David Walley's Resort

The resort and its setting

David Walley's Resort sits at 2001 Foothill Rd in Genoa, Nevada — a small, historic town in Douglas County at the base of the Sierra Nevada. It's an all-suite, casual mountain-set property under the Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand, with Google reviewers (4.1/5 from 989 reviews) consistently calling out the outdoor pool filled with natural hot spring water as the standout feature, alongside on-site dining and a bar. It's a lodging-type resort rather than a sprawling resort-town complex — think suite accommodation geared towards longer stays rather than a big-box hotel.

Genoa and the Carson Valley

Genoa is Nevada's oldest permanent settlement, a one-street town steeped in history, with wooden boardwalks, a small museum, and a laid-back pace that suits a soak-in-the-hot-spring kind of trip. The wider Carson Valley sits between Lake Tahoe and the high desert, so you get mountain scenery, vineyards and ranch land within a short drive, plus easy access to Tahoe's south shore for skiing in winter or the lake itself in summer. Carson City, the state capital, is a quick drive north, and Reno is reachable for anyone wanting a bigger city day out.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at David Walley's Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's owner-to-owner: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's a one-time listing fee with 0% commission — no cut taken from your sale.

Before you list, it's worth knowing how resale works with this brand. Holiday Inn Club Vacations does not publish a resale transfer fee — the $1,200 figure sometimes mentioned on the company's Horizons page is an exit fee for leaving the system through Holiday Inn Club itself, not a transfer fee for a private resale. Owners report that the company holds a right of first refusal, meaning Holiday Inn Club Vacations can step in and match a sale before it completes. Typical transfer time isn't published, so leave some flexibility in your timeline when agreeing a sale.

One more thing buyers should understand: if you own points rather than a fixed week, owners report that resold points generally revert to a deeded week at the time of sale — except at three resorts (South Beach, Lake Geneva and Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain), where points can transfer as points. If David Walley's Resort isn't one of those three, a resale buyer here should expect to receive a fixed week rather than flexible points. David Walley's Resort also sits within the RCI exchange network, which is worth noting for a prospective buyer who wants to trade their week elsewhere.

What renters and buyers tend to look for

Renters booking a week at David Walley's Resort are usually drawn by the hot spring pool and the Genoa setting rather than nightlife or big resort facilities — so be upfront in your listing about suite size, season, and proximity to Tahoe and Carson Valley activities. Buyers researching resale will want to know whether you hold a deeded week or points, the current annual maintenance fee, and confirmation of what transfers with the sale.

Practical notes for sellers

Keep your maintenance fee statement and any correspondence about your contract type (deeded week vs. points) on hand, since buyers will ask. Because Holiday Inn Club Vacations can exercise a right of first refusal, be realistic that a sale may take longer to finalise than a straightforward private transaction — factor this into any timeline you give a buyer.
