[Only asking for maintenance fees, and any transfer costs]
We have owned this deeded timeshare free and clear for twenty years, and have gotten plenty of use out of it, mostly trading it for travel, both all around the US and abroad. As a Red week (Week 1) in a Gold Crown Resort, the trading power for each week has netted us multiple vacations, which has been nice.
We get both units once every three years, to use and/or trade; and the maintenance fees are only $869 every three years, so less than $300 per year total.
It has been nice to have three years to use whatever vacations (and bonus weeks) we get from trading in, each time. But, we're at a point in our life where we just travel where we want, when we want; and we just bought a house on 20 acres not far away. So we don't really need the timeshare, anymore. Would rather give it to someone than let the resort take it back and sell it at a premium.
The deed is for a 2 bed, 2 bath lock off (Sleeps 8), Deeded Week 01 (two connected units every third year usage 23, 26, 29 etc…). Maintenance fees are split between three years, which is nice to avoid the larger lump sum payments; and this upcoming year’s third of the maintenance fees were 289.67.
This is a very inexpensive way to get started with RCI weeks, without the pressure an every-year unit can sometimes bring. It has strong trading power, and the fact that it can be traded in as one or two units has given us a ton of flexibility. And while it has certainly resulted in visiting a number of places we otherwise likely wouldn't have, especially when we were younger (Beaver Creek/Vail, Cozumel, and several others), our ability to travel, often on short notice, has exceeded the need for planning and trading weeks. The resort has repeatedly offered to convert us to points; so that is likely an option, should you choose. But we have had good luck trading weeks, so have never chosen to convert to points, ourselves.
Buyer will be responsible for both closing costs (~$200 I believe) and any resort transfer costs. The other cost to buyer will be for RCI, if you choose to trade your week(s) in for vacations elsewhere. The RCI Membership is optional, but you do get bonus weeks for additional reservations at several resorts including Grandview Las Vegas etc.
As this is a deeded week, you do not need to pay RCI to book your own week at your own unit(s).
Especially now that they have dog-friendly units available, we have actually been planning on using it this coming year (in a few weeks), but as we are still moving into the new house, we’re up in the air about whether to use our week with friends, rent one or both halves, or just sell it. So, if someone wants to cover the 869 maintenance fees for this three-year stint, plus any transaction costs incurred by the deed transfer, you can start enjoying your new timeshare on January 1st.
Bonus:
Massanutten also has a referral program where you get paid $100 each time you give friends a 2-3 day vacation at the resort (they also get $100, and they must attend the timeshare presentation, of course). So, three of these referrals per year can actually earn you more than your maintenance fees. You can even give the cards they send you every year to strangers, and might randomly end up with a hundred bucks if someone takes the offer.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking!
