    So much potential
    We visited Skytop for a milestone birthday celebration with 21 people. This was the third visit for this group so we love what Skytop offers - family accommodations, several activities, the ability to eat together. We have been at Skytop three times in January/February - one time the property was covered in snow, one time we experienced a tornado and power outage and this time we had an ice storm. The resort was able to entertain and feed us in all of these scenarios. We always stay in the cottages which each are two sets of two connecting rooms. It really works for families of up to 6. This trip we went tubing in the pouring rain and everyone had a ball. Towards the end of our time on the hill they shut down one of the two tracks because it was getting dangerously slippery. The staff was very kind to be out in the rain to run the lift. It costs $10 per person and you have to fill out a lengthy release of claims form for each participant so allow time to do that. Frustratingly, despite being the only participants for tubing, the staff asked me not to park in the tubing parking lot but instead park at the ski lift parking lot (which is not far but it was pouring). I feel like this is evidence of an overall theme I have about our stay: there is not a service mindset at the resort. Staff is friendly but i one expressed any inclination to be attentive or proactive. This was wildly apparent in the main dining room where each dinner took almost 3 hours. Again, the staff is kind and friendly but no one seems to be hustling or motivated to create a positive experience. Skytop has the right elements - it just needs the right management to motivate staff to enhance the service to align with the grandeur of the property.
    Thank you for taking the time to write your review. It appears there's much history and fond memories with Skytop. I appreciate your concerns regarding attentiveness and will certainly address those concerns. Looking forward to your next visit. -Jeff

    I cannot believe I spent so many years not knowing about Skytop. We arrived late and were warmly greeted by Bradley. He patiently provided all the details about the available restaurants & activities. The Bellman pointed out the observation deck on the top floor, which has neat historical significance related to World War 2. Being a city dweller I was blown away by the quiet and all the stars. Their safety protocols in the wake of Covid-19 were very reassuring and the staff adheres to them consistently. Since the resort has so much space we felt it was easy to social distance. We took advantage of the kayak and bike rentals on our first day and loved exploring from these two perspectives. The second day we enjoyed time by the pristine outdoor pool and a hike to Indian Ladder falls. The trails are SO well maintained and are reserved exclusively for guests and residents of Skytop. We spent some time at nearby Bushkill Falls which turned out to be uncomfortably crowded, in retrospect we should have just stayed on property for our whole vacation. Overall it was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. I cannot wait to return to see what the resort looks like during the Autumn with the leaves changing, and at Christmas with the decorations. You can tell that the people who work here really care about this place and take great pride in what they do.

    The staff make up for the shortfalls
    My husband and I went to the lodge for a four-night COVID safe mini-break. We were initially put into a room that was very small and dated, but when we complained the staff gave us a tour of other rooms and put us up in a better room at no cost. Every staff member that I interacted with was amazing, and I kind of want to be friends with them in real life. On the down side, the food left something to be desired, perhaps because we are vegetarians we didn’t experience their good options, but apart from the first night the food was consistently terrible and extremely over priced for what it was. We left early just because we were hungry and had been for three days—but management refunded us for the last day of food and the last nights stay. So, again, the staff and customer service makes up for the shortcomings. As a young vegetarian couple looking for excitement, this was not our cup of tea—we were bored. But I could see it being a great fit for families or older folks looking to chill on rocking chairs. Also, the pool is fantastic.
    Thank you for taking the time to write your review and your kind words regarding our Team - that goes a long way! I apologize for our missteps during your stay and hope you can return. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. All the best, Jeff

This is an amazingly lovely spot and hotel. “ Breathtaking” is maybe an exaggeration. But not much of one. It is a very beautiful building in a very beautiful spot. The library bar is great. The observation deck gives an absolutely amazing view. The staff are uniformly very friendly and helpful. The staff are terrific We ate in the Taproom. This is a bar in the basement and - as good as the staff and scenery were - the food did not match them. The menu is standard bar menu but the food came out either tepid or over- fried or, in some cases, both. The PA Platter as a starter was especially bad. A meh pretzel with meh sauces/ mustard and other stuff that may have had names but really did not have a taste beyond “ fried “ Yes. Bar food is bar food and we all know we are going to get fried options. But this wasn’t v good. The people ( staff) working there are nice and made me and the group feel very welcome. So hats off to them Also. It is a very very pretty place But someone needs to review the menu and actually see how the dishes taste when they are served to customers ( not how they taste to managers but how they taste to regular customers) Even for bar food and all the pluses of the place I’m sorry to say that the food wasn’t great. No matter how great the staff and the scenery ( both of which were pretty great ) I’d like to see some better reviews before I eat here again. There is a posh restaurant upstairs that we did NOT try and may be much better. This is just my experience of the Taproom downstairs. And for sure come here for a drink It’s a fabulous place to see. And the staff are terrific.

