Canyon Rim Resort at Eagle Crest

The Resort & Its Setting

Canyon Rim Resort at Eagle Crest is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare property in Redmond, Oregon — a high-desert town known for its big skies, canyon rimrock, and easy access to Central Oregon's outdoor circuit. The resort's location puts owners within a short drive of Smith Rock State Park's climbing routes and trails, as well as the forested trailheads and lakes of the Deschutes National Forest. Because it's RCI-affiliated, owners aren't limited to using their week on-site; they can also tap into RCI's exchange network to stay at other member resorts.

The Area & Things to Do

Redmond functions as a practical hub for exploring Central Oregon rather than a destination in its own right, which suits owners who want a quiet base with everything else a short drive away. Smith Rock State Park (about 22 miles away) draws climbers and hikers with its canyon views, while the Deschutes National Forest (roughly 15 miles away) offers hiking, fishing and camping across a much larger stretch of pine forest. Further out, Newberry National Volcanic Monument (about 30 miles away) rewards the trip with its lava tubes and obsidian flows, and Crater Lake National Park (around 90 miles away) makes for a longer day trip if you're after Oregon's best-known natural landmark. Downtown Redmond itself, just 6 miles from the resort, covers the basics — restaurants, shops, and everyday errands.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Canyon Rim Resort at Eagle Crest is independently operated, so resale and transfer go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national brand office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee comes to for the specific unit and week being sold — these figures vary by unit type and aren't published centrally, so get them in writing. Ask, too, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent resorts do; if so, factor the review period into your expected timeline.

On BidMyTimeshare.com, you list your week as a private resale: you set your own asking price, write up what's included (week number, unit size, any RCI exchange history), and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale itself — what you agree with the buyer is what you keep, minus whatever transfer fee the resort charges to process the change of ownership.

For renters, the appeal of this resort is straightforward: a fixed-location base in Redmond, with the possibility that the owner has used RCI exchange in the past, plus proximity to Smith Rock and the national forest for an active outdoor week. Renters should ask the owner directly for unit specifics, as these aren't standardised across every week at an independent property.

Practical Notes

Redmond Regional Airport serves the area directly, which is useful for owners flying in for their week or for exchange guests arriving via RCI. Buyers taking on a resale should always confirm the transfer process timeline and any outstanding fees with the resort's management before completing the purchase, since these details sit with the property, not with the marketplace.
