Per the owner: The decision to buy a timeshare at Grand Timber Lodge was the culmination of years of visiting this beautiful mountain town. Our Grand Timber Lodge experience started with a winter visit. Stepping into the grand timber-framed lobby, with its massive stone fireplace and the scent of pine and cinnamon in the air, was like walking into a cozy dream. Our son was immediately drawn to the indoor-outdoor aquatics center, a wonderland of heated pools and steaming hot tubs where snowflakes melted on his eyelashes. For us, the lodge offered a promise of effortless comfort. It was the seamless blend of rustic mountain charm and modern, luxurious convenience that first captured our hearts.
But what truly sold us was the vision of a life beyond the ski season. The timeshare was an anchor for a lifetime of memories. Summertime sun-drenched days spent hiking through fields of wildflowers, the majestic Tenmile Range serving as a backdrop. We imagined returning to our unit, a cozy residence with a full gourmet kitchen and a private balcony overlooking the lush forest, perfect for grilling and sharing stories. Summer days filled with mountain biking, exploring the historic, colorful Victorian storefronts of Main Street, and evenings gathered around one of the resort's outdoor fire pits, gazing up at a sky so full of stars it looked like a handful of spilled diamonds.
The timeshare isn't just a property; it was a pre-paid pass to a recurring dream. It was the guarantee that, year after year, we would have a place to call our own in the heart of the Rockies—a place where the stresses of daily life would melt away like the winter snow, replaced by the simple, enduring joy of Breckenridge.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
