Business Details
For over 40 years, Murphys Loft has been a cornerstone of the Pocono Mountains, rooted in a legacy that dates back to 1934. Originally built as a rustic log cabin boarding house for hunters, our establishment evolved into a beloved restaurant and motel under the ownership of Ed Murphy and Bill Lauff in 1979. Today, we remain family-owned and operated by the Lauff family, preserving the traditions of hearty Pennsylvania Dutch-style meals and warm hospitality. Our expanded kitchen, year-round indoor dining deck, outdoor patio, bar, and pool make us a premier destination for locals and visitors alike.
Whether youre here for a casual drink, a family swim, or a vacation stop, we offer good food, great company, and timeless memories. The Fern Ridge Motel, renovated in 2005, complements our restaurant, providing comfortable accommodations with a touch of history. We take pride in our deep community ties and commitment to dependability. From our humble beginnings as a hunters lodge to our modern-day offerings, we continue to embody the spirit of the Poconos. Join us for an experience that blends tradition with modern comfort. At Murphys Loft, every visit feels like coming home.
