Currently, the resort is under construction on the condo buildings only (does not affect resort common buildings). The project is replacing all of the siding, doors, windows, balconies, and roof. The buildings are going to look amazing when the project is complete. Construction started November 2008 and is expected to take three years to complete.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT OUR CONDO? Luckily, the resort condo buildings are set in a large horse shoe shape on the property. Construction has started at one end and will slowly work it's way around to the other side. Our condo is on the opposite side of where construction has started. Construction is not slated to start on our building for another 2 1/2 YEARS.
This resort is located in the Deschutes National Forest. This resort is the very last accommodation before you arrive at Mt. Bachelor (15 minutes up the road!). With the recent multi-million dollar renovation this getaway is wildly popular for couples and families.
