Christmas Mountain Village UDI Wisconsin Dells

[Need to Travel]

This Unique Timeshare UDI ownership is being given away from excess inventory in the Homeowners Association (HOA), I am on the Board of Directors and helping this inventory to go to new owners.

This type of ownership is no longer sold at the resort. I personally own 14 deeds of this type, this type of ownership is far superior to any other timeshare ownership.

This ownership allows you to book 4 reservations at any one time at Christmas Mountain Village Resort in Wisconsin Dells in the cottage units.
•1 reservation can be reserved up to1 year in the highest demand week "red" season
•2 reservations can be booked in the white or blue season
•1 reservation can be booked 45 days from check in.based on availability

Each one of these reservations can be for up to 7 days. You may book fewer days if you like, but it does count as one of your 4 reservations. Once any reservation date is reached you can then reserve another reservation that can be booked for up to 7 full nights. There is a $55 housekeeping fee per
reservation that is used, not based on the number of nights. The $55 housekeeping fee is charged when someone checks into the unit at the resort.

UDI owners do not pay reservation cancellation fees. The resort has a 2 night minimum stay, but as long as you are willing to pay the $55 housekeeping fee there is no problem to stay one night and check out.

You may easily reserve 10 weeks per year with this ownership. Again this is based on current availability.

This resort is affiliated with both RCI and Interval International exchange companies. You may deposit into either company. My family has exchanged into Disney, Marriott, Hilton Head, SC, Aruba, St Thomas, USVI and many other destinations using this ownership. It is the best type of ownership available if you want to stay in timeshare resorts at a very reasonable rate.

When I exchange through the exchange companies I can put in one or two white weeks and get a very nice vacation for less than $300 for a week. I do rent out my high demand Red weeks to cover my maintenance fees.

You will be responsible for maintenance fees that were due June 1, 2011, the fee is 923.43 for fiscal year June 1, 2011 - May 31, 2012 .

Please feel free to call with any questions,

763-559-9686 please leave a message if I'm not there.

Closing costs are $250

I will also try to call you this evening. Thanks!

Sent you a PM

Sounds very interesting - sent you a PM.

 

[chriskre]

I took one. Still waiting to be all set up but excited about this ownership. :whoopie:

Thanks Sheri.

 

[lily28]

Is there any upcoming assessments? If yes, how much? thanks

 

[ScubaKat]

I would be interested in knowing about upcoming special assessments as well. Thanks!

 

[chriskre]

Is there any upcoming assessments? If yes, how much? thanks

Yes there is a big assessment coming. I'm not sure if it's been ratified yet but it's in the neighborhood of $3000.

Considering that is what it used to cost to buy one of these, it's kind of a wash. I'm looking at it as my purchase price.

Do the UDIs that allow 3-4 weeks incur 3-4 Special Assessments

I am looking at several different ads for Christmas Mountain UDIs (I am a newbie, own no timeshares, but am looking in WI).

Each UDI ad states you can have reserved 3-4 different weeks (intervals?) at a time, per year, and still pay one MF.

My question is would a UDI such as this be considered to be a 3-4 interval UDI, or just a 1 interval UDI? I ask because I see the coming special assessments will be based on number of intervals owned.

From the CMV website: "How much is the assessment fee going to be?
The total cost has yet to be finalized as final scope, phasing and bidding is still underway. However, based on the current scope of planned renovations we are anticipating a cost in the range of $1700 to $1800 PER INTERVAL which will be set up on payment plans based on the duration of the project."

$1,800 X 4 - $7,200! I hope it would be considered one interval per UDI, but I am have my doubts. Any comments?

Thanks!

Dave

 

[rapmarks]

we don't believe the assessment will be that high, but the UDI owners apparently have to pay 3 times the assessment.

Thank you, Rapmarks!

If you would use some time at christmas mountain and want to book weeks to exchange, this is the best product.

XMas Mountain UDI

That's what I was looking at doing, using most for personal use, and booking some to exchange.

The ad I looked mentioned the last special assessment was very low (I think it said $80), and that there 'may' be more assessments - it did NOT mention there will certainly be more special assessments, nor how significant the amounts are estimated (by the resort) to be (even 3 X $1,800 = $5,400), a pretty big piece of info to leave out, especially since it has been on the resort website for months!

Three Cheers for TUG!

