Get Cozy in the Poconos!

If you're looking for the best places to stay in the Poconos this winter, we have six excellent properties for you to consider. The Pocono Mountains, located in northeastern Pennsylvania, are one of the most charming and romantic getaway destinations in the Northeast.  

It's beautiful there in the winter, but the Poconos are a wonderful 4-season getaway, filled with an incredible range of activities like hiking, biking, birdwatching, waterfall chasing, boating, fishing. In the winter, aside from getting cozy, it's a great place for skiing and other snow sports. There are also several quaint towns to explore and plenty of breathtaking scenery to take in. 

With steep mountains, cloud-covered peaks, and 150+ beautiful lakes, it's easy to fall in love with the Pocono Mountains. It's pretty easy to get here, too, given that this area is roughly 100 miles from Philadelphia and New York City.  Getting here is easy, and when you rely on Select Registry Bed and Breakfasts, so is lodging. 

When it comes to finding the best places to stay in the Poconos this winter, you can't beat the cozy, charming accommodations offered by our Select Registry Bed and Breakfasts. Whether you're looking for a bit of adventure or a weekend mired in romance, there's nothing that beats a winter getaway to one of our Pocono Mountain Bed and Breakfasts. They are, without a doubt, among the best places to stay in the Poconos this winter!

The Best Places to Stay in the Poconos

One of the best parts of a wintry and romantic getaway in the Poconos is the chance to sink into cozy, luxurious accommodations and spend some dedicated time with your sweetheart. It's long been one of the top destinations for not just romantic getaways but honeymoons, babymoons, and other celebrations as well. 

It's this opportunity to connect and rekindle that romantic spark that makes our Bed and Breakfasts among the best places to stay in the Poconos. You'll find far more than the heart-shaped tubs that once made this region famous, though.  

There are many things that make our Select Registry lodging properties among the best places to stay in the Poconos. First, they offer a welcome respite from the outside world and a place where romance can be your singular focus.  Curl up in front of cozy fireplaces, share a glass of wine, meander through breathtaking winter wonderlands outside, indulge in treatments at world-class luxury spas, and give yourself the chance to breathe deeply and focus inwards. 

Exquisite accommodations and world-class hospitality are just one part of what makes our selection of Bed and Breakfasts and boutique hotels rank among the best places to stay in the Poconos. Unlike most hotel chains, where homogenous guest rooms and bland service have replaced personalized service and authenticity, Select Registry properties offer an authentic sense of place in which to reignite the flames of passion. 

Not only will you find unique and welcoming accommodations to your liking, but you can take solace in the fact that each of our member properties has passed the most comprehensive inspection in the industry. This, combined with the stunning natural beauty of northeastern Pennsylvania, all add up to an unforgettable vacation. Isn't it time you elevated your getaway and stayed at one of the best places to stay in the Poconos?
