The Woods Resort

  • November 10, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by jrheimbach from Olathe, Kansas
The Woods Resort offers 1, 2, and 3 bedroom cabins along with 200 motel rooms. All the motel rooms are accessible from ground level which was momentarily confusing. Driving down to the back side of the motel, our room was on the second floor, but we could not find stairs. Built into a hill, the front of the motel was ground level, and provided a walkway to the second level on the back. Nicely done for people who did not like stairs, but there was not any ramp from the parking lot to the walkway.

Our room was spacious and clean. We did have a coffee pot with two bags of regular coffee (no decaf). Missing from the hotel were niceties such as an iron & ironing board, and hair drier. Fortunately, we had called ahead and knew to bring our own. The sink and counter area were lower than most, allowing them to be accessible from a wheelchair. Interestingly enough, the bathroom itself was not accommodating for wheelchairs.

The resort area literally sat in the woods. Walking trails through the woods started just off the lobby. The first section of the trail was paved, then turned into a hiking style trail, but well marked. A natural water fountain, with a manmade resting area, could be found about a quarter mile distance from the resort lobby. From there, other trails meandered through the woods. My wife and I spent one afternoon walking as many of the trails as we could. We never met up with any other hikers the entire time.

The lobby extended to include a sitting room area. During our first evening, a local performer sat in a chair by the fireplace and explained to a group of guests how to play the guitar. Ice cream sodas could be purchased in the eating section of the lobby for a dollar. Just off the large lobby patio were areas for horseshoes and shuffleboard. Across from the lobby was the clubhouse and outdoor pool. Two pavilions and a playground area surrounded the outdoor pool. A small basketball court and sand volleyball lot were located just off the parking lot. The temperature of the indoor pool was more like bathwater than swimming water, so we skipped swimming. We did use the workout room as it included two treadmills, a stair-stepper, stationery bicycle, and weight equipment. A massage therapist was available by appointment.

Coffee and doughnuts were offered in the lobby every morning, and a breakfast buffet for $4 was available in building 2. We did eat there one morning, taking our plates of biscuits & gravy and grits out to the spacious patio, enjoying the quiet and peaceful autumn weather.

We were very close to all the activities, shows and shopping. The staff were very accommodating and informative. The resort had wonderful parks around it with water falls, and it also had organized sports activities which my grandchildren loved.

Best Things Nearby:
The main circle of Entertainment theatres were just down the hill. I found this resort was ideal for a hub of the area.

Best Things About the Resort:
The units. This resort is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. Very well maintained. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The staff at the resort were extremely professional. The planned guest activities were superb. You actually had the entertainers coming to the resort to sing/play to entice you to their shows.

Resort Experience:
The resort is up a steep hill just off the main Hwy in Branson. First you will see wonderful little log cabins that are privately owned. The rooms are spacious and secluded. We never knew we had downstairs neighbors! The walkway to the porch made you feel like you were in a treehouse. Entering the condo you are amazed at the size! There is a living room with fireplace, dining room (with screened in porch connected), kitchen (small but well equipped) and washer/dryer. At the foot of the stairs is the door leading into the studio/lockoff which is a 2nd bedroom. Second floor contains the master suite with a huge bathroom & jacuzzi tub. The master bedroom has windows to view the living room. The studio also had a large bathroom, kitchenette, and private entrance. There is an indoor pool, small exercise room, outdoor pool, and hiking trails.

The resort accommodations are like townhomes with enclosed side porches. They are fantastic in every aspect. This is one of the best places that I have ever stayed at with my timeshare. Location is superb and the employees are topnotched.
