The Mansion at Noble Lane, The Supremely Qualified Self-Care Resort Experience

Last weekend, my daughter, Channing, and I celebrated her birthday in the Pocono Mountains at the premier Akwaaba Inn. I first learned of Akwaaba when I won a trip to their Brooklyn location in November 2019 from the AARP Sisters essay contest. We chose The Mansion at Noble Lane for the supremely qualified resort experience.

It's Black and White at the Mansion at Noble Lane
Before I elaborate on the birthday celebration, I must provide details about the mansion, the former F.W. Woolworth country estate located on 22 acres in the lake region of Northeast Pennsylvania. Some of you remember Woolworth’s, the five-and-dime store before Family Dollar and Dollar Tree Stores took over as the place to pick up inexpensive goodies.

Is anyone watching The Gilded Age on HBO Max? The series is a quick reminder of opulence during an economic boom in the early 19th century. You can see the craftsmanship and spare no expense from the original construction 1903.

The once-exclusive 70-room estate is now a restored upscale boutique bed and breakfast featuring 14 guest rooms, a spa wing, and a tea room.

Upon our arrival for the weekend, the innkeeper, Aesha, greeted us and showed us our room on the third floor. I ordered pink and purple flowers for my daughter Channing’s room.

After settling into our room, we mosied downstairs to enjoy late afternoon refreshments. The turkey or veggie chili soup with cornbread is perfect for a frigid wintry day.

Dining area for most meals at The Mansion at Noble Lane

We planned to enjoy the many amenities offered at the Mansion at Noble Lane. First up, our complimentary breakfast is promptly at 9:00 am. The Bed & Breakfast owner, Monique, led her guests through a trivia game to find out who knew the most songs with the word love.
Afternoon Tea at The Mansion at Noble Lane

We enjoyed a light bisque soup and a spring salad in Leaves, the Tea Room. And let’s not forget the must-have menu items for afternoon tea, finger sandwiches with scones and pastries.
