• More about our rooms: “Just like at home (with a little office)” – Not only do most of our rooms have either full Kitchens or Kitchenettes, we also feature upgraded televisions, and many feature in-room washers and driers and plenty of closet space to make your stay like a home away from home!  But we realize that everyone always needs a bit of the office, so most rooms feature a desk with complimentary internet access.  Our rooms are so comfortable and productive, your guests will rave about how well they slept and how much they were able to get done! 

• Locations, Locations, Locations
  We’re not yet everywhere – but our current locations are unique and appealing with something for everyone. 
  • Along the West Coast, you can go from a boat in the harbor of San Diego, CA (Harbor Vacation Club) to the slopes of Whistler, British Columbia (Mountainside Lodge Resort), with stops by the park in Anaheim (Peacock Suites Resort), the urban delights of San Francisco (The Donatello, The Inn at the Opera & The Suites at Fisherman’s Wharf) and the bucolic vineyards of Napa (Vino Bello Resort) in between. 
  • If you fancy the Southwest, take in the style of San Antonio, Texas (Salado Creek Villas), the sun of Phoenix (Legacy Golf Resort), Scottsdale (Orange Tree Golf Resort) or Tucson (Starr Pass Golf Resort) in Arizona or the excitement that is Las Vegas, Nevada.
  • If you’re feeling more tropical, how about a stop of one of our 5 Hawaiian Resorts, from the relaxation of the Waikiki Marina Resort to a nap on the beach along the Kona Coast Resort.
  • Don’t forget the delights of some of our rural getaways, like the back country of the Crotched Mountain Resort in Francestown, New Hampshire, just cozy up along the lake at Little Sweden in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, or the enjoy the splendor of Barrie, Ontario and the Carriage Ridge Resort.  These are perfect spots for that unique family retreat or getaway.  

• And even more about our rooms: Unique Features - From the giant jetted tubs in Scottsdale and Phoenix, to the dry saunas in Whistler, to the hot tubs off your deck in New Hampshire – many of our rooms feature that something special that other places haven’t thought about.

  • Our locations feature their own natural activities, like our Golf Resorts featuring … you guessed it Golf!  But what about cable car rides in San Francisco?  Boogie boarding on the Kauai shore?  Zip Trekking in Whistler?  Wine Tasting or Ballooning in Napa?  Or how about a stroll along the river walk in San Antonio?  So many fun things to do, you’ll want to stay an extra night!
