Advantage:Use your own resources and connections to fill your deeded Club home as you wish. Owners may establish their own price for rentals and pay for online booking sites. Owners must manage the rental process including listing, booking, and collecting. State tax may be due from the owner for rental income. You may also gift the use of your deeded Club home to friends, relatives, or a charity. Your guests may purchase Daycation tickets when available in order to enjoy all of the benefits that Smuggs has to offer. A charity receives a complimentary SmuggsPass, plus Smugglers' donates ski tickets or Summer childrens' programs, subject to availability and the season. The charity will have to provide its non-profit EIN.
Disadvantage:There will be a $50 tenant processing fee to partially offset the costs of extra internal record keeping. RCI charges $109 (as of 12/1/22) for similar service. This fee is waived for a charity. When you rent/gift/donate your deeded Club home, you lose the use of it for the week and your benefits are not transferable. Owners must inform their Tenants that access to Smuggs facilities is available only through the purchase of Daycation tickets. A limited number of these tickets are offered. This frequently results in dissatisfied guests.
Conditions:The Owner will be required to complete a
tenant contact information form for each stay prior to the check-in of their tenant. If your tenant is arriving within the next 7 days, please call Owner Services at 1-800-354-7884, in addition to completing this form. Smugglers' will email a welcome confirmation letter explaining the services and privileges available with a Daycation ticket. The tenant will be required to complete a Guest Certificate form and cannot check-in until it is completed. For a charity, the donating Owner and guest will complete a form acknowledging that there has been no compensation received for the use of the home. If at a later date it is determined that compensation has been received Smugglers' will assess a $2,000 fee in lieu of a charge of Theft of Services.
CLOSE Advantage:A convenient way to spend more time at Smugglers' or to be comfortable with knowing that another Club Owner is occupying your home.
Disadvantage:A growing crowd using the column.
Conditions:The SWAP Column will remain in effect with continued appropriate user information provided to Smugglers'. Owners may use their own benefits up to the number of days (usually 7) for each week of ownership.
