Vacationing in the Poconos Mountains goes way back into the early part of the 20th century. But in 1945, as soldiers returned from the war and got married, Farm on the Hill became the first “honeymoon resort” in the Poconos, and others soon followed. There were plenty of honeymoon accommodations to select from, like the “honeymoon mansionette” pictured above, complete with fireplace, plastic flowers, sky-blue decor, and a TV with a matching blue screen of death. There were plenty of recreational opportunities, like archery, swimming, golf, canoeing, and table tennis, as well as lounges and restaurants.

Some hotels went all in on the honeymoon idea as the 1960s progressed, with heart-shaped bathtubs during the era of “affluent vulgarity,” which extended the potential clientele to unmarried couples ready to pay for a getaway.
