Fairfield Bonnet Creek

From what I've read, I agree w/Evedoe - no personal experience as we are not VIP. We have upgraded via RCI trade many times - not for Myrtle Beach, Destin, Bonnet Creek or Alexandria. For those, plan to reserve directly since they are rarely given to RCI. I really couldn't help with the developer monthly purchase costs and finance charges. Sorry.

Now that you are a member of the Yahoo! Group, go to the main webpage for the group and click on "files" in the left column. You'll find a section with all the maint fees for all the FF resorts.

We didn't go inside Mountain Vista but we toured at FF Branson/Meadows. Gorgeous resort - would love to go back!

The maint fees in Branson, per 1,000 points, are:

Meadows I - $3.89
Meadows II - $3.78
Mountain Vista - $3.91
Falls - $3.92
 
just a heads up, almost all of the photos on the websites listed in this thread, including Fairfield's own site show photos of the 4-bed presidential suite, not the 1 or 2 bedroom suites. Although they are similar, they are not nearly laid out or decorated the same.

A good place for pics is tripadvisor.com or webshots.com for actual pics of the units. :cool1:
 
Does anybody have any 1 or 2 bedroom pics that we can see of Bonnet Creek? Also, where are some places to buy groceries in and around the resort. I will be coming in June of next year and looking forward to it. What other kind of events do they have going on in June?

Fairfield's Bonnet Creek webpage shows 4 photos initially, including a LR pic of the 4BR. If you click on the little blue arrow to see the next 4 photos, this set includes the regular Kit/LR.

To distinguish them, note that the 4BR has round, little barstools (no backrests) at the kitchen counter; its dining chairs have a curved upper back; its LR sofa has a curved upper back and it's in the middle of the great room; its bed headboards all have curvy or elaborate upper edge designs; the draperies are more plush.

The (1BR-3BR) smaller units' kitchen counters have high back chairs with a straight-horizontal, upper back edge/lip; the dining chairs have a straight-horizontal edge to the upper backs; the LR sofa (boxy in style) is backed up to a wall with framed art above; the bed headboards are rectangular; the draperies have more typical valance and drapery combinations. They're very nice and the quality is still excellent. But when you look at photos, look for rectangular lines to clue you in, that you are NOT looking at the 4BR Presidential Suites.

On BonnetCreek.com's rental page photo gallery, photos 1-13 are exterior shots. See page 2 for photos 14-18, which look like the smaller units to me. Then photo 19 shows the exterior double-door entry to the 4BR Presidential, followed by interior shots of the 4BR.

On TripAdvisor.com's July 5, 2006 review ("A Home away from home"), a guest posted photos from their 1BR stay in June.

Kmweaver's Webshots album has interior shots from their 2BR stay. You'll see what I meant about the horizontal lines of the furnishings. Pesca46's Webshots album includes more interior photos from Bonnet Creek - a 1BR, I think. If you do a search on Webshots using "Bonnet Creek," you may see still more.

--------------------------
For groceries, there are several options: Publix, Winn-Dixie and Super WalMart - avoid Goodings at the Crossroads.

For Winn-Dixie, exit the development and turn RIGHT on Buena Vista Blvd. After passing DTD on your left, turn RIGHT at the light onto Hotel Plaza Blvd. In a mile, at the light at Crossroads, turn LEFT and go 2.5-3 blocks - you'll see Winn-Dixie on your RIGHT. This is a smaller, neighborhood grocery store with decent prices nearby.

If you turned RIGHT at the Crossroads light and went under I-4 for 1/4 to 1/2 mile, there's a LEFT turn at a traffic light with several restaurants (see Bahama Breeze). Turn there and follow this road around, past Dixie Stampede. At the end (a mile maybe?), there's a Publix at the corner of this road and South Int'l Drive. This is a larger grocery store with a substantial variety and very good, prepared foods in their deli area.

Goodings at the Crossroads is a TERRIBLY overpriced tourist trap of a place, IMHO. We definitely avoid it! Can't recall the nearest Super WalMart. Sorry.

--------------------------
For resort events, go to the Fairfield webpage for the resort. Click on the link for "Resort Activities." They generally do a good job of keeping it up-to-date with seasonal extras. So you'll be able to see more for June posted in the early springtime.

HTH! Enjoy! :sunny:
 
Thanks for all the links! We are staying at BC Christmas Week-- the first few nights in a 4 BR and then in a 2 BR. We're very excited! The pictures look awesome. We might end up spending more time in our room than originally planned. I'll give you a report when we return.
 
I also thanks for all the information about Bonnet Creek, we will be going end of September 2007 :banana:

It's insane to be this excited a whole year out :rotfl2: but I am!!! :)
