Interesting.
I wonder what the justification would be for making that decision. The entire complex is two bedroom villas, so an owner couldn't even book a Studio, One Bedroom or Three Bedroom until the 7 month window.
And then there's the budget issue. Dues are likely to be quite high with so few villas.
I also wonder about the legalities of such a move. For years the treehouse property was included in the POS for Saratoga Springs. There was no guarantee that DVC would develop that area into Villas, but to ultimately develop the land and subsequently carve it out as a separate resort seems a bit...shady to say the least. Can DVC really market SSR as including the Treehouse land, only to remove the land and place it in a different condo association? Isn't that misrepresentation?
Above all, by making them a separate property what advantage does DVC gain? They can set the point charts and prices wherever they wish regardless of whether they are part of SSR or a separate resort. Wouldn't the Treehouses' appeal allow the points to sell just as quickly if packaged as SSR points? I can't imagine there are many people out there thinking "I'd buy into the Treehouses but ONLY if they are separate from Saratoga Springs."
