Timbercreek at Big Valley

The Resort & Its Setting

Timbercreek at Big Valley sits in Sciota, a small Carbon County community in northeastern Pennsylvania. It operates as an independent timeshare resort rather than part of a major hotel brand, and it carries an RCI affiliation, which means owners who hold a week here can also use RCI's exchange system to trade into other affiliated resorts around the world rather than staying at Timbercreek every single year. It's a straightforward vacation ownership setup aimed at people who want predictable, recurring access to the Poconos without the cost of owning a second home outright.

The Area & Things to Do

Sciota's appeal lies in its rural, unhurried character — this is Pocono Mountains territory, known for wooded hills, lakes, and a slower pace than the big East Coast cities a few hours away. The wider Pocono Mountains region, roughly 10 miles out, is the main draw for most visitors: hiking trails, seasonal outdoor activities, and scenery that changes dramatically with the seasons. About 15 miles away, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers more serious hiking, boating, and river views along the Delaware — a solid day-trip option for owners or renters after a bigger outing. Closer to home, the town of Sciota itself offers small-town Pennsylvania charm rather than a resort strip, so this suits travelers after a low-key base more than a packed amenity schedule.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Timbercreek at Big Valley and are considering selling it, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Timbercreek at Big Valley is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale program. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for two things: the current transfer fee for moving the deed or contract into a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since both affect what a buyer actually takes on. If the resort operates any right of first refusal on resales, confirm that too, along with how long transfers typically take to process, so you can set buyer expectations accordingly.

A resale buyer should understand exactly what does and doesn't come with the week: they're typically acquiring the ownership interest and the ability to book at the resort (and to pursue RCI exchanges, subject to RCI's own membership and deposit rules), but not necessarily any resort credits, loyalty perks, or promotional extras the original owner may have received at purchase. Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for straightforward answers — which week or season is available, whether it suits foliage season or summer outdoor plans, and what's included in the unit — so having that detail ready in your listing helps close bookings faster.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Anyone evaluating a week at Timbercreek at Big Valley should confirm current amenities and availability directly with the resort before committing, since specifics can change. If RCI exchange access matters to your plans, check your membership status and deposit deadlines with RCI directly rather than assuming automatic eligibility. Timing-wise, autumn brings the Poconos' well-known foliage, while summer suits warm-weather hiking and outdoor recreation — worth matching to whichever week you're buying, selling, or renting.
