Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A stunning Poconos retreat with a rich past, this unique mountain oasis is listed on National Register of Historic Places and feels like a step back in time, with its rustic buildings and unspoiled natural surroundings. (You’d never guess it’s just 30 minutes outside Scranton, and two and a half hours from both Philadelphia and NYC.)
- Your choices for gathering spaces include the turn-of-the-century Watres Lodge overlooking Lake Lacawac, a spacious tent beneath the towering trees, and a sweet, intimate carriage house with many of its original antique detailings. You’ll find still more places to celebrate across the beautiful grounds.
- There’s plentiful overnight accommodation between the lodge’s nine bedrooms and the Ice House Cottage, which features a large community area and a newly renovated kitchen. Best yet, your rental fees directly support the maintenance and stewardship of this special property for future generations.
