Skytop Lodge vs Carriage House Country Club

Skytop Lodge is a historic, full-service estate resort on a 5,500-acre property with multiple restaurants, an Aquatic Center, golf and year-round outdoor activities — good for families, groups and couples who want a classic Pocono resort experience.

Quick Verdict: Skytop Lodge vs Carriage House Country Club

When Skytop Lodge wins: choose Skytop if you want a historic, full-service resort with many on-site activities (golf, trails, Adventure Center), several dining venues, a full spa, and a larger property geared to families and events.

When Carriage House Country Club wins: pick Carriage House Country Club if you prefer smaller, condo-style accommodations with kitchenettes, simpler resort amenities, free self parking and easy drives to nearby waterparks and casinos.

Bottom line: Skytop is the higher‑service, activity-forward historic resort; Carriage House Country Club is a lower‑rated, practical resort-condo option for visitors who prioritize condo space and proximity to Pocono Manor attractions.

Location: Skytop Lodge vs Carriage House Country Club

Skytop Lodge – Location

Skytop sits on a private 5,500-acre estate in Skytop, offering lakes, trails and on-site activities.

  • Set on a large private estate with hiking trails, lakes and an 18-hole golf course.
  • About 40–50 minutes from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport; roughly two hours from Philadelphia or New York by car.
  • On-property transport and shuttle services are available for resort guests.

Skytop is a destination property where the estate and on-site activities are the main draw.

  • Address: 390 Manor Drive, Pocono Manor, Pennsylvania.
  • Close driving distance to Kalahari, Mount Airy Casino, Great Wolf Lodge and Camelback area attractions.
  • Preferred airport listed as Wilkes-Barre Scranton Intl. (AVP).

Carriage House is convenient for visitors using Pocono Manor as a base for nearby waterparks, casinos and family attractions.

Rooms: cottage suites vs kitchenettes

Skytop Lodge – Rooms

Skytop offers a mix of historic lodge rooms and suites designed for families and couples.

  • 193 rooms and suites across four floors, including 48 suites and multiple room categories.
  • Rollaway beds available on request (fee); pack-and-plays available on request.
  • Free Wi‑Fi and standard hotel room amenities included; villas/cottages are separate room types on property.

Choose Skytop for variety in room types and larger suite options tied to full-service resort amenities.

Carriage House Country Club – Rooms

Carriage House rooms are condo-style with kitchenettes for self-catering convenience.

  • 85 air-conditioned units with kitchenettes (refrigerator and oven) and flat-screen TVs.
  • Room types: Studio Suite (Max 2 guest), Mini Suite (Max 4 guests), Royal Suite (Max 6 Guests).
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi, safes, microwaves and free self parking reported.

Carriage House is focused on space and kitchenette convenience for families or longer stays.

Dining & drinks: full-service restaurants vs unknown on-site dining

Skytop Lodge – Dining & drinks

Skytop has several on-site dining venues covering formal to casual meals and coffee.

  • Windsor Dining Room (breakfast & dinner, reservations required) and Lakeview (dinner, seasonal).
  • The Taproom serves pub-style meals and local beers; casual options include The Market and Corner Roast.
  • Dress code applies in Windsor and Lakeview; reservations recommended for main dining venues.

Skytop gives you multiple, distinct dining experiences without leaving the property.

Carriage House Country Club – Dining & drinks

Carriage House includes basic guest services but a signature on-site restaurant is not published.

  • Supplier listing notes a 24-hour front desk and concierge services but does not list a signature restaurant.
  • Units have kitchenettes, which supports self-catering or quick meals in-room.
  • Vending machine and barbecues are listed among on-site conveniences.

Expect kitchenette meals or nearby dining in Pocono Manor rather than a range of on-site restaurants.

Pools & signature amenity: Aquatic Center vs simple resort pool

Skytop Lodge – Pools & signature amenity

Skytop’s Aquatic Center and lake beach are central family amenities.

  • Indoor Aquatic Center includes a pool and splash pad (open year-round 9:00 am–9:00 pm).
  • Seasonal lake beach and Wibit water park; hydro spa and dry sauna reserved for 16+.
  • Pool access and Aquatic Center benefits are available to resort guests and homeowners.

Skytop’s water facilities are broad — indoor family play plus seasonal lake activities.

Carriage House Country Club – Pools & signature amenity

Carriage House offers standard indoor pool facilities and a children’s pool.

  • Property lists one indoor pool and a separate children's pool, plus pool sun loungers.
  • Sauna is available for guests; pool and play areas are family-oriented.
  • Pool access details (hours/reservations) should be confirmed with the property.

Carriage House provides basic indoor-pool amenities suitable for families but not the larger aquatic programming of Skytop.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and bars vs limited on-site wellness

Skytop Lodge – Wellness & nightlife

Skytop combines a staffed spa, fitness center and several bars/lounges.

  • The Nest at Skytop Lodge offers massages, facials and specialty treatments (spa guests must be 18+).
  • Fitness center open daily; seasonal fitness classes included in daily service charge.
  • Library Lounge and The Taproom provide late-evening beverage options on the main lodge campus.

Skytop supports both wellbeing treatments and casual evening socializing on-site.

Carriage House Country Club – Wellness & nightlife

Carriage House lists fitness facilities and sauna but no published full-service spa.

  • Fitness facilities and sauna are listed among the property amenities.
  • No signature spa name or full spa treatment menu is published in the supplier listing.
  • On-site arcade/game room and billiards provide family entertainment options indoors.

Carriage House covers basic wellness and indoor entertainment but lacks a published full spa program.
