It seems incredible that the summer has gone, fall is in full swing and the Vista will be preparing to sleep for the winter. We have some exciting winter renovation projects planned. Nothing will compare to the pool renovation that we took on last winter. It was a huge project but so well worth it. Our guests were enthralled with the new pool, calling it the “nicest pool” they had ever seen and a “resort” pool! Alas, the pool is closed for the season but will reopen for Memorial Day weekend, 2017. We will be closed from October 30th until mid March, 2017.
We would like to thank our valued guests for their patronage, we truly appreciate your business and look forward to your next visit to the Vista!
