It is so sad that they are tearing this place down.

Flowers in the living-room - directly growing there!

I once stayed at a hostel with real mushrooms growing on the bathroom-florr - unfortunately the hostel was still running...^^

Dig the stops resting on top of the sink - all those years back when you took these photos, somebody had already grabbed the copper!

it looks like it was just vacuumed

ur all wrong! its a commercial product made by benjamin moore called multi-spec. and guess what? they haven't made it since 1992

it must be hard to text from that phone

@kristi
A) Those were some pretty rude comments about Jews
B) What's the use of a homeless shelter in the Catskills? That's just stupid. Homeless shelters need to be in urban areas, you know, so homeless people can actually get to them
C) Why do you want to shove the homeless into crumbling, asbestos-filled death traps? That's not very nice...

Is this is the same Pines Hotel that Art Spiegelman mentioned was near his father's bungalow in the Catskills in Maus (part II)??? I'm pretty sure it is.... interesting.

So has anyone been here in the past few weeks or so? I am a photographer and would really like to get some shots of these abandoned hotels. Also my next question is is it safe to walk around i.e. falling ceilings unstable floors, bears, etc. Thanks for any help.

I grew up and still live near the Pines Hotel (and all the other abandoned hotels in the Catskills, NY). If you go on Youtube, there are a lot of videos with views inside the Pines, Concord, and other abandoned hotels of this area. I used to work at Kutchers & the Stevensville (Swan Lake Resort) as Head Lifeguard in the 90's. Kutchers is now a Hassidic camp in the summer. Lots of history still here, you just need a tour guide to find it anymore.

Rich no one could have put it better than that. To all posters on this site may you and your families be blessed with peace health and happiness in the coming year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas @ Sunnycroft, the Christmas Tree would be set up in the main house, the dual fire place would be lit and going, the snow would be on the ground, it was cold, but a fun kind of cold, that you would really enjoy, across the road from the side of the main house was an empty field that became solid lice, Mr. deMello and I would walk on that ice always thinking if it would cave it or not, we would also shoot Skeet over there. I think the little brat Scotty Schneider would sometimes hang with us. Anyway, it was a magical time of year @ Sunnycroft. There never was, never will be again anyplace like Sunnycroft Ranch aka Sunnycroft Ponderosa. Merry Christmas Everyone.
