    Tammy, the owner, is incredibly rude and she's a liar. I stayed at Central House for my cousin's wedding. Tammy practically met me at my car interrogating me about if I had spoken with the bride because she owed her money, as if that's any of my business. I'm not the only guest she met in this manner. When I called to book my room, she told me there was one room left and it had a queen bed. I told her that would not work for me, my daughter and granddaughter and suddenly, there was a room available with two twins. That was fine, we brought a pack n play for the baby. One room on one side of us and two rooms on the other side were empty both nights we stayed so I guess she must have had last minute cancellations. I think it's more likely she lied about how full the resort was when I called. We arrived after 12 hours on the road and just wanted to take showers and go to bed but there was no hot water. I called the desk and Tammy's immediately response was, "Well, no one else has complained. You just have to let it run for a little bit." We had let it run for 10 minutes. We timed it. So we went to bed dirty (the beds were hard as rocks, literally like sleeping on the ground) and asked to have someone look into it while we were at breakfast the next morning (we had to go into town because it's not provided). Fred came into our room and "got water so hot he could barely run his hand under it." Apparently 12 minutes is the length of time it takes for the heat. We were put room 602 which is a handicapped room. But there's only a shower, no tub, with no lip to keep water in. So we had to give the baby a bath in another cousin's room and the entire floor in the bathroom was soaked and very slippery. We used the bath mat and one of the towels to soak up some of the water and when we asked for a couple more towels at the office we were told we would have to bring the wet towels to trade them in or wait for housekeeping. There is black mold where the shower floor meets the tile of the bathroom floor. I reached to turn on the lamp to change a diaper when the baby woke in the middle of the night and the socket was pulled completely out of the stem of the lamp. And I have heard of hotels flipping sheets inside out instead of washing them between customers but have never witnessed it until this weekend. The sheets on my bed were inside out. Tammy is such a stickler, I can hardly believe her housekeeping staff isn't drilled on how to dress a bed properly. The wedding was nice, beautiful. However, there were not enough places set for dinner. I called her to ask if she would set up another table and she outright refused. She told one of the bridesmaids she couldn't do it because of fire codes. She told me it just would not be done. Then she yelled at me that I was ruining my cousin's wedding because she was going to have to interrupt her pictures to talk to her about the seating. She blamed the bride for not having made a seating chart. We took 8 chairs from a corner and squeezed them in at tables already set and they did eventually set up a 4 top table in the corner of which all seats were filled. My cousin was told places would be set only for people who RSVP'd. I doubt 12 people showed up who had not RSVP'd but that was Tammy's story. The food was bland and mediocre. The staff were very nice, aside from the woman from the kitchen who came out into the room to tell one cousin's husband that his wife was rude because she went into the kitchen asking where we could find chairs. When I was on the phone with Tammy about the chairs and mentioned the 1 star review I was writing in my head, she said, "Oh that's nice. Come on back!" I told her I most certainly will not and I don't ever plan to break my word. She is incredibly rude and unaccommodating. Reading other reviews, it seems like she has regulars that she caters to and everyone else is just someone to get money from. She is very much all about the money.

    Beautiful lake available for guest to swim, paddle boat, fish etc.

    I can see why family members continue to return and make this place a yearly vacation spot. This amazing small property is well maintained and staff do their best to accommodate guest needs. Resort packages are well priced. Management and staff arranged daily activities for entire family to be able to participate. Property has a well kept pool and hot tub. They do not offer pool towels, so bring your own towels from home. There's a wonderful little park and basketball court for kids to play. A lovely deck area to sit and take in the beautiful scenery of the lake and surrounding. You can also paddle board, swim and fish in the lake. Rooms could use updating just on small things; furniture, rug and bed spread. Beds were comfy, only 2 pillows per bed. A/C worked well. But with all the available activities you wont be in your room. Food was good and there was plenty of it. It's a pre-fix menu, at set meal times, served family style; breakfast, lunch and dinner. As for my reason for not giving this place a 5 star review was because staff became overwhelmed, we did have to ask for things more than once but did their best to ensure our request were fulfilled . Second, because its a pre-fix menu no other options for your meals...you get what you are served. Definitely recommend this place for families!!

