Mount Airy history

A visit to the Poconos of yesteryear was more than just a vacation—it was an escape to natural beauty, elegance, magic, and luxury. Guests dined in style, savoring superlative cuisine enhanced by unparalleled ambiance. Visitors experienced pampering unsurpassed in any other region, encouraging a loyalty that persisted through a number of generations.

The definitive Pocono resort was Mount Airy Lodge, known for its dozens of heart-shaped bathtubs, Club Suzanne, and its dazzling entertainment as well as superb accommodations and extraordinary dining. Thanks to the persistent television ads, and the “memorable” jingle, many people know beautiful Mount Airy Lodge as if “beautiful” were part of its name.

During the ’60s and ’70s, a huge following of guests from the tri-state area flocked to Mount Airy Lodge, where guests could enjoy epicurean delights, horseback riding, skiing, snowmobiling, and golfing. The Lodge was at its peak during these decades, when featured entertainment was delivered by such notables as Bob Hope, Tony Bennett, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, and many more who started their careers at Mount Airy Lodge.

The glamour, sophistication, and excitement of the Mount Airy Lodge is brought forth in the brand-new state-of-the-art Mount Airy Casino Resort, which overlooks the same exquisite man-made lake that, once again, will draw visitors from the tri-state area and beyond.
