We Stayed the Night at the Real Life Shining Hotel! The Stanley Hotel - Inspiration For the Shining

[@Gail_P]

Jenn, you nailed the scene with Jack Torrance. Great job!

[@allytebow]

Went on the last tour of the night in 2021, I caught the janitor in a picture down in his room in the basement. Caught him in the bathroom mirror, love this place so much! It is truly beautiful ❤

[@nashvillain2010]

Hilarious skit guys, you fooled me! Jenn played a meanie and scared me.

[@janiceevans]

Jen looks so good. You can tell she is getting healthy 🤗🥰

[@flyacow]

This looks like a fun video to watch. The mountains in the background look incredible.

[@louisplaat8984]

Me and wife stayed at a large haunted bed and breakfast in Saratoga NY and there was a snow storm so everyone else had cancelled so we were the only ones there. It was around holidays so it was pretty but def extra creepy.

[@krice72]

There's one thing about CO, it is very bright when the sun is out! Haven't been there with snow but I'm sure its blinding! 😎

[@mollyreaves5429]

My friend is a night watchman here. I’ve always wanted to see a tour of the place! Thanks for the video.

[@lizlocher3612]

Love Jenn's nails so art deco to match the scary bathroom colours, which is definitely Art Deco style, as is the fabulous elevator!!! Classy!!!

[@MG2000MDPHD]

Just the drive up to the hotel is amazing!

[@Iron-Van]

indeed

[@mindakochis]

I stayed in the Stanley before the renovations and it definitely had more of a creepy vibe. Glad you got to stay there! I adore Estes! Glad you’re enjoy CO! Definitely go stay at The Timberline Lodge, where the filming took place!

[@shenanigans5552]

The maze was filmed in London on a soundstage.

[@brendacorley6869]

From the opening approach shots (LOL), I knew this would be a great video!

[@MP-gm5gg]

The Over Look. Way cool! thank you, Jacob and Jen . The renactment scene was really good. Lol. Thanks.

[@theadventuresedge6771]

Jen has an awesome throwing arm and great aim! 😂😂😂 She really got you with the snowballs! 😀

[@danalynch8889]

Jen is the best part of this video, I love her throwing snowballs at you.

[@ruruo6890]

I love to see this wonderful heartwarming relationship between you and Jenn❤️

[@drea62279]

❤❤😂😂😂the laptop skit was superb❤❤❤

[@jevs402]

If the schedule allows, October is great for the haunted tour of the hotel and grounds. It’s really fun.

[@lesliegriffith9830]

He did make violins. Back in the early 80s, my mother and I attended a concert in the music room of the Stanley. 2 students from university of Northern Colorado were performing with 2 of the violins he made. It was beautiful. Thank you for this video. I remember the Stanley going way back to the mid 60s. It was really grand then.

[@kilo-watt]

Love the Stanley. Stayed there during a snow storm two years ago and it felt like being in the Shining.

[@Arnoldsunplugged]

Kayla and I did the haunted tour there a few years ago. 100% worth the trip.

[@SherryBennett-d5y]

Watching this video right now. Incredibly neat video! Thank you so much Jacob! Jenn you look so pretty! Have a great day!

[@cherylzamule888]

Hi Jacob and Jen 😊my husband and I must go to the hotel! I read the book but have not seen the movie. After listening to you I have to watch the movie! You are a great narrator. Thank you for taking us along. 😊

[@melissadiaries]

Jen wanting to kick the kid on the bike had me laughing forever lol what a fun adventure you guys had!

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

JENS QUITE PERSONALITY. I LAUGH SO HARD WHEN SHE SAID JACK NICKLESON WAS OFF WALL RIGHT FROM BEGINNING. SO FUNNY. .

[@rachel_espinoza]

I took a tour here! I loved it. Estes Park is one of my favorite places here in Colorado.

[@wizzwamf]

love you and jen together so cute

[@angelarowe3472]

Good morning; I love you two so much. ❤. You guys are so cute together and I love Jen. She reminds me. I’m always klutzy and getting into stuff that I shouldn’t and running into things.😮🥴. I enjoy your post videos. Thank you for sharing you take care and have a great safe day. Keep up the good work.❤️🫶🏻🤠

[@Hauntmaster15]

OMG who else was fooled by Jenn's performance for a second....I was so shocked 🤯👏👏👏

[@MikeWeiner]

Me! I fell for it 100%!!!

[@caminindogood3835]

You guys are so cute together! Great video!!

[@vikinggenie]

Longmont, CO is where my boyfriend has family ... So cool you all were there.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jenny Penny and Jacob. Awesome to see you both in the video. Thanks for sharing this.🤓🤓📸✌️ The Stanley hotel would be great to see in person. I would stay overnight there, it maybe expensive for one night.

