Wyndham is closing a handful of legacy resorts - dedicated chart/tracker located in the first post for this unfolding set of events

[afk324]

The materials we got from Shawnee ("River Village Phase IIIB") are very similar. They have a different list of very expensive improvements that need to be made but overall it is the same package.

Both "Meeting Notice" letters say that the required number of members have asked the Board of Directors to initiate this action. Wonder who those members were and how many were required.

I only scanned the first page but that should be enough to show that this is most likely a coordinated effort led by Wyndham. Note that the law firm retained is K&L Gates LLP and a footnote identifies them as having been hired by Travel & Leisure in other matters.

Letter content: The Property governed by the association consists of 25 Buildings ( containing 132 units )and their concomitant common areas at the Shawnee Village Planned Residential Development located #1 Buttermilk Falls Road . Are there a total of 132 units within the River Village 2 complex?

Since Wyndham likely controls a majority of the units at the resorts being discussed in this thread, I am nearly certain it is Wyndham requesting the special meeting.

Are there a total of 132 units within the River Village 2 complex?

Ive been trying to figure that out myself. I'm not even sure which areas are part of this HOA. Plus its hard to tell what constitutes a "building." But looking at the maps I come up with 131 units in what I think in RVIIB which has four areas: Antelope Slope, Ickes Drive, School House, and Rainbow. And like you, I always called it "River Village II" but for some reason it is IIIB. The first part of River Village is down by the golf course.

I have been poking around the Monroe County PA website monroecountypa-dot-gov in the "Property Information" section. Based on that, I think there are five HOAs in Shawnee:

• Ridge Top Village Owners Association
• River Village Owners Association
• River Village IIB HOA
• Depuy House Property Owners Association
• Fairway House Property Owners Association

I have to assume they are all going through the same process and all got letters. Not sure if "Crestview" is part of Ridge Top. It seems like it is owned by Wyndham and was built post-Shawnee

Crestview has it's own HOA. Crestview was built and owned by Wyndham. 6 HOAs.

Also received papers regarding Ridge Top - Crestview which are unclear on what would be the impact of this potential 'bankruptcy filing' to 'owners'. I am also unclear if we bought through Club Wyndham does that mean once they would see we are out of all future obligations to Club Wyndham due to this being our base property?

I am not sure who we are able to contact to explain what is behind the proxy & meeting notification. If anyone has further information it would be appreciated - we will not be able to attend a meeting in person on 10/20 and I don't want to proxy out vote out without understanding the consequences.

So if Crestview was involved does that mean Wyndham is filing bankruptcy for these properties?

 

[afk324]

River Village 2 basically has 6 units built close together or connected. So 132 total units ÷ 6 units /building = 22 total buildings. Maybe 3 other buildings house common areas for all 6 HOAs. Main Recreation Center, Main Pool house, and River Village 2 pool house by the river???

You should probably read through the first post of this thread.

Here's what I have been able to piece together about "River Village Phase IIB" as it is referred to in the proxy/bankruptcy/special meeting materials:

Area	Unit Numbers​	Units​
Rainbow	37-60​	24​
Antelope	61-96​	36​
Ickes	97-132​	36​
School House	133-168​	36​
Total	37-168​	132​

Not all buildings have six units. I have put some of this together using sources like google maps and the county GIS, so it can be hard to tell where one building ends and another begins. Units 1-36 are in the River Village HOA, closer to the golf course; that appears to be separate from River Village Phase IIIB.

No idea how the other parts of Shawnee are broken down; I've spent enough time getting this much info together

 

[shawnee83]

...we will not be able to attend a meeting in person on 10/20 and I don't want to proxy out vote out without understanding the consequences.

The material I got (for River Village Phase IIB) says there will be an option to attend via Zoom, but proxies will not be accepted via Zoom. I did not see any details on the Zoom in the letter I received. Maybe there's more info if you actually register for the meetings (separate from voting proxies).

A family member recently attended a sales presentation at Shawnee. The pressure to buy was high even and the room was on pressure filled. They overheard another owner screaming at the Wyndham salesperson that a FTC investigation against Wyndham was underway. I wonder if this has any merit? I googled it but found nothing related to the latest actions. Only a case about exposing credit card information which was settled.

On page #2 of the White Pages. Statement to attend 10/20 in person or zoom you must be registered. You need use the URL printed to fill out information to be Registered

To vote your Proxy go to the proxy ballot to vote online there is a URL or mail in the ballot.

