Delaware River Nominated for PA River of the Year

The Delaware River is in the running for Pennsylvania’s River of the Year Award. The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is incredibly lucky to have this beautiful river just steps from our front door. This allows our guests to enjoy various water activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, rafting, or taking a ride in our Pontoon Boat. And let’s not forget the amazing photo’s our guests take of the River with the mountains behind it.

The river flows almost 300 miles along the borders of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, and provides drinking water to over 14 million people. The river is home to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, one of the top 20 most visited National Park units in the country. The park is located just a few short miles from the Shawnee Inn, and is often utilized by our guests.

If you’ve visited Shawnee, you know just how important the Delaware River is to our resort. You can cast your vote to make it Pennsylvania’s River of the Year by visiting the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers website. Voting is open until January 19th, 2025.

5 Reasons to Stay at Resorts Near Bushkill Falls

In the uplands of the Poconos Mountains, just a quick twenty minute trip from the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, is Bushkill Falls, a privately-operated national attraction. The “Niagara of Pennsylvania,” Bushkill Falls is among the Keystone State’s most famous scenic attractions. This unique series of eight waterfalls, nestled deep in the wooded Pocono Mountains, is accessible through a network of hiking trails and bridges which afford fabulous views of the falls and the surrounding forest.

Bushkill Falls can accommodate both casual and experienced hikers. With easier trails for casual explorers and more intense trails for experienced trekkers. The main event is, of course, the falls themselves: a one-hundred foot drop that sends the crystal clear water of Bushkill Creek cascading down to another seventy-foot waterfall.

Bushkill Falls is open seasonal April through Mid-November, and offers a picnic area, gift shop, boating and fishing opportunities. No wonder it is such a popular attraction, but why choose to stay at resorts near Bushkill Falls? We listed five simple reasons below.

Your Choice of Specific Accommodations

Your standard hotel, might be able to offer you a room with one bed or two. However, at a resort like Shawnee, we can also offer you a private cottage, a glamping Poconos experience, or a place with a full kitchen and living room. You can check out all of Shawnee’s accommodations here.

On-Site Dining

Unlike a standard hotel, a resort offers on-site dining. At Shawnee, we have a bakery & café, a tavern, a restaurant, and our own brewery! You can roll out of bed and be down for breakfast in less than 5 minutes! We won’t even care if you’re still in your jammies! View hours and menus for our restaurants here.

Activities and Events

Resorts are known for their activities and events. At Shawnee we have a whole recreation team dedicated to making sure our guests have a great time. Offering things like guided hikes, outdoor archery, nature tours, golf cart tours, yoga, axe throwing, guided painting, and nightly campfires with s’mores! Our resort guide is a great resource in planning your daily itinerary. Check out our resort guide and recreation opportunities here. 

We have free concerts every Tuesday by local musicians, and live entertainment in our taproom and beer garden every Thursday through Sunday. You can find the full line-up of entertainers on our event calendar. 

Shawnee is close to many popular hiking trails, and our guided hikes are one of our most popular activities amongst guests.  To learn more about the best hikes in the Poconos as well as receive expert tips from our local guides, check out our hiking guide!

The Pool

Plain and simple…the pool. Shawnee’s pool is indoors and heated, making its availability year round. Shawnee also has a hot tub that you can soak in, maybe after that hike around the falls. Or perhaps you want to cool off in the River. Staying at Shawnee leaves you just steps away from the beautiful Delaware River.

The Location

Shawnee is so lucky to be in close proximity to many local attractions, such as Bushkill Falls, The Crossings Premium Outlets, Downtown Stroudsburg, multiple wineries and breweries, and the Delaware Water Gap Natural Recreation Area. But that’s not all, Shawnee is surrounded by the beauty of nature. The majestic mountains, the gently moving Delaware River, and the lush greenery that comes with it. Guests and staff all love the scenery that surrounds our historic resort.

Bonus Reason

This may not apply to every resort near Bushkill Falls, but Shawnee also has a championship Poconos golf course, a full service Spa and Salon, a fitness room, a business center, and offers several different River Trips (seasonally).

