos and wish I could go along with you as I love old abandoned houses, etc. and very rarely get a chance to stop and look should I run across one.
Keep up the good work, these are very nice.
Always take the time to stop and look. You never know what you'll find.
Another good one, guys. This place reminds me a lot of a gated community we lived in my teens, every home was in the woods, peaceful like. Had two big lakes, baseball/football field, and a golf club. I used to find Civil War relics in my back yard, litterly. Only issue was the ticks.
I can almost bet this place is bad with ticks and mosquitoes.
Dear God, you skipped every single vintage bathroom! They were pink too!! We really love that vintage stuff you gloss over.
Sorry
@@JPVideos81 Lord, I should have added a happy face as I just re-read my comment and it didn't come across with a smile as I had intended. LOL. I was over here drooling over the vintage bathroom decors.
Great video for a stumble upon. Reminds me of summer camp when I was a kid. Your unidentified furniture piece is a desk like the ones used in motels in the 60's. When they remodeled them, they would sell off the furniture.
Thanks
Another great video, keep up the great work, man!!...I'm hooked!!
I like it when you find the pools too ~~ don’t really know why !
Great find! I love all your explorers and your narratives. Don’t change a thing!
Thanks so much.
Love your vids and your narration.
I like your narrating AND you need to be wearing a mask for all the mo. I love all the homes you pick to explore. I use to do urban exploring when I was a kid, it brings back memories
I have a mask now
Awesome location and video. I enjoy your narration.
Ty
I like the Pennhurst shirt. I go there every year. So fun. Great video! I'm glad I found your channel.
Im glad you found it too
