How many of you have ever had the pleasure of visiting the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania? We are very fortunate that we can reach the Poconos in about 2 1/2 hours by car. We love going up there in the late spring and early fall seasons. If you love looking at fall foliage, you’ll want to visit in early October.
A few months ago I was invited to go on a press/media trip up to Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mt. Pocono. I wrote 2 extensive posts on our trip which I featured on my Pennsylvania and Beyond Travel Blog. You can visit my travel blog to read about them.
Since we have a “travel feature” here on The Classy Chics, I wanted to share some photos with you and some information about Mount Airy over here too!
Mount Airy Casino Resort is a AAA 4 Diamond Rated Resort that has won numerous awards. They offer luxury accommodations, on-site modern & fast-paced casino with slots and table games, numerous on-site restaurants, a candy shop, gift shop, spa & hair salon, indoor and outdoor (in-season) swimming pools, championship golf course, party & wedding venues, corporate & business events, music concerts, comedy shows and so much more!
As soon as you walk into their main entrance you are standing in a luxurious lobby with an indoor waterfall which is really beautiful to see. This is where you’ll find the front desk if you’re checking-in and staying overnight and their gift shop. You can head up the stairs, take the elevator or the escalator to go to the casino floor. Just a warning, no cameras are allowed in the casino!
Our guest suite was fantastic! We had 2 king-sized beds, a comfy sitting chair with table, desk & chair, nice-sized closet and a luxury bathroom that was split into 3 mini rooms (vanity, shower and toilet area). The photo above shows the view out our 3rd story window which shows the lake and their championship golf course across from that!
I was absolutely impressed with their indoor swimming pool which had mini waterfalls, plenty of swimming space, sitting areas and those cabanas all along both sides of the pool were really cool. There is also a poolside bar for drinks and you can order lunch and have it delivered poolside too. They often hold club-style events poolside which garners big crowds during the evening and nighttime hours.
The entire resort is nestled in the mountains and surrounded by woodlands. You get gorgeous views from all four sides. I loved walking around their property and checking out the scenery. We had a great time at Mount Airy Resort and plan on visiting again next year!
Disclosure: We received a complimentary weekend stay, including meals during a press/media trip to Mount Airy Casino Resort. No monetary compensation was received. Regardless of receiving a complimentary stay, all words and thoughts expressed in this travel feature are my 100% unbiased opinion.
I read your reviews on Pennsylvania & Beyond and would love to go to the Poconos and visit Mount Airy Resort
I love these pictures! I have never been too this are but have heard so beautiful it is. I really like inside of the hotel, so many things to do. The scenery is so beautiful too. I bet it was a great time and you got some activities in as well as some relaxing.
Wow, I would like to spend a week at this place. I have never been to the Pocono Mountains yet but I have heard from friends that it is so beautiful. I hope to make a trip there someday.

Wow, I love that waterfall. Honestly, if I were there, I would set up camp by the pool & refuse to move, lol.

i have never been to the Poconos, or even the East Coast for that matter, but this South Texas girl always gets impressed when she sees pictures of beautifully colored fall foliage, since we dont really get that here.
i hope you enjoyed your trip and look forward to more pictures to come
