The Poconos is an ultimate romantic destination with mountains, lakes, shopping, dining, and great getaway deals. This part of the eastern U.S. is an outdoor playground and ideal for nature-loving couples who enjoy hiking, biking, and skiing. It’s also a lovely place to see the fall foliage and cuddle up with the one you love by a fireplace. There are quite a few resorts here geared towards couples and that have the type of amenities that make a romantic weekend special. Here are the best Poconos couples’ resorts to help you plan your next trip.
