I was surfing around the web and typed in my home resort - Crown Park Resort. I noticed that there was no response to this posting (October of 2006). That's generally a very good sign. That means that people were so satisfied with the property that they had nothing bad to say and didn't look for sites to post their experiences. I stayed there for 3-weeks last year. I have lived and traveled extensively across our great country and through Europe and parts of Africa. In all, 47 states and 30 countries. I have yet to find a property that is as well built and designed as the Crown Park Resort for the location, comfort, and style of decor as well. The 1, 2, and 3 bedroom villas are wonderful. They have everything you would ever need. From the full-size kitchens with granite counter tops, to the full sized kitchen appliances. The master bedroom's king size bed and Jacuzzi bath, the fireplace, large and functional living and dining rooms, and more. My wife and I were there before, during, and after Thanksgiving last year (2006) and cooked most of our meals in. This saved a great deal of money. There was one time that we needed a hand appliance for one dish we were cooking. We called guest services who sent up a brand new electric mixer in a box within 5 minutes. The staff was always friendly, informative about resort and local functions, and ready to assist with any situation. When purchasing ownership with this property, the associates were informative, patient, and allowed us to make decisions that we felt were important to our needs. We had a lot of questions and they were able to answer them completely without any pressure to move to a package that was more expensive or beneficial to the associate. There were no hidden catches. The property will sell itself. The sales associates are merely guides. The ownership is NOT a WEEK program, but a POINTS program. The POINTS program allows much more flexibility with the added bonus of using your points at other RCI locations if you so desired - but why would you? There are also attraction tickets given to you each year, plus discounts to various local businesses as an owner The Crown Park Resort is an incredible property and there are two more phases yet to be built. You won't find this property in the Last Call section of RCI's properties. You may not even find this property available unless you make your reservations in advance -- even if it is your home property due to the high demand and top quality. If you check out their home page (www.crownparkresort.com) you will find that the photos are sketches -- that's how new it is. Enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains. Take care & be safe. J.D.
