Never ridden a horse? No problem! Bushkill Riding Stables loves beginners and offers guided trail rides. Rather have someone else take the reins? Daisy Field Farm offers carriage and hay wagon rides; perfect for extra snuggles.

Still get butterflies thinking about your first date? Relive the magic! Take your sweetie to a fine dining experience. The Pocono Mountains has lots of fine dining restaurants serving up delicious dishes and exceptional service.

The Frogtown Chophouse and Louie's Prime Steakhouse feature starry-eyed settings with appetizing menus. The Settlers Inn and French Manor Inn & Spa also offer romantic fine dining, with farm to table flare. Whatever your culinary preference, an intimate meal is the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax and reminisce.

If number one on your couples getaway itinerary is just to relax in one another’s company, our adults only accommodations will provide the privacy and restful setting you're looking for. The Gilded Cupid B&B and Stone Lake Inn are just two lodgings in the area that offer ideal romantic hideaways.

Of course, we couldn’t forget our region's famed favorite heart-shaped tubs. Cove Haven Resort, Pocono Palace Resort and Paradise Stream Resort feature these one-of-a-kind baths in their secluded suites. Add extras like chocolates, candles and bubbly for the perfect ambience.

We also have a plethora of wineries you can visit! Blue Ridge Winery and Sorrenti Family Estate Winery offer delicious vintages representing the region’s grapes and flavors.
