Club Wyndham Timber Creek

The resort and its setting

Club Wyndham Timber Creek is a lakeside timeshare resort at 4800 U.S. Hwy 67 in De Soto, Missouri, in Jefferson County. Google's own editorial summary describes it as a lakeside resort with a golf course, playground, outdoor pool, movie theatre and arcade — amenities aimed squarely at families and golfers who want to settle into one spot for a week rather than move between hotels. With a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 637 Google reviews, it has a strong reputation among the owners and guests who've actually stayed there.

The resort operates under the Club Wyndham brand, so owners benefit from the brand's established management and reservation systems, and from access to the RCI exchange network if they'd rather trade their week for a stay elsewhere than use it at Timber Creek itself.

The area and things to do

De Soto is a small Missouri town in the Ozark foothills, roughly an hour from St Louis by car, giving the resort a quieter, more rural feel than a big-city timeshare. The on-site golf course and lake are the main draws for many owners, and the pool, playground, movie theatre and arcade mean there's enough to keep a family occupied without leaving the grounds. Beyond the resort, the surrounding Jefferson County countryside is popular for its parks, rivers and outdoor recreation, and St Louis itself is within reach for a day trip if owners want a change of pace mid-week.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Club Wyndham Timber Creek and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to post your week.

Before you list, it's worth knowing how a Club Wyndham ownership change actually works. According to Club Wyndham, every transfer of ownership is subject to a $399 ownership change processing fee, which covers moving the deed or points contract into the new owner's name. Club Wyndham does not publish a standard timeframe for how long this takes, so it's sensible to flag this to a buyer upfront and build it into your timeline for closing a sale.

It's also important that buyers understand what they will and won't get with a resale week. Club Wyndham is explicit that resale points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion or PlusPartners — these perks are reserved for points bought directly from the developer. A resale buyer still gets full use of the week itself and RCI exchange access, but not the extra loyalty-tier benefits. Being upfront about this avoids disputes after the sale.

Some Club Wyndham Access contracts, mainly those dated from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, meaning Wyndham could in theory step in and match an offer before it goes to the buyer. Owners who've been through the process report this is rarely exercised, but it's worth checking your own contract so there are no surprises mid-sale.

Practical notes

Renters tend to ask the same handful of questions: which week or season is on offer, what's included in the unit (bedrooms, kitchen, views), and what the annual maintenance fee covers for an owner who might later want to sell to them. Have your contract and any fee statements on hand when you list, since buyers and renters researching a week here will want to see them before committing.
