Country Inn, Bhimtal

The Resort & Its Setting

Country Inn Bhimtal is an independently run, RCI-affiliated timeshare property in Bhimtal, a hill station in Uttarakhand known for its lake and cool climate. The resort makes the most of this setting, giving owners and guests a retreat-style base away from the heat and noise of the plains. It suits families and couples who want a mountain getaway with the structure of timeshare ownership rather than a one-off hotel stay.

Being RCI-affiliated means owners here can use their week at Country Inn Bhimtal directly or put it into the RCI exchange system to stay at other RCI resorts, depending on availability and RCI's own rules and blackout dates.

The Area & Things to Do

Bhimtal itself is centred on its lake, a short walk from most parts of the town, with boating and quiet lakeside walks the main draw. A few kilometres further out, Naukuchiatal's nine-cornered lake and Sattal's cluster of seven interconnected lakes are popular for boating, birdwatching, and picnics among the forested hills — both easily reached as half-day trips. Bhimeshwar Temple, close to the resort, is worth a visit for its traditional architecture and quiet setting. For a bigger day out, Nainital, with its own lake, Mall Road, and a wider choice of shops and restaurants, is about 30 km away. The region overall suits travellers who want hiking, lake activities, and a slower pace rather than a packed itinerary.

Selling or Renting Out Your Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Country Inn Bhimtal can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As an owner-to-owner marketplace, we don't set your price or take a cut of the sale — you decide what to ask, interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and you pay only a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of them. There's no commission on the transaction itself.

Because Country Inn Bhimtal is an independent resort rather than part of a large branded chain, resale and transfer here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a head-office transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should contact the resort's management to confirm the current transfer fee, any right-of-first-refusal clause the association may hold, and the annual maintenance fee the buyer will be taking on — these details vary by resort and aren't published centrally, so it's worth getting them in writing before you commit to a sale. A resale buyer should expect to take on the usage week and the ongoing annual fee obligation that comes with it; they should not assume any developer-level perks or promotions that applied to the original purchase, since these generally don't carry over in a private resale.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly looking for a specific week with confirmed dates, a clear idea of unit size and what's included, and straightforward contact with the owner — all of which a direct listing on the marketplace is built to provide.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Bhimtal is roughly five to six hours by road from Delhi, so most visitors arrive by private car or shared transport rather than rail or air. The cooler mountain climate means light jackets are useful even in summer, and the monsoon months bring moderate rainfall worth planning for. RCI members looking to exchange into or out of a week here should check exchange availability and blackout dates with RCI directly, since these sit outside the resort's own booking calendar.
