Wyndham Shawnee Village - Crestview

The Resort and Its Setting

Wyndham Shawnee Village - Crestview is part of the Club Wyndham portfolio, located in East Stroudsburg at the foot of the Pocono Mountains. It's set up as a vacation ownership property, with owners holding points or weeks that can be used for stays at the resort itself or, through the RCI exchange network, put toward trips to other participating resorts. The Crestview building is one of several at the broader Shawnee Village complex in this part of the Poconos.

The Area and Things to Do

East Stroudsburg sits right at the edge of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, roughly 10 miles away, which covers a long stretch of the Delaware River with hiking trails, swimming spots and river activities. The Pocono Mountains themselves start just a few miles from the resort and are a year-round draw — skiing and snow sports in winter, hiking and watersports in the warmer months. Closer still is the Great Pocono Environmental Education Center, good for nature walks and family-friendly programmes, and East Stroudsburg's own town centre has everyday dining and shopping within easy reach. Autumn brings the leaf-peeping crowds, so anyone renting a week for fall foliage season should expect the area to be busy.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week or points at Wyndham Shawnee Village - Crestview and are thinking about selling it, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly 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.

Before listing, it's worth knowing what Club Wyndham's own paperwork involves. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from seller to buyer carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, which covers the administrative side of recording the new owner. Some Club Wyndham Access contracts — generally those dated from around 2017 onward — carry a right of first refusal, though owners who have been through the process report it's rarely exercised in practice; it's worth checking your specific contract rather than assuming either way. Wyndham does not publish a standard timeframe for how long a transfer takes, so sellers and buyers should build in some flexibility around closing dates.

Buyers should also be clear on what resale ownership does and doesn't include. Wyndham draws a line between resale and developer-purchased points: points acquired through resale do not carry VIP benefits, Club Pass access, the ability to convert to Wyndham Rewards, or PlusPartners perks. None of that affects your ability to book and stay at the resort or exchange through RCI — it simply means the extra loyalty-programme features tied to buying direct from the developer don't carry over to a resale purchase.

Practical Notes

Anyone renting out a week here should think about what Pocono visitors are actually looking for: proximity to the Delaware Water Gap and ski areas, a base for a family or couples trip, and flexibility around peak fall and winter dates. Owners listing a week for rental or sale should be upfront about which season and unit type they hold, since demand and suitability shift quite a bit between leaf-peeping season, ski season and summer. For renters planning a visit, note that mountain weather can affect road conditions, and cell coverage can be patchy in some parts of the Poconos, so it's worth downloading offline maps ahead of arrival.
