    I was there a few weeks ago and while there was still a bit (tiny) going on, it looked pretty complete to me. At first Ithought I'd have liked more of a restoration than the tear down, but after a day or so - I have to admit its PERFECT.

    I just can't believe how perfect it is - not that it wasn't before!

    I do miss that shallow pool just outside the old hot pool, it wasn't all that "comfy" but I loved it anyway. Now they have two similar types of pools in more or less the same location. I'm not exactly sure how they differ, but they are side by side, and very new looking.

    Honestly the place now feels more like a SPA and its cool with me! I did notice that while things have changed in the physical sense, the people are as before! A nice place with nice people who come together and make a beautiful place in a beautiful setting... all the more BEAUTIFUL.

    THE PLACE IS AWESOME

      so i just stayed up there this wkend, my first visit in nearly a year....
      the new setup is amazing!!! they did an awesome job with the construction throughout, and even integrated a bunch of the old wood into the new bathhouse, which features a heated changing room, bathroom, and showers which one can use soap and shampoo in (for the first time in the 20 years i've been going there, i can shampoo in the shower! what a luxury!!)

      the old "hot" tub (wooden) is in the same spot it was as a "temporary" tub, they've left it out.

      they built a lovely deck above the 2 gorgeous in-ground hot pools....it has 2 bathtubs on it which you can fill on demand, to like 103 degrees or so. and downstairs are the ~6 private tub rooms which are really nice!

      the only downside is they got rid of the group room. i camped there, which was very nice, but won't be such a great option in the winter.
      it is kinda expensive to stay there solo, but the place does rule!!
