Smoke On The Water Bbq - Manson

The property is nice. The rooms are outdated and pretty rundown. Low end low quality amenities and furnishings. The bedding, sheets and blankets could not be cheaper. I would suggest staying a hotel or other destination. Big let down

We used RCI points to stay here so if you book something online you may have a somewhat better experience. This is our 2nd time staying here and the Lodge units are very old like from the 1980's with no updates. So you can expect things like broken floor tiles, very old carpets, kitchen cabinet doors practically falling off etc. It is usable just very old. Also note that this resort has sold the land in front of the Lodge units so now you will just have a view of the million dollar townhomes that have been built and sold to investors, say goodbye to the lake views. I assume if you book a unit outside of RCI then maybe you will get the lakefront units but be aware that they are also remodeling some lakefront units and they will also be selling those to investors. We did really like this resort location and the amenities with the lake especially if you have a boat/kayak. During our stay, none of the Lodge pools were open so we had to take a bit of a hike to use the other location pools. This resort has lost the charm for me and we will not be coming back.

While unloading our truck/settling our kids into the home, my purse was stolen from our backseat. We hadn’t even been there an hour. Then the outdoor pool gave my kids a terrible rash. Really bad experience, even though the house/view was lovely. For the price we expected better.

You do need a car to get to Wapato Pt and also to drive to the fantastic restaurants and wineries. Lake Chelan must be one of the most pristine lakes on earth. Beautiful swimming. Acres of roads and trails for walking and completely safe.

The overall quality of the condo we stayed in was very good. Very clean and comfortable. Our only complaints were the pillows were terrible! Hard as rocks. The toilet paper was lousy. It comes apart in your hands. Has to be the cheapest toilet paper on the market. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
