2 Best Hotels in Poconos, Pennsylvania

Hitchcock fans and Clue lovers rejoice—the Harry Packer Mansion takes the murder-mystery dinner experience to a whole new level. Every weekend, this Victorian mansion-turned-bed-and-breakfast hosts interactive murder-mystery weekends based on real historical events. Guests are assigned characters Friday night, and the mystery takes place over three sessions Saturday. And while these innovative weekends are certainly the mansion’s main draw, its wallpapered rooms featuring period furniture are certainly an added bonus.

Most locals say this is essentially a wedding venue, but it’s also a great place to stay even if getting hitched isn’t part of your weekend plans. The rooms in this gorgeous countryside inn have faux-antique furniture (some with four-poster and canopy beds); the suites have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. The inn is set on a 300-acre expanse of countryside that overlooks a verdant valley.
