Skytop Lodge: A Winter Wonderland for Everyone
Skytop Lodge is a welcoming, family-friendly resort that features a cozy cabin motif. As the snow is falling all around you, it may be tempting to bring your comfiest clothes and stay inside a while as you soak up the peaceful winter scene in the Poconos — especially if you have a room at The Inn with a private fireplace! However, Skytop Lodge offers plenty of outdoor winter activities for you to try, so it may be worth your while to schedule some time in your itinerary for an adventure.
At Skytop Lodge, our guests are our top priority, which is why we have several exclusive experiences for those who stay with us during the winter season. These are a few of the winter sports that only our guests can enjoy:
- Snowshoeing and cross country skiing — This complimentary activity is available to resort guests when the conditions are right. If there are at least 6 inches of snow, you can plan on traversing along the trails at Skytop Lodge in skis or snowshoes.
- Ice fishing — When you stay here, you can head out for an ice fishing adventure on our 72-acre lake where you might catch a bass or a perch. Conditions must be right in order to participate.
- Axe throwing — If you want to try something new while you are here this winter, consider booking a 30-minute axe throwing session on the property.
Other winter activities at the resort that are popular among resort guests and local residents alike include skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and ice skating. If you are new to skiing or snowboarding, you can invest in lessons to help you improve your skills and boost your confidence.
Experience Spring in Bloom at Skytop Lodge
As the winter winds begin to recede and the snow starts to melt away, life starts to spring forth once again throughout the Poconos. Spring is a quieter time of year to visit Skytop Lodge, which is why many families prefer to come during this peaceful season.
While the warm weather activities are not in full swing yet, there are plenty of opportunities to get outside and see the wildflowers blooming around the resort grounds. Some of the best springtime activities at Skytop Lodge include:
- Hiking — There are numerous trails on the Skytop Lodge property, each varying in length and difficulty, allowing hikers of all experience to wander and explore. You may see some new baby critters along the way, and you’ll almost certainly see plants and flowers springing forth from the ground.
- Biking — Biking is another popular activity at Skytop Lodge, and you don’t even have to worry about packing your bike. We have bikes available on-site.
- Lawn Games — When the weather finally breaks in the spring, we bring out the lawn games again. All of our guests enjoy mixing and mingling as they play these games together.
Forget All Your Worries During Your Summer Vacation at Skytop Lodge
Summer is the peak travel season at Skytop Lodge, and it’s particularly popular for families during this busy yet exciting time of year. Every summer in the Poconos is filled with endless potential, and when you stay at Skytop Lodge, you are going to have a hard time trying to fit in everything that you want to do.
Skytop Lodge is one of the best resorts in the Poconos with a pool, and many of our families find that they spend several hours per day splashing in the sun at the outdoor pool. Weather permitting, the outdoor pool is open from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and it is heated to ensure comfort for every guest.
When you aren’t lounging poolside on a summer day in the Poconos, you will find that you are enjoying one of many different activities and adventures that are located on the resort property. Some of the most popular summer activities at Skytop Lodge for families and for couples include:
- Boating and Fishing — You can rent a boat and head out onto our large, serene lake to spend your day trying to catch a fish in the Poconos.
- Kayaking — Kayak tours are available on the resort grounds, allowing you to experience the peaceful nature of the mountains for yourself.
- Golfing — Our renowned golf course offers challenging holes as well as spectacular views, making it one of the most popular courses to play in the region.
Skytop Lodge is also home to a Tree Top Adventure Course, which allows people to zipline among the trees and soar through the Poconos in style. There is a half-course and full-course option available, allowing you to choose the experience that is right for your summer vacation.
Soak Up the Splendor of Fall at Skytop Lodge
After the buzz of summer has died down, one of the most magnificent seasons of the year at Skytop Lodge is quickly ushered in. The fall is fleeting but beautiful, and it is simply one of the best times to stay at our resort. By the middle of September, you will start to see the first hints of fall colors in the trees around the resort, and by the middle of October, the colors are typically peaking for the season.
Beyond leaf peeping, you can still enjoy many of the same activities that are available on-location during the spring and summer months. Fall is the perfect time to embark on a final boat ride for the season or to hike along the trail to see how it has changed throughout the year. For many, this is the perfect opportunity to soak up nature’s beauty before they settle in for another cozy winter in the mountains.
From hiking along the trails and witnessing the beauty of the Poconos for yourself to fun-filled activities and adventures that will delight you and your entire family, there is something for everyone throughout the entire year at Skytop Lodge. When you stay at Skytop Lodge for your next vacation, you will quickly discover why it’s considered to be the top place to stay in the Poconos.
