The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is the perfect destination to spend the long Labor Day holiday weekend, or even come during the week and beat the crowds! Looking for a place to stay now? The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort will have you captivated by the majestic mountain scenery and historic charm. Sitting on the banks of the pristine Delaware River and at the foothills of the 70,000 acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area allows you to make your own itinerary for your trip. You can start off with a hike along the Delaware River on the McDade Trail and then check out Shawnee River Trips! They provide 3, 6 and 9 mile trips that leave or end right at the Shawnee Inn. So all you need to do now is choose what mode of transportation you will be floating down the river on! We have kayaks, canoes and rafts! You can even try the Hawaiian tradition of Stand-up Paddle Boarding! The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort offers a 27-hole championship Poconos golf course, a driving range and a 6-hole Chip and Putt course lit for night play for children or adults learning how to play the game or looking for a shorter round, complimentary to hotel guests. Play a pickup game of volleyball, a match of tennis, roast s’mores at the campfire or just sit on the veranda in a rocking chair and watch the river go by, the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort has it all! What’s going on in the community that week? The Shawnee Farmer’s Market is every Tuesday right on Grand Lawn with live music at 7pm for our Community Concert Series. Cyrano the Musical, a children’s play also kicks off the week of Labor Day at the Shawnee Playhouse located within walking distance to the Shawnee Inn. Shawnee Mountain hosts the annual Pocono Garlic Festival Saturday and Sunday August 30 and 31st just a few miles up the road and the End of Season Church of the Mountain Summer Gazebo Concerts holds is last concert Sunday evening in Delaware Water Gap just 2 miles from our property. The National Park Service offers complimentary shuttles around our local area on the weekends that will pick you and your family right up from the Shawnee Inn. We are located 70 miles from New York City and 100 miles from Philadelphia just 2 mile off interstate 80 so it is easy to get here, but we can’t promise it will be easy for your family to leave after you have experienced all there is to do here at Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. Come see why people return year after year!