Our second visit to Skytop had one goal- Serenity. We loved our visit in April and planned to enjoy everything in practical privacy. Skytop dropped one major ball- they were doing construction on the rooms directly above ours and did not mention it once during check in. This was a literal rude awakening on our first morning but since the noise stopped before lunch and we had a fantastic day otherwise, we let it go. Until the same thing happened the second morning- hammering directly above us before 9am. I grumpily went to the front desk and I will say they were happy to offer a variety of rooms to give us a chance for quiet on our 3rd and final morning. But to not have told us before, or just made sure not to put people below construction given the place was practically empty was a major cut to our relaxation and trust. Smaller downsides- the Callaways available menu was nothing at all what was posted and even their cut back menu wasn't fully available, there was no fire on the 2nd night, all the salads are pre made with no personalization, and the hot tub got a leak. These things were minor and forgiven but still unexpected. With that out of the way- Skytop is clearly trying to stay top of the game and improving at every area. Directly asking for anything was taken as an opportunity to be cared for, the concierges are phenomenal, the Butterfly hutch is a marvel, Windsor restaurant was a special experience in itself. The pool, gym, locker areas were impeccably maintained and checked. I had the romance package and the cute little flower setting, champagne, and credits were indeed a special extra worth having. Oddly the afternoon cookies are always phenomenal but the shortbread cookies were dry- though the extra touches in decorating absolutely created the special welcome they were aiming for. I can still recommend Skytop to just about anyone, but in the future I'll be making sure to ask at check in what the conditions are for maintenence in our room.

Although we didn't stay here, we did stop by and checked the lodge and grounds out. The place is beautiful and immaculate. Landscaping is gorgeous. There's a lake, golf, two pools, etc. The small coffee shop had the best croissants for breakfast! Maybe some day we can afford to stay overnight.

My family and I had an amazing time! The food was delicious - which was great because our toddler is extremely picky. Everyone was so welcoming and nice! We went for my husbands birthday and I requested for a cake - they made this amazing big cake! Above and beyond! There are a lot of activities that everyone can enjoy (we have a 4 year old and 1 year old). We definitely hope to come back soon!

High end resort in the Poconos. Tipping expected, parking my own car earned me a raised eyebrow. But this historic lodge has a great deal to offer. We only stayed briefly and could not sample the outdoor activities. We ate in the brewery restaurant and had one of the best burgers ever. Could have fed 2 people with one burger; sweet potato tots were a treat. Would stay here again for sure.

Spectacular family venue with a wonderful host of activities for all ages. The lawn bowling was great fun and the walks around the lake were wonderful! It's a perfect distance for people coming from Massachusetts, New York State, Pennsylvania and Viriginia.

The best experience ever! I can’t believe I never knew about this place before. My husband and I went there and it was marvelous. The hotel and the grounds are stunning. Our room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable! (I will have to find out what mattress they have.) Staff went above and beyond! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was downright amazing! The trails made for a lovely early morning walk. The activities were a lot of fun. I can’t stop thinking about how peaceful it was there. My husband loved it so much he asked me if I wanted to go back in September so I’m glad we are going back. We are retired so we plan on visiting Skytop a couple of times a year!!!

This is a beautiful hotel with old world charm. I am very grateful we got the opportunity to stay at this historical venue! We really enjoyed the view from the roof and the spa was so relaxing. The hotel staff was polite, courteous with great attention to details.

Memorial w/e 3 generation gathering -- wonderful time x 8 -- plenty to do. Previously would spend New Years' weekends ~ 40 years ago. What's changed? Happily very little: outstanding food (evening meals in all 3 venues), spotless care everywhere and a long tradition of truly happy workers and staff (a hallmark), The added adventure areas are awesome
