Looking for the ultimate girls' getaway? Brianna Strunk and Deanna Fontanez recently had the chance to experience the serene and luxurious French Manor Inn & Spa, nestled in the heart of the countryside. With its breathtaking views, fabulous amenities, and soothing atmosphere, this Four Diamond property offers everything you need for a truly unforgettable retreat. "Join us as we get pampered, indulge in fine dining, and dive into everything that makes this place special," said Brianna, setting the stage for their getaway adventure.

From the moment you arrive at the French Manor, you're greeted with warmth and elegance. Genevieve Logan-Reese, one of the Inn's owners, welcomes Deanna into the stunning Nice Suite, her favorite on the property. "It has a fabulous 28-mile view from the balcony, a slipper tub in the corner, and a newly updated walk-in shower," Genevieve explains. It’s clear that the attention to detail in each suite is designed to ensure ultimate relaxation.

Meanwhile, Brianna is escorted to the equally lovely Jardin Suite. "This suite is one of our end units and offers a beautiful view of the Tranquility Garden below. Guests love the whirlpool tub and cozy fireplace," says Bridget Logan-Weber, the other owner of the Inn and Genevieve's sister. With the individually decorated spa suites, each offering a unique experience, there’s no shortage of luxurious touches to make your stay extra special.

The French Manor Inn & Spa isn’t just about the rooms. The property’s rich history is another aspect that makes it so special. Originally built in the 1930s as a private retreat for Joseph Hirschhorn, the Inn was later transformed into a bed and breakfast in the late 1980s. "Our parents purchased it in 1990, and it’s been in the family ever since," Bridget shares, giving a personal touch to the Inn’s story. That combination of historic charm with modern-day luxury is part of what makes the French Manor a standout destination.

But the real magic happens when you experience all that the French Manor has to offer, beyond just the gorgeous accommodations. "We try to provide a very relaxing retreat-type atmosphere," Genevieve shares. “It works well for couples, girlfriend getaways, and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life." Whether you’re looking to spend the day doing absolutely nothing, lounging by the pool or balcony, or you prefer to partake in some of the fun activities, the French Manor makes relaxation a priority.

And speaking of relaxation, the French Manor’s spa is a dream. Guests can indulge in the saltwater pool, which is heated to bath-like temperatures, perfect for unwinding before a rejuvenating massage or facial. "We cater to people coming together to reconnect," Genevieve says. Most of the treatment rooms are designed for two, allowing guests to enjoy pampering together. Whether it’s a calming massage or a refreshing facial, every treatment leaves you feeling like royalty. To add even more to the experience, the spa uses local products from Pocono Organics and Note Fragrances, offering guests a truly local touch in their relaxation.

For those looking for more activities, there are plenty of options to fill your days. Yoga on the lawn, available from May through October, is a guest favorite, offering a great way to start the day with a peaceful mind. If you're looking for something more private, you can schedule a one-on-one yoga session with a stunning 20-30 mile view. "We have miles of private hiking trails, and you can also enjoy yoga sessions with views that make you feel on top of the world," Genevieve adds. Plus, the new Tranquility Garden, with its heated walkways, is a perfect space to enjoy year-round, even in winter.

No girls’ getaway is complete without a little wine, and the French Manor delivers! Brianna and Deanna had the opportunity to enjoy a wine tasting, which is available on weekends from April to October, as well as during the holiday season. The wine tasting was the perfect way to enjoy the evening with great conversation and get to learn about and taste some great wines. It’s easy to see why this experience is a popular add-on to any stay.

Of course, dining at the French Manor is an experience in itself. "We want our guests to feel like royalty," says Genevieve, and the food certainly does its part in creating that feeling. With three talented chefs on staff, the Inn offers gourmet meals every night of the week. Outdoor dining on the terrace during warmer months gives guests the chance to dine al fresco with views that stretch for 30 miles. The Inn’s Tuesday night live jazz and "Tuesdays on the Terrace" make for the perfect accompaniment to a delightful meal.

As Brianna and Deanna reflect on their experience, it’s clear that the French Manor has something for everyone. "This is the perfect way to end a girls' getaway. We’re leaving feeling relaxed with so many great memories," Brianna says. From spa treatments to wine tastings and the breathtaking views, it’s easy to see why this is the ideal destination for those looking for luxury and relaxation.

“From the beautiful views to the great conversations, this getaway was one for the books,” Deanna adds, already planning their next adventure. If you're ready to indulge in a getaway that combines stunning views, luxurious amenities, and memories that will last a lifetime, the French Manor Inn & Spa is calling your name.
