1BR/1BA Full Kitchen with Stove, Oven, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Toaster, Blender, etc. Dining Table / 4 chairs, Living Room area with Loveseat and Queen Sleeper sofa, Master Bedroom with King size bed with full size bathroom / shower, Outdoor Deck / Patio has a scenic and panoramic Garden view and table / 2 chairs,

This spacious 1BR unit at approximately 700sq ft is rated to sleep four (4) persons.

GARDEN / RESORT CATEGORY:

While the resort itself borders Lake Wallenpaupack, most of the units at Tanglwood don't have a direct view of the lake because this property is wooded, so there may be some trees blocking your view. Since your unit will be assigned at Check In, you may have a partial view of the Lake from your Balcony / Patio, but that is NOT guaranteed. You may also get a view of the trees with the Lake beyond, and not really visible from your unit.

UNIT INTERIORS:

This property was originally constructed in the 1980's.

Although these units were updated in the last 5 year, you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable but dated. These units definitely have more of a rustic, almost like a cabin at the lake type feel. Hopefully the photos provided give you a general understanding for what I am describing.

The benefits offered by this resort are the overall amenities (including a large outdoor lakeside pool), being conveniently located right next to Lake Wallenpaupack. You also benefit from these spacious units being priced lower than comparable options of the same size in the area.

Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

GUEST ACCESS

Your unit is private, but since this is a large Resort property, amenities will be shared with other guests (Pools, Outdoor Games, etc).

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

- Primary Guest checking in must be at least 21 years of age with a valid ID and credit card for security deposit. If a security deposit is required, it will be returned to you after Check Out if you have not made any charges to your room.

- Tanglwood Resorts is professionally managed and operated by Vacation Resorts International (VRI). The Front Desk is staffed for Check-In, Check-Out, and is available for any questions, issues, or need for assistance during your stay.

- Check In time is 4:00pm and check out time is 10:00am. Please check with the resort Front Desk for any possibility of earlier unit availability and / or early use of the resort amenities during check-in days.

- FREE Parking for one or two vehicles is included with this unit, which you will receive from the Front Desk at Check In. If you need parking for an additional vehicle you can arrange this directly with the Front Desk.

- Bedding linens (sheets and pillow cases) and pillows are provided.

- However, if you have favorite pillows, or if you sleep better using a certain type of pillow, it would be good to bring your own.

- If you plan on using the Sleeper sofa during your stay, I definitely recommend bringing your own sheets, pillows, and blankets, maybe even a mattress pad for the Sleeper sofa specifically, which can be turned into a very comfortable extra bed.

- Bath and Hand towels are provided for you and will be inside your unit when you arrive.

- There is no daily housekeeping provided. If additional housekeeping is desired during your stay it is available for an additional fee scheduled directly with the resort Front Desk.

- There is a Coin operated Laundry Facility in your building.

- Each Guest will receive a "Starter Package" from the Front Desk at Check In. This will have basic supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc to get you thru the first day or two of your stay. However it is highly recommended to bring additional PAPER products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, etc) and your own CLEANING products (detergents, cleaners, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, etc). Due to the circumstances this year you may find that local stores don't have the full inventory of supplies you need, or the specific brands you prefer to use. I recommend you definitely be prepared for this by bringing your own supplies in these categories based on what you feel you will need for the week.

- A Boat slip might be available for your use, but these are LIMITED and are on a First Come / First Serve basis. You would need to coordinate this to see if one was available for you if you wanted to take your own Boat / Watercraft.
