new species!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This bathroom is bigger than mine. I guess one of the downsides of city living.

love the carpeted ceiling...so cool...

ooo moss carpet, how lovely

Big Rock was a bell hop too

This is one of my many favorite photographed places on this website. The winter views, the green moss on the carpet, the awesome views shot of the various rooms and spaces creates a fascinating atmostphere of the place.

I use to DJ at the Pines on weekends for all the "City People" to party in the catskills. Also did some spinnin at the Chalet in the 80's. Great memories.....to bad they had to end... I did meet lots of beautiful tho...:)

now that it is summer the chairs are no longer there stacked up they alow paint ball tornamemts there now every thursdays and sundays its a shame i went in there and now the pool is filled with dirty water and there are all the chairs thrown in there its a shame what these people have done the jewish cant burn it down they wont allow it. i think they should just leave it. or mabey they should make it a homless shelter. its a shame what the jews are doing just because they need more property.

This is a comment related to Randy's comment about interviews done there for Schindler's List. One of the last summers' we went there, a film crew of Steven Spielberg's was there to interview survivors for his holocaust memory museum (or whatever it is called). There were a number of people sitting a a large table behind us.

We used to go there for many years with the family at the end of summer, before school started. My kids loved the place. I think before the fire, the roof caved in from the weight of snow. The owners didn't want to rebuild, but they couldn't get the insurance anyother way. It was not the same after that, and closed a year or two later. They charged separately for everything, including meals when they had to reopen. It's a shame that almost all of these hotels are gone.

I played my last Catskill summer at Kutshers in 2007. So many memories,but I don't linger on the carpets. Living in Nevada for the last 33 years, and still tootin my horn.

I don't think sliding down that rail would be a good idea hehe

The rooms were fine, everybody was young and excited to be there for the Sumer... musicians slept better but the social scene was fantastic !! Yet,,, in those days, nobody got kidnapped, girls hitch hiked, no was "kind of " no, but still rarely heard... it was pretty clean fun with lots of hanky panky. Those days, with some measure of innocence, are sadly gone.

That room. in the late 60's - 70's was the greatest !!! Compared to smaller hotels, this was first class, air conditioning, set seating and tables, levels so all could see, soundproofing puffy walls, I worked my first "big hotel" Summer job there in the lounge. That Summer, I saw Count Basie, and many other big bands and big names perform in that Showroom.... what a sound.....
