The Resort & Setting

The Olive Tree Hotel is an independent timeshare property in Branson, Missouri, affiliated with RCI. That combination is common in the US timeshare market, giving owners the personal, small-scale feel of an independently run resort plus the option to trade their week through RCI's exchange network rather than always staying put. There's no big-name hotel brand behind it — the resort stands on its own, with RCI as the link to the wider exchange network.

Branson: The Area and Things to Do

Branson has built its reputation on live entertainment, and the resort sits close to that action. The Branson Strip (Theater District) is about 1.2 miles away, home to the area's concentration of live shows and music venues. Branson Landing, roughly 2 miles away, adds shopping, restaurants and waterfront entertainment to the mix. Families often head out to Silver Dollar City, an 1880s-themed amusement park around 2.5 miles from the resort, while Table Rock Lake, some 3 miles away, covers the outdoor side of things — boating, fishing and generally getting out on the water. It's the kind of area where a week's stay rarely runs short of things to fill the days.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Olive Tree Hotel and are considering selling it — or renting it out for a season — the process on BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner resale: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. No commission is taken on the sale; sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because The Olive Tree Hotel is an independent resort rather than part of a large branded chain, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate head office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for two things: the current transfer fee for changing the deed or membership into the new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. A resale buyer typically receives the ownership interest and the right to use (and exchange, given the RCI affiliation) the unit going forward — but not any back dues, outstanding resort credits, or promotional perks tied to the original purchase, so it's worth both parties confirming exactly what's included before the transfer completes.

Renters, for their part, are usually looking for clear dates, an honest description of the unit and its view or location within the resort, and confirmation of what's included in the rental price (cleaning, resort fees, etc.). Being upfront about these details in a listing tends to attract more serious enquiries.

Practical Notes

Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, owners who'd rather travel elsewhere than use their week in Branson can deposit it into RCI's exchange program and request a stay at another affiliated resort. RCI exchanges generally work best when requests are made well ahead of the travel dates, particularly for popular weeks or peak Branson season around the summer theatre schedule. Spring and fall tend to offer calmer crowds and more flexible availability, both for direct use and for exchange requests through RCI.
