Four Seasons, One Pocono Home Base
The Poconos by Season

Know What Changes With the Calendar
Year-Round Stays and Seasonal Experiences
The Resort stays open all year, but not every accommodation or activity operates the same way in every season.
Cabins & Adult-Only Luxury Suites
Two- and three-bedroom cabins and adult-only Luxury Suites are available throughout the year according to current availability. These are the core lodging options for winter stays as well as spring, summer, and fall trips.
3-Season Stays & Warm-Weather Lake Use
Cottages, apartments, and the Farmhouse operate only during their seasonal period. Swimming, rowboats, beach use, and other lake activities also depend on season, weather, current conditions, and Resort rules.
Two Ways to Experience Every Season
Enjoy the Resort, Explore the Region, or Do Both
Some days can stay entirely at Mountain Springs Lake Resort. Other days can take you to hiking trails, waterfalls, mountain attractions, waterparks, shopping, dining, skiing, seasonal events, and other Pocono destinations.
The season changes what is available, but the basic advantage stays the same: you can explore the Poconos and return to a private lake-and-woods setting afterward.
