Crafts Inn West Main St.

The Resort and Its Setting

Crafts Inn West Main St. occupies a turn-of-the-20th-century inn building in downtown Wilmington, with relaxed rooms, in-unit kitchens, free Wi-Fi and an on-site day spa. It's an independent timeshare property — not part of a large resort chain — but it carries dual exchange affiliation with both RCI and Interval International, so owners aren't limited to this one location when planning a trip. Google reviewers rate it 4.2 out of 5 from 145 reviews, a solid showing for a smaller, historic inn-style property rather than a large resort complex.

Wilmington and the Surrounding Area

Wilmington is a classic southern Vermont village, and the resort's Main Street address puts you within walking distance of local galleries, antique shops and craft boutiques. The town has long been a stop for travellers heading toward the ski country of the Green Mountains, and it keeps its own identity year-round rather than shutting down outside ski season. Mount Snow is about 15 miles away for skiing, snowboarding and summer mountain biking; the West River, roughly a mile out, offers fishing, kayaking and riverside walking paths; and Haystack Mountain, around 5 miles from the inn, has hiking trails with views over the Green Mountains. Autumn foliage and winter snow sports are the big draws, but spring and summer bring hiking, water activities and local festivals.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own a week at Crafts Inn West Main St. and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than handing over a commission on the sale. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of the transaction.

Because this is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee so both sides know the real cost of ownership going forward — these figures aren't published by BidMyTimeshare.com and can change, so get them in writing from the resort directly. Also confirm what the buyer actually receives: typically the deeded or right-to-use week itself and the RCI and/or Interval International affiliation tied to the unit, but not necessarily any prior owner's points, bookings already made, or loyalty-style perks, which usually don't transfer. Ask about processing time for the transfer as well, since independent resorts vary in how quickly paperwork clears.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters drawn to Wilmington are usually after a walkable village base — easy access to Main Street shops and restaurants without needing a car for everything — plus proximity to Mount Snow in winter or hiking and river activities in warmer months. In-unit kitchens matter to renters planning longer stays or travelling as a family, and the on-site spa is a bonus feature worth highlighting in a listing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Vermont's mountain weather shifts quickly, so if you're renting out your week, it's worth telling guests to pack layers regardless of season. A car is genuinely useful for reaching Mount Snow, Haystack Mountain and the scenic byways beyond downtown Wilmington, even though the town centre itself is walkable. If you plan to use RCI or Interval International for an exchange rather than staying at the resort, build in time to request your preferred dates, since popular exchange windows fill up well ahead of peak foliage and ski weeks.
