The Ultimate Girls’ Getaway in the Poconos
As moms, we often find ourselves juggling a million tasks, prioritizing everyone else’s needs above our own. But every now and then, it’s essential to hit the pause button and reconnect with the person we were before the diapers, playdates, and PTA meetings took over. That’s exactly what my best friends from childhood and I decided to do on our first trip together since having kids—a perfect girls’ getaway in the picturesque Poconos Mountains.
Stay in Luxury at Serenité Members Club
Our home base for the weekend was the stunning Serenité Members Club, nestled right at Camelback Mountain. This members-only club offers the most beautiful accommodations, combining luxury with the cozy comforts of home. Our house was spacious, elegantly designed, and provided breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains—check out the reel to see for yourself!
One of the perks we loved was their convenient shuttle service. It allowed us to explore nearby attractions without the hassle of driving, which meant everyone could partake in wine tastings without worry.
Adventure Awaits at Lost Trails ATV Park
Feeling the need for adventure, we headed to Lost Trails ATV Park. Spanning over 2,000 acres, this place is an off-road enthusiast’s dream come true. We opted for a guided UTV tour that was both family-friendly and exhilarating.
Our guide led us through rugged terrains up to the famed “Top of the World,” where the panoramic views left us speechless. We even ventured through historic coal mining tunnels, adding a touch of history to our adrenaline-packed ride. It’s just a 1.5-hour adventure, but the memories will last a lifetime.
Hibachi at Home with Mobile Hibachi 4U
After our outdoor escapades, we wanted a fun yet relaxing evening. Enter Mobile Hibachi 4U! They brought the entire hibachi experience right to our doorstep—grill, chef, food, sake, and all. The chef dazzled us with knife tricks, flaming onion volcanoes, and of course, delicious food cooked to perfection. It was like having a private teppanyaki restaurant in our living room, making it a must-do for any group looking to add a unique twist to their stay.
Soar and Slide at Camelback Resort
No trip to Camelback Mountain is complete without experiencing the thrills at Camelback Resort. We embraced our inner adventurers and took on the 1,000-foot zip line, soaring above the vibrant fall foliage—a perspective of the Poconos you simply can’t miss.
Next up was the Mountain Coaster, where we zipped and zoomed down the mountainside, controlling our own speed. It’s the perfect blend of excitement and scenery, suitable for thrill-seekers and sightseers alike.
Wine and Dine at Mountain View Vineyard
To cap off our incredible weekend, we visited Mountain View Vineyard. The vineyard features the cutest cabins equipped with fire pits, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Luck was on our side as we snagged one and settled in for an afternoon of relaxation.
We indulged in wine flights, savoring the local flavors, and treated ourselves to their delectable wood-fired pizzas. Sitting around the fire, wine in hand, and sharing stories reminded us of why these friendships are so special.
This getaway was more than just a break from routine
From the luxurious stay at Serenité Members Club to the adrenaline rush at Lost Trails ATV Park and the serene moments at Mountain View Vineyard, every experience was a chapter in a weekend we’ll cherish forever.
So, to all the moms out there craving a mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality time with your best friends—start planning your own perfect getaway. Trust me, you deserve it.
Cheers to friendship, fun, and unforgettable moments!
