Northeast PA is a unique combination of endless mountains, historic sites, and modern business. There are so many activities and attractions nearby, that you may have a hard time choosing just a few. Below is a list of recommendations that our staff has put together for you.


THE CASINO AT MOHEGAN SUN POCONO

The Woodlands is the closest full-service hotel to Pennsylvania’s first casino. The Casino at Mohegan Sun Pocono is a great destination for gaming and entertainment. The Woodlands offers a courtesy shuttle to the casino, so you don’t have to worry about transportation. There’s no better place than this to tempt Lady Luck. Ask an associate about shuttle times and availability.
