Fall in the Poconos is one of those magical seasons that seems to pass too quickly. The air turns crisp, the mountains glow in shades of red and gold, and for a few short weeks, everything feels a little cozier. If you’ve been waiting to plan your fall getaway — now’s the time.

Peak foliage is reaching its final stretch, and The Carriage House in Pocono Manor puts you right in the middle of it all. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family trip, or just a quiet weekend surrounded by color, here’s how to make the most of the last days of autumn.

1. Catch the Colors While You Can

This is the best time of year for scenic drives and picture-perfect views. Pack a camera, grab a warm drink, and explore nearby routes like Route 507 around Lake Wallenpaupack or the Delaware Water Gap for breathtaking overlooks.

If you’d rather sit back and take it all in, hop aboard the Pocono Foliage Express in Honesdale. The vintage-style train ride winds through mountain passes and forests filled with fall color — a must-do before the leaves fade.

Pro Tip: The light is best in the late afternoon, right before sunset, when the trees seem to glow.

2. Enjoy the Best of Fall Flavor

October in the Poconos means cozy cafés, farm stands, and all things pumpkin-spiced. Stop by Wallenpaupack Brewing Company for a seasonal beer, or grab fresh apple cider and donuts from a local market on your way back to the resort.

At Carriage House, you can grill outdoors, unwind with a cup of hot cocoa by the fire pit, or take a dip in the indoor pool — the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.

Pro Tip: Bring along a few fall snacks and make it a fireside evening under the stars.

3. Make It a Weekend to Remember

There’s something special about fall in the mountains — the pace slows, the air feels clearer, and every moment feels like a photo waiting to happen. Spend your weekend wandering through small towns, taking a scenic chairlift ride, or finding the perfect pumpkin to bring home.

Then come back to The Carriage House, where comfort meets convenience. Spacious suites, family-friendly amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere make it easy to settle in and make the most of your stay.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget your camera — those last pops of color won’t last long!
