QUESTION: What are some of the primary advantages of ownership in a Private Residence Club like Dancing Bear Aspen?

ANSWER: Ownership at Dancing Bear Aspen provides a unique opportunity to own a private residence in downtown Aspen at a fraction of the cost of traditional whole ownership. Dancing Bear Aspen eliminates the hassles associated with owning a second home and replaces those hassles with all of the services and amenities of a fine boutique hotel. At Dancing Bear Aspen, you can enjoy all the privacy you may prefer, while also being a part of a fun and vibrant club of like-minded owners. Owners have a dedicated staff that knows each member's individual preferences to ensure each vacation is flawlessly organized. Owners have countless on-site and around town amenities at their fingertips, and just outside their front door are all the wonderful things that Aspen has to offer.

QUESTION: As an Owner, how often may I use my Dancing Bear Aspen home?

ANSWER: Dancing Bear Aspen allows owners to confirm vacation weeks months in advance while also maintaining the flexibility to visit on the spur of the moment. Owners are ensured six weeks of vacation time each year. Once Owners have had the opportunity to book two planned vacation weeks for the upcoming season (both winter and summer); the club then opens to Owners for booking an additional vacation week on a space-available basis. The third option for usage is on a short-notice basis within thirty (30) days of arrival. Subject only to the reservation procedures, there is no limit to the number of times you can vacation at the Dancing Bear Aspen each year, and there is no additional cost.

QUESTION: Will I always stay in the same residence?

ANSWER: Owners have equal access to all nineteen residences. Each residence is on the corner with expansive views of the surrounding valley. The spacious floor plans are luxuriously furnished with gourmet kitchens, extravagant appointments, washer and dryer and impeccable detailing. Of course, Owners may request a specific residence too.

QUESTION: Does ownership at Dancing Bear Aspen mean I own an interest in real estate?

ANSWER: Yes. Owners will own a deeded 1/8th interest of a specific unit. With the flexible usage structure, Owners have access to all nineteen residences and may not always stay in the residence they own.

QUESTION: Can I use more than one residence at a time?

ANSWER: Owners may enjoy bringing additional family and friends on their vacations to Aspen. If so, Owners can request the use of two or more residences at the same time. The owner's reservation system is designed to provide for this type of flexibility in usage. This is just one more advantage to ownership at Dancing Bear Aspen.

QUESTION: What happens if I cannot use one of my planned vacation weeks?

ANSWER: Owner usage will always fluctuate from year to year, and you have a number of flexible options beyond simply canceling one set of vacation dates and booking another. You can send your friends and family to enjoy your club as unaccompanied guests. Or, perhaps you may choose to deposit your vacation week into the Timbers Reciprocity Program and explore the other destinations within the Timbers Resorts portfolio of boutique resorts and residence clubs.

QUESTION: What other expenses will I incur as an Owner at Dancing Bear Aspen?

ANSWER: Aside from your annual Homeowners Association Dues, you are only responsible for the nominal cost of housekeeping when in residence.
