Why the Poconos Is the Best Place to Spend the Winter


As the weather starts to cool down, there’s no better place to embrace the season than the Pocono Mountains. Between the snow-covered views, winter activities, and cozy small-town charm, it’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves that crisp mountain air and a slower pace.

The best part? You don’t have to go far to find it all when you stay at The Carriage House in Pocono Manor.


Snow Days Done Right

If skiing or snow tubing is your thing, you’re in luck — Camelback Mountain and Blue Mountain Resort are both just a short drive away. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or trying snow tubing for the first time, these spots are packed with winter fun for all ages.

Want to mix things up? Head over to Kalahari Resort, one of the biggest indoor waterparks in the country. It’s perfect for families or anyone who wants a little adventure without braving the cold.


Explore, Shop, and Eat Local

Winter in the Poconos isn’t just about the snow — it’s about exploring all the little places that make the area so unique. Take a drive to Jim Thorpe, a picture-perfect town full of shops, cafés, and mountain views. Stop by Country Junction in Lehighton (known as the world’s largest general store) for nostalgic décor, comfort food, and that small-town feel that makes the Poconos so special.


Why Stay at The Carriage House

The Carriage House puts you right in the middle of it all. You’re minutes from ski resorts, outlet shopping, and great local restaurants — but still tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet when you want it.

After a full day of exploring, there’s nothing better than relaxing in our indoor pool, unwinding in a cozy room, or simply enjoying the mountain view right outside your window. It’s simple, comfortable, and just what you need after a busy week.
