Moonless night Inside STRICKLAND'S RESORT | Why This Honeymoon Destination Died

A couple of weeks ago I promised you to arrange a night exploration of creepy abandoned places. Here is first of them – an abandoned resort in Pocono Mountains. Today I spend the whole day searching forgotten coal mines in Schuylkill County. Have found a few cool locations and left them for long summer hiking adventures. On my way back home I decided to explore and film this place. Origins of the resort may be traced to 1909 when the Hawthorne Inn was built. The dining hall in the inn included a private table for each family and a large room for amusements. Nine bungalows, each with a living room, fireplace, bath, and two to six bedrooms, and a central dining hall, were added by Mary Chase Lockwood in 1914. Those years the resort was known as Hawthorne Inn and cottages. As well the locals called the place the Wiscasset Bungalows. Unfortunately, the inn itself was demolished in 2007 and we can’t explore it, but nine creepy suites still stand in neglect. Since 1932 the resort was under ownership of Reese LeRoy Dengler, a man who has earned the title “Mr. Pocono” because of his lifelong dedication to countless successful projects and the tremendous growth of tourism in the area. His list of accomplishments was really impressive. For example, he has served as chairman of the Mount Pocono Airport Authority for 22 years. He has served as president of the Pocono Mountains Motor Club, president of the Stroudsburg Rotary Club, president of the Pocono Mountains Chamber of Commerce and so on. After Reese's death, the property passed to his children, Joan Dengler Montgomery and John Morgan Dengler. In 1977 they sold Hawthorne Inn and cottages to Strickland's Resort. The name Hawthorne Inn was changed to Strickland’s Resort. The suites were renovated and some amenities like swimming pool and tennis courts were added. Between 1960s-1980s, the Strickland's Resort became one of the most famous Poconos resorts for couples who honeymooned here and it’s still incredibly important part of their past, regardless of its present state. During the research I stumbled upon tons of messages posted by persons who happily spent some time here in those distant years. The property was purchased by The Mountain Airy Lodge in 1983 and had been successfully managed until 1990s. In the late 1990s the situation changed. Many of the old Poconos resort properties started going downhill. The resort ran successfully until the early 90's when financial problems started to take their toll. In 1999 Strickland’s Resort closed and was abandoned due to bankruptcy and most of buildings were demolished in 2007. 00:00 Unknown abandoned building 01:47 Abandoned cottage 1 04:52 Exploring cottage 2 07:10 Cottage 3 11:16 Building of unknown purpose 12:06 Cottage 4 15:12 Cottage 5 17:10 Creepy abandoned pool --------------------------- I search and explore alone ghost towns, historic, abandoned, haunted places in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
