Mauch Chunk Pennsylvania is a wonderment of the modern age with activities for the daredevil thrill seeker-vagabonds and genteel refined persons alike.

A short day's carriage ride from Philadelphia and New York City both and similarly close to Baltimore, Mauch Chunk boasts several world class Inns and lodging establishments to provide every weary traveler a much deserved respite.

Additionally several generous members of the town's most elite and prominent citizens offer, for a paltry sum, lodging in their stately mansions and townhouses.

Working class visitors can find more affordable, albeit less opulent lodgings, and nourishment in nearby Lehighton.
