The French Manor Inn and Spa
The French Manor Inn and Spa is an enchanting stone chateau overlooking the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Poconos mountains, making it an ideal location for an autumn weekend escape. It was built in 1937 by mining magnate Joseph Hirshhorn, shortly before the outbreak of World War II in Europe, The Poconos region soon became a family destination for GI’s on leave, as well as a romantic getaway for young couples who often later returned as honeymooners. Hirshhorn decided to build a manor house for his summers and holidays and soon brought Italian and German craftsmen to help create his vision on Huckleberry Mountain, using only natural lumber and fieldstone from local quarries.
Travel abroad without leaving the country with a visit to the northern mountains of Pennsylvania. The lush surroundings serve as a nurturing escape from the urban chaos of everyday life in the city.