So if you’re ready to visit, consider staying with a resort near Bushkill Falls.

Pocono Weddings & Micro-Weddings

Recently Engaged?

Did you recently get engaged? We know that planning a wedding can be tough, and we are here to help! Our experienced wedding coordinator can help you plan every little detail to make your wedding day go over flawlessly. We are your one stop shop, from rehearsal dinners(at our very own brewery), overnight accommodations, spa services, ceremonies, receptions, to wedding after parties, goodbye brunch, or a fun group trip down the  Delaware River – it can all be done at our historic resort. Contact us today to schedule a tour and meet with our wedding professional!

Read below to learn more about our micro-wedding package if you are looking for a smaller ceremony/reception.

Introducing a Micro-wedding

A micro wedding, minimony, tiny wedding, or whatever name you wish to call it, involves the bride and groom, and 25 (or less) of their closest family members and friends. Some couples choose to get married on the date of their choosing, and then have a big celebration on their one year anniversary or a few years later. Others choose just to elope. And still other couples choose to have elaborate small gatherings (spending their wedding budget on flowers, centerpieces or gifts for their attendees).

Planning a Micro-wedding

How do you begin to plan a micro-wedding? To start, choose the right Poconos wedding venues. What appeals to you and your significant other? Have you considered a destination wedding? Next consider if you want to include a wedding party. After that decide on your guests, and don’t be afraid to reconsider allowing plus ones. You want the people that matter most to you as a couple to be a part of your big day, not necessarily your best friends flavor of the week. 🙄

Make sure you find the right officiant, whether it be a member of the clergy, a locally elected official, or your college roommate with the certificate he purchased online when he was bored one night. Next get creative with your wedding elements. Maybe you want simple decor, or maybe you want something extravagant, there is no right or wrong answer. Lastly, don’t be afraid to embrace the services of a professional wedding planner! It’s what they do best, in fact they’ve made a living out of it! They can sit with you and help decide what is best for both bride and groom on their magical day.

A Minimony at Shawnee

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort has created a package for brides and grooms that wish to go the route of a micro-wedding. A minimony at Shawnee includes an intimate ceremony and dinner reception. The bride and groom get their choice of tablecloth and napkin color, a champagne toast, and plated dinner service with a 2 hour call brand service. The happy couple will receive a complimentary traditional room for their wedding night. And best of all, you get the undivided attention of our professional wedding planner!

The Shawnee Inn Gets a Facelift

Being a historic property doesn’t mean you need to show your age. Think of us as the hotel industry’s Jennifer Aniston.

2023 Resort Upgrades

The Team Gets To Work – Refreshed Indoor PoolShawnee Indoor Pool

One of the first projects the team conquered was the tile work on the indoor pool. The pool was drained, and the old tiles removed. The pool was then painted, and the new tiles installed. Once completed, the pool was refilled, the water warmed, and was once again open for our guests’ enjoyment.

Learn more about our resort amenities.

New Smart TV’s in every Guest RoomTV Upgrade

Every guest room at The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort received TV upgrades! 50″ smart tv’s were added to every guest rooms. Now you can stream using our high-speed wi-fi and watch Directv.

 

Glamping Re-Imagined

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort have been Pocono Glamping Innovators! When we launched glamping over a decade ago, almost no one knew what Glamping was. We’ve been working hard at ironing out the kinks to deliver a seamless resort experience for our glamping guests. New for 2023, we’ve added stargazing tents, air conditioning and heating. These incremental improvements are in addition to what already makes Glamping so special at Shawnee.

Renovated Guestroom Bathrooms

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort refreshed 17 Guestroom bathrooms in the Main Inn and 12 guestrooms in the Delaware Lodge received upgraded bathrooms as well. Stand-up showers with rainfall shower-heads were added in both the Main Inn and Delaware Lodge. In the Delaware Lodge, honeymoon era “Japanese Soaking Tubs” were removed while traditional bathtubs were removed in the Main Inn.

