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!

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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

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!.

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!

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!

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. :(

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.
