Please read this excerpt from Josephine Arrowood’s story, “Rejuvenated Duneswood Resort celebrates diversity and inclusion” which ran in the Glen Arbor Sun in June 2011:
Light paint colors on the old motel’s exterior, trim and porch posts pop against the glossy greens of its woodland setting. What had formerly been concrete block units with drywall are now sheathed in soothing tongue-and-groove pine paneling, while earth-toned tile replaces vintage carpet in bathrooms and the original hardwood floors gleam in the main rooms. Low-flow toilets and showerheads conserve water, plump new mattresses beckon, and the long front porches of each wing of the resort invite both camaraderie and contemplation. A central, lodge-like “community room” includes a full kitchen where guests can either cook their own meals or pay $5 for a continental breakfast, and gather around comfortable sofas and chairs to lounge, read, surf the ‘net, or play board games.
