Find a Happy Ending
in Every Story

I am writing this story on the last day of our week-long vacation at Mountain Retreat. It is a timeshare resort in Calaveras County, not far from Arnold, CA. It is located at a beautiful setting in the woods. If you would like to relax to go for walks, this is the place for you; or you can visit Big Trees Park nearby, or drive to Murphy, a small town with many stores, restaurants and wine tasting. Not far from there you can explore Mercer Caverns. There are many other attractions. If you prefer to play golf, there is a gorgeous golf course – just across the road across from the resort. Or if you’d rather go skiing in the winter, Bear Valley is a short drive away.

Of course, you can explore one of the five lakes, or visit small towns with the rich history of California’s Gold Rush. Now you can see why in May 1985 we bought a timeshare week here. For thirty-nine years, we’ve visited this place with family members and friends. But we also used this high in demand resort to exchange our week to visit many resorts in other parts of the world and the United States. However, we are not the only ones who are getting advanced in age. As a result, other homeowners stopped paying their dues, and the resort ran out of money to keep it going.

The only solution seems to be to convert the resort into condominiums and sell them on the open market. So, where is the happy ending? We are not planning to buy our unit, however $1,300 of yearly dues will be enough to rent our unit for $200 per day whenever we want. Plus, we might net with a few thousands of dollars after the sale. Meanwhile, we are considering to come back to rent for the weekend on October 19th. You are invited to experience this very special place as well. Hope to see you there. Meanwhile, you can see three images of natural beauty in beautiful local lakes.
