The Lodge at Woodloch is by far the best weekend retreat/upscale spa destination we have ever had…read more Where to begin? There is so much to mention, I'll just make a list; 1 The Lodge, the rooms, the common area, the spa- The actual building/facility is so well kept, clean, inviting, good ambiance and vibes. You are greeted by staff when you arrive, who park your car ,escort you in, take your bags, etc. The lobby is so inviting, a gourmet snack or drink will be offered to you upon arrival. The guest rooms are big so peacefully decorated clean and modern. 2 The Grounds, beautifully maintained open space; a lake for boating, birding talks, bike riding, axe throwing, group hikes, wine tasting, garden demonstrations, outdoor exercise classes. there is an exstensive garden that grows produce for the chefs menu. 3 The Restaurant, wonderful selection of food and drinks, live music. Make a reservation ahead of time to get your table and time. 4 The Activities (included in the price), check out their website, classes are listed ahead of time, and you should sign up for them before your stay. Here's the ones we did; kombucha making, painting, fire making ,yoga, birding, axe throwing, wine tasting, cooking demo, Bosu Ball, Zumba, live music, sleep therapy, veg garden lecture, wood working. There is also every exercise class imaginable. Chef samples and different types of non alcoholic drinks are always available in the common areas. 5. The Spa (not included in price), upscale clean, talented massage therapists We went in 2020 and 2023 and are planning to go back next year. 6. Other things to note; Guests are probably 80% women, mother daughter, women's weekend, things like this, not many men except couples. I recommend booking your activities spa and restaurant reservations ahead of time so you get the spots you want. This can all be done online. The Lodge is not cheap, but it is so well worth it! Hope this helps you make your reservation!

The lovely Eleanor does such a great job at greeting everyone and taking them to their table. It really feels like you're part of the family going up to Lukan's every year. The staff is so welcoming and genuinely seem happy to be serving you. Their team is on it! Always coming out with more food, drinks and anything you need, all while serving multiple tables that are usually parties of 5 or more. All the waitstaff seems to get along too, trying to enjoy their time together. This year, our server Jillian was a treat! She was so on her game, helping my family and keeping our plates full. The Farm itself is so lovely, tons of outdoor games like Ping Pong and Basketball. If you venture deeper into the property you can have some fun with all the animals like sheep, goats, chickens and even a Peacock. I'll have to stop by for dinner beyond Easter the next time I'm in the area.

Delicious meat entrees, fresh grown farm vegetables, garden salads, fresh fruit appetizers, and OMG desserts! Cheesecake, black raspberry ice cream cake, sundaes--thank goodness they only include two meals a day. Don't think I could fit any more! Kudos to Eleanor and the whole family!

From the moment we walked in, the decor was welcoming and warm. We were met with the hosts and given options where we would like to sit. We opted to dine in the enclosed porch. It was very cozy, the quartz heaters warming the area very nicely. Our server Daniel, was exceptional. Explaining all about the menu and specials. My wife had the sword fish, I had the chicken. We got the shaved brussel sprouts and the kimchi rice to share. Well.... Our food came out and presentation was spectacular. From the first bite to the last, we thoroughly enjoyed every taste we were experiencing. The chef and kitchen staff definitely showed their skill and passion for creating a great dining experience! Looking forward to coming back in the summer months to enjoy outside.

We have been to 'the dock' Thanksgiving for more years than I can count and ALWAYS had an amazing meal and took home some great leftovers.

The coffee is average, the prices are as well (about $4 for a latte), and the pastries are fresh and tasty.

Lightly breaded and fried. Yummy. Did need salt but otherwise well made. Main was their burger. So good! Juicy and flavorful. The onion jam was delicious. Their wine selection is very good. Get the flight. It's a really good deal and you can try 3 different wines. Service was quick and food came out fast and hot. Others noted the prices a a little high but the food was really good.

The Settlers Inn is a historic Arts & Craft Lodge that was built in Hawley, Pennsylvania in 1927…read more It was founded by local citizens in Hawley. Shortly after the completion of Lake Wallenpaupack (a man-made lake), local businessmen believed that tourists would come to see it and they raised funds to build a grand hotel known as the 'Hawley Community Hotel'. When the building was nearly finished, the stock market crashed and it sat empty for 20 years. It officially opened to the public in 1947 and went through several owners. It served as a nursing home, an inn, and even a private school. Since 1980, the inn has been owned and operated by hospitality experts Jeanne and Grant Genzlinger who dubbed it 'The Settlers Inn'. The on-site restaurant and Chestnut Tavern offer farm-to-table menus highlighting quality products of local farms and purveyors. Kate Woehrle is the current executive chef. The inn has been a member of Historic Hotels of America since 2010. My family and I recently visited The Settlers Inn while we were spending Memorial Day weekend in the Poconos. The timing of our visit coincided with their Memorial Day Brunch. The beautiful hotel had a spacious dining room that even featured live music from a piano player. To drink, I ordered the "Settlers Inn Bloody Mary" (blue cheese olives, alpine beef stick, aged cheddar, dilly beans, pepperoncini, celery). This was a great brunch cocktail! Our server brought us some delicious complimentary Brewer's Bread for the table. For the appetizer course, I had the "Smoked Trout Dip" and my wife had the "Black Pepper Ricotta Toast" (asparagus, cured egg yolk). We were both happy with our choices. For the entree course, I had the "Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict" (potato pancakes), my wife had the "Crispy Chicken Sammy" (coleslaw, brioche, roasted jalapeño aioli), and our son had the "Birthday Cake French Toast". Everything was excellent and tasted so fresh! For dessert, our server told us to help ourselves to the dessert table which featured fresh baked goods like cookies and cannoli. We had a fantastic brunch at the Settlers Inn and would definitely return on a future visit to the Poconos!

A beautiful sight to behold. If only we have time, there is a walking trail along. The tour was enjoyable, our guide was amazing.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try something different, and decided that instead of booking a…read moretraditional hotel room we rent a cabin for the weekend. I booked our cabin stay through hotels.com. The following day I received a phone call from the resort asking me for the credit card information as hotels.com did not charge us directly. No big deal. When I initially booked the cabin I didn't do my research as I usually do and was freaked out when I read that a guest had bed bugs in their room. So naturally when I received the phone call from the resort it was the perfect time to ask if they have had or were recently experiencing any issues with bed bugs. The lady (I forgot her name) told me that they did have an issue but that they only had an issue because the guest that wrote the review about the room having bugs were the ones who had brought them. I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but I had planned an entire weekend, a holiday weekend at that so I decided to give it a go. Besides the lady was nice and kinda put my worries at ease. We arrived on a Friday evening. Maria checked us in and she was just as nice. Upon getting to our room "9A" we noticed there was no place to park. I called Maria to ask her where we could park and she said she would send someone to clear out our parking spot. It had snowed a few days before so there was a bit of snow still on the grounds. Within a few minutes someone was there clearing out our parking spot. The room itself was small but cozy. It seemed like nobody had been there in some time. The bathroom was a nice size and pretty clean. I immediately started looking for bed bugs but luckily didn't find any. Thank you Jesus! LOL My only complaints are these. One of the locks on the door was broken. There weren't any toiletries, not even a small bar of soap to bathe with. And lastly, although there were no bed bugs (thank you again Jesus) I found what looked like dead bug stains on the comforter. I would have liked to give them a three and a half rating but it wasn't possible so I gotta give them a three. All in all, we were happy with our stay. Employees were nice, room was decent, and the view was fascinating. We would definitely return, and we would definitely recommend.
