My Woodloch Story
Wondering what to expect during your trip to Woodloch?
My Woodloch Story is a collection of Instagram pics, Facebook posts, blogs, and videos involving some of our biggest fans. From genuine and funny to heartwarming and life changing, over the past 60 plus years we’ve attracted a loyal fan base, old and new, who have humbled us while strengthening our resolve to do what we do best, bring people together. Check it out!
US Japan Fam | Sanity Restored
“WhenΒ Woodloch Resort (voted the #1 Family Resort in the United States) invited us on a weekend getaway I was a little nervous to be honest. We’d been there twice before and it is one of my all time favorite family vacation spots. But during a pandemic!? Turns out I had no need to worry, and it was just what the doctor ordered! Sanity restored. Beautiful memories made. It was Heaven on Earth.”
Ariel Loves | Peace of Mind
“Woodloch took many special measures and put new operating procedures in place in order to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff, which gave me so much peace of mind. Voted the #1 family resort in the United States by USA Today, Woodloch is built on the concept of bringing loved ones together, spending time with one another, + creating memories to last a lifetime.”
Coast 2 Coast with Kids | Opportunity to Explore
“Woodloch really is a special place. Itβs 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. Weβre so grateful we had the opportunity toΒ explore Woodloch and we canβt wait to return.”
The Curated Farmhouse | Dirty Dancing
“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 canβt wait to go back. I have a feeling that Woodloch will be a family vacation tradition for years to come.”
Roberta Pipito | Leaving is the Hardest Part
“The hardest part every time is leavingΒ Woodloch this place just brings out the best in families. From the fun activities, shows and food you couldnβt ask for a better place to spend time with the family. I have been to many resorts and no one has come close to being the kindest and most welcoming staff. Until next time.”
Finnegan & the Hughes | Our Happy Place
“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,Β Woodloch ResortΒ has become our go-to spot. Destined to always have a good time, my kids beg to get toΒ Woodloch ResortΒ when we are free.”
Little Kid Big City | Summer of Memories
“While Coronavirus has affected our lives on many different levels, one thing it has done has made everyone realize just how important it is to appreciate time with your loved ones. Our goal has become simple this year β to slow down, soak in the summer sun and create lasting family memories like never before.”
Here Wee Read
“Deciding to take a summer vacation in the middle of a pandemic was not an easy decision to make. With two small kids, safety and cleanliness were our two biggest concerns. Thankfully, Woodloch helped ease our minds with theirΒ Resort ResponsiblyΒ initiative.Β I cannot recommendΒ Woodloch more!Β Visit at least once to experience all the resort has to offer for a fun family adventure. Yes, even during a global pandemic. You wonβt regret it!”
21st Century Mama
“Came toΒ Woodloch to mentally and physically recharge after months of being stuck at home. Even though many restaurants and stores have reopened where we live, life we needed a change of scenery and wanted to go somewhere where we could be outside, safely social distance and escape the daily routine, which feels like Groundhog Day. This was just what we needed.”
Being Summer Shores
“As we are all adjusting to a new normal, Woodloch is ensuring the safety of their guests as their number one priority. Woodloch has brought back their Woodloch Experience while encouraging their staff and guests to Resort Responsibly, which includes their promise to keep the safety of their guests, staff, and community clearly in focus at all times while maintaining a fun and value-packed vacation experience.”
Glitz Glamom
“We knew we wanted to start traveling again, & we knewΒ Woodloch would be the 1st place we would feel comfortable going. They have done an amazing job to welcome back guests to the resort with all the proper precautions in place. Upon arrival your temperature is checked, masks are required indoors & masks were also worn outdoors when social distancing could not be practiced. They have a new app to give you the daily dining room menu, also the app allows you to register in advanced for the activities you want to limit crowds (we were the ONLY family doing any activity we signed up for at that allotted time).”
Scranton Mom
“βI wish we could stay here foreverβ. This couldnβt be more true right now. With everything going on in the world these past few months I sometimes wish I could just escape it all! This trip has been the perfect getaway that we needed. I know many people are weary to travel with the potential of unexpectedly being placed in an environment with crowds of people. But here at Woodloch, everything is so spread out with limits on capacity for all of their indoor and outdoor spaces.”
OH yeah! Rally up the family and join us tomorrow at noon for our #WoodlochAtHome edition of "Name That Tune!"

