Hotel Highlight: The Lodge at Woodloch
Nestled in the serene Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, The Lodge at Woodloch is a sanctuary of approachable luxury and holistic wellness. I recently spent two nights here, and it was a transformative experience that left me feeling restored, inspired, and eager to share it with my clients.
Approachable Wellness for Every Traveler
What sets The Lodge at Woodloch apart is the balance it strikes. Wellness here is never rigid or intimidating—it’s an invitation to explore what nourishes you. Guests can shape their stay to be as active or as restful as they’d like. Whether you lean toward days filled with guided hikes and fitness classes, or prefer to curl up with a book on the terrace and take in the mountain air, the lodge offers the perfect canvas.
Farm-to-Table Dining & Daily Delights
Dining at The Lodge at Woodloch is an experience in itself. With a rotating daily menu that spans breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every meal feels fresh and thoughtful. Much of the produce is sourced from their very own farm, making each dish vibrant and full of flavor.
Don’t miss the “therapeutic lattes”—a playful menu of creative wellness-inspired drinks that change daily. It’s these small touches that make dining here both nourishing and exciting.
The highlight for me was the organic garden dinner. Imagine dining under the stars, surrounded by the very vegetables and herbs on your plate. Meeting Sam, the head gardener, and learning about their sustainable gardening practices was eye-opening, and Chef Kate’s menu was both imaginative and heartfelt. It was a magical evening that made me feel more connected to both the land and the people around me.
A Spa Sanctuary Like No Other
The spa at The Lodge at Woodloch is world-class. During my stay, I indulged in a relaxing massage and a restorative facial, both of which left me glowing. The hydrotherapy circuit was another highlight, moving from heated pools into a snow room for an invigorating contrast. This isn’t just pampering—it’s a holistic approach to wellness that awakens both body and mind.
Active Adventures & Creative Outlets
One of the most delightful aspects of the lodge is the sheer variety of experiences offered each day. During my stay I:
Tried tenkara fishing, a meditative form of Japanese fly fishing
Kayaked on the lake, enjoying the calm waters and crisp autumn air
Roasted a s’more by the fire under the stars
Took a watercolor class and tapped into my creative side
Tried my hand at axe throwing, which was both fun and surprisingly therapeutic
Spent quiet time outdoors with a good book, surrounded by nature
The beauty is that no two stays need to look alike—you can fill your days with new adventures or slow them down as much as you’d like.
A Team That Truly Cares
Every staff member I encountered radiated warmth, joy, and genuine care. Their passion is palpable, and it’s clear that this comes from strong, supportive leadership. From the spa attendants to the dining team, everyone contributes to making the lodge feel like a true sanctuary.
Who It’s Perfect For
The Lodge at Woodloch is ideal for:
Couples seeking a restorative escape
Mother–daughter trips or girlfriend getaways filled with relaxation and adventure
Celebrations—birthdays, anniversaries, or simply celebrating life
Solo travelers who want to recharge in a safe, supportive environment
Travelers looking for luxury that feels authentic and approachable rather than rigid or intimidating
👉 Please note: The Lodge at Woodloch is an adults-only property (ages 16+), which makes it especially peaceful and well-suited for guests seeking a tranquil wellness retreat. Plus the rates are fully inclusive of meals and most activities.
My Takeaway
I arrived expecting a relaxing wellness retreat and left realizing just how broad the appeal really is. The Lodge at Woodloch is as perfect for the wellness enthusiast as it is for someone who simply wants a beautiful, restorative escape. It’s a property I feel confident recommending to my clients, knowing they’ll return as refreshed and inspired as I did.
