When tasked with coming up with the most notable or famous areas in the Pocono Mountain region, many would respond with a single response: Jim Thorpe. We’ve spent lots of time telling you about so much that Jim Thorpe has to offer, including scenic train rides and holiday festivities. Because of the rich culture and robust community in the charming town, it is a no-brainer that some might like to find their own little corner of home nearby. For those looking to be near Jim Thorpe’s downtown but still maintain the seclusion and woodsy mountain feel, look no further than Hickory Run Forest. Located just off of Route 903, Hickory Run Forest is a private residential community nestled into Penn Forest Township, just north of historic Jim Thorpe. The community offers a clubhouse with a lake, ... 10/13/2024

With hopes high that mortgage interest rates will continue a downward trend over the course of the next year, now is a great time to start plotting and planning for your next investment: a vacation home in the Pocono Mountains. Why make this your next investment? An investment that isn’t simply sitting somewhere abstractly, but rather that you can enjoy while it appreciates, makes for a win-win situation. So, now is the time to start thinking about regions of the Poconos that might make a great fit for you. One popular area – for good reason – is Lake Harmony, PA. Convenience is key in Lake Harmony: the Estates is located only a few miles off of Rte. 476. Lake Harmony is a stone’s throw to popular resorts Jack Frost and Big Boulder. After a long day on the slopes, there are many restaur... 09/29/2024

Sometimes, making the long trek to the mountains from Philly or Jersey can be a hassle. Despite the beauty that awaits, a long drive after a long week of work can be daunting. These are things to consider when choosing an investment property for weekend trips or summer weeks in the mountains! A community that might offer a great balance of convenience and fun is Lake Hauto. Located just south of the Pocono Mountains in scenic Nesquehoning, PA, is the nestled lake community of Lake Hauto. This power boating community is a great opinion for those looking for the lake living atmosphere but don’t want such a long commute all the way up the mountain. A private resort community, Lake Hauto offers much of what people think of when they think of summer in the Poconos: lakeside, swimming, and bo... 09/14/2024

When visiting the Pocono Mountains, many have a full itinerary at the ready. If you want to take in all of the scenic natural beauty of the region, you might be planning on hiking or biking through some of our sprawling parks and preserved natural spaces. You might be considering hitting the water: fishing, boating, or swimming. If you’re looking for some family fun after a long day outside, consider a throwback activity and hit a local drive-in. What better way to enjoy a movie on a warm summer night than at a drive-in? The NEPA region is home to several drive-in theaters, including the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA, located just outside of the scenic town of Jim Thorpe. The Mahoning is the region’s oldest drive-in, opening a whopping 76 years ago in 1948! The establishmen... 06/05/2024

With another big snow storm in the Pocono Mountains this week, we are beginning to think the groundhog was wrong: winter is here to stay for a while. Instead of feeling the winter blues, think about all of the ways to enjoy the season in the mountains!

From holiday light shows to theatrical Christmas specials, there are endless ways to take in the sights and sounds of the season. One wonderful way to do so, however, is by the Poconos’ very own Polar Express.  We’ve talked already about the charm of Christmastime in picturesque Jim Thorpe.

Many towns in the Pocono region lean into the cheer and feeling of Christmas, decorating and coordinating events for kids and adults alike to enjoy. As always, one of the area’s most scenic towns is leading the way in seasonal sights and sounds. Jim Thorpe is a place to behold all year long: a charming small town that is often included on national “must-visit” lists.

With Labor Day and the summer 2023 season behind us, it’s time to turn our focus to the coming season. Autumn in the Pocono region is a sight to see: leaves turning vibrant reds and golds, creating picturesque images wherever you turn. Pennsylvania is known to have one of the best fall foliage seasons, with the weather allowing for the leaves to remain colorful for longer periods than in some of the New England states. There is plenty to do and see in the region to enjoy the fall foliage at its finest.   One of the most popular activities for leaf peepers in the Poconos? A foliage scenic train ride. The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway offers daily train rides out of Jim Thorpe, but for peak fall colors, the season spans September 30th until November 5th. On this 45 minute train ride, you wi... 09/07/2023
