DVC rental points-towels?

[Karbase8]

Hi,
For the first time I am renting points at Wilderness Lodge. In my agreement it says I will be getting no housekeeping, but one tidy up midweek. My question is about towels, does anyone know how many towels they give you initially? I asked my agent at the dvc store and they said I could purchase towels or wash them in the washer/dryer provided by the resort? It seems like a silly question, but I must ask! TIA

When we rented points at BCV, we got a very typical amount of towels (about four or five bath towels for a Studio) from the get-go, with some fresh ones in the middle of the trip. I feel confident that we could have asked the front desk for more at any time!

We had a one bedroom and we literally had a pile in the bathroom. Folded very nicely but it was a pretty big pile. We did end up doing a load of towels before we got new ones. Three kids and it was hot - so multiple showers a day!

When we checked in the front desk told us to make sure we had plenty of towels and to let them know if we didn't.

You should have plenty of towels - generally 4-6 to start with in a studio or 1-bedroom. If you are staying less than 8 nights you will receive a trash and towel day on day 4 - they will give you fresh towels. If you are staying 8 nights or more you will get a full clean on day 4 and a trash and towel clean on day 8.

You can always ask housekeeping for more towels - if you call and ask for another set they could possibly charge you, but sometimes you can also just catch them in the hallway and they will give you more.

We have never had a problem with enough towels.

You're not renting points; you're renting a reservation. What size room did you reserve? A studio or one-bedroom should come with 5 sets of towels. They'll be replaced on day 4 (not night, but day 4 after your third night).

For normal usage, the number of towels included in the room should be fine. Now if you are traveling with a party that all like to wrap their hair up in one towel while wrapping another around their body, then you may run out. Hang them up once you are done with them to dry (use the clothesline if needed) and you will be good to go the next day. If you go to the pool or something and need to take a second shower, just bring an extra pool towel or two back to the room with you.
