The Ultimate Family Resort: Award-Winning Woodloch

The Woodloch Resort family is not one to hoard awards or revel in its accomplishments. Every award, accolade, and five-star review is the product of decades of hard work, creativity, ingenuity, and a passion for family bonding. Last year, we received perhaps our most prestigious award yet: the title of “Best Family Resort in America,” according to USA Today. We can’t pinpoint just one thing that won them over; perhaps it was our delicious, family-style meals or our countless daily activities? Every time we earn such high praise, the team as a collective whole feels humbled and honored to be listed alongside other amazing properties. Day in and day out, our team of staff are committed to making Woodloch the best family resort in the country.

A True All-Inclusive Family Resort in Hawley, PA

Below, you’ll find eight awards that we’ve received over the past few years. We believe that this collection of accolades perfectly encapsulates what makes Woodloch Resort so uniquely alluring. As one of the only award-winning, all-inclusive resorts near New York City, it’s worth providing a little background into each honor.

The Best Family Resort in America, USA Today

As stated above, this award meant a lot to the entire Woodloch family. A few things stand out with this award: we’re the only resort in the article within 315 miles of New York City, and a panel of experts spent countless hours curating the list.

#1 Classic American Family Resort, ResortsandLodges.com

We like to think that we’re a “classic” American family resort, so this award is particularly heartwarming. Families have the rare opportunity to unplug from today’s digital world and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, such as water skiing, rock climbing, and archery.

Top 25 Hotels in the U.S., TripAdvisor

Anytime you’re nominated as a top hotel by TripAdvisor, it’s worth taking notice. The Lodge at Woodloch, our sister property, earned this accolade. This adults-only resort is centered around luxuriant spa treatments and fine culinary delights with a dash of creative outdoor exploration.

10 Best Snow Resorts, Parents.com

Yes! It’s important to note that Woodloch Resort is so much more than just a summertime escape. We’re open during all four seasons, all of which feature specifically-curated seasonal activities. Kids particularly love the on-site snow tubing, visits from Santa, and Winter Olympics.

The Best U.S. Resort, Happenings Magazine

Happenings Magazine might not garner global readership, but anytime you’re labeled the “best U.S. resort,” it means a lot. They go into depth on the many different ways that we keep our guests and staff “Happie.”

12 Best Resorts for Family Reunions, Family Vacation Critic

The folks at Family Vacation Critic have been very kind to us over the years. As they so eloquently point out, we accommodate various types of large groups throughout the year, including family reunions.

#4 Destination Spa in the World, Travel+Leisure

Yes, The Lodge at Woodloch is also a world-class spa. Family bonding is the focus at Woodloch Pines, and adults-only relaxation is central to The Lodge experience.

13 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the U.S., Family Vacation Critic

There aren’t many award-winning resorts that are truly all-inclusive. While a handful of specialty services and the à la carte dining does cost a little extra, activities, entertainment, meals, and overnight accommodations are included in the price!

Water skiing on our private lake!
Group games and contests that promote bonding.
Four seasons of entertainment and activities.

To learn more about our award-winning Poconos resorts, please give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562. Otherwise, feel free to read up about our many on-site offerings, including snowshoeing excursions, self-esteem-building activities, and summer beach fun.

Large Family Reunion Rentals | An Autumn Getaway | Woodloch Resort

An Autumn Get Together | Woodloch’s Large Family Reunion Rentals

As we approach yet another new decade, more and more groups are beginning to plan family reunions during the cooler seasons such as autumn and winter. It has become abundantly clear that summer is no longer the only season for a good, old-fashioned, family get together, especially if you’re aiming to gather in the breathtaking Pocono Mountains. Sifting through potential family reunion venues can be a dizzying, strenuous process. There are so many things to consider, including cost, location, activities, and entertainment. 

Luckily for you, Woodloch Resort’s well-priced large family reunion rentals are less than two hours from New York City. We were recently named the number one family resort in the country by USA Today, thanks in large part to our seemingly endless all-inclusive activities, events, and adventures. Woodloch also has world-class meeting facilities, spectacular catering services, and talented, detailed reunion planners.

Event Space and Group Coordination

Yes, Woodloch Springs is home to several large family reunion rentals near our championship golf course, but you won’t (and shouldn’t) be constricted to your overnight accommodation. We have an entire staff of dedicated specialists that help coordinate fully-customizable family reunions. While Woodloch Resort offers over 30 homegrown activities 365 days a year, we fully understand if your group prefers to stick together in a private setting. We have a wide variety of event spaces located throughout our 135-acre campus—these spaces are often utilized for structured team-building activities. Guests can either cook up a feast for the whole gang or let our talented culinary team treat them like royalty.

Homegrown, Group-Friendly Activities

Large Family Reunion Rentals

No two family reunions are the same. As we mentioned earlier, guests can choose between over 30 homegrown activities on any given day, including staff-led games, contests, and challenges. We’ve grouped together ten of our most popular group activities to provide you with a “taste” of what a long-overdue family reunion could look like here in the Poconos.

  1. Fall Olympics
  2. Scavenger hunt
  3. Bakery wars
  4. Woodloch Feud
  5. Broadway-style theme show
  6. Cooking class
  7. Forest bathing
  8. Indoor splash zone
  9. Cocktail reception
  10. Golf outing

Large Family Reunion Rentals

Large Family Reunion Rentals

In order to become one of the top-rated family reunion resorts in the U.S., you must provide your guests with a diverse array of overnight accommodations. Yes, our 135-acre campus has dozens of hotel-style guest rooms and suites, but don’t forget about Lake Estates, Southwoods, Tallwoods Vacation Rentals, and Woodloch Springs. All of these three-to-six bedroom family reunion vacation rentals can house a large portion of your group under one roof. These spacious modern rentals feature full kitchens, living rooms, awe-inspiring views, comfortable beds, and easy access to a plethora of homegrown activities.
