The Greens I at Bella Vista Village Resort

The Resort & Setting

The Greens I at Bella Vista Village Resort is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in the community of Bella Vista in northwest Arkansas. It's a straightforward vacation ownership resort built around weeks or points that owners can use themselves, pass on to family and friends, or trade through the RCI exchange network. Unlike large branded resorts, independent properties like this one tend to have a smaller owner base and a management style that's closely tied to the local community.

The Area and Things to Do

Bella Vista sits in the Ozark Mountains, a region known for rolling wooded hills, spring-fed creeks, and a strong outdoor recreation culture. The resort is close to the Bella Vista Trail System, a network of hiking and biking paths that wind through the town, and within easy reach of Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, a serious draw for mountain bikers of all levels. Ritter Springs Park offers a quieter option for a picnic or a walk by natural springs. Further afield, Bentonville offers two very different attractions within range: War Eagle Cavern, a guided cave tour through underground rock formations, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, known for its collection and grounds. Together they make the area a good match for travellers who want a mix of outdoor activity and a bit of culture without big-city crowds or prices.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week or points at The Greens I at Bella Vista Village Resort and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it as a private, owner-to-owner resale: you set your own asking price, interested buyers contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live. The same applies if you'd rather rent out a week you're not using; renters here are typically looking for a trail-friendly base in the Ozarks rather than resort-style amenities, so be upfront about what the unit offers and what's nearby.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a large branded transfer system. Instead, it goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the association what the transfer fee will be, whether there's a right of first refusal on the sale, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — none of these figures are standardised across independent resorts, so getting them in writing from management avoids surprises later. A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted usage rights that go with the week or points being sold; they should not assume any resort-specific perks, prior owner discounts, or loyalty benefits carry over unless the association confirms it in writing.

Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, ask the association whether that affiliation transfers automatically to a new owner or whether the buyer needs to re-enrol with RCI directly — this varies by resort and is worth confirming before closing.

Practical Notes

Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) bring the most comfortable weather for hiking and biking in Bella Vista, and are the months most owners and renters target first — booking ahead for those windows is worth it. Summers can be warm and humid, which suits pool or indoor activities better than long trail days. Bella Vista has everyday grocery stores and casual dining options nearby, so self-catering for part of a stay is easy. If you're planning to use RCI to exchange your week, contact RCI directly ahead of your preferred travel dates, since exchange availability depends on what other owners have deposited into the system.
