ANyone know of any log cabin/wilderness type Time shares in the Southeast? - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

drnathan747 · April 27, 2006, 07:01 PM

I've noticed some timeshares with log cabins posted on ebay. One is Glacier Wilderness Resort in Montana, another is Rangeley Lake Resort in Maine. I like those type of settings (log cabin, wilderness), does anyone know of something similar in the Southeast that would be nice? I live in South Carolina. Thanks. Nathan

Shenandoah Crossing in Gordonsville, VA and Presidential Resort in Spotsylvania, VA are two resorts where we have stayed in cabins. Both are with RCI, not sure if they are with II as well or not.

If you want to stay at Shenandoah Crossing, you can find an owner here: Bluegreen Forum and post a request for a direct exchange or rental request.

This sunterra resort has about 6 Beautiful cabins. Tough to get but these are better than the great cabins at Rams Horn in Estes Park Co.

not log cabins, but nice rustic cabins in a beautiful setting--callled petite crest and somethying else in marbleton, ga, not too far from SC and an easy trade thru RCI--they also rent thru wesite. We stayed there 1 summer, very fun. WE also own at Presidential in VA--also very fun--real log cabin. But setting at Big Canoe is "posher" b/c it also has $1 million vacation homes for rich folks from Atlanta. Very nice beach/lake area, too.

There is one in extreme Western NC - Fontana Village - which is 65 miles from Knoxville by very crooked roads. It is an RCI exchange. I have not stayed there but have driven through. It is very secluded and probably rustic. Read the reviews closely as they vary greatly. It is on the edge of the Smokey Mt Park.

I suspect Fontana Village is very rustic. We drove through there a couple of years ago and I'm not sure I'd book there without checking out the rooms first.

I think this is the same place I stayed as a kid, and I turn 50 this year.

It's in a very beautiful area, though. Not a lot of excitement around unless you ride motorcycles. It's in the area of the "Dragon's Tail" which is apparently famous for cyclists who like to go fast around the curves. Most every time we go through there, someone has wrecked one. Often the injuries are fatal. It scares me just watching them.

The interiors of Fontana's cabins are nice. Just make sure you are getting a single cabin(they do Have duplexes). Tell them you need an"Owners Cabin".

Would Early April...such as Easter week be warm enough to swim at Shenandoah Crossing in Gordonsville? or would a summer vacation be the best bet...even though alittle humid and hot?
Besides Monticello and the onsite activities, which seem very numerous are there other historic sites or things to do here? I have a 12 yr old boy and 15 yr old girl.
thanks

Shenandoah Crossing is pretty close to Massanutten. Easter is too cool for swimming outside. Try to get late June/early July instead. Not as muggy yet but warm enough to do a lot outside. They should have an indoor pool there, though.

Enjoy!
