Imagine this: crisp mountain air fills your lungs, the scent of pine mingles with faint woodsmoke, and sunlight dances through canopies of red, gold, and amber. It’s the kind of day that feels like a page from your favorite love story. At Skytop Lodge, romance is part of the landscape. From sunrise strolls to sunset sips, we create the perfect backdrop for couples seeking connection, adventure, and a little magic.
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous escape or a carefully thought-out surprise, Skytop’s blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and cozy corners invites you to slow down and savor each other’s company. Here’s how to craft the ultimate romantic day date at Skytop Lodge—one that feels tailor-made for two.
There’s nothing quite like exploring hand in hand. At Skytop, miles of private hiking trails wind through forests alive with fiery hues. Pause by tumbling waterfalls like Indian Ladder Falls, share a quiet moment by our serene lakeshores, or snap a selfie against a backdrop of sweeping mountain vistas. Love a little wildlife spotting? Join a guided nature hike to learn about local flora and fauna—it’s a thoughtful, shared experience perfect for couples who love discovery.
Pro Tip: Bring along a thermos of hot cider from the lodge to enjoy at a scenic overlook. Few things are more romantic than sipping something warm while wrapped in autumn’s glow.
After your morning adventure, indulge in a leisurely breakfast at Windsor. Think fluffy buttermilk pancakes drizzled in warm syrup, decadent omelets filled with local produce, and the clink of mimosas against panoramic views of the lake and golf course. Or, for something even cozier, grab coffee and pastries from Corner Roast and take them outside for a picnic under the changing leaves.
Want to elevate your day? Ask about our seasonal chef specials—perfect for couples looking to share a culinary moment together.
For adventurous spirits, Skytop offers endless ways to create memories. During the summer and fall, glide across the glassy surface of Skytop Lake in a tandem kayak or paddleboard, rent bikes to explore winding trails, or even try clay shooting and archery for a playful competitive twist. In autumn, our championship golf course becomes a canvas of color, making even a casual round feel extraordinary.
Planning a fall getaway? Consider timing your visit with one of our seasonal events like hayrides, pumpkin carving workshops, or cider tastings for couples.
No romantic day date is complete without a toast. Cozy up in The Taproom, where you’ll find a carefully curated wine list perfect for all palates and preferences. Prefer to venture out? Nearby wineries and cideries—like RAW Urban Winery & Hard Cidery—offer tastings of crisp chardonnays, robust reds, and spiced ciders. It’s the perfect excuse for an afternoon drive through the scenic Poconos.
As the day winds down, find a spot on the South Lawn or the Inn’s veranda to watch the sunset set the mountains aglow. Pack a blanket, settle in with hot cocoa or cider, and enjoy quiet conversation as nature puts on its evening show. For couples who love photography, golden hour at Skytop offers countless opportunities for breathtaking shots.
When the evening chill sets in, retreat to one of Skytop’s many inviting nooks. Sip cider by the outdoor fire pits, toast marshmallows for s’mores, or curl up inside by the grand fireplace with a seasonal latte. Let conversation flow as the glow of the fire reflects in your partner’s eyes—these simple, soulful moments are what memories are made of.
Sometimes one day just isn’t enough. With our Skytop Packages, you can extend your escape into a full romantic getaway.
