6 Romantic Poconos Trip Activities You'll Actually Want To Do

The Poconos are an ideal destination for couples seeking romance, relaxation, and connection. From waterfall walks and cozy cabin evenings to scenic drives and intimate dining, these six romantic experiences highlight simple, meaningful ways couples can reconnect while staying at Babbling Brook Cottages.

You’ve been dreaming of a quiet escape where it’s just the two of you, surrounded by nature, romance, and zero stress. But when it comes time to plan, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. What should we do? Will it be romantic enough? Will we even have time to relax?

At Babbling Brook Cottages, we believe your romantic getaway should be effortless and memorable. That’s why we’ve created this simple checklist of 6 romantic things you can do right here in and around Dingmans Ferry—no guesswork required.

 1. Watch the Sunset by A Waterfall

Sometimes the most romantic moments happen when you simply sit still together. Just a 5 minute hike or 1 minute drive from your cottage, you’ll find George W. Childs Park. Pack a blanket, sit by Factory Falls, and let nature do the rest. 

2. Unplug with a Couples Digital Detox

Connection feels easier when there's nothing pulling your attention away from each other. No screens. No schedules. Just the two of you. Bring a favorite card or board game or a journal to write love notes to each other—something simple that reminds you how good it feels to reconnect.

3. Share a Little Magic

under the Stars

Evenings feel different when the world grows quiet and the only thing on the agenda is being together. Each cottage has its own private fire pit and is provided with free firewood. Light a fire, grab a relaxing beverage, roast marshmallows,  and soak in the sounds of the night. It’s cozy, quiet, and totally magical.

 4. Savor Morning Coffee Under the Covers

Morning doesn't need a plan when the best part is waking up with nowhere else to be. Wake up and make a pot of coffee, open the windows, listen to the birds and wrap yourselves in blankets. It’s the simplest moment—and often the one couples say they’ll never forget.

5. Take a Scenic Drive Through the

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area 

Sometimes the conversations that

matter most happen when you're just enjoying the ride. Roll the windows

down and take in the breathtaking

views. The winding roads, vibrant

forests, and open fields set the perfect

backdrop for meaningful connection.

Stop into the Dimmick Inn located in

Milford for a late lunch and continue

the conversation. 

6. Hike Cliff Trail and Take in the Scenic Views

Shared experiences tend to linger longer when they're earned together, one step at a time. Grab your backpack & water, and head to nearby Cliff Trail.  Perch yourself atop the lookout, enjoy the fresh air and OH the view!   Hint, hint, hint...this would make a perfect spot for an engagement.
