The Vacation Inn - Lodging at Endless Mountains, PA
Now that winter is over and everyone is really looking forward to doing other things like getting ready for TROUT SEASON and SPRING GOBBLER toward the end of April here. The lakes are usually frozen till the last weekend of April (except the holes made where the Fish Commission stocked) which is good because that's when one can go spring gobbler hunting in the morning and fishing in the afternoon.
WE STILL HAVE ROOMS AVAILABLE THIS WEEKEND! AND WE USUALLY HAVE ROOMS AVAILABLE DURING THE WEEK. SEE OUR SPECIALS PAGE FOR DETAILS ON 2 DAYS FOR 1 OR 3 DAYS FOR 2 SPECIALS.
IF HAVING TROUBLE SENDING ME AN E MAIL THRU THE WEBSITE THEN USE MY REGULAR E MAIL: vacation@nep.net It is all supposed to end up there anyway.
RESERVATIONS can only be made by calling 570.679.2100 and having your Visa, Master Card, or Discover Card available.
DIRECTIONS--Take EXIT 206 off I-81 then Rt 374 EAST to Rt. 171 NORTH. We are on Rt 171 on the left hand side (about 15 miles from I-81). Some of the signs got knocked down in the recent storms. Turn left when you get to PA 106 to STAY on Pa 374 EAST. .
An ALTERNATIVE route from the SOUTH which is a little faster and less milage is to get off from I-81 around mile 185-6 by getting on RT 6 EAST to CARBONDALE, then getting OFF Rt 6 at EXIT 6, follow signs on Bus 6 to Rt 171 and STAY on Rt 171 NORTH for 15 miles and the VACATION INN is on the left. This is for those going to the Motel first and actually saves on mileage (15 miles) and time (20 minutes)..
An ALTERNATIVE route from the NORTH is to get off I-81 at EXIT 230 AND TAKE 171 SOUTH for 25 miles to the VACATION INN which is on the right. This is less hilly than coming from Exit 206.
From New England/I-88 Get off at EXIT 6 (mile 16) and TAKE NY 79 SOUTH to PA which becomes PA 92 South to Susquehanna Depot and TAKE RT 171 SOUTH to VACATION INN.
If taking I-84 from New England, New York or northern N.J. then you have the option of taking the alternative Route 6 East to Carbondale or go NORTH up I-81 as I-84 ends right where all three roads meet. .

Located at the top of the Endless Mountains and the northern edge of the Poconos, the Vacation Inn is in an area that can still be called "God's Country" - where deer graze on your front lawn and many types of wildlife are commonly seen in the woods. Area hunting and fishing is great, and around Columbus Day, the fall foliage is spectacular to see.
December brings a winter wonderland, with two downhill and two cross-country ski areas nearby. The Vacation Inn is situated on the main connecting trail between two abandoned railroad beds that provide over 200+ miles of snowmobile and cross- country trails.
In the summer, these same trails can be used for hiking, horseback riding, or just a peaceful walk through the woods. There is a wide range of antique and collectible shops in the area, and over a dozen golf courses and a half dozen driving ranges - most of which require no reservations.
Hunters have over 30,000 acres of State Game Lands at their disposal. Whitetail deer and black bear are plentiful. Squirrels, rabbits, and turkey provide action for small game hunting. Over 30 area lakes and streams are stocked with trout, bass, pickerel, panfish, and more. By early January, safe ice is often ready for some of the best ice fishing in the state.
