The Best Family Reunion Venue on the East Coast

​

A private 130-acre compound in the Pocono Mountains, PA - just 2 hours from NYC, NJ and Philadelphia. Sleeps up to 92 guests across 4 stunning properties.

​

If you're searching for the perfect place to hold a family reunion, you've found it. Hilltop Castle World is a fully private resort compound in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, less than two hours from New York City. Unlike a hotel or public resort, when you book Hilltop, you get the entire property - no other guests, no shared spaces, no curfews. Just your family, your schedule, and an extraordinary setting.

​

We host family reunions of all sizes, from intimate gatherings of 10 to massive multi-generation reunions of 90+ guests. You can rent just Hilltop Farmhouse for a smaller group, or combine all four properties - the Castle, Mansion, Farmhouse and Lodge - for up to 39 bedrooms and sleeping for over 92 people.

​

Celebrate in style at Hilltop:

 

There is no better place to celebrate a milestone birthday - a 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, or 80th - than at Hilltop. We give you the privacy of a private home with the amenities of a luxury resort. Hire our catering team so nobody has to cook. Bring in Ernie, our resident bartender, for full drink service. Have Joe the magician perform tableside magic during dinner. Book Thaddeus for a custom Jeopardy or Family Feud tournament. Watch a movie together in our 72-seat theater. Whatever your vision, we make it happen.

​

Why Hilltop Beats a Resort:

​

When families compare Hilltop to large resorts like Woodloch or Kalahari, the key difference is privacy and togetherness. At a traditional resort, your family is scattered across dozens of hotel rooms, sharing pools and restaurants with hundreds of strangers. At Hilltop, you have the entire compound to yourselves - the pools, the theater, the bowling alleys, the hiking trails, all exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.

​
