efreshed resort reopens following closure
Kah-Nee-Ta Resort has undergone major renovation In recent
months. And, after a four-month closure, has reopened, sporting
a fresh new look and marked improvements.
Most major among the renovation efforts is the extensive
revamping of the Village pool. According to resort manager Don
Courtney, $195,000 was spent on the extensive repairs to the pool
and adjacent area. The worn and aging decks and glass walls
have been replaced, the cracked and somewhat smooth concrete
has been repaired and all electrical wiring and plumbing were
replaced to ensure safety and efficiency..
After eight years as a residence for resort assistant managers,
the Chiefs' Suite has been put back in the renter's pool. The Suite
is newly painted, recarpeted and redecorated. The soft, pastel
hues emphasize the serene atmosphere guests seek at the resort.
And for even more relaxation, a hot tub has been installed in one
corner that has a view of the surrounding scenery.
The Juniper dining room has a new look, complete with new
furnishings and carpeting. The colors of central Oregon have
been incorporated into the scheme of the dining room as well as
the Teepee Lobby. New tables and chairs have been addded to
the restaurant and new seating has been added to the Lobby. The
furnishings and carpeting have added a warm and pleasant
atmosphere to the Lodge.
Also included in the $718,000 renovation package was work on
the Fountain Room, golf course and the acquisition of the tele
phone system. A satelite TV system will be added later. A new
computer system may be purchased later, also. Safety chains
and peep holes were added to all lodge room doors and smoke
alarms were installed in all rooms.
"We're bringing the resort back to code," said Courtney. The
changes and improvements will"ensure customer satisfaction."
Not yet started is the work on the River Room at the Village.
Courtney stated that the restaurant is in need of serious repair. A
total of $275,000 has been committed for that job. Also, one
cottage, number 9, has been completely done over to the tune of
$19,000. It, like the Chiefs' Suite, has a hot tub, new furniture,
appliances, carpeting and paint.
If you haven t visited the resort recently, plan to do so soon.
You'll discover a special and pleasant surprise. Gone is the
Hotel , Spa and Modified American Plan . In their places are
the familiar "Lodge", "Village" and the pricing practices which we
all know. Instead of being invited to find "Another Culture" and a
place that "Outshines All The Rest", guests are invited to "Bask in
the Warmth. ..of Ancient Tradition." not only is there tradition,
there's familiarity. ...a familiarity that's been improved and
updated.
