Pocono Mountain Villas by Exploria Resorts sits along River Road in East Stroudsburg, tucked into the wooded northern Poconos near the Delaware Water Gap. The condo-style villas are built for room to breathe: studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts come with full kitchens, electric fireplaces, whirlpool jacuzzi tubs, and in-suite washer/dryers. On the grounds you’ll find a heated indoor pool, a seasonal outdoor pool, a game room with billiards and arcade, mini-golf, an 18-hole golf course, and the Warehouse Tavern & Grill for a relaxed bite without leaving the resort.

There is plenty to do without ever driving off-property: Blue Lightning summer tubing, White Lightning winter snow tubing, the Pocono TreeVentures aerial ropes course, and Bushkill Riding Stables all sit on-site, with a free courtesy shuttle and a daily activities program tying it together. Venture out and Bushkill Falls, the ‘Niagara of Pennsylvania,’ is six miles away, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is a 15-minute drive, and Camelback, Kalahari, and Pocono Raceway are all easy day trips.
