ese spacious Villas sit on a secluded area of the resort property and offer 1,550 square feet of living space. Each Villa can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests, and are the perfect vacation spot for large families or groups traveling together. e three-bedroom Villas feature a master bedroom, a second bedroom with two queen-sized beds, and a whimsical kids' suite with bunk beds, a sitting area, and a campfire-inspired nightlight. In addition to the variety of sleeping arrangements, the expansive living room hosts a pull-out sectional sofa, stone fireplace, and big-screen TV. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private outdoor patio, and a fully equipped kitchenette, guests are welcome to enjoy all the comforts of home. Unlike home, however, the Lodge provides the option of having the full- sized refrigerator and pantry fully stocked prior to arrival, a truly priceless amenity for anyone familiar with the time-consuming task of food shopping and meal planning for a group. Once outside the Villas, guests can sit back and enjoy the sweeping mountain views from the comfort of their elegant outdoor living area, designed by famed interior designer Nate Berkus. Sectional seating, an outdoor dining table, barbecue, and gas firepit fill the space, and custom fabrics add "touches of whimsy" to the natural environs. According to Berkus, the outdoor patios "reflect the natural beauty of the Poconos, as well as being a multi-functional space where families could gather to spend time together, playing games, sharing a meal, etc." Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed, with details like a stone top dining table that easily converts into table tennis with the addition of a clip-on leather net. e outdoor end tables have game boards built-in so that families can enjoy rounds of checkers or tic-tac-toe from the comfort of their patio. Guests at the Woodland Villas also enjoy access to exclusive amenities such as the Lodge's private lounge, outdoor recreational area, parking, and a separate check-in desk devoted to the Villas. Additionally, families staying at the Villas are provided with exclusive robes, slippers, and a beach bag for use at the indoor water park. VUENJ.COM 89
