"Our Innkeepers Steve Joy are wonderful hosts. When we drove in and were gathering our suitcases, we thought we would need two trips knowing our room was on the second floor. Steve appeared to be going for a walk but stopped and helped us take everything in one trip. In the lobby when we checked in, Steve provided us with all the rules of the B B efficiently and friendly. From the minute we walked in it was obvious that the B B was charming and clean. Steve shared the history of the inn of the original owners as well as his own. Our room was small but to be expected in a home with this many rooms and our bathroom was generous. Lots of pillows ..snowy white linens and charming. Our headboard was a repurposed antique door. The food was amazing. the eggs were cooked perfectly by Steve, and the scones Joy made melted in your mouth. Jen had the pancakes and said they were wonderful. A lovely fruit tray was included along with great coffee. Social distancing, mask wearing, and respect for their guests were very apparent. We especially appreciated that in this time of Covid. We are hoping to go back and stay longer."

"It had been many years since I was last at Skytop, but we decided to drive there for dinner one cold winter's night. The dining room had been renovated with new comfortable chairs, but the lights were too bring and the renovation choices made the setting, which used to feel like the first class dining room on the Titanic, feel more like being on a modern cruise ship. The real problem was when the alt rock cover band started playing in the lobby and overwhelmed the classical/light jazz that was still playing in the dining room. They finally closed the doors (though we got up twice to do so that night despite being 30-40 feet from the main door). Every time the door did open it was like a wave until the doors closed and it reseeded back to a strong undertow. Don't get me wrong I like Coldplay as much as I like Coltrane I just don't want hear both at the same time. The menu was not that extensive especially considering a few ingredients seem to dominate multiple dishes. The salads were good with large portions served in even larger bowls. The risotto was gluey and comprised of inconsistently cooked arborio overall lacking in depth of flavor. At $100+ per person (we didnt drink much since we were not staying over and they didnt really try to have us order more) we were expecting a better experience and meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive, but glasses (including water) were left empty on the table for a long time. It's hard to not write a great review because it is clear they are trying; though it seems like they don't know if they are trying to be an elegant, fine dining setting or something trendy. Unfortunately trying to be both 1930s and 2020s results in it feeling more like the mid 1990s. Where they have succeeded, is the lobby and bar which were renovated since the last visit as well, but retained the old elegance and charm with restored fireplaces, and comfortable seating. Next time I think we would just go for drinks."

"Very empty....3 other diners in a huge place. The food was ok.....the service was good but nothing special...the bug problem was...we wasn't guest of the hotel we was staying at another resort 20 minutes away, we uber there but once we tried to go home.....no uber or Lyft in the area, we was basically stranded out there for an hour and the people there at the resort was short and rude with us. The hospitality went out the window once they got our money for the food that wasn't worth the price. Somehow after being stranded in the lobby an uber finally was in the area and that nightmare was over."

"When we checked out, the front desk staff asked about our experience, and I expressed my disappointment with the room. They mentioned they would have been willing to move us, which made me question why they didn't offer that option earlier. Another concern was the HVAC system. Our visit coincided with unusually warm weather, and our room faced the afternoon sun. Even with the windows open, the room felt like it was 77 degrees. When I inquired about turning on the air conditioning, I discovered that the hotel has an outdated system that only allows for heating or cooling—never both at the same time. The AC typically doesn't kick in until later in the season, which left our room uncomfortably warm in the afternoons—a consideration that the staff should have taken into account. On a brighter note, the resort grounds are stunning, and there are a variety of activities available. We enjoyed lawn bowling (similar to bocce), axe throwing at a cost of $30 per person (which was a blast), and complimentary afternoon tea with cookies (entertaining to watch the kids enjoy). We also explored the beautiful lake loop while hiking and took a swim in the indoor pool. The resort provides various arts and crafts, face painting for children, a game room, live music in the evenings, and a lovely porch with rocking chairs. There’s a golf course, playground, boating, shooting opportunities, and an outdoor pool—plenty to keep anyone entertained! However, dining options are somewhat limited, and not all restaurants operate at the same time. The Windsor, located on the main floor, is a charming white-tablecloth restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner, but during our stay, the only option available was a $25 breakfast buffet, which we ended up having for both breakfast and dinner. We found the Taproom bistro to be frustratingly slow on our first visit—taking about 50 minutes to serve our dinner—and the food was only average. The bistro is open for both lunch and dinner. The Corner Roast offers morning coffee and pastries, which is another breakfast option in the hotel. We enjoyed sandwiches from The Market, which has seating in a nice courtyard. We didn't try the Lakeview restaurant located at the Inn, just a few minutes away. Overall, I would rate this resort four stars, but I feel compelled to lower it to three stars due to the uncomfortable room and some dining challenges. I advise future guests to confirm they have a comfortable room before unpacking. Additionally, if you have young children who go to bed early, ensure your room is situated away from the lobby area, as the music can be quite loud until 10 PM."

"The host could use a bit of coaching in terms of approachability and vocal presence, as they seemed quite shy and reserved for someone greeting guests at the restaurant. However, I'm sure it's just a matter of practice, as we were seated without issue. The menu matches what's currently available online and offers a nice selection of pub fare, including salads, sandwiches, burgers, special entrees, and a few unique bites. I found the prices to be reasonable for the location. What truly impressed us was the flavor. I usually bring my own spices because I've been let down by the lack of flavor in the Poconos before. I ordered the Cajun burger with sweet potato fries and was in heaven with its juicy, sweet, and savory taste. The pickles were thickly sliced, the remoulade was perfectly applied, and the chicken was fresh and not overly crispy. The brioche bun held up well, although I ultimately had to finish it with a knife and fork. My partner had the Impossible bacon burger, which was equally juicy and flavorful. The bacon was freshly cooked to perfection. Naturally, we had to return so my partner could try the Cajun burger too. We also ordered the PA appetizer plate, which amusingly came on a Pennsylvania-shaped cutting board. It included sauces in cups and side plates, but I must warn you that it’s a hefty amount of delicious food—perfect for sharing among four people or taking leftovers home! I also sampled the beef stew, which was served in a charming cauldron. It was hearty and came in a generous portion. My only minor complaints are that the service was a bit slow—though it is a resort, so the leisurely atmosphere fits—and the fries lacked salt, which they really needed. Seriously, this place provides a fantastic dining experience!"