Dave, cost would be based on 3 (ownership) weeks intervals.

In a effort to avoid any confusion please note there are are 2 different basic types of "Pure" UDI's at CMV. The CMV UDI Cottages that are RCI resort # 1115 and the RCI resort # 3662 Silver Crown CMV Oak Timbers UDI's .

Supposedly the members are to vote on new plans and costs that MAY BE less than Bluegreen has posted on the Bluegreen site months ago.

But there are no firm figures until the process is completed. as SUPPOSEDLY several plans are still being evaluated after most the owners objected at all of the 3 CMV HOA meetings at CMV on April 1, 2011..

I think no firm cost info was available when the OP posted so anything is still only speculation as of today. If I am wrong someone please correct me but state were you received your info from. Please do not use any salespersons claims given at a tour preservation.

Please Note the Cottages which the OP has posted about being given away and have the lower MF' s and the FIRST posed $1,200 per week for 3 weeks and not the higher $1,700 per week figure .

Note at a $1,200 per week Special assessment that would equal about $100 per square foot for the Cottage remodels which is IMHO way to high of any typical resonable remodeling cost.

The second type of larger Silver Crown CMV Oak Timbers UDI's that have the free golf and ski lift passes that are NOT being given away but do have the same type of reservation usage.

The Silver Crown CMV Oak Timbers UDI's have MF's of $1,040. for the June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012 MF year. If at $1,700 per week that would be about $5,100. per CMV UDI Oak Timbers ownership, but lower for the smaller 2 bed 1 bath CMV UDI Cottage

I hope this post helps clear up some of the confusion and why some questions can not be given a firm answer at this time by CMV owners. As you could appreciate we owners would lhave liked some firm answers over the 4 plus months but Bluegreen has provided any firm black and white cost answers .

Dave, I had overlooked but just noticed I see you only quoted part of MY ad and therefore IMHO your post is very missleading.

Note that ads tells to people to go to and look at the resorts website for the lastest updates and CLEARLY STATES in the ad that the Bluegreen CMV Website was last checked on August 10, 2011 3 days before your posting today.

HOW COULD YOU MISS THAT FACT. Bruce

Quoting that ad portion you MAY HAVE deliberately left out.

"PLEASE NOTE
There was a special assessment this past maintenance fee year of 2010-2011 that we paid in the amounts of about $80 for our deeded single week ownerships and about $150 for our deeded multiple UDI Christmas Mountain week ownerships including our Christmas Mountain UDI Bluegreen ownerships that had Bluegreen points attached to those ownerships.

Go to the Christmas Mountain website for the most current information for updates and on any remodeling etc and updates news of a possible 2011 or 2012 special assessments that could be ? be higher than the 2010-2011 maintenance fee year special assessments.

The reason would be that the remodeling upgrades could ?? be or not be ?? fairly extensive.

The good news that the remodeling grades will most likely increase the value and the pleasure of owning these ownerships and increase the rental demand and the trading power of this "BLENDED" Timbers at Christmas Mountain UDI ownership having multi-reservation reservation rights for each year.

But there were no firm figures available when first announced at the yearly Home Owners Associations on April 1, 2011 from any of the resorts 3 Home Owners Associations to report when checked and then updated this ad again on August 10, 2011 that we know of so please check the resorts website for any update. UNQUOTE.

Bruce

I have that same wordage in all of my ads if there is enough room and even on ebay and checking other ebay ads for for sales at CMV I was the only one who mentions about a Special Accessment at CMV. That Special Accessment will allply to all CMV ownwerships.

 

[Need to Travel]

How many of these are availible?

There are now 13 available. We had 20.
Re: the special assessment. We hope to know more after our Sept 7th meeting, at that time the BOD will be looking over a bid package that was sent out to potential contractors and will hopefully give us solid numbers. After the BOD comes together the update options are suppose to be sent to the owners for a vote. I hope we can come up with a reasonable solution for all owners.

Also my desire is not to have the assessment over 1000.00 per interval, I believe that amount is more than enough to cover the remodel. My goal is to have it much less but I'm only one voice.
It all depends upon if the owners want a update or a remode and how these bid packages come backl.

 

[h100]

Sorry, Bruce, didn't mean ti hit a raw spot!