In addition, more guestrooms were refreshed with hardwood flooring, in fact, none of our guestrooms have carpeting now.

Upgraded Restrooms

Along with the pool, several of our meeting spaces received the royal treatment as well.

In the Delaware and Waring rooms, the wallpaper and carpeting were removed. In their place went a coat of soft colored paint, and beautiful dark hardwood flooring was laid. A deep cleaning and new drapery completed these rooms, which are the perfect space for small meetings and wedding receptions.

Our Worthington Ballroom also received a fresh coat of paint and new flooring. A darker stain went on the grotto, and new light fixtures completely transformed this room.

Pocono Ski Resort with Shuttle Service

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is the closest resort to Shawnee Ski Mountain, only 3 miles away! Don’t feel like driving yourself? No problem! Did you know that the Shawnee Inn is the only Pocono ski resort to offer shuttle service? Our team offers a complimentary shuttle and private rides to and from Shawnee Mountain.

Stay at Shawnee, Catch a Ride to Shawnee Mountain

A Poconos Weekend Getaway or Midweek Getaway

We all know that weekends are everyone’s go to when it comes to a quick getaway. Kids don’t have school, most adults don’t have work, and there are plenty of activities and events that take place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. But what about midweek? Restaurants and shops are still open. Activities and events are still being held. The beauty of nature is still present. So here are the top reasons you should choose a midweek vacation over a weekend vacation.

Why Book Midweek?

1. It’s CHEAPER!

There is no doubt that hotel rates are lower midweek. Weekends sell out fast, and because of the high demand, hoteliers will offer a lower rate to encourage midweek bookings. And it’s not just hotel rates that are lower midweek. With fewer guests dining at restaurants, restaurant owners will often offer specials and deals during the week to help fill seats. Events and theme parks will often offer lower rates for midweek as well.

Check out this great Stay More Save More offer that Shawnee is currently offering for midweek stays.

The Gem and Keystone Tavern offers daily specials. View them all by clicking here.

2. Less Wait Times…EVERYWHERE!

With fewer people traveling during the week, it means less wait times at restaurants, attractions, and other activities and events.  You might not even need advanced reservations for dining or spa appointments. With check-in at 4pm and check-out at 11am it means you are missing all the heavy commuter rush hour traffic first thing in the morning or later in the evening!

3. Social Distancing, No Problem

Traveling midweek means less crowds at area attractions, like hiking trails, shopping plazas, movie theaters, area parks, and other theme parks and venues.

Shawnee is close to numerous hiking trails here in the Poconos. However, many have limited parking available. Going mid-week not only allows for ample parking, but it also ensures that the trails won’t be as busy either. No need to try and edit strangers out of your photo’s.

4. Personalized Instruction

If you sign up for a group instructional activity you may be the only member(s) of the class and will therefore receive private or more tailored instruction. For example, Shawnee offers outdoor archery with lessons from one of our guides. On the weekends this class fills quickly and private instruction is lost as the guide must offer the lesson to numerous participants in the group all at one time. Booking this activity midweek will often allow you to receive a personalized lesson and allow for more time target shooting.

You can check out all the activities Shawnee offers by clicking here.

5. Events and Activities SOLD OUT

Not during the week! Just like hotel rooms, popular events and activities will sell out on the weekend, but a lot of those events and activities also have availability during the week. And as we mentioned before, you might even be able to get them at a reduced price, or experience them in a more intimate setting. You can also enjoy events that are targeted to the local community, such as local open mics, concerts, trivia nights or farmers markets.

Shawnee offers a complimentary concert series on Tuesday evenings geared towards the community, but our overnight guests also get to enjoy the free performance. ShawneeCraft brewery holds open mic every Thursday night drawing locals to our taproom and beergarden, but plenty of our guests will take the stage and surprise us with their talents!

Are you ready to visit Shawnee?

As you can see, a midweek getaway is just as much fun and relaxing as a weekend getaway. But no matter when you choose to getaway, Shawnee is always ready to welcome you!
