Resorts with 1 - 5 Units

A Small-Scale Base in the Allgäu

This is an independent timeshare property with only 1 to 5 units, located at Malas 8-16 in Oberstaufen, a mountain town in Bavaria's Allgäu region. Because of its size, it doesn't operate like a large resort chain with a full range of amenities — it's best thought of as a small, privately run timeshare arrangement with an RCI affiliation that opens the door to exchanges. If you own here, your week is tied to a genuinely intimate property rather than a sprawling complex, which is part of the appeal for owners who prefer a quieter, more personal arrangement.

Oberstaufen and the Surrounding Area

Oberstaufen is a well-established year-round destination in southwestern Bavaria, known for its Alpine setting, spa traditions and access to the Allgäu's hiking and skiing terrain. The town centre, with its shops, restaurants and typical Bavarian character, is within easy reach. From Oberstaufen, the Hochgrat offers hiking and panoramic cable-car views, the Allgäu Outlet Center near Leutkirch is a short drive away for shopping, and Lake Constance (Bodensee) is reachable for a day trip with its lakeside towns and water activities. Munich sits around 150 km away, so most visitors arrive by car after flying into Munich Airport.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at this resort and want to sell or rent it out, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare as a private, owner-to-owner resale or rental — there's no third party setting your price, and you pay a one-time listing fee rather than a commission on the sale. You decide the asking price, respond to buyer or renter enquiries through the platform, and handle the transfer directly with the person you've agreed terms with.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded chain with a central resale desk, any transfer of ownership typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale programme. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published centrally and can change from year to year. A resale buyer should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — the usage rights and RCI affiliation status in particular — and what, if anything, does not carry over (such as any loyalty perks tied to the original purchase).

If RCI affiliation is active on the unit, that's a real selling point worth highlighting in your listing, since it gives a prospective buyer exchange access to RCI's network of affiliated resorts rather than just a fixed week in Oberstaufen.

What Renters and Buyers Tend to Look For

Renters interested in a week here are typically drawn to the Alpine setting and the chance to base themselves in a genuine Bavarian mountain town rather than a typical resort — easy walking distance to the town centre matters, as does proximity to hiking and ski terrain. Buyers evaluating a resale will want clarity on the unit size, which specific week or season is included, the current annual fee, and whether RCI exchange rights are confirmed and active. Being upfront about all of this in your listing saves time for everyone.

Practical Notes for Owners and Guests

Oberstaufen's high season runs roughly December to February for snow sports and June to September for hiking and outdoor activities, so listings and rental enquiries tend to pick up ahead of those windows. A car is genuinely useful for getting around the wider Allgäu region, even though Oberstaufen itself is walkable and connected by local public transport.
