Bluegreen Vacations Laurel Crest

The resort and its setting

Laurel Crest is a family-oriented resort at 2628 Laurel Crest Ln in Pigeon Forge, part of Sevier County in eastern Tennessee. Guests consistently mention the rustic-style interiors, with some rooms offering scenic mountain views, and the resort holds a solid 4.3 out of 5 rating across 2,478 Google reviews. On site there are two pools and a sauna, which fits the resort's positioning as a comfortable base for families rather than a high-end luxury property. It's run as a lodging operation under the Hilton Vacation Club umbrella, though it began life as a Bluegreen Vacations property, which is still the name many owners and resale listings use.

The area and things to do

Pigeon Forge is one of the best-known resort towns in the Smokies, sitting just a few minutes from Gatlinburg and within easy reach of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town itself is built around family entertainment — go-kart tracks, mini golf, dinner shows and outlet shopping line the main parkway, while Dollywood, the area's biggest draw, is a short drive away. Visitors who want quieter time can head straight into the national park for hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife viewing, or take in the mountain views along the Gatlinburg Bypass and surrounding scenic drives. It's a destination that works well for multi-generational family trips, with plenty to fill a week whether the weather suits hiking or is better suited to indoor attractions.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Laurel Crest and are considering a change, reselling through BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward, owner-to-owner process: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth confirming your resort's transfer and resale terms directly with Bluegreen/Hilton Vacation Club or the owners' association, since these details (transfer fee, any right of first refusal, and processing timeframes) will affect how quickly a sale can close and what the buyer ultimately pays to take over the account. A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and obligations tied to the week — including future maintenance fees — but does not receive any loyalty points, perks or developer-purchase benefits that may have come with buying directly from the brand. It's worth being upfront about this with buyers so there are no surprises after the transfer completes.

If you'd rather rent out your week than sell it, renters at Laurel Crest are generally looking for straightforward family-friendly amenities — the pools and sauna, proximity to Pigeon Forge's attractions, and reasonable access to Dollywood and the national park — rather than resort luxury, so pricing and marketing a rental week should play to those practical strengths.

Practical notes

Owners here can exchange their week through RCI or Interval International, which is worth mentioning to buyers who already belong to one of those networks or who want the flexibility to trade their week for stays elsewhere. Anyone buying resale should confirm current annual maintenance fees and any outstanding assessments directly with the resort or management company before agreeing on a price, since these figures change year to year and aren't something a private seller can guarantee.
