Liftside Village at Hunter Mountain Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Liftside Village at Hunter Mountain Resort is an independent timeshare property in Hunter, New York, affiliated with RCI. It's built around its location rather than a long list of on-site extras — the draw is being close to Hunter Mountain itself, with easy access to skiing and snowboarding in winter and hiking and mountain biking once the snow clears. Owners buy into a fixed week (or points, depending on the contract) that gives them a recurring claim on accommodation here, with the RCI affiliation adding the option to trade that week for a stay elsewhere.

The Catskills and Things to Do

Hunter sits in Greene County, in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, a region that's long been a favourite weekend escape for New Yorkers and other Northeasterners thanks to its easy driving distance. Hunter Mountain is right on the doorstep, running lift-served skiing and riding through winter and switching to scenic chairlift rides and mountain biking once the season turns. Hunter Village, a short walk from the resort, has the shops, restaurants and small galleries that make for an easy evening out without needing a car. For a bigger day out, Kaaterskill Falls — one of the tallest waterfalls in New York State — is a popular hike a short drive away, and the wider Catskill range offers scenic drives and trails for every fitness level, year-round.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Liftside Village and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the property's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort or its management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and vary by contract, so get them in writing before you commit. A buyer taking over your week should confirm exactly what transfers: the usage week (or points allocation), RCI affiliation status, and any banked or carried-over credits, versus what stays with the seller, such as prior rental income or outstanding fees owed before the transfer date.

Renters searching for a week here are generally looking for proximity to the mountain, flexible dates around ski season or summer weekends, and a straightforward point of contact — all things a clear, direct listing on the marketplace can cover without extra agency layers.

RCI Exchange Network

As an RCI-affiliated resort, owners here can deposit their week with RCI and exchange it for a stay at another RCI resort, subject to RCI's own rules and availability. This is worth factoring into a sale listing — buyers interested in flexibility beyond the Catskills will want to know the week is RCI-eligible, and sellers should confirm their account's exchange status is current before listing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

The resort's two-season identity — winter sports crowd, summer hiking crowd — means demand for weeks here tends to track the calendar closely. Fixed winter weeks (especially around peak ski weekends) and summer weeks both have their own appeal, so it helps to specify your week's exact dates clearly in any listing. A car is generally needed to explore beyond Hunter Village and reach spots like Kaaterskill Falls, which is also useful information for prospective renters planning their stay.