    Great time in the hot tub

    Drinks by the pool only two hours from NY. Great hot to to relax in too. My family has been coming here for over 40 years. Can't beat the price for the amount of service they provide.

    I've been going to Lukan's for Easter every year my entire life, and my family has been going long…read morebefore me! Every year is better than the next. 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.

    Just returned from a long weekend at Lukans Farm Resort. Needed to just relax and unwind, and…read morethere is no place better! The rooms are beautiful, clean, very comfortable, quiet and smoke free! Tennis, basketball, ping pong, hiking trails, farm animals (even peacocks!), and a relaxing outdoor pool! But the most fabulous part is the food. Breakfast and dinners always SUPER DELICIOUS! Fresh baked rolls start every dinner. 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! Special kudos to her son, the Chef!! We'll be back!! Carol P. August, 2025

There is a good reason this is named one of the top destination spa/resorts in the country. Golf is across the road, along with an olympic outdoor pool, volleyball, tennis and more. Saturday night you can take the free shuttle and see an off-Broadway quality show for free! You can dine outside at their farm (extra fee). Go, chill and enjoy!

    A Perfect Wellness Getaway for Burnt-Out Parents…read more My husband and I spent just one night at The Lodge at Woodloch to celebrate our anniversary--our first time away from the kids since they were born--and it was everything we needed to recharge. From the moment we arrived, we felt cared for. No tipping worries, a warm welcome with a handy tote and waterbottle, and a quick orientation set the tone. Yes, it's a splurge--but worth every penny for the details alone. We loved strolling the nature trails, spotting deer, and relaxing in the woods cabin stocked with water, tea, bug wipes, and even a s'mores kit (plus a real bathroom few steps away!) Kayaking was peaceful, and our massages melted the stress away--though I do wish they had included fingers! The Whisper Lounge was a dream: dim lights, cozy silence, and snacks that let you fully unwind. Coffee/tea/water everywhere. Meals were fresh, organic, and delicious--especially the salads straight from their farm. The three included meals per day made dining a highlight (just don't recommend the pork bao - dry side) We took chakra yoga, tai chi, self defense and even a sketch/painting class--everything was thoughtfully led and enriching. Loved all of our instructors! Only feedback: separate the activity desk from the spa desk, as the spa reps seemed stressed. Also be sure to check the bill to ensure you are not charged an extra meal. Overall, we left grounded, nourished, and already looking forward to our return. Just 2.5 hours from NYC--highly recommend for parents or anyone needing a true reset. (Instagram @Jubes111 )

    Reviews of super honesty, from a guest for a day…read more Not good: Trying to get there. As soon as you get to the edge of the property, you are navigating a maze of tiny signs in Woodloch handwriting, trying to figure out where to turn to sign in. I made a couple of wrong turns. Once I got there, I had to figure out where the door was. Signing in was actually quite painless, mainly because other family members had signed in moments before, but I didn't get a map so I was lost the rest of the time, depending on others to navigate around (and we definitely had questions). Event timing. I missed out on a couple of events because things we wanted to do were double-booked. Then we had off time when nothing was booked. Why not spread things out throughout the day? Events themselves. We thought bowling would be fun. It was a hollow ball so that anyone any age could roll it. The bad bowlers did better than the good ones. That's what made me miss trivia, though perhaps that would have also been no fun. Okay: A nice house we got, though the living room had a bunch of wasps outside the window so I was definitely not happy there. Clear your nests. Also at least one of our cards went bad, but I wasn't staying more than a day so I didn't have to worry about that. Beers. A couple of locals, just poor selection overall. Good: Pools. Multiple. All ages, all temperatures. Too crowded outslde? Go inside. Three different hot tubs. Kiddie splash area inside, which added to my family's enjoyment when I accidentally discovered it while wandering inside to use the restroom. (Part of that being lost problem. Lack of signs for anything.) Food. Though it went on my family's tab, they will feed you whatever you want for whichever meals you sign up for. My family will enjoy breakfasts and dinners to their hearts' content. Very high quality meals. You are assigned a table and a server, for whatever that's worth to you - definitely one less way to get lost! But if you don't like your server... I'm willing to bet they would work something out. Guest service was not a problem. Overall: I am being a little generous in stars because resorts are not my thing. But this place is in desperate need of an upgrade in signing everything. Post maps in more places. Upgrade your experiences and spread them over the course of the day. For now: You have been warned. Good luck.

