- Q: Must I use all my allotted time at once or in a minimum increment?
A: The first 56 days of the total 84 days are reserved on a Quarterly Priority Reservation basis and must be reserved in seven day increments ( two 7 day reservation in each quarter of the 5 upcoming quarters). Priorities rotate on a quarterly basis. After the “Priority Reservations” are set for the upcoming 5 quarters, each Owner's remaining 28 days are considered “Space Available” and can be reserved by the day, weekend or any other combination, as long as the space is not already reserved.
This system allows all Owners to be able to lock in definite 7-day periods, in advance, for planning purposes, and also pick from approximately 150 days each year to be spontaneous for a weekend or even an overnight stay or to match additional days to their Priority Reservation for longer stays (up to a maximum of 21 days at one time).
- Q: May I invite guests to stay during my allocated time in the home?
A: Yes. Having your family and friends with you during your stay, or even allowing them to use the homes on their own, is an important attribute of this fractional ownership. Therefore, Owners are encouraged to invite guests, whether accompanied or unaccompanied, to use and enjoy the homes and make the best use of it.
- Q: Are Owners allowed to have pets in the home?
A: Owners are allowed to have dogs (no cats or other pets).
- Q: May I rent out my allocated time in the home?
A: Yes. As Owners, you may choose to rent, trade, exchange or invite as you see fit. Each owner takes full responsibility for their invited guests, exchange guests and renters.
- Q: How are the monthly, quarterly and annual costs determined and billed?
A: Budgets will be established for all operating costs associated with managing the home, and for administering the scheduling and other policies ad procedures. The total estimated operating costs are currently estimated to be approximately $10,600 per year, including homeowner's insurance, homeowner association fees, utilities, snow removal, regular maintenance and a management fee. These costs are then divided evenly by the number of Owners, and billed quarterly, which is currently estimated to be approximately $2,660 per Owner.
