As December settles in, the Poconos transform into a quiet, snow-dusted escape that feels calm, refreshing, and full of new things to enjoy. It’s the perfect in-between season — cold enough to feel like winter, but still early enough to explore the area without big crowds.
Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, a relaxing weekend, or just a change of scenery, The Carriage House puts you right in the middle of it all.
Scenic Mornings & Crisp Mountain Air
Early winter in the Poconos has a charm of its own. Trees start to frost over, mornings feel extra still, and the mountain air is cool and refreshing. It’s one of the best times of year to enjoy quiet walks, scenic drives, and peaceful mornings you just can’t get anywhere else.
If you’re staying at The Carriage House, you’ll get those views right outside your door — no extra planning required.
Winter Fun Is Just Getting Started
December is the kickoff to all the seasonal activities the Poconos are known for. Skiing, snow tubing, and winter adventure parks begin opening for the season, and it’s an exciting time to explore everything local resorts have to offer.
Whether you’re gearing up for a ski trip or planning a fun winter weekend with the kids, there’s always something to do nearby — and The Carriage House is just a short drive from some of the most popular winter spots in the area.
Warm Up Back at The Carriage House
After a chilly day outside, nothing beats coming back to a place that feels easy and comfortable. Our indoor pool is perfect for a warm swim, and our suites give you the space to relax, unwind, and settle in for a cozy night.
From quiet hallways to simple comforts, The Carriage House gives you a place to slow down after a day of exploring.
The Perfect Time to Plan Your Winter Stay
The Poconos only get busier as winter goes on, which makes early December the ideal time to plan a getaway. You’ll get peaceful mornings, plenty to do, and a cozy home base to return to — all without the holiday rush.
Whether it’s a quick weekend trip or a longer stay, The Carriage House is ready to welcome you for the season ahead.
