Heron Point at Invermere On the Lake

The Resort and Its Setting

Heron Point at Invermere On the Lake sits at 701-14A Crescent, right on Lake Windermere, within walking distance of downtown Invermere. It's an independent property rather than part of a branded resort chain, keeping its own character while carrying an RCI affiliation — so owners can use their week on-site or trade it through the RCI exchange network. Reviewers give it 4.6 out of 5 based on a small sample of 14 reviews, which is worth keeping in mind as a modest but solidly positive track record rather than a large-scale one.

Invermere and the Columbia Valley

Invermere has built a reputation as a year-round mountain base rather than a single-season resort town. Lake Windermere itself is the draw in summer — boating, paddleboarding, fishing and simple beach time — while winter visitors head to regional ski hills. The town centre, about 2 km from the resort, has the galleries, farmers markets and restaurants that give Invermere its community feel outside the usual resort bubble. Further afield, Radium Hot Springs (around 27 km) makes an easy half-day trip, Kootenay National Park (about 35 km) is close enough for a day of hiking or a scenic drive, and Banff National Park, roughly 80 km away, is within reach for travellers who want to combine a Columbia Valley stay with the Rockies' best-known park.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Heron Point at Invermere On the Lake and are considering a resale or a rental, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, rather than handing over a percentage at closing.

Because Heron Point is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a large branded developer's transfer department. Instead, it typically runs through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who handle the paperwork on transfer of title. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management:

- the current transfer or resale fee charged to move the week into a new owner's name - the current annual maintenance fee, and whether it's paid in full for the year - how long the transfer process typically takes to complete - whether RCI exchange history or deposited weeks carry over to the new owner, or whether the buyer needs to re-register with RCI themselves

None of these figures are published by the resort in the materials available to us, so treat them as questions to put to the resort or association rather than numbers to assume.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Renters searching for a week at a lakefront BC resort are usually weighing proximity to the water, access to Invermere's town centre, and whether the unit suits a family or a couple. Buyers tend to ask the same questions as above — transfer costs, annual fees, and whether the RCI affiliation is active and transferable — before making an offer. Being upfront about unit size, view, and the week or season you own helps both renters and buyers assess the listing quickly.

Practical Notes for Visitors

Invermere is roughly a 3.5-hour drive from Calgary International Airport, so most visitors arrive by car, which also makes it straightforward to explore Radium, Kootenay National Park and the wider Columbia Valley during a stay. Mountain weather is changeable in every season, so packing layers is sensible whether you're visiting for summer hiking or a winter ski trip. Shoulder season, from May to June or September to October, tends to bring quieter conditions and more comfortable weather for those who prefer to avoid peak summer and holiday crowds.
