Hi Tuggers,
A co-worker offered to give me her Lakewood Resort ( Lake of the Ozarks) 2 bedroom timeshare ( blue float weeks) for just the closing costs. She inherited the TS from her mother and her spouse does not like to take vacations.
I stayed at Lakewood in Ocotober 2 years ago with my dad, he had an exchange week there. We were at the Lake of the Ozarks this week, so my husband and I went to Lakewood and took a tour. My friend siad the resort had been updated since I had been there, so I wanted to see it again.
This resort is an older repsort and the remodel of the units maybe brought the look of the condo up to about the 1970's in your grandmother's house. Horrible blue sculpted carpet in the living room, hallway and bedrooms. Commercial carpet on the dining area and kitchen floors and oak cabinets and white appliances in the kitchen. Blue fabirc on the furniture, old style TV sets.
But maybe the worst aspect was the fact the condo smelled smoky. I asked the tour guide about smoking policies and he said when the original deeds and agreements were done nothing was put in them about smoking. So all units are "smoking units" and they encourage people to smoke outside on the deck and after people check out, they use an ozone machine to clean and purify the air.
I would not even take the "free week" my friend is offering, not worth it ! I do not know who on HOA board selected the carpets and furniture for the "updates" but they were not in tune with modern decorating trends in the least. I thought the overall look was drab and depressing, not at all like a fun, lakeside resort should be.
Just wanted to share my impressions.
