The Poconos resorts in the Pocono Mountains are some of the
world's most popular honeymoon locales. This is due in part to its
proximity to several major population centers of the Northeastern United
States, but the people of those major population centers wouldn't visit
unless the Poconos offered something other than proximity.
Over
the past 50 years, many resorts have started to cater specifically to
couples. They realized that the proximity to the major population
centers, combined with breathtaking natural surroundings offering an
abundance of activities year-round, and an existing infrastructure for
catering to guests already in place would make for an unrivaled couples
retreat, with something for all types of people.
Today, couples
have their pick of any kind of accommodation they could want. Poconos
resorts range from simple to world-class luxury, all-inclusive, or cater
to specific activities. There are hotels, bed and breakfasts of all
types, country inns, dude ranches, house rentals and camping. Many of
the resorts are adults only and cater to couples. These resorts boast
the ultimate in privacy and luxury, and are in large part,
all-inclusive.
Should couples venture from their resorts, fine
dining restaurants, world-class spas and plentiful nightlife can be
found in some of the quaint, idyllic downtown areas. But that's just the
tip of the iceberg. The Pocono Mountains have something for everyone.
Whether you're a couple simply getting away from it all to enjoy each
other for a weekend, or you're a couple who want to hit the ground
running, there's something for you.
The Pocono Mountains consist
of 2,400 square miles in northeast Pennsylvania. There are roughly 170
miles of river offering rafting, boating and fishing, breathtaking
waterfalls, 261 miles of designated hiking and biking trails, over 35
golf courses, and over 163 ski trails for wintertime activity. There's
even a NASCAR track for racing fans.
The Pocono Mountains
aren't just for honeymooners either. The various resorts and lodges
have wedding ceremonies down to a science. They will take care of the
details for you, from food, decor, even officiators, they will let you
know what you need to do and bring, and then take care of the rest while
you and your guests can relax, have fun, and get ready for the big day.
It's a destination wedding as it should be, with minimal travel, the
details taken care of for you, and one of the most beautiful backdrops
you could ask for during any season. In fact, the Pocono Mountains are
known for their fall foliage. The color change in the leaves has to be
seen to be believed, and will burn an indelible image into your brain
and heart. You would be hard pressed to find a more memorable backdrop
for your big day.
Although the Pocono Mountains offer plenty to do
for families with children, the true magic of them manifests itself
when experienced with that special someone. The natural surroundings
alone are enough to keep the fire burning, but the amenities and
establishments that exist purely to pamper and spoilage what truly make
the experience unforgettable.
