Poconos
Honeymoon
Do you know
why the Pocono Mountains are known as the “Honeymoon Capital of
the World” and “The Land of Love?”
It
could be the scenic panoramic views
The splendor of the Poconos
is breathtaking, and you can enjoy it all during your Poconos honeymoon. This beautiful region has over 2,400 square miles of wooded
valleys and mountains. There
are over 150 lakes, including sprawling Lake Wallenpaupack, and
six lakes right in our own private resort community, The Hideout.
Some of the best waterfalls on the east coast are in the
Pocono Mountians, along with many curving supple rivers and glistening
sinuous streams. Foliage
and mountain views can be enjoyed from a variety of panoramic vista
points, and especially from sites around the lakes, which means
a perfect location for a honeymoon.
It
could be all the attractions, amenities, and activities
During
your Poconos honeymoon, you can enjoy the lush accommodations nestled
along a stream or right on one of our six lakes.
Many of our Poconos Mountain honeymoon destinations feature
Jacuzzi hot tubs, master suites, pool tables, sprawling stone fireplaces,
large decks for sunbathing and relaxing, screened porches for outdoor
dining, and pool tables and foosball tables for your enjoyment.
All of our Pocono Mountain honeymoon homes are located in
The Hideout, a private four star resort community.
All
of our Poconos honeymoon guests have access to the many amenities
and activities offered in The Hideout.
These include six lakes, two pools, two sandy beaches, a
private golf course, a gourmet restaurant and pub, and a ski and
snowboard area with a ski lodge, which has a large circular stone
fireplace, a snackbar, ski and snowboard rentals, and ski and snowboard
lessons. There’s also
indoor and outdoor tennis and basketball, a fitness center, a sports
complex, an Arts and Crafts Center with Ceramics Studio, a Woodworkers’
Shop, miniature golf, and much more.
The
surrounding area offers a variety of options as well.
There are numerous horseback riding facilities and stables,
as well as golf courses, a driving range, a spa, antique shops,
outlet shopping, and paintball.
Our Pocono Mountain honeymoon homes are also located in close
proximity to several major ski areas, including Sno (Montage) Mountain,
Camelback Ski Area, Elk Mountain, Big Boulder/Jack Frost Ski Area,
Big Bear Mountain, Shawnee, and Tanglewood Ski Area.
Equipment rentals, lessons, and snow tubing are also available.
Gorgeous
Lake Wallenpaupack, 13 ˝ miles in length with 52 miles of shoreline,
is just ten minutes away.
Area marinas offer jet ski and power boat rentals.
The vast size of the lake makes it ideal for boating, water
skiing, tubing, or just relaxing. There are several islands on the lake with picnic areas accessible
only by boat, providing a quiet and intimate setting.
There are also many recreational areas located at shore points
on the lake.
It
could be the rich history
The
Delaware, Iroquois, Shawnee, Minisink, Lenape, and Paupack Native
Americans were the first known inhabitants of the Poconos region.
In 1659, Dutch settlers set up a homestead near the Delaware
Water Gap. In 1664,
however, the English forced them to move.
English and German settlers began to arrive, and by 1725
the first permanent settlement was established at Shawnee.
The
first hotel in the Poconos was constructed in 1829, and by 1857
it was the center of a thriving tourism industry.
By 1900, visitors from New York and Philadelphia were spending
summers in the Poconos. The number of resorts and destinations grew exponentially.
During
World War II, many soldiers often took their leaves with girlfriends,
wives, and families in the Poconos before they went overseas or
during their R & R. Those
who first came to the Poconos in love often returned after the war
for their honeymoons. The
acclaim of the Poconos as the “Honeymoon Capital of the World” first
grew out of this romantic appeal.
