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.

However, these units all have the same basic floorplan, with the general decor and layout reflected in the photos. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

However, if you plan on cooking a lot of meals inside your unit, or plan any special dishes, I do recommend bringing your favorite Large Frying pan (or Large Sauté Pan, Wok, Crockpot, etc, etc) for cooking. This way you will have something you are comfortable using and you will know exactly how things will cook in it. You may also want to bring your favorite Kitchen knife(s) for food prep.
