If you’re planning a getaway to the Poconos, chances are you’re looking for a mix of comfort, convenience, and a little adventure. Carriage House Country Club checks all the boxes—and then some. Sure, the location is unbeatable and the scenery is stunning, but there are also some lesser-known perks that make a stay here extra special.
Whether you’re booking a weekend trip or planning an extended stay, here are five hidden gems that make Carriage House the kind of place guests return to year after year.
1. Indoor Swimming Pool & Hot Tub – Relax Year-Round
Let’s start with a guest favorite that’s perfect no matter what the weather’s doing: our indoor swimming pool and hot tub. While many resorts only offer outdoor options that close for the season, Carriage House gives you access to aquatic relaxation all year long.
Imagine a snowy winter day, and you’re soaking in the hot tub while the steam rises around you—or maybe you’re enjoying a refreshing swim in the summer without the sunburn. The pool area is spacious, well-maintained, and ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to unwind. Bonus: the pool is right on-site, so there’s no need to drive anywhere for a swim.
2. Full Kitchenettes in Every Room – Ideal for Long Stays
One of the best-kept secrets about staying at Carriage House? Every room comes equipped with a full kitchenette. That means no more stressing about where to eat every single meal—especially if you’re here for more than just a weekend.
Whether you’re traveling with kids, following a special diet, or just want to enjoy a homemade breakfast in your pajamas, the kitchenette setup has you covered. Each one includes a fridge, microwave, stove, and basic cookware. It’s perfect for those who love the flexibility of dining in, meal prepping, or even saving a little money while on vacation.
Planning an extended stay? This perk becomes even more valuable. You’ll feel less like a hotel guest and more like you’re in your own private mountain retreat.
3. On-Site Bike Rentals – Explore the Poconos on Two Wheels
Want to explore the beauty of the Poconos at your own pace? Carriage House offers on-site bike rentals, making it easy to hit the local trails or simply cruise around the area.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just in it for a leisurely ride, having bikes available right at the resort is a huge bonus. The surrounding region has plenty of scenic routes, paved paths, and nature trails that are perfect for biking, especially during the spring, summer, and fall months.
It’s a great way to get the kids moving, see the sights, or just enjoy a breezy ride through the trees. Don’t forget to pack your camera—some of those trail views are postcard-worthy.
4. Grills and Picnic Tables – Your Outdoor BBQ Spot
There’s just something about a picnic or barbecue that makes any vacation feel more special—and at Carriage House, you can make that happen without ever leaving the property.
Scattered throughout the grounds are grills and picnic tables that guests are welcome to use. It’s the perfect setup for a casual family dinner, a romantic sunset meal, or a group get-together. Bring your own burgers and hot dogs, or pick up some local produce and grill up something fresh.
Want to make it even better? Combine it with that kitchenette perk—prep your meal inside, then bring it out for a scenic cookout surrounded by the sounds of nature. It’s simple, relaxing, and 100% Pocono-style fun.
5. Just 5 Minutes From Family-Friendly Fun (Like Big Screen Escapes!)
One of the best perks of staying at Carriage House is its location. Nestled in a quiet part of the Poconos, it still puts you within minutes of all kinds of fun, especially for families.
A standout? Big Screen Escapes, just 5 minutes away. This family-friendly escape room experience blends puzzles, teamwork, and movie-themed adventure in a way that kids and adults both love. It’s perfect for a rainy afternoon, a break from hiking, or just a fun evening out.
