  • Orange Lake Country Club

    Just in case you mighta missed these comments elsewhere, here's an objective view of this fabled and much-ballyhooed place:

    Orange Lake weeks have little to no value in this market. Over the past few years, values have deteriorated and currently there are many weeks being offered for free. I've liquidated several weeks through my brokerage, but unfortunately it is getting much harder to even give them away and I've had several of the smaller villas that didn't sell for even $1. A real shame because it is a wonderful resort- but I think the extreme sales pressure they have been exerting on current owners to push the Holiday Inn points conversion has really frustrated a large number of owners. Combine that with the economy, and you get a market flooded with Orange Lake weeks.

          Our week still seems fine

          We still have no problem trading the week we own at Orange Lake. I guess it is because ours usually falls the same week as 4th of July so hasn't been a problem thru RCI. We do go there every few years and still enjoy the place ourselves.

            Yeah, keep it and use it seems to be the best thing.

              One could say that about a lot of the timeshare resorts, not just Orange Lake, in today's market conditions.

                Yes. Some of the original promise (You can use, rent it, or sell it) no longer stands.

                The quote was about OL, and hit me as the higher you fly to farther you fall.

                Y'all know there's a bit of history here.

                  Thanksgiving could be another chance for Orange Lake - with lost of families to surely find places to visit.

                    Yeah, it's so big, families do get lost.
