I liked The Lodge at Woodloch for several reasons. I got a lot out of the guided meditation classes, including one called Healing Sounds, which uses sound to cultivate helpful qualities like patience and let go of emotions like anger. I also loved the drawing classes because I have no talent and I felt like it was something I could learn and enjoy. A jock friend enjoyed the big gym and personal trainer/ physical therapist.
The food is so good you probably won’t lose weight, and it feels like a fine dining experience, complete with live music. Owners John and Ginny Lopis, who live across the street, are a warm presence at dinner.
Large, comfortable rooms overlook the forest, where you might see deer or wild turkey. I found the public areas oversized, but it’s meant to appeal to men as well as women.
The spa itself has great facilities like the outdoor infinity whirlpool where you can gaze at the trees. The spa was clean and beautiful and the therapists accomplished. I loved my invigorating Thai Bodywork and ultra-soothing Craniosacral Massage.
I was impressed by the warmth of the staff. And it’s the only place where doormen will explain the chakras as you check in.
