A Tradition of Excellence and Hospitality at Woodloch

Photo of Woodloch's original vacation property

It started over 60 years ago when a Long Island couple saw an ad in a newspaper for a small resort on the shores of a private Pennsylvania lake. Harry and Mary Kiesendahl jumped on this opportunity, and the whole family packed their bags for the Poconos. The original resort included 12 acres of land and could accommodate 40 guests. Woodloch has always been a family business with a commitment to hospitality. Since 1958 the goal has been the same; we treat our guests as company in our own home. Visit us at Woodloch, and discover why our tradition of excellence and hospitality makes us the number one family resort in America.

Continuing the Woodloch Tradition

Our Poconos family resort a place where traditions are made by continuing the Woodloch commitment of dedication, enthusiasm, and friendliness. Generations of families return to Woodloch every year to spend quality time reconnecting with their loved ones. Today we have over 1,000 acres and can accommodate over 1200 guests, a far cry from our humble beginnings. The all-inclusive experience at Woodloch makes it possible for families to come together. Our passion for hospitality is the reason for our success, and we owe it all to a newspaper ad from 1958.

The Woodloch Experience
