“I've frequented Lynn's many many times over the years, and Thursdays with Trish is always the best time! I by chance came in tonight (Monday) and had t the pleasure of meeting Anya, and she was fantastic! Had a great time! Thank you Lynn's for the fabulous service!!”

“The lodge is beautiful and our room was very pleasant overlooking the golf course. I had an excellent cheese steak at the restaurant/bar! Overall a very nice stay.”

“The Lodge at MSL was absolutely wonderful. We got married in December and it had just snowed the day before so it was a literal white wonderland. We’ve also been there during the spring, and it is just as breathtaking.

Sharon was our coordinator and she worked with us since 2024 and all throughout 2025. She was quick with her responses and made sure we were happy with our choices. I gave birth the month prior to our wedding and she definitely made sure our newborn was accommodated for. She also noticed that I was frazzled and stressed the night before and day of, but she took care of everything and made sure I had exactly what I needed and helped navigate the rehearsal and the day.

Our guests would not stop raving about the food and it was all they would talk about during the holiday parties that followed. I’ve also heard compliments from my guests about how friendly the staff was during the event. We even requested our server from our tasting 7 months prior and she came the day that she’s typically off just to serve our sweetheart table.

Our photographer, Evan, even captured just how simply beautiful our day was. He even praised how stunning the Lodge is when we told him that it was our venue of choice.

We would highly recommend the Lodge because they really do make you feel like family.”

“Stayed here for a Saturday night while skiing at Shawnee and had a great time. The location can’t be beat, the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was worth it to fuel up before skiing. The only complaints being that the walls are pretty thin so you can hear everything going on around you. However, the hotel has an old charm to it that you can’t find anywhere else. Would recommend!”

“Really like this place. Kids love it, too. Enthralling scavenger hunt, fun water rides

The food in the lodge is overpriced and not good. Everything tastes like creosote/smoked paprika and costs a small fortune. There is a great and affordable family diner next door (kids though they stepped into a time machine), a delicious Jamaican place 5 mins North, and Pho 5 minutes north of that - so location for food is surprisingly good

Rooms: Spacious and appealing with cute kids cabin.

Nearby activities: Better Food options than we expected, skiing, camelback, gun ranges, poconos outlets

Safety: Very safe

Walkability: Rooms are a long walk, but good excercise

Food and drinks: Drinks are ok, food is not good. They need to do better.

Noteworthy details: Magiquest is interesting and a top-tier scavenger hunt that forces kids to get excercise”

“We live in a condo, and there's a dog park, most people don't pick up. So we decided to bring our 2 dogs on a doggie vacation.

I must say the set-up was amazing. *The house was the Delaware. 3b/1bth*
I have 2 CKCS, and they're friendly, overly, but bark at dogs bc they want to play. I was worried that we would disturb others trying to enjoy theirs as well, but I loved that they thought of everything and placed the yards in a way where you can't see other dogs. The deck was lined with bushes, it was so lovely.

There's great food in the area, The Resort gives you all the necessary info you need to know in the binder.

In the summer, we booked the *Apache- 3b/2bth
And we can't wait ???????✌️”

“My booking got canceled bc I didn’t have enough funds in my account, front desk helped us get a different room quickly. Honestly was clean will definitely come back for our next festival.”

“The wife and I are staying for 3 nights.....the whole place is empty.... Feels like the Shinning... Price is on point.... Dude at the bar who served me breakfast was Kool....Staff is even hard to find.... We love it.... Me and the wife made so much noise and I violate insurance at the crazy level that would have gotten this thrown out of other hotels.... Four stars because the room is draftye”
