LET'S VISIT PA WITH SANDY FENTON 4.20.24 SKYTOP LODGE/POCONO MOUNTAINS PART 1

Best known and loved (since 1928) as the “Grande dame” of the Pocono Mountains – Skytop Lodge boasts 5,500 private acres of traditions, memories, and stunning natural beauty. The first moment we walked into the spacious and gracious Pine Room lobby (January 1990), we were hooked. My family has loved every Skytop moment since then, and we recently returned with our grandchildren from a multi-generational getaway – and our tradition happily continues. “Let’s Visit PA” spotlights Skytop Lodge in the Pocono Mountains Saturday April 20 & April 27 with Jeff Rudder, General Manager ; Christy Ranallo, Director of Sales & Marketing and Kurt Gockley, Director of Food & Beverage. Skytop Lodge is a AAA Four Diamond award winner and a full-service destination resort with too many activities and adventures to list everything – from skiing, tubing and ice skating in the winter – to golfing, fishing, swimming and tennis/pickleball in the spring/summer – truly a resort for all seasons. Join us Saturday morning April 20 & 27 on “Let’s Visit PA” (or listen anytime wherever you get your podcasts) – and hear all about discovering Skytop Lodge in the Pocono Mountains. VisitPA.com
