North Star Vacation Club

The Resort and Its Setting

North Star Vacation Club is a small, independently run timeshare resort in Killington, Vermont, within the Green Mountains and Rutland County. It operates under an RCI affiliation rather than belonging to one of the big branded vacation club chains, which makes for a simpler, more low-key form of ownership than you'd find at a major resort group. Google reviewers currently rate it 3.7 out of 5 from 16 reviews — worth reading through before you buy, sell, or book a stay, since independent resorts can vary more in finish and service than branded ones.

Killington and the Surrounding Area

Killington needs little introduction to anyone who skis the Northeast: it's Vermont's largest ski area, built around Killington Peak, with trails, lifts, and terrain that draw crowds from December through March. But the area works year-round. Summer and early autumn bring hiking, mountain biking, and scenic chairlift rides, while September and October turn the Green Mountains into some of New England's best leaf-peeping country. Killington Village, a short walk from most lodging in the area, has the restaurants, bars, and shops you'd expect from a ski town. Further afield, Woodstock's covered bridges and Quechee Gorge make easy day trips for anyone staying a few nights.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at North Star Vacation Club and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the ad live, and that's it.

Because North Star Vacation Club is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and can change, so get them in writing rather than relying on what the previous owner paid. Also confirm whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as some independents do; if so, factor that into your timeline, since it can add time before a sale is final.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted week itself, along with whatever RCI exchange privileges come attached to that ownership, since North Star Vacation Club is RCI-affiliated. What a resale buyer typically does not inherit is any loyalty status, promotional credits, or developer-era perks tied to the original purchase — those generally stay with the original owner and aren't transferable.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching for a week at North Star Vacation Club are usually after straightforward access to Killington for a ski trip or a fall foliage getaway, without taking on ownership themselves. Be upfront in your listing about the season, unit size, and proximity to the mountain and village — those are the details that get a rental booked.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Maintenance fees, transfer fees, and any right-of-first-refusal terms should always be confirmed directly with North Star Vacation Club's management before you commit to buying or selling — figures and policies at independent resorts can change without much public notice, so get everything in writing.
