Resorts in Mt. Pocono
Mt. Pocono is just two and a half hours from Philadelphia and New York, but visitors don't need to leave its majestic beauty to have an enjoyable vacation. Located in the Pocono Mountains, Mt. Pocono is a short distance to the Delaware River, which draws boaters, rafters and kayakers. Along the river's shores rests the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, which hosted the first PGA Championships. At least five courses are within the boundaries of Mt. Pocono.

Mount Airy Casino Resort

The original Mount Airy Lodge, once the largest resort in the Pocono Mountains, closed in 2001. When gambling became legal in Pennsylvania, many tourist-reliant businesses received a boost. The Mount Airy Casino Resort was first to break ground to develop a slot casino in Pennsylvania. The excellent 18-hole Mt. Airy Golf Course with fairways and ponds stretching for 6,000 yards. Golflink ranks it as one of the Top 100 golf courses in the United States. After a great round of golf, visitors can relax in the resort's serene spa or improve their endurance in the fitness center. The entertainment includes a piano bar, a live music bar and a dance club. The resort regularly hosts singers, inspirational speakers, musicians and comedians.

Paradise Stream Resort

The Paradise Stream Resort is one of three resorts belonging to the Caesars Pocono Resorts group. Completely geared toward couples, Paradise Stream Resort follows a signature style that came into the public eye with its sister resort Cove Haven, which received acclaim for heart-shaped tubs in a 1963 issue of Life Magazine. This earned the Pocono Mountains the title of "Honeymoon Capital of the World." The Paradise Stream Resort features the heart-shaped tubs, and its most luxurious suite, the Tower Room, contains a seven-foot high wineglass-shaped hot tub. Activities at the resort include tennis, swimming, billiards, paddle boating, snowmobiling, snow tubing, volleyball, golf, racquetball, basketball and archery. Guests may use facilities at either the Cove Haven or Pocono Palace resorts with the Key Around Club access pass. This pass gives golf enthusiasts access to the nine-hole, par 34 course at Pocono Palace Resort in East Stroudsburg, about 30 minutes away from Paradise Stream. The closest golf course to the resort is the public Mt. Pocono Golf Course.
