The "one family to another" experience
Karen, Jessie, Jamie and I were so very impressed with your resort in June of 2009. It is our first visit and such a perfect fit for family and or even just a couple who want a great location and have access to so much at one place on the lake. All the lodge/units are one of a kind and unique, so much beach area, moorage, boat launch, fuel dock, pool, sauna, very spacious.......other than a run to town for trying a new menu or grabbing some supplies, you have it all right there at the foot of Road #2.
We can see why traditions of coming back year after year are common for families here. The smiles and happy faces tells it all. You have stayed away from the high price commercial look and really have conquered the "one family to another" experience for all to enjoy. I hope this note I share brings great feelings to you all as it was for me to write it.
Thank you so much and we can't wait to come back.

Beautiful location
The "only" place to stay at Lake Chelan if you are looking for a place to kick back and relax. Beautiful location without all the chaos of the bigger name resorts - yet everything you need is within easy reach. Wonderful staff and wonderfully maintained units and grounds.

Family
We have many fond memories of our stays at Watson's but most important is our getting together as a family for a whole week to just have fun and relax and enjoy each other. We love the adults only time in the pool between 2:00PM and 4:00PM. Thanks.

Quality time
Both our sons grew up spending their summers at Watson's. Now our son Todd has a place at Watson's and we have a chance to spend some quality time with our grandchildren.

Blessed
Our family has enjoyed Watson's for many years. We think we are very blessed to have an affordable vacation home. We find that we have privacy but still the fun of being around friends.

Stressed to mellow
I work in a high stress job at a very busy hospital. Every year I look forward to going on vacation at Lake Chelan and Watson's. Every year I arrive all stressed out and within hours, I'm just plain mellow. I thank you but mostly, my family really thanks you. I will continue to spend summers with you. Thank you

Escape the world
I grew up vacationing on Lake Chelan. I saw the Watson's ad and decided to call. Watson's takes me back to my childhood. Everyone is so friendly. While at Watson's, I can disconnect from the world. Swim, Ski, Tan and Relax. Watson's continues to be a great place to escape the world and relax. I wish that I could come for longer than one week.

Calms, relaxes and re-energizes
The best thing for me is that when we are at Watson's, we have real quality family time. We spend a lot of time together. We love that this is a family resort and the beauty of the area at Watson's is superb. The beauty of the area is like nothing else. It makes you feel good just to sit on the beach and take it all in. It calms, relaxes and re-energizes. We love it.

Low key
I think you've done a fantastic job of keeping the flavor and atmosphere suitable for families and low key recreation and relaxation.

Nicest place
We are convinced that it is the nicest place on the lake. It has something for everyone of every age. If you can't relax and enjoy yourself at Watson's, you can't relax and enjoy yourself anywhere in the world.

I spent many weekends as a kid at the lake. It is so good to be back on the lake in one of the most beautiful spots.