[@lydiapurple]

Jen is a very convincing Jack Torrance 😂😂

[@lydiapurple]

Ps this is one of my favorite videos, love you guys❤

[@metalzombie6669]

Hey Jacob, you guys are about 45 minutes up the road from me, I'm in Loveland, Co., I don't know if u heard, the first Colorado Buc-ee's in Johnstown grand opening was yesterday, its off the I-25 and the 60, you guys should definitely check it out while you are here. I haven't been there yet, too crazy busy for me, I might go at midnight tonight. I watch you and Adam the Woo every single day.

[@carriesherman4757]

Love seeing you guys together! Four stars for the snowballs!

[@glennjudd2467]

What a amazing place ! Beautiful hotel ! You both had a ball ! Love it !

[@roxannmapes-clute4669]

Jen, you look amazing.

[@history_leisure]

237 could be a closet or laundry room. I know in some of my college dorms, they would use higher numbers for closets, laundry, and the toilet and shower rooms in my freshman dorm (it has a weird layout)

[@deborahchoi1149]

This was a really fun and funny vlog! Love you two together.

[@billyjettison]

You should visit the croak Patterson mansion in Denver has a list of haunted past. We used to drive by it as kids and would always see ghost and stuff. Now it’s a bed and breakfast. Would recommend seeing if you are still in Colorado

[@laurad7155]

Love this video!!! Always wanted to stay there. Thanks!

[@lauriemathon7074]

Great video😮Jen could be an actress❤😂

[@CCcastro336]

Great video. This place is amazing. Thank you for sharing this. The tour looked real good too.

[@Blessard23]

Love the video Jen is so funny Should have her in more of your videos Great job

[@Helene_M2019]

One of my fave places to visit. Loved the video thanks for all you do to bring us along.

[@silverghostcat1924]

Also, Doctor Sleep is a pretty good movie, as is the book. With Ewan McGregor as a grown up Danny Torrance.

[@Retromicky82]

NO TV AND NO BEER MAKE HOMER GO CRAZY!!!!

[@discostu5426]

Lulz....so true

[@victoriastrong9771]

Jen looks amazing in the gray outfit! That style is super cute!!! Great video with both of you as always!

[@themadness6018]

My wife and I stayed there 10 or so years ago and they had a channel with The Shining playing all night. Great movie to fall asleep to while we stayed there!

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video of you Jacob and Jenn keep up the awesome work and be safe out there and I'm glad you are having a great time with your family

[@Julie-ms9ss]

Great video, Jacob. ❤. Tell Jen I like her shirt. 👕

[@unicorn063]

Love Jen playing snow balls with you 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BigDJr777]

I live here in Colorado. I love that place. It said guests only upstairs. Something told me to go up stairs. So I did.

[@AnaGonzalez-yo9iz]

Hello Carpet Bagger! Jenn throwing snow balls at you and you calling her mean was funny! I was laughing out loud! I have actually watched parts of the Steven King's version of The Shining mini series. Anyway You and Jenn are great together.

[@bunnymomjulie6719]

How completely fun. Now I want to read the book too! I think I'd like that story better! I really love the green bathtub. I would totally fit in that thing. But spooky, and the number of people who have done weird things in that room would freak me out. I love the things in the gift shop made from the print of the movie carpet. Very beautiful place.

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

Did you see bunny man he he red rim red rum lol

[@paulfuryes203]

Great Great Great video guys that place is on my bucket list. Take care my friends and safe travels.

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Such a beautiful place! ❤

[@ksaucegti]

One of my top favorite movies. Love y'alls little recreations while staying there. Safe travels.

[@jeffreygonzales3603]

Just started watching Via the Woo! im now Subscribed!

[@phillipfaulkner192]

We will be there later this week.

[@jmorgan5252]

Thank you Jacob and Jenn I live about 50 miles from the Stanley and have visited many times, there was only one time I felt a presence and that was in the Ball Room

[@elsiegon7118]

🤣🤣🤣 I loved when Jen started singing “it’s Electric “, the Electric slide dance song.. lol. Hey Jacob and Jen, thank you for sharing another one of your great adventures.. creeped me out when i saw my name on the pet cemetery grave stone 😮😮

[@JaycRam]

Stephen King can say what he wants about Kubrick's movie, but he can't deny the kind of influence it's had.

[@SarahNGeti]

Stephen King makes bad, long and drawn out movies. Kubrick is a genius of cinema! Stephen needs to stick to only writing 😅 thats his genius! ❤

[@davidgerhardt5324]

In the Book he hits the kid while drunk long before ever going to the hotel. The movie didn’t make him violent it is in the first few chapters of the book king wrote himself. He is just changing his story over time to hide his own issues.

[@ichtyophobia]

I think that too. I think this story shows so much more. When people are isolated for mong periods the shadows of them selfs will show up. All those things they have pushed down will go up to the surface. I think this story showe that so well. I have a hypthesis of this movie. I see A guy who wants to give a shining. To look like a grate father, husband and writer. But he actually wants to party all night an meet other men.