There's old threads and posts about the number of lawsuits against Wyndham. Iirc someone posted the numbers and at that time I think Wyndham had four hundred and some. Wyndham has considerably more lawsuits filed against them than any other timeshare company but they're also the largest timeshare company.

Wyndham, and likely other timeshare companies too, prefer to settle out of court and get NDAs. Once in awhile cases to make it to court and Wyndham is found guilty. Ya think, lol! However more get dismissed because "they said" and "I was told", isn't enough no matter how many people the attorneys get to attest to being told the lies, and deceptions we all know happen over and over every day. Get it writing is the mantra we preach for a good reason.

Wyndham has been reported to every attorney general, agency, division, group, etc. numerous times. You'd think it would've at least slowed their roll, but it sure doesn't seem like it.

Has Bentley Brook sent out the letters? Is there a meeting to vote scheduled or did it already happen? Someone asked me and I'm not seeing anything on the chart.

We have not received anything as of yet. Still waiting

I have not gotten anything or heard anything yet.

I have not gotten anything or heard anything yet.

I saw a post in one of the Facebook groups that they're in the process of being sent out. They mentioned a meeting date. Maybe the 20th? Don't hold me to that date but it was definitely this month.

If my math is correct that means 40.8% of the units at Star Island are Wyndham units. Since some people do have units in other buildings hopefully you'll all keep us updated about what happens with those soon to be no longer Wyndham units and how this impacts the resort.

You and regatta333 are different situation than the owners in the Wyndham buildings. Not sure if any of the other resorts also have owners in your situation. Hopefully someone in Wyndham will explain to you whether or not you'll still have Wyndham points. My initial thought was you would've made a Fairfield or Wyndham purchase to convert your week so why wouldn't you still have your Wyndham points? However, Wyndham might not see it that way. This is uncharted territory so who knows!

Just closing the loop here.
I asked Star Island's public relations the total number of units at Star Island (all buildings total) and they replied it was 466 (pretty close to the 468 when I recalculated it although I didn't have full info on some buildings). So 184/466 = 39.4% (essentially the 40% calculated in Jan M post with the earlier 451 total units number) of the units are in the Wyndham bankruptcy.

Don't know about Glade but OIRC intends to transfer reserve funds to the general operating fund to take care of the reduced maintenance in 2026.

this is fascinating to me as every hoa/attorney/etc states this is not allowed in any way shape or form. any money allocated to reserves cannot be used as operating funds.

 

[HitchHiker71]

That's the reason for the chapter 11 filing - things like this become feasible during a bankruptcy re-org type filing.

Technically the funds are being reallocated to wind down/ shutdown activities.

 

[TUGBrian]

that would be something that would irk me more than the closing as a member. to have a % of my annual fees each and every year be allocated specifically for infrastructure repairs or other long term maint/upgrades....to instead be used to pay operating costs because the resort is closing.

Alright, so we believe it’s about 20 around the country. So far we have information to believe that it is:

1. Bentley Brook;
2. Patriot’s Place;
3. Unknown Rhode Island Resort;
4. Unknown Rhode Island Resort;
5. Unknown California Resort;
6. Unknown California Resort;

Feel free to quote/edit this and continue adding to it as we get more information in.

Shawnee is one of the Resorts that Wyndham is leaving Dec 31, 2025. HOA Special Meetings happening now.

First off, welcome to TUG!

The exact time and date of the HOA meetings are dependent upon the HOA in scope. We're tracking all of this in the chart in the OP here in this thread. The Ridge Top HOA is voting on 10/20/2025 - which essentially means all of the other HOA votes will be clustered right around that same date - since the Wyndham and legal personnel visiting each resort are only in town for 1-2 days to facilitate the meetings.

And also, note the date of the comment you're responding to - it was July 10, the 39th comment in a thread that has since gone on for 3 months and almost 3,000 comments. We hardly knew anything back then! The most up to date information is, as HitchHiker mentioned, in the first post which is updated regularly as he receives newly confirmed information.

Since the resorts are closing (no future reserve spending for repairs/updates), the endpoint seems the same for owners who hang on until the end of the process.

1) Use the current operating funds plus reserve funds to wind down the resort. Disburse remaining funds following the resort sale.

2) Collect 2026 maintenance fees to wind down the resort. Disburse unused 2026 maintenance fees plus reserve funds following the resort sale.

I am sure most owners would prefer #1 to #2. #1 is especially advantageous for owners who are surrendering their deed outright or taking the CWA swap.
