Christmas Mountain Village

The resort and its setting

Christmas Mountain Village sits on Christmas Mountain Drive on the edge of Wisconsin Dells, in the forested terrain of Sauk County that gives this part of south-central Wisconsin its name as the "Dells" region. As a Bluegreen Vacations property, it's run as a timeshare resort with on-site dining among its facilities, and it carries a solid 4.1-star average from 348 Google reviews — a reasonable signal for anyone weighing up a resale purchase or planning a stay.

The area and things to do

Wisconsin Dells is one of the Midwest's long-running holiday towns, built around the sandstone river gorges that gave the area its name and the string of indoor and outdoor water parks that followed. Visitors come for boat tours along the Wisconsin River, mini-golf and go-kart tracks, outlet shopping, and water park resorts that operate year-round regardless of the Wisconsin weather outside. Christmas Mountain Village's position away from the main strip suits owners who want a quieter base with the option to drive in for the attractions, rather than staying in the thick of the tourist action.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Christmas Mountain Village and it no longer fits your plans, you can list it yourself on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the listing, and there's no commission taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers.

Before you list, it's worth knowing the brand-side mechanics that come with a Bluegreen resale. According to Bluegreen Vacations, a transfer carries a resale fee of around $500, and Bluegreen holds a right of first refusal on resale transactions — meaning the brand can step in and match an accepted offer before it goes through to the buyer. Transfers typically take 30 to 90 days to complete once a deal is agreed, so factor that timeline into any sale discussion with a buyer.

It's also worth being upfront with prospective buyers about what a resale purchase does and doesn't include. Owners who buy resale at a Bluegreen resort can use Bonus Time only at their home resort (in this case, Christmas Mountain Village itself) and don't receive Premier status. The resort does participate in the RCI exchange network, which is worth mentioning to buyers interested in trading their week for stays elsewhere, though resale buyers should check current exchange eligibility directly with Bluegreen before committing.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters searching for a week at Christmas Mountain Village are typically after a Wisconsin Dells base for a family trip — close enough to the water parks and attractions to make day trips easy, with the option of a quieter evening back at the resort. If you're renting out your week rather than selling, be clear in your listing about the unit size, the season or specific dates, and whether any resort amenities (such as the on-site dining) are included, since that's what most renters compare between listings.

For buyers, confirm directly with Bluegreen Vacations or the resort's owner services the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding transfer paperwork before agreeing on a price — these figures aren't always identical across unit types or seasons, so getting them in writing avoids surprises after the sale.
