Best Things About the Resort:
It was a beautifully appointed, fully equipped timeshare! It was spacious, and really had a "grand" feeling to it. We felt fortunate to have a first floor unit, too.
We loved the master bedroom and bathroom. The Jacuzzi was perfect, after doing a lot of walking during the day. . .
It was nice having a television set in the master bedroom, as well as the living room.
We liked the entire unit floor plan very much. We liked the deck off the back, looking out on tall trees and woodlands. There was a table and four chairs on the deck, too.
The second bedroom and bathroom were fine, too. And it's always nice when there's a washer and dryer! Here, those were enclosed behind a door. . .hidden, which made it nice! Detergent was provided for laundry, as well as at the kitchen sink and for the dishwasher. The kitchen was very well supplied.
Also, it took two doors to get into the unit. The outer one was an entrance to two units, and then each of those units had its own door. The entranceway was also well lighted.
The living room and dining room were just wonderful! There was a VCR, too, which we really appreciated. We were glad we could tape our favorite soap opera, and watch it when we wanted to.
Resort Experience:
Greensprings Plantation was just the greatest! We felt fortunate to get a discount on tickets in the Activities Center to Colonial Williamsburg, and we also made reservations here for the "Haunts & History" Candlelight Tour.
We enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool several times, it was one of the BEST pools we'd ever seen! Nice to have a "falls" at the head of it! That adds a special touch! Everyone was having a great time!
Walking to and from the pool was nice, too. Just the right distance for a walk!
The weight room was another thing that was appreciated. In fact, this was the first time I've ever spent any time getting acquainted with "weights"! And I'm sure glad I did!
There was not computer use available at the resort. It is available at Greenspring's sister resort, Powhatan, just a couple of miles away. You are supposed to have your ID card from Greensprings when you go there.
The resort does not host any activities or socials, other than the complimentary breakfast one morning--which is delicious--the "catch" is, you're required to listen to what amounts to a sales talk. It took quite a bit of our time, but it was rather enjoyable --and we felt that we learned something that day!
