The Settlers Inn, Hawley Retreat on the on the RIVER Ready to press pause for a bit? Pennsylvania’s riverside lodges make it easy.

At The Settlers Inn at Bingham Park in Hawley, timeless charm meets modern comfort. This lovingly preserved 1920s Arts and Crafts lodge (think native bluestone, chestnut hardwoods, and artisan glasswork) sits on 6 acres along the Lackawaxen Riverland. Each of the unique rooms offers plush bedding, bay windows, and many with fireplaces or Jacuzzi tubs. Stroll serene herb and flower gardens before savoring a farm-to-table feast at the on-site restaurant. In Beach Lake, The Darby brings mid-century flair to a riverside escape. Originally opened in the 1960s, this thoughtfully reimagined retreat offers 27 stylish guest rooms with Bellino linens, and luxury bath products. Set on 17 wooded acres by the Delaware River, guests can unwind in the Hammock Grove, hit private trails, and sip craft cocktails in the oak-paneled lounge. For a classic Pocono Mountains getaway, The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort has been welcoming guests since 1911. Set on 250 lush acres along the Delaware River, the resort boasts an award-winning 27-hole golf course — 24 of those holes perched on a scenic island in the river.
