Marriott's MountainSide

The resort and its setting

Marriott's MountainSide is a Marriott Vacation Club property at 1305 Lowell Ave, right in Park City, Utah, within Summit County. It's a ski-in/ski-out property, meaning villa owners can step into their skis just steps from the building and glide straight back to the door after a day on the mountain. Rooms and villas are finished in a clean, contemporary style, there's a heated outdoor pool for après-ski soaking, and the on-site dining is casual rather than formal — a practical setup for families and groups who want to eat and get straight back out on the slopes. With a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 1,665 Google reviews, it's a well-regarded base for both ski weeks and summer stays in the mountains.

Park City and Summit County

Park City is one of the best-known mountain resort towns in the US, built around two major ski areas and a walkable historic Main Street lined with restaurants, galleries and shops. Winter brings skiing and snowboarding practically to the resort's doorstep, while summer shifts the focus to mountain biking, hiking trails through the surrounding hills, and a lively calendar of outdoor events. The town's compact centre, combined with Salt Lake City's international airport roughly 30–40 minutes away by road, makes it an easy mountain base for both UK and US visitors who don't want a long transfer at either end of their trip.

Selling or renting a week here

Listing a week at Marriott's MountainSide on BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner resale or rental: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and you pay a single one-time listing fee with 0% commission on the sale — there's no cut taken out of whatever price you agree.

Before you list, it helps to understand how Marriott Vacation Club handles resale transfers, since these figures shape what a buyer will ultimately pay and receive:

- **Transfer/resale fee:** For points-based ownership, Marriott charges resale buyers $750 per 250 points (minimum $3,000), plus fees — according to Marriott, this also includes a $300 education fee for first-time owners. For US legacy weeks like this one, the fee structure is lighter: a $25 transfer fee plus a $95 right-of-first-refusal fee, as listed by RedWeek. - **Right of first refusal:** Marriott holds a right of first refusal on resales, typically exercised within 15 to 30 days depending on the resort, so any private sale is subject to Marriott either waiving that right or letting the sale proceed. - **Transfer time:** Owners report that the full transfer process typically takes 3–4 months, so it's worth setting buyer and seller expectations accordingly rather than promising a quick handover. - **What a resale buyer does not get:** A resale buyer takes on the week itself, but resale points don't count toward Marriott's Reserve or Pinnacle membership tiers, and resale legacy weeks can't be enrolled in Abound or converted to Marriott Bonvoy points. Flagging this upfront avoids disputes after the sale. - **Exchange access:** This resort is affiliated with Interval International, which is worth mentioning to prospective buyers who are interested in exchanging rather than only using their week at MountainSide.

Because Marriott doesn't publish these fees on an open page — the figures sit behind the owner portal login — many buyers won't know them. Stating them clearly in your listing description builds trust and cuts down on back-and-forth questions.

What renters typically look for

Renters shopping for a week at Marriott's MountainSide are usually drawn by the ski-in/ski-out location itself, so note the season (ski weeks carry different appeal than summer weeks), unit size, and whether the week falls in a peak period for Park City's ski calendar. Mentioning the pool and casual on-site dining in your listing also helps, since these are the amenities guests ask about most.

Practical notes for sellers

Have your week/unit details, maintenance fee amount, and current annual statement ready before listing — buyers will ask for both the resale transfer fee and the current annual fee before agreeing a price, so having these on hand speeds things up. Since Marriott's right of first refusal applies, let buyers know a sale isn't final until that window has passed, and build the 3–4 month transfer window into your timeline.
