What is your Service Animal, Support Animal, and Pet Policy?
Service Animals: Woodloch adheres to Title II and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all service animals as defined by the ADA are welcome at The Pines at Woodloch and The Springs at Woodloch. Service animals must accompany their handler at all times and must remain under the control of their handler at all times.
Support Animals: Guests wishing to bring a support animal, comfort animal, or therapy dog to the resort must provide an ESA letter written by a Licensed Mental Health Professional containing the Health Professional’s license type, date of license, license number, and issuing state. A statement from the animal’s vet confirming the animal’s current health, vaccinations, and demeanor must also be provided. These references must be provided prior to two weeks of arrival and can be sent to room.reservations@woodloch.com with the full guest’s name and confirmation number provided. There is an applicable $300.00 non-refundable fee.
Pets: Pets are not allowed on The Pines at Woodloch property. We do have some pet-friendly vacation rentals at our nearby property, The Springs at Woodloch. There is an applicable $300.00 non-refundable, deep pet-cleaning fee for up to 2 animals. Pets must be crated, caged, or in the garage area when you are away from the rental home. Pet-friendly homes can only be reserved over the phone at this time; please see below.
Reserving Pet-Friendly Accommodations:
Our Poconos pet-friendly vacation rentals must be reserved in advance of your stay and are subject to availability at the time of booking by calling 570-685-8000 option #1. If you fail to make proper arrangements in advance, Woodloch reserves the right to deny overnight accommodations with forfeiture of the deposit. If we are able to change your accommodation type and the home has a different price, you will be charged the difference. If a pet is discovered in your accommodation that was not disclosed to us, you will be charged our standard pet fee of $300 plus an inconvenience fee of $1000. We ask that all guests be mindful of our policy, as having an animal in a non-approved home could severely impact another guest’s stay. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Please note that in the instance of any animal that is disruptive, threatening, aggressive, or out of control, Woodloch may request that the animal be removed from the premises. In the event an animal causes damage, fees may be charged to either the owner, handler, or the person responsible for the reservation.
What is your smoking policy?
Smoking is not allowed in our Poconos hotel rooms or vacation homes. Additional housekeeping (scrubbing walls and furnishings, and shampooing carpets and drapes) due to the presence of cigarette smoke will result in an additional charge of $300.00 to your bill. We have designated outside smoking areas on the property.
Do you have a dress code?
Dress is generally casual in our main dining room. During all meals, shoes and shirts are required, and bathing suits are not permitted.
