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.

OMG--what a treasure…read more My wife and I are longtime devotees of wellness and spiritual retreats. Over the years we've stayed at Kripalu in Lenox, the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, Spirit Rock in California, Ann Wigmore in Puerto Rico, Hippocrates in West Palm Beach, 10,000 Waves in Santa Fe, Gurney's in Montauk, Pura Vida in Costa Rica, Dreams Tulum in Mexico, and Plum Village in France. We've been around the block. Just two hours from Brooklyn, Sanivan delivered some of the best food we've ever eaten--anywhere. Breakfasts of French toast, porridge, or eggs laid each morning by the hens in the backyard were followed by sumptuous vegetarian lunches and evening smoothies made with homemade cultured yogurt and berries. The result: eight pounds lost in eight days, without hunger or deprivation. Sanivan is run by Saniye and her husband Ivan, who have made it their life's work to transmit the wisdom of wellness through living it fully and sharing it generously. Saniye does all the cooking, and Ivan is a master ballroom dance teacher and gifted body practitioner, expert in shiatsu, deep tissue, reflexology, and Raindrop therapy. During our eight-day stay, we learned tango, salsa, and merengue, and each received extraordinary bodywork in a beautifully designed spa with radiant floors and heated massage tables. Each day Ivan foraged through the surrounding farm country, sourcing pristine ingredients for Saniye to prepare. Meals were taken beside a kitchen window overlooking a bird feeder alive with activity; during a snowstorm, two deer wandered right up to the glass to nibble fallen seed. Sullivan County revealed itself as a hidden wellness and farm-to-table oasis, with a burgeoning "hickster" scene centered nearby in Livingston Manor. At Sanivan, we ate astonishingly fresh, vibrant food while two feet of snow blanketed the ground. Even in the heart of the blizzard, a local farmer arrived with a sack of organic, greenhouse-grown sprouts--three varieties, still alive with vitality. In a strange and wonderful way, the experience felt more exotic than a tropical retreat. From 1910 to 1970, this area was a thriving Borscht Belt resort region--Hurleyville is where Mel Brooks got his start--before falling into decades of dormancy. Today, it's reemerging as a sophisticated hub for self-starters and adventurers. Two blocks from Sanivan, a Parisian woman and her partner, former Park Slope residents, have opened a gourmet café and are expanding into a farm-to-table restaurant. Nearby, a Kundalini yoga studio operates out of a picturesque red barn. Within 20 minutes are a constellation of small mountain towns experiencing a quiet-edge renaissance: Mountaindale, Smallwood, Cochecton, Parksville, Jeffersonville, White Lake, and Narrowsburg. Add to that a deep fly-fishing culture centered on the Beaverkill River in Roscoe and Livingston Manor, where the sport took hold in the late 1800s and drew generations of New Yorkers seeking the outdoors. As a history buff, I found the layered cultural and communal life of the region endlessly fascinating. Every moment felt exploratory and alive. We're Brooklynites always in search of rest and healing, and discovering that kind of joy so close to home felt like a gift. We'll be back in the spring to swim in the Sanivan saltwater pool and watch farm country wake from its long winter sleep. Addendum from Shoshana (Noel's wife): I'm in wholehearted agreement with everything shared above. I would only add how deeply appreciative we were of our time with Saniye and Ivan--both are genuinely curious, caring, and fully engaged in their respective paths of healing work. It was a joy to spend time together in thoughtful conversation, while also feeling their sensitivity to our need for quiet and alone time, especially during the gentle detox we experienced. Having both a sauna and a gym in the house was an enormous support, and we made grateful use of them throughout our stay.

Sanivan provides a wonderful and intimate retreat experience…read more The food (mostly consisting of fruits and vegetables from Sanivan's gardens, whole grains, and vegan proteins) is out of this world. The owners are not just accommodating, they are also trained in the healing arts. You will leave Sanivan feeling as though your body, mind and spirit have been transformed and rejuvenated. This is a three bedroom "bed and breakfast" experience, and includes three meals a day. The spa treatments, sauna, and cold plunge pool will invigorate and recharge your system. Give yourself the gift of a Sanivan retreat experience. You won't regret it .

We booked the day in advance and learned after our appointments that the spa had been surprisingly…read morebusy recently when we asked about the parking situation. We circled a lot looking for spots, trying to get our bearings. It wasn't until after circling for a while that we called the spa and they said valet was included in our service. No one told us that when we were booking. And no one told us that like it would be like arriving at Disney World to try and find a parking spot, the valet was included... but if you wait in line you'll get stuck there for 30 mins. I'm sure this isn't every time but the day before? These things you should know. My massage therapist, Nickeisha, was very attentive and friendly however I was not impressed with the facilities. I didn't appear that they had a lot of business even though they said they had been very busy. We only ever saw one other customer, briefly. The relaxation room was rather sterile. I'm used to beautiful decorating and light refreshments supplied. For the price, I think they should be providing more than room temperature, shortie water bottles. My spa at home is in an urban area, and yet costs $50 less per hour and provides: cold cucumber- and fruit-infused water, a tea/coffee or chai drink station, a small cookie variety tray, granola dispenser and then they come in to check on you once you've gone into the relaxation room to see if you'd like to have a glass of wine or champagne. The room is decorated attractively with a Tv playing relaxing spa-like scenes and long flowing curtains that provide some sense of privacy and relaxation in the dimly lit room along with quality music. This relaxation room at Mt. Airy looked sterile, like a hospital room and no music. The music during my massage was laughably cheeseball. I made the therapist knowingly chuckle when I told her it sounded like a mix between music back in the day in the Kmart restaurant and let's call it bad "racy" videos with its corny synth beats. Surely you can afford ASCAP fees to pay for something decent?? Even AI could produce better. But don't be cheap. Support musicians. Pay the annual fee. Back in the locker room, the pickled smell of casino cigarette smoke lingers lightly in the air. What I mentioned it to staff, they said they're fully aware and basically there was nothing being done about it. When I'm coming for a health retreat, why would I want to fill my lungs with a carcinogen? Seriously. I understand that the Mount Airy casino is a different owner and your power may be limited on that front, but at minimum you have every ability to run multiple air purifiers so that your guests have a better experience. There's really no excuse for all of this other than poor management. I have my doubts that an owner or management team allows things like this to slide is ever going to read this review, so maybe this is just for those that care and need air purification, I strongly recommend the filter-free Smart air purifier Nuwave OxyPure ZERO

The staff is very accommodating and friendly but the biggest issue with this facility is they close basically at 7:30pm which is the earliest I've ever seen anywhere and it's even earlier on the weekends.

It's insanely hard to get out of work and get there and get a work out in before they close and forget about making it to the sauna.
