They say it’s “like a cruise on land.” Since we’ve been on several cruises, we know what that means, and you’ll find it here at Woodloch Pines - when you’re not outside enjoying the beautiful Lake Teedyuskung and more than 1,000 acres in the Poconos, you’re inside watching a Broadway-style show.

Or else you’re golfing on the 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course, competing in the regularly-held Family Olympics, water skiing, bumper boating, flying down the Mountain Slide, relaxing on the beach, playing paintball…we could go on and on. And so can you at Woodloch Pines, which is the idea. It’s a family retreat in any season, complete with a range of accommodations to go along with all the Pocono Mountains activities. Which isn’t to say it’s not good for meetings, too. All of these activities apply equally well for corporate teambuilding, with a variety of meeting rooms and venues to make it complete. But it’s really something intangible, something they call “the magic” of Woodloch, that makes it special. Perhaps it has something to do with the idea of 50 years (51, actually, as of 2009) of family-owned resort development.

Highlights

Family-style meal service is provided at a variety of Woodloch dining venues including the Inn and the Main Dining Room. Traditional and non-traditional American Plans are provided.

Related activities

Woodloch Pines is near five well-known ski areas including Camelback and Big Bear, as well as several horseback riding operations such as Rainbow Farm and Triple W.

Getting there

Woodloch Pines is just a two- to three-hour drive from New York City. Take 95N to Exit 21. Follow Rt. 287 to Tappan Zee Bridge. Get on Rt. 87N (NYS Thruway). Follow 87N to Exit 16 at Harriman to Rt. 17W (I-86W) to Exit 121W to Rt. 84W toward Port Jervis. Remain on Rt. 84W to PA Exit 46 (formerly #10). Continue approximately 13 miles. Turn right at the Exxon Station onto Rt. 434N to Rt. 590W. Follow it 3.6 miles to intersection. Continue straight approximately 1.4 miles to the main entrance.

Maybe what we’ve heard the most about the Poconos is how romantic it is. This is due, in part, to the fact that the famous champagne glass hot tub was invented here at Cove Pocono Resorts. That was in the 1950s, but today Cove Haven is still leading the way with a very modern take on romance.

In fact, Cove Pocono Resorts might be the last, and the best, of the original Poconos resorts that paved the way for a generation (at least!) of romantic getaways. The champagne glass and heart-shaped hot tubs are still here among its tremendously varied themed suites. But nowadays, you’ll notice something a little different and new and X-citing here. The X is on purpose. The new entertainment concepts with names like Xcitement, Heat and Blush incorporate a multitude of new restaurants, products and activities. Xcitement, for example, includes adventure packages for snow tubing, whitewater rafting, auto racing at Pocono Speedway and more, all with the help of your CXO - that would be Chief Xcitement Officer, which anywhere else would be reduced to a simple tour leader. This is modern romance you’ve got to try!

Highlights

Cove Pocono Resorts’ entertainment venues regularly host big-name acts such as Wildfire Band and comedian Rich Ramirez.

Getting there

Cove Pocono Resorts consists of three separate resorts in three separate locations. Cove Haven is in Lakeville, PA; Paradise Stream is in Mount Pocono, PA and Pocono Palace is in East Stroudsburg, PA.

Related Onsite Offerings

Every room is romantic at Cove Pocono's three separate resorts, but you can choose a themed suite to match your mood - Romans, Egyptians, Greek gods and goddesses and even the Garden of Eden are right here!

It’s known as the “Grand Lady of the Poconos,” and if that conjures up images of royalty, history and rare period furnishings from the early 1900s - well, you’d be right. And you’d also be right if you decided that the Inn at Pocono Manor was a terrific place for a fun-filled Poconos family vacation.

That’s because the inn, which opened in 1902, has just about every activity that’s been invented since then. Here, you don’t just go golfing; you golf on either of two 18-hole championship courses that have hosted the likes of Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer and lots of other legends much older than we are. If you want to go horseback riding, you do it courtesy of the Pocono Clydesdales of Pocono Manor Stables. Naturally, there’s a spa - the Laurel Spa, with 20 treatment rooms and amazing décor. That’s in addition to a long, long list of sports, guided tours involving ATVs, sleighs, bocce balls and much more. For lodging, choose from elegant, historic rooms in the original inn, lodge rooms at the Spruce/Laurel Lodge or rooms in the eight-story tower - the tower!! - at the Inn at Pocono Manor.

