Telemark Pointe Red Apple Club

The Resort & Setting

Telemark Pointe Red Apple Club is an independently run timeshare property in Cable, a small Northwoods town in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Because it's independent rather than part of a major branded chain, the resort keeps its own identity and management, while its RCI affiliation gives owners access to RCI's worldwide exchange network if they want to trade their week for a stay elsewhere. That combination — local character plus global exchange reach — is really the core appeal for anyone who already owns here or is thinking about buying in.

The Cable Area & Things to Do

Cable sits in classic Northwoods country: dense forest, countless lakes, and a slower pace than you'd find at a big-city resort destination. Lake Namakagon, about 3 miles away, is the local go-to for fishing, boating and swimming. Skiers and snowboarders head to Telemark Resort & Ski Area, just 3 miles out, while the Cable Natural History Museum (just over a mile away) is a good rainy-day stop for anyone curious about the region's wildlife and geology. For a bigger day out, Bayfield is roughly 15 miles away — a lakeside town on Lake Superior known for galleries, restaurants and historic architecture, and the jumping-off point for boat tours to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, about 20 miles from Cable, with its 22 islands, lighthouses and hiking trails. The area genuinely changes character with the seasons: summer water sports, autumn foliage, winter snowmobiling and skiing, and spring fishing all draw different crowds.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to part with your week, or just want to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your own price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the ad live. You stay in control of the asking price and the conversation throughout.

Because Telemark Pointe Red Apple Club is independently operated, resale transfers aren't handled by a big branded transfer department — they go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm two things directly with the resort: the transfer fee that applies to move the deed or contract into the buyer's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since this is passed on to whoever owns the week going forward. Ask also whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on resale transactions, and how long a transfer typically takes to process — this varies by property, so it's best to get it in writing from the resort itself.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the week or points being sold, along with RCI exchange eligibility if the account is in good standing — but not necessarily any developer perks, promotional credits, or loyalty benefits that may have applied only to the original purchase. It's worth spelling this out clearly in your listing so buyers know exactly what they're getting.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters booking a week at Telemark Pointe Red Apple Club are usually drawn by the same things owners value: proximity to Lake Namakagon and the Apostle Islands, easy access to Telemark Ski Area in winter, and the general quiet of a Northwoods stay away from crowded resort strips. Being specific in a rental listing about the season, unit size, and nearby activities helps renters picture their trip and book with confidence.

Practical Notes

Cable is reached via Highway 63 from Superior or Ashland, and weather can shift quickly regardless of season, so it's a good idea to pack layers. ATMs are limited in town, and cell coverage can be patchy in more remote spots, so downloading maps in advance is sensible for anyone heading out to the lakes or trails.
