River Village II - Shawnee

The Resort and Its Setting

River Village II - Shawnee is a privately run, independent timeshare resort with RCI affiliation, set in Shawnee-On-Delaware, Pennsylvania. Being independent means it isn't part of a large hotel-chain timeshare brand — it's managed on its own terms, which owners often find translates into a more personal, community feel than you get at a large corporate resort. The RCI tie-in gives owners access to RCI's exchange network, so a week here isn't limited to just this one location.

The Pocono Mountains and What's Nearby

Shawnee-On-Delaware sits in one of the Northeast's classic four-season getaway regions. The Delaware River runs close by, offering kayaking, fishing and scenic drives, and much of the surrounding land falls within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with hiking trails, picnic spots and river overlooks. Shawnee Mountain Ski Area is a short drive away for winter sports, while the wider Pocono Mountains region is known for its mix of outdoor activity, mountain scenery and family-friendly attractions — the kind of place that draws visitors for hiking and water sports in summer, leaf-peeping in autumn, and skiing in winter. Being within easy reach of both the New York and Philadelphia metro areas via major highways also makes it a practical weekend or holiday base for a wide range of travellers.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at River Village II - Shawnee and are considering selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and because this is a straight owner-to-owner sale, we don't take a cut of the sale price — 0% commission.

Because River Village II - Shawnee is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a big-brand resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should confirm directly with the association or management what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee currently stands at, since these figures aren't standardised across independent resorts and can change from year to year. A buyer should also ask explicitly what does and doesn't transfer with the week, including whether RCI affiliation carries over to a new owner — exchange network membership and any banked points or credits are usually tied to specific transfer rules set by the resort, not guaranteed automatically.

If you'd rather rent out a week instead of selling, renters at a resort like this are generally looking for straightforward things: proximity to the Delaware River and the Water Gap trails, easy access to Shawnee Mountain in ski season, and a quieter, more personal alternative to the big chain resorts in the Poconos. Being upfront about the unit size, the season, and what's included (and what isn't, such as exchange privileges) helps set the right expectations for a renter booking directly from an owner.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying a resale week here should allow time for the transfer process — confirm with the resort's management how long a transfer typically takes so it can be scheduled around the holiday you're planning to use. It's also worth checking whether RCI membership needs to be re-registered under the new owner's name, since exchange deposits are usually governed by RCI's own terms and conditions rather than by the resale transaction itself.
