R e s o R t B u z z !

Steamboat Springs, Colorado is an absolute dream vacation for a mountain getaway. Winter snows usher in world-class skiing conditions, and the Steamboat ski facilities are excellent. Summer is also a beautiful season in this area with a multitude of relaxing warm-weather activities for vacationers to enjoy.

Legacy Vacation Club has two resorts that are centrally located to the slopes and downtown Steamboat… literally just minutes away! Both resorts were renovated in line with our commitment to providing quality accommodations. Hilltop received a complete interior and exterior renovation, and the Suites followed suit with improvements that will enhance your vacation experience. Visit the Steamboat Springs destination section of www.legacyvacationclub.com for more information about this all-seasons vacation destination.

gondola square Take a ride to the top of the gondola and enjoy a day of skiing, lunch at one of the restaurants… or a Bloody Mary at The stoker (famed to be the best in town!).

a Vacation year in legacy Points

*Point values based on season of travel and availability.

Legacy Points provides owners greater vacation options and flexibility at a value that makes sense for the modern family. For one annual fee each year, Legacy Points owners can vacation within their network, venture out to virtually unlimited vacation options through the RCI Points system, or take multiple vacations utilizing the best of both worlds!*

As the icing on the cake, many owners who have upgraded to Legacy Points have experienced a significant decrease in the amount of annual fees they pay each year; rolling several interval weeks into the club not only gives owners greater vacation planning power, but it also replaces multiple annual fees with a single fee each year. It’s a win-win-win in vacation value.

what are Owners saying about legacy Points?

ronda Bell Orlando Timeshare Owner Since 1995

We interviewed Ronda Bell, an Orlando owner since 1995 who decided to roll her vacation ownership into Legacy Points. Ronda wasn’t alone in this decision; she had the support of her mother and four sisters!

The sisters are all leaders in the non-profit Sisters 4 Sisters Network, Inc., an organization committed to helping women succeed through the power of networking. Finding time to vacation together was no easy task, but Ronda and her family put everything aside in their busy lives to take an Orlando vacation.

After seeing the positive changes that had taken place at Legacy Vacation Club Orlando, the ladies decided to look into the Legacy Points system as a family. Ronda said that she needed more flexibility than the traditional timeshare week afforded her – Legacy Points gave Ronda the choices that will allow her to take vacations with her family each year.

In Ronda’s words, the decision was “all about family, and so important.” When asked what vacations the sisters were most excited about taking, each had an enthusiastic response: the Caribbean, Colorado, Paris and Hawaii. They look forward to many more rewarding vacations with Legacy Points.

Ladies, Legacy Vacation Club is thrilled to have your family included in our family. We look forward to helping you build your legacy of cherished vacation memories.

“all about

family“
