The Catskill Mountains in New York are still a popular vacation destination, although this former resort is no longer the luxurious escape it once was.

Grossinger's Catskill Resort in Liberty, New York, has been abandoned since the 1980s. The hotel first opened in the early 1900s, although it really took off in the 1950s. In its heyday, the resort had a swimming pool, golf course, ski slope, and theater, offering amenities for every season.

However, after the resort's owner died in 1972 and the property was sold to a hotel developer, plans to renovate Grossinger's fell through and the resort fell into disrepair. Today, the property is fenced off — though that doesn't stop urban explorers who want to sneak a peek at what remains.
