Vonresort Abant

The Resort and Its Setting

Vonresort Abant is a timeshare property in Bolu, a province tucked into the hills between Istanbul and Ankara, close to Turkey's Black Sea region. It operates as an independent resort with RCI affiliation, meaning it isn't part of a global hotel brand but runs its own ownership and management structure while still plugging owners into RCI's exchange system. The surrounding landscape is mountainous and green, a contrast to Turkey's better-known coastal resorts, and the resort is positioned to suit travellers who want a quieter, nature-focused base.

The Area and Things to Do

Bolu province is built around lakes, forest, and fresh mountain air rather than beaches and nightlife. Abant Lake, about 10 km from the resort, is the area's signature attraction — a calm alpine lake popular for walking its shoreline and taking in the scenery. Further out, Yedigöller National Park (roughly 35 km away) offers hiking trails through dense woodland around its seven small lakes, a good day trip for anyone keen on the outdoors. Bolu City Centre, about 40 km from the resort, has the region's markets, restaurants, and everyday Turkish city life for those who want a change of pace from the mountains. Spring and autumn tend to bring the most comfortable weather for exploring all three.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Vonresort Abant can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As with all listings on the platform, this is an owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you through the site, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post. This keeps more of the proceeds with the owner compared with traditional resale channels.

Because Vonresort Abant is independent, any resale here is processed through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer network. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers what week or points allocation you hold and confirm your RCI membership status, since that affiliation is a genuine selling point for buyers interested in exchanging rather than always staying in Bolu. If you're buying, ask the seller or the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee before agreeing a price — these figures aren't published by BidMyTimeshare.com and can change, so get them confirmed in writing as part of your due diligence. Also ask what exactly transfers with the week: whether RCI points or exchange credits carry over, and whether any association dues are outstanding.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for a fixed-week stay in a specific season without taking on ownership costs — owners renting out a year they won't use can list the available dates the same way, through a direct listing rather than a managed rental programme.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Bolu's mountain setting means getting to the resort usually involves a transfer or rental car rather than relying on public transport, so factor that into travel planning if you're renting a week. Spring and autumn offer the most reliable weather for sightseeing around Abant Lake and Yedigöller, while winter brings snow that suits a different kind of trip. Anyone exchanging through RCI should confirm availability and travel dates with RCI well ahead of time, since that process runs separately from the resale or rental listing itself.