It is a short five minute walk to Narrowsburg restaurants and shops. Rooms: The rooms are comfortable, great heating system, and wonderful shower and water pressure. Very comfortable beds and linens. The artwork in our room was great- plus there was a telescope in our room!! Lobby Experience: If I can give 10 stars, I would! The lobby staff is warm and inviting, helped us with our bags, offered coffee and danishes in the morning, pool table, intimate pockets to enjoy a game of chess while soaking up a beautifully decorated experience. Bar: Hands down best cocktails I've had and very reasonably priced. This is a true cocktail bar. Warm lighting, comfortable tables, artwork, plants, a fireplace, and great playlist. The menu has a great offering and the bar staff very attentive. This is a fantastic place to unwind by the fire and enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail. There were a few locals that were at the bar that were so friendly, giving us great town recommendations. 10/10 experience. Staff: The staff was exceptional, very genuine and authentic. The level of hospitality they offered was something I rarely come across while traveling. Had an incredible stay and will definitely be back.

We stayed in Room 734 from April 10-13 and paid over $1,000 for what was supposed to be a romantic getaway. Unfortunately, the condition of the room was extremely disappointing. The room was not clean or well maintained. There were stains on the ceiling, soot on the wall above the fireplace, and the door was in terrible condition, dirty on the inside and peeling on the outside. The TV in the bedroom even had a black line going through the picture. The biggest issues were with the pool and tub. The pool jets didn't work, and the ladder had a missing step, which made it difficult and honestly unsafe to get out of the pool. I personally struggled getting out because of this. The "champagne glass" tub also had a yellow stain where the water comes out, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness. We brought these issues to the front desk and were told there were no rooms available to switch to. We were also told a manager would call us to discuss compensation, but we never received a call back. For the amount of money we spent, this experience was unacceptable. I understand that things can go wrong, but the lack of maintenance, cleanliness, and especially customer service is what stood out the most. Very disappointing experience overall.

    This place is HORRIBLE…read more Let me start by saying that I do not own a timeshare (scam of all scams) and I am staying here with someone who does, and I can't wait to leave in two days. When we walked in, this place was filthy. Dusty, spider webs, dirty carpet, the whole nine yards. The furnishings are old and outdated, and some don't even work properly. The absolute worst part is the bed. The sheets have multiple blood stains that whoever cleaned this place attempted to hide by turning the sheet over, except you can see right through the sheet. Same story with the blanket. The outside is also a dump and possible death trap/lawsuit in waiting. The deck is full of algae and moss, which makes it slippery. There is also an electrical box that a guest hit and moved exposing wires in a deep pit that hasn't been fixed. The owners of this dump need to sell it. Time to take ol' yeller behind the barn and shoot him...

The suites by the golf course area is a bit far from front desk maybe a 10 minute ride. The suite was nicely furnished upstairs and downstairs with a fireplace full kitchen and jacuzzi tub. It was very clean upon arrival and stocked with things to keep the place clean. We also had a private balcony and we were situated right across from the lake, beautiful views. The only reason why I gave the establishment for stars is because if you wanted to dine out your local Wendy's or McDonald's or Chinese restaurant is at least 30 minutes away. Also if you want to buy burning logs to put in the fireplace you can it's going to be a $15 charge at the front desk. Other than that it was a great experience on a whole. Very peaceful and relaxing quiet and Serene. I would definitely be visiting again.
