Friday Fun

Afternoon

Start off your getaway horseback at Mountain Creek Riding Stables! All year long, Mountain Creek offers visitors the option of public trail rides, but you can also book a private group ride to keep it just the girls. No matter what you choose, be sure to let The Swiftwater’s concierge know- they will make booking your ride even easier! Not interested in horseback riding? Check out our blog to learn more about the best springtime activities!

Evening

After your activity-filled day, enjoy an incredible hibachi show and sushi, alongside music and dancing to end off your night at Desaki, our sister property. Then, walk up the sidewalk back to The Swiftwater to “wine” at The Olivet with a handcrafted cocktail, or head back to your room to watch a movie on your 65-inch smart TV. If you want to keep the night going, head to Downtown Stroudsburg and catch a show at The Sherman Theater, then hit the town on Main Street!

Saturday Exploration

In the morning, indulge in a delectable meal at our in-house restaurant, The Olivet, and head out for another exploration-filled day! To start your day off, head down the road to the Pocono Premium Outlets for a plethora of fun stores. If you want to find some hidden gems, we suggest going to Pocono Soap in Downtown Stroudsburg, then hitting up the shops on Main Street.
