I’ve stayed in many mountain retreats, but Ledges Hotel really took my breath away. Nestled between ancient rock ledges and the rushing Paupack High Falls, it blends history, art, and natural beauty in one unforgettable Pocono escape. What began in 1890 as a glass factory now feels like a stylish sanctuary—with warm hospitality, creative cuisine, and nature all around you.

If you’re like me and can’t resist a good trail or paddle, you’ll love how close you are to hiking paths and Lake Wallenpaupack. You’ll find plenty of ways to explore the beauty of the Poconos.

What to Expect

  • Location: You’ll find the hotel at 119 Falls Avenue in Hawley, PA—tucked right into the heart of nature but still close to town.
  • Setting: You’ll be surrounded by waterfalls, rock ledges, and fresh mountain air. I couldn’t get enough of those views.

  • Experience: Whether you’re in a cozy room or a spacious suite, you’ll feel like it was designed just for you. Every space has a unique layout and lovely views.

Hotel Highlights

  • Historic Foundation: I found it fascinating that this was once the John S. O’Connor Glass Factory. You’ll see nods to that history throughout.
  • Design: You’ll notice the original glass prints and industrial-chic accents. I appreciated how they honored the building’s past while keeping things fresh and modern.

Room & Suite Features

  • Contemporary Rooms: I stayed in a smaller room on a solo trip once and found it perfect—cozy but thoughtfully designed with comfortable seating.
  • Suites: For longer stays or special occasions, I’d go for a one- or two-bedroom suite. You’ll get full kitchens, spiral staircases, and beautiful bathrooms.
  • Amenities: I loved the organic bath products and bamboo towels—everything felt carefully chosen and eco-friendly.
  • Special Features: If you can, ask for a room with a soaking tub or steam shower. I did once, and it turned a rainy day into a spa retreat.

On-Site Attractions

  • Multi-tier Decks: You’ll want to start and end your day here. I spent hours on these decks—reading, sipping coffee, and just watching the water below.
  • Glass Wine.Bar.Kitchen: This is one of my favorite Pocono restaurants. You’ll love the local menu and the peaceful views over the gorge.
  • The Great Room: I found this space especially inviting in the evenings. You’ll find comfy couches, a warm fireplace, and a good book or board game waiting for you.
  • Walled Garden: I like to sneak out here with my morning coffee—it’s quiet, beautiful, and feels like your own secret hideaway.

Nearby Attractions

  • Lake Wallenpaupack: I’ve boated and kayaked here in every season—it’s always beautiful. You can also fish, swim, or take a scenic lake cruise.
  • Hawley Silk Mill: Just a short walk away, you’ll find shops, cafés, and even a yoga studio. I always stop in for local gifts or a fresh pastry.
  • Costa’s Family Fun Park: If you’re bringing kids, this is a must. You’ll find go-karts, bumper boats, and mini golf to keep them smiling.
  • Golf: Woodloch Springs is one of the most scenic courses I’ve played. You’ll be surrounded by mountains and tall trees—it’s a peaceful round of golf.

Outdoor Activities

  • Hiking: I always pack hiking shoes. Bingham Park, Lacawac Sanctuary, and Promised Land State Park offer trails for all levels, and the views are worth every step.
  • Water Sports: I’ve kayaked both Lake Wallenpaupack and the Lackawaxen River. You’ll love being on the water with nature all around.

  • Event Spaces: Whether it’s an anniversary dinner or small gathering, you’ll find the Great Room, Serenity Deck, or Glass Bistro create the perfect setting.
  • Weddings: If I were planning a wedding, this would be on my shortlist. You’ll get nature, elegance, and warm, personal service from start to finish.

Visitor Tips

  • Reservations: Book early if you’re visiting during peak seasons. I always reserve well ahead for suites with kitchens or soaking tubs—they go fast.
  • Dining: Definitely make a reservation at Glass if you’re coming on a weekend. I’ve seen it fill up fast—it’s that popular (and that good).
  • What to Pack: Bring hiking shoes, a swimsuit, and a light jacket. The mountain air cools off at night, and you’ll want to be ready for every kind of outing.
