Midwinter Recess At Woodloch!

Once the glow and glimmer of the holidays trickles past us, there’s no denying we can all find ourselves in a little bit of a slump. Going back to work and school, while necessary, becomes no easy task. The days and weeks seem to clump together in a mass of “blah.”

But alas, not all is lost. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that our professional and scholastic endeavors can continue virtually through the magic of the worldwide web. The earth has never been “flatter” so to speak- connection to our obligations is no further than a click and a Zoom call away. That allows us to go ahead and maybe even break a couple rules every once in a while. The bosses are none the wiser.

Lessen the blow of the winter doldrums with a little family escape to Woodloch this winter. Whether you’re going for that marquee holiday vacation or just sneaking off the grid for a few random cold days, we think you’ll find plenty of fun to be had here!

THE SNOW ZONE

One of the best things about our resort during the winter is an (over)abundance of SNOW. Mother Nature’s grand scheme is irrelevant when you’ve got an artillery of snow cannons at your beck and call. We create our first flakes once temperatures hit 20 degrees and continue fluffing up powder all season long. That means days of snowtubing for all interested and willing parties!

Classic Pocono Mountain skiing is not too far away either! Ski Big Bear at Masthope features 18 trails and 7 lifts and is the absolute PERFECT place to bring a young skier to learn! You can even score discount lift tickets through our front desk…

FOR THE KIDDOS

Winter amusements go far beyond frolicking through snow! Busy winter days for young Woodlochians include a feast of activities indoors and out! Go karting, archery, and a covered skating rink will give youngins the chance to bask in the mountain fresh air while they smile the days away.

Warming up from the chilly air is as simple as taking a dip in our heated indoor pool, kiddie splash area and our indoor waterslide complex. Cookies and cocoa are always fresh at our Gigi’s Coffee House! Running around our indoor “Forest” playground complex certainly burns off any excess energy little tykes might have left in the tank while a spin on the bumper cars brings back that classic amusement park memories of days past.

FOR THE GROWN UPS

There’s a lot we can learn from our children. Suffice it to say, adults can probably stand to cut loose a little more often though we sometimes lack the energy and conviction of our younger counterparts.

Luckily, a Woodloch escape provides the necessary tools to (sort of) fully embrace winter’s majesty. For the bold and adventurous, trapshooting, and even winter disc golf provide plenty of opportunities to explore the snowy Pocono landscape. Great trivia games, wine tasting, art classes and of course hot tubs are just about the perfect way to unwind after a busy day in the elements.

Speaking of relaxation, a beautiful destination spa is just two minutes down the road at The Lodge at Woodloch. Recognized by both Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast, this world class luxury retreat offers treatments, classes and lectures, and gourmet dining beyond compare. It’s the perfect way to truly immerse yourself in winter’s majesty.

FROSTY FUN FOR ALL

Of course, we weren’t voted “Best Family Resort in America” this year for nothing! Between big team activities like Scavenger Hunt and Olympics, medal-earning contests including tube races and “Bullseye” Soccer, and nightly entertainment featuring world-class magicians, jugglers and live music, opportunities for quality time together simply never cease.

With the ability to work remotely, there’s never been an easier opportunity to sneak away from the winter grind for a few days. A little bit of frosty fun just might be what the doctor ordered- we won’t tell if you don’t.

The Case for a Vacation Home Rental | Woodloch Resort

Woodloch’s Blog

Keep up-to-date with all things Woodloch on our blog featuring exclusive recipes, heartwarming stories, lifestyle content, contests and more.

The Case for A Vacation Home Rental

There’s something to be said about the comfort of waking up on vacation or a getaway in a beautiful home as opposed to a standard rectangular box of a hotel room. Of course, you need the right situation to stay in a home and the home needs to suit the needs of your adventure.

We’re going to break down some of the positives of staying in a vacation rental home, and more specifically the value of staying under the umbrella of a resort, versus a hotel room and booking a home from a private owner directly.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

No matter how hard a hotel tries to make those gray accent walls and square rooms cozy and homey, it will still have a synthetic, cookie-cutter vibe. Staying in a vacation rental, you’ll often feel like you’re staying comfortably in an old friend’s house where the personality of its owners shines through.

ACCOMMODATION DIVERSITY

Sure, a hotel room can have very nice decor, comfortable bedding, it’ll check all the amenity boxes you need, but a hotel room is a room, is a room, is a room. Private houses can offer so much more diversity. Diversity in style, design and of course decoration. You can go over the top and stay in the “home of your dreams” or you can try something a bit more unique, like a treehouse, or a boathouse.

