My wife and I recently planned a quick weekend getaway. We choose Pocono Mountain resort and spa for a couple of reasons. 1. Dog freindly. (They were very accommodating for traveling with our four legged member of our family.) Close to other things in area we have done in the past. (Everything seemed to be around 25-30 minutes which we didn't mind with the wonderful Mountain veiws) 3 reasonable price This is not the Hilton so don't expect it. If grandmom said come stay at my cabin in the mountains this place has that vibe. The staff and owner are nice and very sociable. The place is far from perfect and dated but thats what gives it its character. We are already planning our next trip back we loved it.

Totally miss represented. Took 15 minutes to find someone to let me in to begin with. Piles of garbage on the property. If I hadn’t been so tired, I would have left. As there were only thin doors with no deadbolt or chain, I felt a little unsafe. To sum it up: a dump.

Nice Experience

There was a great view of the lake, a place for a bike ride. And a Park near by. Things in side where cozy, and comfortable.

I could not have been happier stepping back in time. The accommodations are commensurate with the price I paid. The relics and old world charm of this place can easily be compared negatively when put up against a chain hotel, but the experience was itself a part of the journey. I will definitely stay again

1. We had difficulty getting in- the front desk is not monitored full time, and we had no cell phone reception upon arriving, so it was very difficult to actually call for anyone to help us get in. You should make the wifi available to visitors even before they arrive. 2. The facility is a bit aged, which we can live with, but we discovered mice droppings on the second day, so we cut our visit short. It would be nice to be compensate for our second day!

The owner was very sweet and helpful. We spun out in the snow and needed a last minute place to stay. I felt so safe and welcomed at this place. He helped us out the best he could despite being in the middle of a snow storm. My boyfriend and I will forever appreciate all of the help the owner offered during a rough time

Beautiful resort and beyond kind staff. Though a bit far from shopping and gas stations the quiet space is what this offers. The Wi-Fi did go out on the tv for most of the night but everything else was enjoyable and didn’t personally bother me too much to have tech issues. Definitely recommend!

Too Cold for me who is a hunter of 50+ years.

Poorly heated. Large rooms with 4000 watt spaceheaters! Probable room temp 68 degrees. Not good after skiing or hunting in very cold days. Furnace appears to be partially dissambled and would cost a fortune. No staff on hand that I saw. Place was quite beautiful at one. Would not recommed.unless it was $50 anight

Good intentions but definitely not recommend.

So the owner was nice and the front desk personnel were friendly but people really need to know what they’re getting into before staying here. It is evident that the property was abandoned for many years and then reopened with little renovations. I’d compare staying there to camping in an old cabin - kind of musty, falling ceilings, random items in lobby drawers (20 year old printers and powered Alfredo sauce under the coffee pot). You can tell there are good intentions for the place, but they’re just not being fulfilled. There are no deadbolts on the room doors and judging by the striker someone could break in with ease. Definitely do not recommend unless you’re really looking for the bare minimum. We ended up going to the local Holiday Inn for our second night.
View from our patio.
I believe this is how you get TV in your room?
Most buildings are abandoned and falling apart on the property.
No door locks.
