The Historic Powhatan Resort indoor pool will be closed for repairs from September 29 through October 10, 2008. Powhatan guests will have access to the Greensprings Vacation Resort indoor pool. Outdoor pools will remain open until November 1, 2008.

Wow, outdoor pool open through October, might be quite cool (so to speak)!

From what I recall about that indoor pool, it probably will require quite a bit longer to do all the needed repairs. I thought it was an embarrassment last year. FWIW, I loved the outdoor pool in Sedona last winter with ice-on-the-ground when The Ridge used to contract with the Hilton for their pool. The constant 85 degrees was perfect. We should continue to urge Powhatan to keep the outdoor pool well maintained and heated.

I can't remember for sure but I don't think Powhatan has a heated outdoor pool, and Williamsburg's climate is not like Sedona.

You are correct Powhatan does not have an heated outdoor pool. September and October temperatures in Williamsburg can be strange times with high in the seventy's.

Today it is 75 degrees in Colonial Williamsburg.

Nothing new

That pool has been a mess for over a decade & closed far more often than its been open (the indoor one). Another example of poor management as they have made many attempts to "fix it" yet the problems remain. Cost of too many wasted $$ and down time.

If the outdoor pool is not heated, it's going to be awfully chilly in October.

At least DRI is doing something will those increased MF's besides towels, duvets and management fee's.