Getting there

From New York City, take I-80 West from the George Washington Bridge to I-380 North. At the first exit (Pocono Exit 3), turn right and follow the signs to the Manor.

Fun facts

The first nine-hole golf course opened at the Inn at Pocono Manor in 1911, and the famous Donald Ross-designed East Course was completed in 1927.

Related Onsite Offerings

Accompanying the 36 holes of championship golf are a driving range, two practice putting greens, a restaurant and the Greg Wall Golf School.

You can tell it from the name: The Woodlands Inn is, well, in the Pennsylvania woodlands. Manicured grounds and a trickling stream give it a calming ambience. But there are plenty of secret perks to staying here, which is why it gets our #7 pick. So what are these secrets?

Many resorts have Jacuzzis, but not like this one: The Woodlands Jacuzzi holds 17,000 gallons of water! You won’t awkwardly brush legs with strangers in that. With wood paneling and potted trees, the Jacuzzi room has a truly organic atmosphere. For dinner, watch Japanese chefs cook tableside at the hibachi-style steakhouse. Or try one of Crescenzo’s gourmet pizzas, baked in a wood-fired brick oven. And for nightlife – three after-dinner venues. Choose from the intimate Executive Lounge with live music, the outside Club Havana, or the Evolution dance club. Each room at the Woodlands has a unique, breathtaking view of the Poconos plus beds with French duvet comforters. Relax at the Woodlands’ spa. Let the concierge schedule a tee time at the nearby Jack Frost National Golf Club, voted in the top 20 new golf courses by Golfweek. The Woodlands Inn is a quiet resort with some pretty exciting secrets.

It’s tough to budget for the stuff you actually want to do these days - like go on a Poconos vacation, for example. But that’s where Fernwood Hotel and Resort can help you. It’s got a diverse selection of accommodations and things to do, you can’t help but find the getaway that’s right for you.

There are about 900 rooms here, for one thing, and we think nearly as many activities. The Fernwood Golf Course offers 18 holes and up to 6,174 yards of par 71 golf, and the 10,000-square-foot Game Zone Arcade is great for the kids (or, ahem, adults who love arcade games). There are eight pools here - yes, eight - plus the Camelbeach Waterpark is right nearby. Or, jump into a bumper boat in the small lake right in front of the hotel. The onsite Event Center hosts live entertainment for a large range of audiences. Three themed restaurants provide a similar range of dining, from fine to casual; there’s also the Fernwood Food Court for quick snacks any time of day. And for your lodging, you can choose a traditional hotel room, a suite or a spacious villa from studio to two-bedroom.

Split Rock Resort is a playground. It doesn’t matter how old you are, who you bring or what you most like to do on a Pocono Mountains vacation; if you like to play instead of work once in a while, Split Rock is the place for you.

There are more features, amenities and activities here than perhaps anywhere else in the Northeast. The fun starts at H2ooohh!, the onsite, indoor waterpark, where you’ll find all kinds of scarily-named slides like Viper, Pirahna and Amazon Blast. There’s also the Komodo Dragon, one of the only reptiles that will eat you for lunch - no, actually, in this case it’s Pennsylvania’s first indoor FlowRider surf simulator. Golf, anyone? The Split Rock Golf Course offers 27 holes of world-class golf, complete with GPS-equipped carts. We haven’t even gotten to the bowling alley or the first-run movie theater, or the vast array of indoor and outdoor sports. Suffice it to say that, even when the economy is tough, things are still easy at Split Rock Resort.

Highlights

Did we mention the beach? It’s a wonderful family-oriented stretch of sand on the peaceful Lake Harmony. With a 100-slip marina, of course.

Getting there

It’s a two-hour drive from New York City to Split Rock Resort. Take George Washington Bridge to Interstate 80 West to Pennsylvania Exit 284. Make a right onto Rt. 115 and then a left onto Rt. 940 West. Follow signs to Split Rock Resort.
