If staying in nature’s lap is your choice, then Poconos is the best place to recharge oneself and reconnect with your partner amidst the serene mountains flaunting impressive natural beauty consisting of majestic mountains, lush greenery and mesmerizing panoramic views.  

I chose Poconos for one of my most spontaneous romantic getaways. It’s one of the favorite destinations for people planning to propose to their mates, celebrate their anniversary, or just reconnect with each other. Packed with numerous leisure activities, it’s a power pack place for couples retreats. Surely, I wouldn’t miss trying once in my lifetime at least.

Things to Do While Vacationing in Poconos

Poconos is the best choice for the perfect weekend getaways for couples because of all the romance and adventure it has to offer to its visitors. So I backpacked our luggage and took my partner to escape the monotonous life and experience the best couples vacations in the heart of Pennsylvania with her while enjoying the recreational activities and natural beauty amidst each other’s company.

• Enjoy the Equestrian Riding

Enjoy the scenic beauty of the mountains at your own pace while going horseback riding. Let the early or last sunrays of the day enlighten your face with crimson color. Explore the mountains while riding in the woods, fields or crossing the streams.

• Ski with Your Partner

Poconos mountains hosts over 185 slopes and trails for skiing. One can choose the area for skiing from steep, expert slopes to cruise, gentle hills depending on their skiing experience. Discover the snow laden areas with your partner while meandering through them on your ski boards during your romantic getaways in Poconos. I spent maximum time doing this because I personally love skiing and wanted to ski on steep slopes of Poconos Mountains with my partner.

• Go on a Hike

Hike through the trails of the mountains while exploring the native wildlife and plants. Walk through the Austin T. Blakeslee Natural park or Browning Beaver Meadow to discover the natural wetlands and end your hiking with the waterfall overlooking the area. Hikings are best done during the fall season. The vibrant leaves, though falling on ground, add colors to one’s life.

• Dine at the Romantic Restaurants 

Make your evenings more colorful with a romantic candle-light dinner with your partner in fine dine restaurants. Enjoy the date night or celebrate the anniversary while relishing your taste goblets in a cozy atmosphere with meticulous services in romantic restaurants or enjoy the views while savoring some good food during one of the best couple getaways you will have.

Bask in the last sunlight of the day while sipping on the local beverage made in the breweries, wineries or distilleries. Enjoy the happy hour with your favorite one while tasting the unique handcrafted beverages made with fresh ingredients and expertise.
