The Swiftwater

Deer drift down from the hills at dusk to feed just outside the lounge windows, and guests tend to go quiet when it happens. This Pocono Mountains resort pairs soaring wood-and-stone architecture with marble and warm timber inside, fireplaces and velvet armchairs keeping things from tipping too far into lodge-grand. Many suites have private heated plunge pools, and the indoor-outdoor pool lets you swim while snow falls.
