    Hey Everyone Thanks for taking a minute to read this. I’d love your honest thoughts and opinions. We have been touring timeshares for over 10 years. Marriott always seemed to never make sense financially but Hyatt seems reasonable. We purchased Hyatt timeshare membership yesterday at Piñon...

    R-Ranch ownership - not Timeshare - in the North Georgia Mountains

    Do you love the historic and laid back North Georgia Mountains? Hiking mountain trails? Watching the world go by from a rocking chair in a stress-free natural setting? Fishing for bass, bluegill, catfish and trout or canoeing on mountain lakes? Horses and unlimited horseback riding and even an...
