Patriots Inn

The Resort and Its Setting

Patriots Inn is a privately run, independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, offering casual apartment accommodation rather than a branded resort experience. Google reviewers (4.3 out of 5 from 371 reviews) describe it as an informal, hotel-style property with a seasonal outdoor pool, hot tub and on-site gym. It sits on Richmond Road in Williamsburg, Virginia, one of the main approach routes into the historic district, which makes it a practical rather than a resort-destination property: straightforward, no-frills, and built around easy access to nearby attractions rather than extensive on-site facilities.

Williamsburg and the Historic Triangle

Williamsburg anchors Virginia's Historic Triangle, a region of the state where colonial and Revolutionary War history is preserved across several sites within a short drive of one another. Colonial Williamsburg, the country's largest living-history museum, is about 1 mile (1.6km) away, with costumed interpreters and restored 18th-century buildings spread across a 301-acre historic area. The Governor's Palace, a restored colonial mansion with period gardens, is roughly 0.75 miles (1.2km) from the resort. Families travelling with children also have Busch Gardens Williamsburg (around 2 miles/3.2km) and the Water Country USA water park (about 3 miles/4.8km) within easy reach, while history enthusiasts can extend their visit to the Yorktown Victory Center, about 10 miles (16km) away, to take in the story of the Revolution's decisive siege.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Patriots Inn can list it for resale or rent on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to publish your ad, and keep 100% of the sale or rental proceeds — there's no commission — with interested buyers and renters contacting you directly through the platform.

Because Patriots Inn is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national timeshare brand. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether any right of first refusal applies, how long the transfer process usually takes, and what the current annual maintenance fee is set at. A resale buyer should also clarify in writing exactly what transfers with the week — usage rights, RCI exchange affiliation status, and any accumulated points or banked weeks — since these details vary and aren't guaranteed to carry over automatically.

If your ownership includes RCI affiliation, that's worth highlighting in your listing, since it allows the eventual buyer to trade their week for stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts, widening the property's appeal beyond Williamsburg-only visitors.

What Renters and Buyers Typically Look For

Renters researching Patriots Inn tend to ask about proximity to Colonial Williamsburg and the theme parks, the type of unit (studio vs one- or two-bedroom apartment), and whether the pool and gym are usable in their travel season, since the outdoor pool operates seasonally. Buyers considering a resale purchase will usually want the same details, plus the annual maintenance fee, the week or points allocation, and confirmation of RCI exchange eligibility before making an offer.

Practical Notes

Richmond Road places the resort within driving distance of all the major Historic Triangle sites, though a car is useful for reaching Busch Gardens, Water Country USA and Yorktown comfortably. As with any independent timeshare resale, get fee and transfer details in writing from the resort or its management company before completing a sale, so both seller and buyer know exactly what is changing hands.
