Olympia Vacation Owners

The Resort & Its Setting

Olympia Vacation Owners is an independent vacation ownership resort in Oconomowoc, a small city known for its chain of lakes roughly 20 miles (30km) west of Milwaukee. The resort operates on the standard timeshare model: owners hold a week (or points) and use it for their own stays, or trade it elsewhere through the resort's RCI affiliation. Units are typically laid out like a condo rather than a hotel room, with a full kitchen and separate living space, which suits families or groups planning a longer stay rather than a quick overnight.

The Area & Things to Do

Oconomowoc sits right on Oconomowoc Lake, less than a mile from the resort, where boating and fishing are the obvious draw in warmer months. Beyond the lake, the area has a good mix of outdoor and cultural options: Kettle Moraine State Forest (around 12 miles away) has hiking trails and glacially carved scenery worth a full day out, while Holy Hill (about 9 miles away), a landmark basilica and tower, gives sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Milwaukee itself is under half an hour away, with its lakefront parks, museums, and brewery tours. Motorsport fans will also recognise Road America, roughly 22 miles away, which hosts racing events through the season. Winters bring cold-weather recreation, while summer and early autumn are the busiest times to visit, with foliage season drawing its own crowd.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Olympia Vacation Owners and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a single one-time listing fee to publish the ad, and we don't take a cut of the sale — there's no commission on either side. Interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform to work out the details.

Because Olympia Vacation Owners is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published centrally and can change year to year. A buyer taking over your week should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with it — usually the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility tied to the unit — and what doesn't, such as any outstanding fees or developer-specific perks that may not carry over to a resale owner.

If the resort or association has a right of first refusal on resales, factor the time this adds into your sale timeline, and ask management for their typical transfer processing time so you can set buyer expectations accurately.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Buyers and renters alike should check which week or season their unit falls into, since that determines how well it lines up with Wisconsin's peak summer and fall foliage demand versus quieter spring weeks. Anyone planning to use the RCI network to trade their week elsewhere should confirm current RCI membership status and deposit deadlines with the resort, as these are managed by RCI rather than by BidMyTimeshare.com. As with any timeshare purchase, get the annual maintenance fee, any transfer fee, and the resort's rules on guest use or renting in writing before you commit.
