The Poconos-the Perfect Weekend Getaway

Why choose the Poconos for the perfect weekend getaway!

Need a change of scenery? Enjoy mountain fresh air? Then the Poconos are calling! This destination is in close proximity to Philly, New York and Newark. In under 2 hours, you can enjoy four seasons of fun. Post World War II, tourism pioneers began opening attractions and accommodations for honeymooners and skiers to experience the natural beauty of NE Pennsylvania. 

In the late 1960s, a large second home market developed in the Poconos. In addition, the growing interstate system offset the loss of railroad options to reach the “Honeymoon Capital of the World.” What makes the Poconos so romantic is the varied landscapes such as whitewater rafting in Weatherly or breezy stroll through quaint Jim Thorpe; major attractions such as casinos & waterparks; or a day of outlet shopping and fine dining in Lake Harmony. 

Finally, the most important part of the getaway is making great memories. The Poconos suits a couple with no kids to a rip-roaring family reunion. There are so many short-term rentals in every shape and size to provide your intimate or large group with a taste of home. Book early for homes with the key amenities of a private hot tub and pool or make a last-minute jaunt and grab that a new listing that just launched.
