Just returned from VWL. It is a wonderful resort. One thing to note is it is small, so a "long walk to the elevator" is more like a moderate walk in BWV.
You can use these links to see the current room reports I have as well as a resort map.
Enjoy

This is the room report link and it will give you some view comments. http://members.aol.com/InstImpres/wildernesslodge. As others have said, asking for a specific room and getting it is slim. This will give you an idea of sectional views.