πβοΈ Not a bad view! Staying at woodloch in Pennsylvania. First trip away in months and it feels weird given the circumstances, but so good to get away. π Would normally be flying back to England to see family or flying elsewhere, but opted for a social distancing vacation much closer to home. Looking forward to mentally and physically recharging. #changeofscenery #thegreatoutdoors #socialdistancingvacay #coronacation #weekendaway #familytravel #familyresort #poconosweekend #lakesideview #familyvacation #familyadventures #familytimeβ€οΈ #wearamaskπ· #blueskies #summertimefun #mywoodlochstory

First weekend of October means doing all the fall things! π Weβre spending the weekend at Woodloch - the #1 Family Resort - and we are so excited to share our stay with you (peep my stories)!

If youβre craving a fun-filled family vacation with a focus on togetherness and bonding, we highly recommend woodloch in the Poconos! We loved having so many opportunities to tune in to each other, from family meals in the dining room to scavenger hunts. Get the full scoop in our new blog post about our Spring getaway at the resort that was voted #1 family resort in the U.S. Link in bio! #woodloch #poconoproud #poconos #MyWoodlochStory #worldtraveladventurers
Self-care Sunday - whatβs your favorite way to relax? ππΌ
Johnny Castle and Frances βBabyβ Houseman at Kellermanβs - I mean, Adam and Gina Agderian at Woodloch. π πΈ Anyone who has seen Dirty Dancing can confirm that Woodloch reminds them of Kellermanβs, the resort in the Catskills where Johnny and Baby fall in love. Adam and I have visited Woodloch well over 30 times (we have lost count at this point) and always leave well-rested and recharged. Itβs tough to explain to someone who has never visited Woodloch what exactly makes it so special - itβs a combination of the amazing staff, activities, food, and general vibe of the resort - but once you visit, youβll understand. πΈ Our most recent trip at the end of April was somewhat of a last-minute trip. Adamβs busy season for his business conrads_concessions starts in May, so we wanted to get away before then. We promised ourselves that this would be a βrelaxingβ trip and that we wouldnβt rush around, but that clearly did not happen. π€£ From Family Olympics to the archery contest, to go karts and the 2000s trivia contest, we were kept quite busy and had to take a nap before dinner like a couple of old people. It was the most fun Iβd had in a long time (probably since our trip last summer) and we created tons of memories that will last forever. πΈ βTogether is a great place to be.β - Woodloch

Can not wait to get back to our happy place, woodloch πΆ!!! But until then, one can dream βοΈ! Hereβs the latest update on our favorite spot: During their closure, they have been moving full speed ahead with their "Woodloch at Home" programming and trying to do as much as they can for their staff and the local community. Theyβve also added brand new merchandise on their woodlochshoppes store, and everything is 15% off. Their hope is to be able to reopen June 1, but because the situation is rapidly evolving, they will continue to post updates on their website regularly. π€π» . . . #healthylife #healthyliving #woodlochresort #woodlochathome #veganblogger #woodloch #whatveganseat #plantbased #plantpower #plantbaseddiet #photooftheday #plantbasedlife #plantbasednutrition #healthnut #healingnaturally #veganfoodporn #healthyfood #healthiswealth #plantbasedmom #veglife #veganglutenfree #eatwell #plantbasedvegan #instamood #veganfoodie #veganfoodlover #wellnesswarrior #wellnessjourney #wellnesslifestyle #healthiswealth
Itβs a beautiful day...We figured its best to go somewhere where weβd be outside all the time at the moment. Weβve found our way around the resort now and weβve been outside all day long. At the lake, by the pool and doing various activities like archery, paddle boats and go karting. Good to see the staff are fairly strict about wearing masks unless youβre in the water or not near other people. #familytravel #familyvacation #socialdistancingescape #lakesidevibes #familyresorts #familyadventures #familyfun #andrelax #weekendescape #mywoodlochstory #paradisewithoutsteppingonaplane
