Our Favorite New Vacation Spot
By Jen, 07/09/09
Woodloch is by fat our favorite new vacation spot!!! We have spent the past 10 years vacationing to Disney, it simply wasn't feasible this year. I searched and searched for different places within driving distance, fits within our budget, and that would meet the needs of my 2 kids (5 and 12 years old), as well as my husband and I. Nothing seemed to fit our criteria and we were getting really frustrated. Then I ran into a parent at Drew's baseball game and she suggested Woodloch in the Poconos. At this point, I was praying for a miracle so when I went to the website I couldn’t believe all they had to offer. I decided to book it. Still a little apprehensive, I have to say that from the moment we arrived we felt like we found a new home. The staff are incredibly friendly and very enthusiastic, the food was delicious...I felt like we never stopped eating! I loved that different meal plans were available...the traditional plan suited our family best and offered a variety of options for all of us. I was nervous about Eva's nut allergy and wondered if they would be able to meet her dietary needs but they didn't even blink an eye...she had options at every mean!
The resort was emaculate...from the rooms to the dining room to the golf course to the spa. We always looked forward to the live nightly entertainment, which ranged from live bands to magic shows to a Broadway-style theme show.
Eva and Drew LOVED it! They never ran out of things to do and actually cried when we left!. My husband and I were thrilled to finally find a place that exceeded any needs that we had...
We only stayed for 4 days this year but are already planning future trips, including a girls weekend at the spa (which is magnificent) and a group trip with 2 other families (we heard the guest houses are great for big groups). We cannot say enough about Woodloch…we would recommend it to families with children of all ages!
