MI Exchanges

Has anyone had an exchange to a Michigan Timeshare during the summer months? If so, what exchange company did you use and was it a Studio, One or Two Bedroom unit. Looking to try to get something in 2010 since my daughter, son-in-law and grandsons have relocated to Detroit.

I booked an exchange into a 2BR at Harbor Cove (RCI ID 0107) for a late August week in 2010. This was through RCI, but the resort is very small so I wouldn't expect to be able to do it again.

I've exchanged into Vacation Club in Bellaire for mid-July a few years ago (RCI). Recently we've used mostly last minute getaways through the Government Employee website (Vacation Club, Pinestead Reef, Harbor Cove) that is operated by RCI.

I once got a last-minute trade through RCI in mid-summer to a 1-bdrm at Mountain Run at Boyne, which is a nice resort run by Bluegreen. However, Michigan trades in summer are very, very difficult, so there is no guarantee of being able to do it again.

I'd suggest renting instead. If you wanted the particular resort I got, you could ask BocaBum if he could rent you a unit there.
