Re: BE CAREFUL OF SILVER LAKES VACATION CLUB/THE MISSION VILLAS OF SILVER LAKES (by Carolyn W.):

We bought a unit there because it is close to my daughter's home in Hesperia so it has worked out well. However, they do try to get you to upgrade. Timeshares are having a bit of a problem now with people who don't pay the maintenance. We have enjoyed the facilities. We have found it clean and decent. I love the skylight. We like both the pools, the big one up on the hill near the country club and the small one at the sales office. Kids & grandkids enjoyed the tennis court.

I haven't exchanged my unit there so I don't know that much about points. I do know that it is very hard to get 2 bedroom units in California and you can there.

I own a 1 bedroom, but they let me upgrade it to 2 BR for an additional fee. They have let me roll 2 years together and take both weeks at the same time.

Many go there for golfing, I don't so I don't know about the golf course. That is old Rt. 66 and historic. Calico, a ghost town amusement area is near there as is the desert. Not a lot out there otherwise other than the lake if you have a pontoon boat. Bad is that there is no boat rental company there. Might be a nice small business. I think I did go to the laundry in the little village which is close enough for most to walk to (I am handicapped so I take the car). There is a little store there and several places to eat. Nothing fancy but good. They do try to get you to upgade and that is expensive but you can say no. What I was originally told and what I signed were slightly different as to the times I could use it, which is why I upgrades to use anytime. If you are interested in renting a week there, let me know. I dont remember if I used my week last year or if I have to bank it or rent it this year. I need to call to see. I haven't seen the newly remodeled units yet. I thought they were fine as they were. I live in Florida.
