Holiday Inn Club Vacations Hill Country Resort

The resort and its setting

Holiday Inn Club Vacations Hill Country Resort sits at 17545 FM306 in Canyon Lake, deep in Comal County's rolling Hill Country landscape. Google reviewers rate it 4 out of 5 from nearly 3,800 reviews, and the official description calls it a relaxed resort with an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, a snack bar, a picnic area and a playground — the kind of low-key, family-friendly setup that suits owners who want a straightforward week away rather than a resort packed with extras. It's classed as lodging, and while it carries the Holiday Inn Club Vacations name, it also forms part of the wider timeshare exchange world, with verified affiliations to both RCI and Interval International, so owners who aren't travelling to Canyon Lake that year can look at trading their week through either network.

The area and things to do

Canyon Lake itself is the big local draw — a reservoir on the Guadalupe River known for boating, fishing, swimming and lakeside picnics, and a popular put-in point for Hill Country river trips. The surrounding Comal County countryside is classic Texas Hill Country: limestone hills, cypress-lined rivers and small-town charm, within easy reach of New Braunfels and its tubing and water park scene, with San Antonio a little further afield. It's a region that suits multi-generational trips well, matching the resort's playground and picnic facilities, and it also works for couples or retirees who simply want lake views and quieter days.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Hill Country Resort and have decided it no longer fits your travel plans, you can list it for sale or rent privately through BidMyTimeshare.com rather than going through a broker. You set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for this resort directly, and interested parties contact you through the platform — there's a one-time listing fee to post, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale or rental itself.

Because this is an owner-to-owner resale, it's worth being upfront with buyers about what does and doesn't transfer with the week. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or trust interest in the week itself, along with the obligation to pay ongoing annual fees, but they do not automatically inherit any loyalty points, elite status or promotional perks tied to your personal Holiday Inn Club Vacations account — those generally stay with the original owner. Transfers at this resort are handled through Holiday Inn Club Vacations' own resale and transfer process rather than an outside broker, so before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm the current transfer fee directly with Holiday Inn Club Vacations, as well as the annual maintenance fee due on the week, since these figures can change and aren't something we invent or guess at on a listing page. It's also sensible to ask whether the resort or homeowners' association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and to factor in that transfers typically take several weeks to process once paperwork and payment are submitted — build that lead time into any sale.

Practical notes for renters and buyers

Renters booking a stay rather than buying outright are usually looking for confirmed dates, the unit size and view they need, and clarity on what's included — pool access, parking, any resort fees payable on arrival. Buyers, meanwhile, tend to focus on the maintenance fee, the exchange affiliation (useful if they want the flexibility to trade into other RCI or Interval International resorts in future years), and the practical transfer steps outlined above. Being clear on the finer details — unit size, week number or season, whether it's fixed or floating — helps both sides move faster from enquiry to a confirmed deal.
