WorldMark Bison Ranch

About WorldMark Bison Ranch

WorldMark Bison Ranch is a WorldMark by Wyndham timeshare property in the small community of Bison Ranch, just outside Overgaard, Arizona. Google's own summary calls it "down-to-earth condos in a relaxed hotel" — an accurate description of a resort built for unhurried mountain-country breaks rather than high-energy entertainment. On-site, guests have access to a pool, an arcade, a recreation centre and a catch-and-release fishing pond, giving the property a casual, family-friendly feel.

The area and things to do

Overgaard sits in Arizona's high country, at an elevation that brings cooler summers and genuine pine-forest scenery — a contrast to the saguaro-and-sand image most people have of the state. It's a popular base for hiking, fishing and simply slowing down. From the resort, Holbrook is the nearest town of any size, roughly 53 miles away, and makes a good stop for Route 66 nostalgia and classic Western heritage. Further afield, within a few hours' drive, are some of Arizona's best-known landscapes: the Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park and the Grand Canyon itself. None of these are a quick trip from Overgaard, so plan on full-day outings rather than casual afternoon drives.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at WorldMark Bison Ranch and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or for rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As an owner-to-owner marketplace, we charge sellers a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission — you set your own asking price, and buyers contact you through the platform to work out the details.

Before listing, it helps to understand how a WorldMark resale actually transfers. According to WorldMark by Wyndham resale brokers, transfers currently carry a $399 fee, and the process typically takes around six weeks to complete once a sale is agreed. No right of first refusal has been reported for this resort, meaning the resort or developer does not have a documented right to step in and match a buyer's offer.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what does and doesn't carry over. WorldMark's Club Pass exchange privileges apply only to developer-purchased vacation credits, so a resale buyer may not have access to Club Pass in the same way the original owner did. Similarly, VIP status and TravelShare benefits are reported to stay within the original owning family and are not transferable to a resale buyer. Being clear about these points up front avoids misunderstandings later and tends to make for a smoother sale.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically drawn to Bison Ranch for its quiet pace, the pond, and easy access to pine-country hiking and fishing rather than resort nightlife — worth highlighting if you're listing a week for rent.

Practical notes

WorldMark Bison Ranch is affiliated with RCI, so current WorldMark members can use their points here or exchange through the RCI network for stays elsewhere. Anyone buying a resale week should confirm current annual maintenance fees and any outstanding dues directly with WorldMark before finalising a purchase, since these can change from year to year.

Overgaard's high-desert climate means spring and autumn generally offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring the area, while summers stay milder than lowland Arizona and winters can bring occasional snow. A car is essential here — distances to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and other attractions are substantial, and cell coverage can be patchy in the surrounding forest areas.