AN EQUIPPED KITCHEN

Cook your own meals. This offers those with special dietary restrictions an ample opportunity to get away without the worry of relying on a commercial kitchen to get their issues managed properly. Little kids, picky eaters? Take care of them easily here before you take the group out to a restaurant.

IT’S ECONOMICAL

This is a great way to save money along the way. If relying on this kitchen to make your own meals, or just by splitting the cost between families or friends sharing the home, you can drive down the price pretty quickly.

GROUP TRAVEL & MULTIGENERATIONAL

There’s so much more opportunity to spend time together in a vacation rental. Instead of having to awkwardly sit on a couple of queen beds and a desk chair, private homes will often offer up a common room or more for gathering space and a chance to connect. These homes serve as a great way to keep the party going, or reconnect with the family, catch up with distant cousins, or get some extra teambuilding in for your business retreat.

STAYING AT A RESORT

You really can have the best of both worlds by staying in a vacation rental within the confines of a resort property. When you use a service like Airbnb or VRBO, there are a lot of unknowns to what you’re getting in to such as if you have to bring your own towels or sheets, what’s really stocked in the kitchen, and how much cleanup do I really have to do upon checking out? The resort option gives you the comfort of service, knowing someone responsive is on staff to help with your needs not to mention housekeeping on demand plus the added benefit of activity and action right at your fingertips.

As you can see there are a number of factors in the decision-making process of where to stay. If you looking for a place to get some extra face time with your family, friends or coworkers, if you need some flexibility and freedom in dining, if you want some extra space or something different, the vacation rental home might be the best money for value for you!

Poconos Getaway – The Best Times to Visit Woodloch Resort

Woodloch’s Blog

Top-Rated Poconos Getaway: The Best Times to Visit Woodloch

There’s never an offseason for good, old-fashioned family fun in the Pocono Mountains, especially here at Woodloch Resort, which is conveniently located only two hours from Manhattan. Regardless of the season, Woodloch provides every family with a one-of-a-kind Poconos getaway. Splash in Lake Teedyuskung under the warm Pennsylvania sunshine, hike through our pristine wilderness during autumn’s peak, and ski down the slopes at Masthope Mountain – the choice is yours! While it was challenging to choose just four of our favorite times to visit Woodloch, these specific occasions certainly stood out.

Autumn Midweeks

A Poconos getaway during autumn’s peak should be on everyone’s bucket list, which is why we urge families to avoid weekends during the leaf-peeping season’s pinnacle. Not only will you get to enjoy some of the most colorful foliage on the planet, but the roads will be practically empty. Autumn Midweeks are also one of the best deals on the East Coast as we offer outrageous savings for children six and under as well as teenagers. You’ll be able to combine fun Halloween-themed games and seemingly endless homegrown activities while appreciating the glorious combination of tiger orange, marigold, Tuscan yellow, and emerald in our lush forestry.

July & August

There’s no secret that July & August are the most popular months here at Woodloch Resort, as thousands of families from New York City flock to Hawley, PA, for a well-deserved, summertime, Poconos getaway. Many of our homegrown activities are centered around water during the summer months. Splash in one of our pristine pools, explore Lake Teedyuskung in a family-sized rowboat, and enroll in the Summer Olympics. One of the biggest perks of a midsummer Poconos getaway is that you can do just about anything!

Spooktacular Weekends

During select weekends in October, we transform our family resort into a Halloween-themed wonderland – we call them Spooktacular Weekends! Not only is the surrounding wilderness a colorful natural painting, but your family can hop aboard the world-famous Haunted Hayride, show off their costumes in the Halloween Parade, and even go trick or treating. Autumn is especially fantastic because you can still partake in home-grown outdoor activities but also enjoy the splendors of fall: leaf-peeping, s’mores, pumpkin-spiced lattes, and cozy sweater weather!

Ski & Stay

Earlier this winter, we detailed the incredible savings and value that comes with the Ski & Stay packages here at Woodloch Resort. There isn’t a better mid-week, wintertime, Poconos getaway available. With the Ski & Stay package, families can enjoy unlimited skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing at Ski Big Bear as well as two meals daily, countless on-site activities, and nightly live entertainment. Take a break from the slopes with ice skating, and the Winter Olympics. Woodloch is one of the best family resorts in North America because our team is dedicated to creating a warm, friendly, and exciting atmosphere which pairs perfectly with the Pocono Mountains’ beauty.

To plan a well-deserved Poconos getaway to Woodloch Resort, please give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562, or browse through our packages online. We cannot wait to see all of your smiling faces this year here at Woodloch!
