AUTHOR’S WEEKEND

A 16 hour drive… WELL WORTH IT!⠀
@Woodloch you have given us such a gift this spring!
After two years of no travel with the state of the world/country – I know I’m not alone in saying that our family had gotten into a major habit of being homebodies.
Woodloch Pines reminded us of everything we have been missing and already has us yearning for our next visit and next trip!

This all-inclusive, family-friendly resort is perfect for all ages and all generations. In fact, we met families who had 4 generations with them during their stay! 🤯 It was awesome. There is truly, something for everyone.

VACATION UNDER WAY

Melissa Weintraub Pezza

When you need an escape from reality and a place to make great family memories, there is an absolutely wonderful place in #hawleypa called @woodloch that is voted #1 family friendly resort! We absolutely love #woodloch and it allows me to create #mywoodlochstory by focusing on my family and having family fun. Each day at #woodlochresort you chose from over 40 activities to do and you can also chose to be a 3 meal plan #dining plan so you don’t have to worry about being hungry. Some of our favorite adventures this weekend included #halloween Olympics, #hauntedhayride, #wheeloffortune, broadway style show, #gocarts, #watersports and more. Thanks so much to #woodloch for hosting my family and allowing us to continue to create good times, when they are needed the most. If you are looking for a great #familyfriendly #vacation, definitely give Woodloch a visit.

Tell me about your greatest family vacation memory! Mine is out today on the blog – sharing all about our family getaway to @woodloch!
I got a lot of questions about our vacation and wanted to make sure the answers were accessible to everyone whenever they needed it so I wrote a blog post answering all of them! I went into detail all about the outdoor activities, indoor activities and everything in between, including my visit to the spa!

WINTER TOGETHER

Ariel Loves

First weekend of April means doing all the spring things! We’re spending the weekend at @Woodloch – the #1 Family Resort – and we are so excited to share our stay with you (peep my stories)!
Between the indoor water park, activities like go carts + bumper boats, and eating whatever sweets + treats their hearts desire, the girls have been in heaven! This is our third time at #Woodloch and after spending the last few weekends apart, we’re so grateful to get away for a few days as a family in this special place. Shabbat Shalom, friends!

MAGICAL WEEKEND
THANK GOD IT’S SHABBAT!

Scranton Mom

I always make it a priority to get a family picture down by the water at @woodloch each time we visit (swipe to see our past family pics) 🥰 And I’m so thankful to have these pictures because looking back on them brings back the fondest memories of our amazing stays at Woodloch! There is just something so special about this place and the way it fosters the most perfect family times! It’s no wonder that Woodloch was recently selected by USA TODAY as the number one family resort in the United States in their 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Below are some of our biggest fans and a little bit of what they have to say about Woodloch.

“The magic of Woodloch is that the experience changes with you. As a child, there was nothing better than getting that special light-up drink with dinner, and as a teenager I can’t even describe the elation of finally being old enough to attend the ‘grown-up’ show! Now as a mother with my own two children, I cherish watching their excitement when cheering for their favorite horse.”

“Seriously, this place is pure MAGIC ✨! You want to: swim, slide, climb, play (literally ANYTHING), eat delicious food regardless of your diet, golf, drive bumper cars, ride ponies, pet goats or bunnies, peddle boat, see your friends you haven’t seen in two years, flow on the water, or ANYTHING else amazing? #Woodloch has you COVERED!!”

Families Love Travel

“Woodloch really is a special place. It’s owned and run by the same family for over 60 years. A family who greets guests at every meal and welcomes them to every activities, who enthusiastically cheers for guests at competitions and invites them to try something new. The grounds are beautiful, the food is homemade and delicious, and there is no way you could run out of things to do. We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to explore Woodloch and we can’t wait to return.”

“Woke up @woodloch 🤩 Why can’t I always just wave my hand and end up in our favorite spot? 🤔🤪⠀

Soaking it all up and spending some quality time with our boy this week.”

“During the weekend, we explored the indoor & outdoor pools (& of course the slide & splash areas). We did a boat ride, bumper boats, playgrounds, go karts, rock climbing, some of the adults did rifle shooting, the arcade, the carnival, lunch cookout, petting zoo/pony rides, & of course the art room (my girls could sit in the art room for hours).”

“When we drove up to Woodloch, fall had just begun to touch the Poconos, and the leaves had just started to turn, I was in love instantly.”

“If you have ever watched Dirty Dancing, Woodloch reminds me of the movie. Helpful staff, fun games and activities, and so much more. It would truly be an understatement if I said I can’t wait to go back. I have a feeling that Woodloch will be a family vacation tradition for years to come.”

The Curated Farmhouse

Lifestyle Blogger | Insta

“With two very active kids playing multiple sports each per season and my husband and I both working full time jobs we are constantly on the go and have little time to getaway. When we do get away, Woodloch Resort has become our go-to spot. Destined to always have a good time, my kids beg to get to Woodloch Resort when we are free.”

Finnegan & the Hughes

“This trip was truly everything our family needed – and more. A screen-free chance to reconnect, be together, and get back to the basics! The amount of core memories that were created on this trip is unmatched – and are ones we will cherish forever.”

“Had so much fun, made so many memories and ate my weight in crumb cake. I’d say the authors weekend at Woodloch was a huge success!”

“Already planning another little trip, but it’ll be tough to top this weekend in @woodloch. This is all the fun the kids had just on the last day, where to next?”

Food Baby NYC

Blogger | Instagram

“We discovered a special place for families, where it feels like you’ve returned to the good ol’ days. If you’ve seen the movie Dirty Dancing, Woodloch feels like the resort from that movie with old-fashioned family values and fun. There are more family-friendly activities than any resort we’ve stayed at that are included with your stay, such as bumper cars, go karts, junior go karts, ice skating, snow tubing, rock climbing, cupcake decorating, archery, an indoor water park, and so much more!”

Woodloch is proud to announce that our 13th annual “Operation Cookie Drop” has been a total success. In total, over 3,000(!) boxes of Girl Scout cookies have collected so far and distributed to our brave armed forces serving abroad. 

This collaborative effort between our resort and visiting scout groups has grown by leaps and bounds every year. Troops from our local area as well as our guests’ hometowns bring delicious boxes of our favorite cookies every year. Each scout earns an exclusive Woodloch prize for their kind donation. Our other house guests are encouraged to purchase boxes and add them to the cause- your generosity has been truly inspiring! Let’s keep it up!
