A subtle sophistication permeates The Lodge at Woodloch. With a decor highlighted by earth tones, along with massive windows that bring nature inside, the opulent Lodge is the idyllic setting for a respite of relaxation and personal awakening.

Nestled in the pristine lake region of the Pocono Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania, only 90 minutes from New York City, the Lodge at Woodloch is widely recognized as one of the most luxurious destination spas in the country. The Lodge leaves no stone unturned when it comes to indulgence.
