I read reviews of this property rating it anywhere from 1-4 and was perplexed as why such a wide variation. The answer is the resort has a wide range of accommodations and a huge difference in quality. It has been built over at least a 30 year period, maybe longer. It is very spread out with a very rustic and well worn landscape. We stayed in a new, built in 2006, "Deluxe Studio Condo. [--]
The room was clean and had a great view. I requested a good view when I booked the room and I got what I requested. It was a nice size with a king bed, queen sofa, table and four chairs, gas fireplace, TV, and VCR. There is deck with a great view, with a table, two chairs and an electric grill. It is a second floor (top floor) walk up, at the top of the hill. The unit has a large whirlpool tub that my wife enjoyed. We stayed 3 nights.
There is a another bedroom adjoining this unit that can be locked off, so it could be a two bedroom unit, but the second bedroom would not have a lake view. It basically doesn't have a view as it looks out onto the access deck for the floor and the parking lot.
Linens were not good quality, towels were changed daily but some were frayed and all were average quality. The refrigerator made way too much noise.
The room is heated and cooled with a typical, motel type, through the wall air handling unit. As is usually the case with these units, it was noisy. The unit exhausts onto the small deck over looking Table Rock Lake. The view is great, but the experience is diminished by the noise and the hot exhaust air from the air handling unit.
The air handling unit sits under the window so it obstructs any lake view from inside the unit. So you get a good lake view when standing up inside but none when you are seated.
There are two swimming pools, one a 3-4 minute walk away next to a group of small cottages built probably in the 1960s. Another pool is an 8-10 minute walk down the hill next to the Lodge that is probably about 20 years old. (I don't think we would have liked staying there. They don't appear to be very well maintained although we did't go into any of them) The pools appear to be very, very average, although we didn't use them.
There is a large covered boat dock near the lodge, about a 10 minute walk from our condo. There are boat rentals available.
There appear to be plans for a "Club House", pool, and recreation area next to building we stayed in and there are more units being built.
Unfortunately the weather was not great during our stay,as you can see from the pictures, so we spent most of our time watching great shows. Don't miss Shoji Tabuchi!! [--]
