The Summit Vacation Resort Tree Top Villas

The Resort and Its Setting

Tree Top Villas is a timeshare resort operating on a deeded-week ownership model: owners buy a specific interest in a unit and return to use it (or trade it) year after year. It's an independent resort rather than part of a major hotel brand, with RCI affiliation giving owners access to the wider exchange network. That combination — deeded week plus RCI — is fairly typical of established Texas timeshare properties and tends to appeal to owners who want a fixed, predictable vacation cost rather than booking hotels each year.

New Braunfels and the Hill Country

New Braunfels sits in the Texas Hill Country, built around the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers, and the whole area revolves around river life — tubing, kayaking, and swimming are the main draw for most of the year, with the Comal being the calmer, family-friendly option and the Guadalupe offering a bit more current for paddlers. Schlitterbahn Water Park is a short drive away and is the obvious choice for a full day out with kids. Further afield, Natural Bridge Caverns gives visitors an underground alternative on a hot afternoon, and the wider Hill Country is dotted with small towns worth a scenic drive. It's a destination that works well both as a week-long base and as a stop on a longer Texas road trip.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Tree Top Villas and are considering selling or renting it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get the week in front of genuine buyers, rather than handing a percentage to a broker.

Because Tree Top Villas is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers exactly what the transfer process involves and what it costs. If you're buying a resale week, ask the seller (or the resort directly) two things before agreeing on a price: the current transfer fee, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures vary by resort and can change year to year, so don't assume they'll match what you've seen quoted elsewhere.

A resale buyer typically receives the deeded interest and the ability to use (or exchange, where RCI affiliation applies) the week going forward — but not necessarily any points, credits, or promotional perks the original owner may have accumulated, so it's worth clarifying what is and isn't included before closing.

Practical Notes for Renters and Buyers

Renters looking at a week here are usually after river access and a fixed base for a Hill Country trip, so proximity to the Comal and Guadalupe is the main selling point to highlight in a listing. Spring and fall tend to offer the best balance of good weather and lighter crowds at the rivers, with summer being the busiest and most booked-up season — something sellers should factor into how far ahead they advertise a week, and something renters should bear in mind if they want river-side activities without the peak-season queues.
