    We came here for a weekend for our anniversary and I wish I could have stayed a week. We stayed in a king deluxe room. We had a balcony overlooking the lake. The two pools were right next to our room with the pool bar right there. One pool was family oriented and the other was 18 and older. Both closed at a reasonable hour so not to bother us at night. The restaurant on the property was pleasant. The menu was limited but we both loved the steak! There are also seafood and chicken options. The amenities were outstanding! They also have three other properties nearby where you can enjoy their amenities. There are lots of attractions nearby. I will be back to the Silver Birches soon!

    Deck furniture dumped in a pile, not set up for our stay

    We just returned from a really disappointing stay at Silver Birches. We booked "the Big House" at a hefty price tag of $3,000 for 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The condition of the house left a lot to be desired. Several of the blinds were broken in the DOWN position so we could not see the lake (we used rubber bands to try to tie them up again). Many of the window cranks were broken so the windows didn't open, and many of those that did open had missing or broken screens. (Why rent a lake house if you can't see the lake or open the windows?). Stains on the carpet, water marks on the ceiling, not enough flatware in the house to accommodate the 10 people the house sleeps, closet doors that were off track, deck furniture dumped in a pile and not set up for us, a grill that was so dirty it caught on fire when I tried to make dinner, broken furniture, nametags still stuck on doors I guess indicating assigned rooms for the previous renters??... I could go on - but the most upsetting part was the response from senior management. The manager on duty and the groundskeepers informed us that a group of college students had rented the house just before us and held a house party with more than 50 people sleeping over. They said the kids "destroyed" the house and Silver Birches wasn't able to address all of the issues before our stay. I told them that I understood their predicament but that I didn't think I should be expected to pay full price when the home was not in the condition it should be. The manager understood and called the CEO (COO?) to see what could be done. According to her, his response was, and I quote, "Absolutely not...things happen...there are no refunds or reimbursements." She reminded him of the house party and he said, "I will not take that into consideration." I'm sorry, what? Seriously? Other notes - communication around the place is problematic. When you call the "front desk" you are first directed to a call center not on the property and then bounced to the main desk (where frequently no one answers). When we called about the scheduled live music we were alternately told "it's happening outside now" (it wasn't); "there is no music scheduled this weekend" (there was); "it was canceled" (it wasn't); "it's been moved to the restaurant" (bingo). The one and only restaurant reservation we could get mysteriously disappeared from their books and I had to beg them to accommodate us on our final night. The place is dog-friendly and not all guests pick up after their dog so in addition to all the geese poop there's dog poop lying around too. If you are mobility-impaired and not staying at the Inn or the close-in cottages, you'll have a lot of trouble navigating the extremely steep hill b/c there are no pathways. The place boasts a lot of activities but heads' up that they own multiple properties and not all of the activities actually take place at Silver Birches. The sunset toast which was scheduled to happen never took place (I waited for it). Again, I could go on. It was just overall an (extremely costly) disappointment with a shockingly rude COO. On the positive side - beds, sheets, and towels were comfy. Paddleboards and kayaks were fun. View from the bar area was stunning. Too bad we couldn't really see it through the broken blinds from our overpriced lakefront house.

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.

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!

The area was so peaceful and relaxing that we decided we weren't ready to leave. The wonderful owners made adding an extra night incredibly easy and accommodating, which we really appreciated. We stayed in Cabin 3, which had two bunk beds and a double bed, and everything was very clean and comfortable. Having a full private bathroom with hot water was a huge plus, along with a fully operable air conditioner and a Roku TV when we wanted to unwind at night. You also have the pond available for swimming, and the entire property has that quiet, laid-back atmosphere that makes you actually feel like you got away from everything. The honor-system general store was another great touch. It was extremely convenient to grab ice, food items, souvenirs, and even old-time candy without having to leave the property. The staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming throughout our stay. And having KC Peppers Bar & Grill right there is a major bonus and definitely one of the highlights of the area. What really makes Lake Wanoka special, though, is everything surrounding it. Within minutes you have incredible local dairies, farms, butchers, delis, and restaurants. Hartler Farms was a must for fresh milk and meat, and Alpine Restaurant & Deli had some of the best beef bacon and Canadian bacon I've ever had. You can spend the day exploring the area, come back with some of the best local meat and dairy you can find, and cook an unbelievable meal right at camp. It really gives you the best combination of camping, comfort, great local food, and peace and quiet. For us, it was well worth the four-plus-hour drive. The fact that we came for the weekend and ended up adding another night probably says it better than anything else could. Peaceful, clean, accommodating, and surrounded by some fantastic local food and farms. We would absolutely come back. Five stars!

    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.
