Wind in the Pines II

About Wind in the Pines II

Wind in the Pines II is an independent timeshare resort in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, operating outside the big branded systems but affiliated with RCI for exchange purposes. That combination is common among smaller New England resorts: owners get the straightforward, community-style management of an independent property, plus the option to deposit their week with RCI and trade into other destinations when they want a change from the Berkshires.

The Area and Things to Do

Great Barrington sits in southwestern Massachusetts, in the Berkshire hills, and is known for a walkable downtown, farm-to-table restaurants, and a steady calendar of cultural events. Owners here are within easy reach of Tanglewood Music Center, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and one of the best-known outdoor concert venues in the country, and the Norman Rockwell Museum, which holds the largest collection of the artist's original work. For time outdoors, Monument Mountain offers a popular half-day hike with views over the Housatonic Valley, while Bash Bish Falls, the state's largest waterfall, is a worthwhile longer trip. Downtown Great Barrington itself, just a few minutes from the resort, has shops, galleries, and restaurants all within easy walking distance of one another. The Berkshires have a genuine four-season character — busy with concerts and festivals in summer, popular for foliage in autumn, quiet in winter, and good value in spring — which matters when deciding what week to buy, sell, or rent.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Wind in the Pines II and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and no commission is taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuinely interested buyers.

Because Wind in the Pines II is an independent resort, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort or its management directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee for the unit and week in question, since these figures aren't standardised across independent resorts and can change from year to year. Ask, too, whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and get the current status of the specific week and unit in writing before you close.

If the week carries RCI affiliation, that detail is typically something a resale buyer inherits along with the deed or right-to-use, assuming the account is in good standing — but buyers should always confirm enrolment and any RCI membership fees separately from the resort's own transfer process, as these are billed and renewed independently.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Renters coming to Wind in the Pines II are generally drawn by the Berkshires calendar — Tanglewood season, fall foliage weeks, or a quiet winter break — so availability tightens well ahead of those peak dates. Anyone renting or buying a week should ask current owners or resort management directly about unit size, view, and which week of the year is attached to the contract, since none of this is standardised across independent resorts. Confirm RCI deposit deadlines in advance if you're planning to exchange rather than use the week on-site.

Why Consider Wind in the Pines II

For owners who value the Berkshires and want a fixed, recurring reason to return — with the flexibility of trading through RCI in other years — Wind in the Pines II offers a straightforward, no-frills entry point into vacation ownership in a well-established New England destination.
