Woodloch Pines Resort: Fact Sheet

Overview: Woodloch Pines Resort has been family-owned and operated for over 59 years, offering all-inclusive vacations to generations of families. Located on pristine Lake Teedyuskung, Woodloch was once a small 12-acre resort purchased by Harry and Mary Kiesendahl in 1958. Today, the four-season family resort spans over 300 acres, and the Kiesendahl children and grandchildren still carry on the tradition of excellence and warm hospitality. The Woodloch mission is to “treat all guests as if they were company in their own homes.”

Also within the Woodloch family of properties is the 18-hole championship golf course and community, Woodloch Springs, as well as sister property, The Lodge at Woodloch, an award-winning luxury destination spa.
