Re: location of Summit vs Summit Hillside? (by Bruce D.):

Keep in mind that if you own a Summit timeshare you may only reserve in the Summit condos. Honestly, there really not much difference between the Summit & Woodstone (luxury) condos - both are approx. 1,200 sq.ft. The Woodstone deluxe condos are slightly bigger - but again, you cannot reserve a Woodstone unit unless you specifically own a Woodstone timeshare.

Location in the Summit condos depend on what you prefer in activity. If you want to be within a short walk (5 minutes) to the Mountain Peak Pool, Conference Center, go-cart track, mini-golf & skate park - then you may want to consider staying in the "Peak Drive" Summit condos (units#78-105). If you want to overlook the ski slopes then you could reserve in the Grenoble Woods Summit condos (unit# 106-190). Personally, I do not care for the location OR the amount of stairs in the Innsbruck/Sunrise Summit condos (unit#191-245).

Other tips - if you plan to go to the Waterpark often during your stay it would probably be wise ($$) to purchase the resort activity cards for each child ($59/child). The card offers significant savings off of the water park admission, mini-golf, skate park and kids camps. For the adults, weigh out your activities prior to buying the $99 activity card - typically it pays off if you golf & go to the waterpark often (but parents/grandparents only pay a $10 observation fee for entry - unless you want full use of the facility).

As an owner, the sales staff will try to rope you into the "owners" breakfast - $100 Massanutten Money in exchange for your attendance. Yes, it's a sales pitch - trying to get you to either upgrade OR buy another BUT if your quick to the chase and tell them that you purchased your deed on resale @ wholesale pricing they'll leave you alone fairly quick - give you your Massanutten Money - and you'll be on your way within the 90 minutes that they quote.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for all the info. It is very helpful!