But maybe it is now time to update your ad since the resort that is charging the special assessment has now stated what they feel it will be (they have specific figures for cabins, villas, . . .). I'm not sure when they posted this info, I apologize if it was recently, the website didn't say).

I would remove the $80.00 figure (that is the part that leads one to believe the special assessments may be minimal, vs the resort estimated $1,700-$1,800 X 3, or $6,100-$6,400 total).

A newbie like me (and many other first time timeshare buyers) could easily have missed your fine print, especially since it was buried in pages of info (the longest timeshare ad I have ever seen, and I have viewed a lot in the last few months)! It is nice to have the extra info, though.

I do find the free ski tickets (not so much the golf) tempting - does that apply to the tubing, too?

The other thing I was wondering was whether the 9,000 BG Points that come with the UDI would be another interval, costing another $1,700-$1,800 special assessment (the resort site says BG Points get assessed, too).

For a newbie, the blended UDI thing was difficult to understand (I think I have most of it now), and when you throw in special assessments per UDI interval, and need to figure out how many intervals, it gets more confusing.

Thanks to all who responded!

Your :rofl: math is worst than my missspellings. As ad states it was last undated August 10, 2011.

That info on the CMV website has not changed. But you ingore the facts that NO Special acessment has been approved as of today.

If you really want to understand, call the number but the ad explains about the 9,000 BG Points on a Blended UDI.

I'll take one! I sent you an email, Sheri.

Need To Travel - Question?

If possible, could you list the unit numbers of the 13 still available, or any other info?

I may do a drive-by this weekend (I'll be in Madison visiting relatives later today).

For what it is worth, as one looking to purchase, I would not have considered CMV in the past due to its' condition, but when I heard that it was being renovated, I became interested. The renovated photos on the resort site look great! And even at the high end I wouldn't rule CMV out due to the special assessment costs, if I was able to obtain a unit at little or no cost (the long term MFs are low, so I view the special assessment as a good thing, a short term cost for long term enjoyment). My vote would be to go all the way with the renovations!

Thanks for any info!

Dave

 

[JudyS]

Wow, there were a whole bunch of posts here while I was writing to Sheri!

I don't think the special assessment figure of $1700- $1800 per interval applies to Cottage units. Cottage owners were given a SA cost of $1200-$1300 per interval. UDIs are technically three intervals, so the cost might be three times as high. But, a lot of CMV owners (not just UDI owners, but owners of regular units too, I think) really flipped out over the cost, and the HOA said they would present the members with a range of options to consider.

 

[JudyS]

If possible, could you list the unit numbers of the 13 still available, or any other info? ...

I believe they are all floating units.

CMV - Only Timbers in RCI?

Need to Travel:

It appears only the Timbers property (RCI Number 3662) can now be deposited into RCI???

The Timbers is still on the RCI site (3662), but not the cabins (they HAD a number something like 5115?).

Again, any info is helpful.

Thanks!

Judy, you are correct in saying"HOA said they would present the members with a range of options to consider"

Another thing is Bluegreen only has BG Points to sell and they know that there is no comparison for value which does not help BG Points sales when people learn about UDI's. So Bluegreen and not the HOA's posted what is on the CMV website to fit Bluegreens agenda and not the regular UDI's owners.

Wrong :rofl: again. You sound like a BG Salesman with your incorrect facts. That was almost the exact same missinformation a customer friend of mine was told by a BG salesmen.

Here is what I was sent on August 7, 2011.



Quote Bruce,

I've already banked that week with RCI.

By the way, we were up at Christmas Mountain this weekend and I went through BlueGreen's little sales presentation. They were trying to get me to buy into their points program. One of the salespeople told me that due to a lawsuit against RCI, they are going to stop honoring exchanges for all of the weeks we recieve as UDI owners. He said that since our deed is only for 3 weeks per year we will only be able to bank 3 weeks per year with RCI going forward. He also said that RCI is trying to get away from weeks and move everything to points and because of this we won't be able to bank weeks with RCI much longer.

My guess is that this is all part of their scare tactic to get us to give up our UDI and convert to points but it does worry me a bit. Do you know anything about this?

Name withheld. Unquote

Bruce:hysterical: Also your flase claim about fine print and a lot of information. The Special assessment part is in regular size print and yes I have more usfull info in my ads were space permitts and I have not seen another CMV for sale ad that even mentions the Special assessment.
