Frequently Asked Questions
These 17 properties span roughly 60 miles of northeast Pennsylvania. Wilkes-Barre proper has chain hotels near Mohegan Sun Arena starting around $105, but the standout tub experiences sit in smaller towns. Hawley, 40 minutes northeast, has The Settlers Inn with deep soaking tubs and an on-site farm-to-table restaurant. White Haven, 30 minutes south, puts you at the base of Camelback Mountain for ski-and-soak weekends. Andreas and Benton are rural: gorgeous B&Bs, but plan on driving for dinner.

The Settlers Inn operates a farm-to-table restaurant that pulls diners who are not even staying overnight. Camelback Mountain is a ten-minute drive from the White Haven cabins during ski season.
Silver Birches in Hawley pairs a lakefront clawfoot tub with a strong setting, but reviews flag musty rooms and weak water pressure.
