Worldmark Chelan - Lake House

The Resort & Setting

WorldMark Chelan - Lake House is a WorldMark by Wyndham property built around its position on Lake Chelan, one of the deepest and longest lakes in Washington State. Owners here hold their stay as WorldMark vacation credits rather than a fixed deeded week, which is typical of the WorldMark system. The resort is affiliated with RCI, giving owners the option to exchange their stay for other destinations through that network.

The Area and Things to Do

Chelan is a long-standing lake town on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains, popular for its water and its orchards. The lake itself is on the doorstep, with boating, swimming and fishing all within easy reach, and the shoreline views stretch back toward the mountains. Downtown Chelan, a short drive or stroll away, has the town's shops, restaurants and waterfront promenade, along with marina access and small parks worth a wander. Lake Chelan State Park is a short drive out for hiking, picnicking and more lake access, while the wider Cascade range offers hiking, mountain biking and scenic drives for anyone wanting to get further into the hills. Wenatchee, about an hour south, is the nearest larger town if you want more choice for dining, shopping or a change of scene. Summer is the busiest period around the lake, with spring and early autumn offering quieter visits and milder weather.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at WorldMark Chelan - Lake House and are ready to move on, or just want to rent out a year you're not using, BidMyTimeshare.com is set up for exactly that: owners list directly, set their own asking price, and deal with buyers or renters themselves. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week or credits in front of buyers, and that's it.

Before listing, it helps to know how a WorldMark resale actually works. Industry sources point to a transfer fee of $399 when the resale goes through a broker, and the process typically takes around six weeks to complete. No right of first refusal has been reported for WorldMark resales, meaning the resort or developer doesn't hold a right to step in and match a buyer's offer before you sell. One important point for buyers: WorldMark's Club Pass exchange option is only available to credits bought directly from the developer, so it doesn't carry over to a resale purchase. Separately, any VIP or TravelShare status an owner holds is reported to stay with the original owner's family rather than transferring to a new buyer. If RCI affiliation matters to you as a buyer, that exchange network is confirmed for this resort, so it's worth clarifying with the seller or WorldMark directly how your specific credits can be used for exchange once the transfer is complete.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Anyone selling here should be upfront about what does and doesn't transfer — the credits themselves, yes; Club Pass access and VIP-level perks, generally no. Buyers should ask the seller or WorldMark for the current annual fee tied to the credits being sold, as well as written confirmation of the transfer fee at the time of sale, since fee schedules can change. Allow time in your planning for the transfer process to complete before the timeshare is officially in the new owner's name.
