About The Lodge at Woodloch

The Lodge at Woodloch is an all-inclusive luxury wellness spa located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, accommodating adults who want a luxurious, relaxing vacation. The goal of the lodge is to allow guests to refocus on themselves as opposed to the stresses of everyday life. It offers guests a chance to explore new hobbies while offering fitness classes, outdoor activities, creative workshops, cooking demonstrations, and wine tastings.

The Lodge is open year-round, and focuses more on overall wellness of the mind and body as opposed to weight loss and physical fitness. It has an on-site gourmet restaurant called Tree, as well as a luxury spa offering a wide variety of services.

All packages include three meals per day, workshops, creative arts, fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, group excursions, pools, steam rooms, whirlpools, and fitness center access. Each guest has access to a personal spa concierge to help design their programs.

Accommodations & Food

Each of the 58 rooms and suites at The Lodge at Woodloch offer verandas with either a lake view or rock-garden waterfall view. Amenities include TVs, Wi-Fi, refrigerators, terry-cloth robes and slippers, complimentary morning paper, and self-service laundry.

Property amenities include a 3,000-square-foot fitness center, saunas, steam rooms, pools with hydro massage waterfalls, and whirlpools both inside and outside.

The Lodge at Woodloch offers luxury dining options at its restaurant, Tree. While the restaurant menu includes some healthier options, there are no calorie limitations on the meals. Additionally, there are occasional wine and chocolate tastings for an additional fee. While this adds to the luxury vacation aspect of The Lodge, it does not help promote weight loss in any way.

The Program

Although there is a state-of-the-art fitness center on-site, The Lodge at Woodloch focuses more on wellness than fitness. Instead of offering structured schedules, the resort offers guests advice on making the most of their stay, depending on their unique needs. Specifically, there are four wellness programs that The Lodge at Woodloch offers and are included in the rates.

  1. The Rest + Well Blueprint includes tips and resources to help guests relax according to their own terms. This includes making use of the blackout drapes, memory foam beds, temperature controlled rooms, and five pillow choices to help guests get their best sleep. The Rest + Well Blueprint also recommends workshops and activities that promote relaxation, as well as spa services that can be purchased for an additional fee.
  2. Lotus Labyrinth has a surface area of over 1,589 square feet offering a serene location for meditation surrounded by the forest. It is the location for seasonal workshops that promote mindfulness.
  3. Forest Bathing is the idea of spending time in the woods in an effort to decrease stress and improve health. The Lodge at Woodloch promotes this idea by offering a weekly Forest Bathing exploration class, weather permitting.
  4. The Mind Matters – Brain Health Program intends to use exercise and creativity to support brain function. There is a wide variety of options in the weekly activity schedule that promote the program.
