Report - Nevele Grand Hotel/Winter Sport Resort (Wawarsing, New York Dec 2019)

In its day this would have been the height of luxury, originally opening in 1901. Its name is eleven spelt backwards. Closed in 2009 as they hit financial problems, due to mismanagement. It quickly hit problems with disrepair "musty staircases and rooms, big and small, with odd smells wafting out of them." There is talk of it being redeveloped but I'm not sure as a ski resort, global warming means a lot less snow in this area.

A great explore, a days worth if you wanted to see it all. And with the fallen snow showing no footprints it was a relaxing one.

I've only added one in the images but one of my favorit

e explore activities is reading the old accident report forms. And being the USA their forms even have pictures

This one has always been on my to do list when in the Catskills but I've never managed to actually make it there somehow. It's in a pretty bad state now sadly although I did hear that earlier this year security was stepped up a little again.

Yes well worth a visit and unless you trust the source don't believe what people say about this place. We were told it was pointless to visit because it was being redeveloped. It wasn't and there was no security at all. But naturally they were just trying to protect the place. We only tried it as we were passing, lucky we did.
