Deep within the Pocono Mountains and only 80 miles from New York City lies the inviting retreat known as the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. With rich awe-inspiring views and fantastic amenities this 80 room historic inn is the perfect destination to leave the "beltway blues" behind.

Nestled along the Delaware river, the Inn is well known as a golf retreat for New Yorkers. The flexible facilities and countless activities provide the perfect environment for any weekend getaway and is only a 4 hour drive from Washington DC.

Accommodations: With a variety of rooms at affordable rates the inn has every type of accommodation to to meet any need. Each room is tastefully appointed and instills a cozy yet elegant feel of years gone by. Some of the rooms have beautiful views of the Delaware River and the world famous Appalachian Mountains of Worthington State Park.

With a lodge style touch perfect for large groups, the Delaware court is located alongside the fairway of the red course. Each room has two trundle beds and overlooking the course. One of the best extras of these select accommodations is the large Japanese soaking tubs that are perfect for nursing those aching muscles "back to new" for your next round.

Dining and Amenities: The romantic and elegant atmosphere of the Dogwood Dining Room offers a wide variety of cuisine. The well appointed wait staff and service is first rate.

If a more "laid-back" dining experience is your preference, then Charlie's Lounge has a fun feel with great bar food. The full service bar is a perfect 19th hole for that cold beer after your round and the big screen TV is perfect for catching up on the weekends televised PGA event.

Recreation:  The Shawanee Inn is the only resort on the water for a 100 mile stretch of the Delaware River. They offer day and overnight trips of varying duration by canoe and kayak, as well as day trips by river rafts and tubes.

With a heated indoor pool, any day is a good day for a dip. The Jacuzzi tube is close by to restore those aching muscles. It's our favorite way to get your body rejuvenated and ready for that next round of golf.

Golf: The golf course was designed and built in 1906 by A.W. Tillinghast. The same course designer who designed Winged Foot and Baltusrol. With a variable mix of tree lined Par 4's and Par 3's with little room for error, an accurate shot maker will score well at Shawnee. READ OUR COURSE REVIEW HERE.
