Lakewood Lodge & Restaurant

Relaxed Mountain Stay Near Live Music Action

Cozy, rustic, and surrounded by nature, Lakewood Lodge & Restaurant sits in the peaceful hills of Preston Park, Pennsylvania. With charming lodge-style rooms and warm hospitality, this property offers a comfy base just a drive away from Northeastern Pennsylvania’s popular concert venues. Whether you're catching a show in Scranton or anywhere along the Poconos, this lodge delivers a nature-meets-comfort vibe with on-site amenities that go beyond the basics.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love Lakewood Lodge for its quiet, post-show retreat atmosphere. After the buzz of a high-energy gig, the mountain setting makes it easy to recharge. While not directly walkable to major venues, it's a scenic drive away—and the free WiFi and shared lounge spaces are perfect for planning your next show. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout are ideal for late-night arrivals and slow mornings.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping to multiple shows
• Solo travelers wanting peace after a big night
• Couples mixing music with mountain air
• Fans looking for a low-key recovery zone
• Budget-conscious travelers who value charm over chain hotels

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar mean you won’t have to go far for a bite or a nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar serves up hearty post-concert meals and drinks. Wake up slow and grab breakfast on the terrace while soaking in mountain views. Plus, kitchenette units are available in select rooms for those who want to DIY their snacks.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party spot—but that’s the point. Unwind with a drink at the lodge bar or gather with friends by the outdoor terrace. If you're looking for more nightlife, you're a scenic drive from Scranton’s live music bars, lounges, and late-night spots.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful location, friendly staff, and rustic charm. Many reviews highlight the clean, comfortable rooms and the convenience of having both a bar and restaurant on-site. The lodge’s homey feel and natural surroundings get big points, especially after a noisy night out.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for luxury lovers or those wanting a quick walk to a venue. Cell service can be spotty in the area (it is the mountains, after all), and some rooms are more updated than others. But if you’re here to chill and recharge, those quirks might just add to the charm.

The Bottom Line

Lakewood Lodge & Restaurant is a laid-back, budget-friendly retreat perfect for concert-goers wanting mountain calm after music-fueled nights.
