The first step in understanding the reservation process is knowing the types of vacation weeks available. Ownership at the Grand Lodge on Peak 7 offers several vacation week options, each with its own reservation rules.
Fixed Vacation Weeks
If you own a Fixed Vacation Week, you can stay at the Grand Lodge during the same specified week each year. Your designated unit and check-in day are outlined in your deed. This straightforward option is ideal for those who enjoy vacationing annually during the same season with minimal planning required.
Floating Vacation Weeks
Floating Vacation Weeks provide added flexibility by allowing owners to choose their vacation within a designated season. Seasons at the Grand Lodge are divided as follows:
- Winter Plus: Weeks 1–15 and 47–50
- Winter: Weeks 1–6, 14, 15, and 47–50
- Summer: Weeks 21–39
- Spring / Fall: Weeks 16–20 and 40–46
To reserve a Floating Vacation Week, owners can book a stay up to 365 days in advance, subject to availability. Reservations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Biennial Vacation Weeks
Biennial Vacation Weeks allow owners to vacation every other year. These weeks are labeled as either “Even” or “Odd,” dictating whether usage will occur in even—or odd-numbered calendar years. Biennial owners are still responsible for paying half of their annual assessments and an annual administrative fee.

Confirmation and Final Unit Assignment
Once you book your reservation, the resort confirms it in writing, specifying your unit type. Final unit assignments are made at the time of check-in, as certain factors, such as maintenance or last-minute emergencies, may necessitate adjustments.
Splitting Vacation Weeks
Owners of larger units, such as two—or three-bedroom spaces, have the option to “split” their weeks into multiple stays. For instance, a three-bedroom unit owner can reserve separate one-bedroom and suite units for different vacation periods, subject to availability. This option provides added flexibility for maximizing usage throughout the year.
Rescheduling and Cancellations
Changing Reservations
If you need to reschedule your reservation, you can submit a request to the resort before your planned check-in date. Remember that any unused time will be forfeited if the reservation cannot be used during the same calendar year.
Cancellations
To avoid losing your scheduled time, notify the resort if you must cancel a reservation. Rescheduling or cancellation fees may apply, so make these changes as early as possible. is important
Once you are within 14 days of your arrival, your reservation is final, and the resort cannot refund, cancel, or modify your reservation.
Rules for Usage and Ownership
Good Standing Requirement
Only owners in good standing with the Grand Lodge Owners Association are eligible to make reservations. This status requires full payment of all assessments, fees, and financial obligations. Delinquent accounts may result in reservation cancellations.
Bonus Time and Day Use Restrictions
It is important to note that owners who purchase a timeshare on the resale market are not eligible for certain benefits, such as Bonus Time and day usage of the resort amenities.
However, many owners find that the significant savings they can get by buying on the resale market outweigh the value of these programs. By purchasing resale, buyers can often secure their ideal property far less than the original retail cost, making it an attractive option for those focused on long-term value.
Tips for a Smooth Reservation Process
- Plan Early: High-demand weeks fill quickly, so book when your reservation window opens. This occurs on the day the booking window opens, at 9 AM Mountain time, when owners can call or book online.
- Keep an Eye on Deadlines: Be mindful of important deadlines for reservation requests and cancellations.
- Explore Your Options: Consider splitting your unit into multiple stays to maximize flexibility and accommodate multiple trips within the year.
- Maintain Good Standing: Ensure timely payment of assessments and fees to avoid disruptions to your privileges.