[@willbusch5760]

The mini series is great definitely get a copy, I think the hotel sells copies, at least when I was there. It really features the hotel and I remember watching the series with my mom when it came out and I would dream of visiting that hotel one day. The actors who play Jack and Wendy are good, Jack isn't as intense lol.

[@jimmymelendez1836]

*definitely

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

LOOK MOVIE is great! so far its been safe and has everything i have searched for even 50s movies

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Jenn is cute as a button! 😊 I love how much fun ya'll have together. Great pair! ❤ Ya'll have fun 😃

[@jenren024cma4]

Love Jen's outfit. Love that Grey top.

[@jpskellington6195]

Very Kewl! My aunt was snowed in there with Motley Crew back in the 80"s. I actually have a dvd cooy of the newer addition of The Shining.

[@dragonosx]

Perhaps an 84º hotel room may help explain Jack Torrance's behavior... I mean I can't say I'd be chasing people with an ax, but it'd be close.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

May I, for a moment, change the focus of our story today. A young couple decides to go on vacation and bring their young son with them. They decide to drive to the Stanley Hotel. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crosses the young wife's face. "Ooh, let's bring along little Mortimer's tricycle!" she says. "That'd be so great!" The young husband gazes upon his lovely wife. "That's why I fell in love with you," he tells her.

[@MattTheLizard]

All Jacob and Jenn videos make Matt a happy boy

[@themagicalcapricorn]

This has been my favorite video of your! I just got back from the Stanley hotel! Love it

[@elf5012]

I agree with you, Kubrik's version of The Shining is one of the best horror movies ever made.

[@SarahNGeti]

Yes!!!!!

[@alliekuma4234]

You guys are hilarious. I'm glad nobody broke into your room with an axe. 😊

[@lemn8]

Very nice of you Jacob to pretend you saw a boy on a tricycle just to keep Jen calm. But you and I both know she has the ability to "Shine"😅. ❤

[@lisaelms1392]

Back in the 90's my cousin Ron ran the Stanley Hotel. He ran it for 10 years. Yes, it is haunted. His two younger sisters stayed the night in room 217 and they had the blanket taken off them while they were sleeping. The coffee table flipped upside down. They ran out in the middle of the night and didn't go back. Someone from the staff had to go in and get their things. My cousin has lots of stories.

[@peytons.sawyer1731]

I know that they sell dvds in the gift shop at the Stanley I bought the miniseries of The Shinning their. So hopefully you can find the dvd in the gift shop

[@lizlocher3612]

You are sooo right about the layout if the Hotel not making sense, n some of the hallways ARE CREEPY!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger n Jenn.

[@kimsinclair9100]

Fun video and great information on the hotel and the movie.

[@Murkoph]

"This maze isn't for snowballs, Jen! It's for killing your family!" XD

[@loravaloo55]

Love the long intro. Thanks!!!! ♥♥♥♥

[@abigailgoltz1181]

I literally saw you there today, I wanted to go up and say hello but I was on the tour lol

[@carmensmithaguirre3049]

Hahaha oh my gosh the bit with Jen typing!!😂

[@dianachurch3408]

I'm enjoying u two and the xnowballs😂

[@SpookyAppalachia]

Hey this is so awesome! Adding it to my bucket list of places to go and possibly film on my channel too@

[@dennisk2982]

Suddenly I have a craving to watch the Shining.😂, love your Videos.

[@bayfox1235]

Omg my favorite movie. Jack N. Best I tried to watch the mini series but just couldn't get into it.

[@LonelyGrandmaMary]

Hey Jacob, love your videos! I did a search and found that version of the shining on Amazon for $14.99. Hope that helps you.

[@Gemashke]

That is hilarious about the little kid on the tricycle! Ha ha ha!!

[@Adventures-with-Mel]

😂All work and no play makes Jen a dull girl.. 😂 You two are the best.. You didn't see the twins at the end of the hall, did you? 😬🥶

[@creedysgirl]

I have the DVD of the 1990s Shining. One of my favorites.

[@michellelilljack5514]

Wow. ..nice way to talk to him.

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

I want to stay there. Is it weird to say I fell the entry through your video.what a beauiful hotel so haven't the hubby check into this

[@RoseTintMyWorld-cr5zo]

SO COOL!! The Shining is my favorite horror movie too! I loved the scene you guys remade 😂Jenn did a great job, but she's so sweet that even in that stern voice she is nowhere near Jack Torrance levels of mean LOL

[@dianadelahaye7660]

Beautiful hotel😊Oh no, their first fight.!😮

[@TheHorrorFan88]

I love both the Kubrick version and the mini series….you definitely need to watch it!

[@XenobiaWolfMoon2]

When I was a kid I accidentally but my hand on an electric fence. I barely noticed it. It was just light pulsing through my hand.

[@davidditter5219]

You guys are the best. Loved the video but the ending was so good with the story of the boy in the tricycle.
