The Pocono Mountains, or "The Poconos," refers to a 2,400-square-mile mountainous region in northeast Pennsylvania. The area serves as a four-season wilderness retreat destination with opportunities for downhill skiing, snowboarding, hunting, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Several stocked mountain valley lakes offer fishing and water sport activities. The Poconos thrives on tourism with several options available for lodging with hot tubs, from family vacations to romantic getaways.
The Great Wolf Lodge offers log cabin-inspired suites with two-person hot tub, gas fireplace, private patio, wet bar and free park pass to the on-site waterpark, which offers two jumbo whirlpools--one for adults 21 and over and one just for family use. The waterpark features slides, a wave pool, an activity pool and a lazy river. The family-friendly resort is home to Elements Spa, providing beauty, facial and body services and a separate spa for children. On-site dining includes a breakfast and dinner buffet restaurant, a family-friendly, casual a la carte restaurant designed like a campground, Starbucks and Pizza Hut Express. A mini-mall provides an extensive gift shopping opportunity.
