Family Vacation Timeshares

Since its beginning in the French Alps in the 1960's, time sharing has grown to be a familiar and accepted concept. After rapid growth in the 70's and 80's fueled by independent developers, corporations such as Marriott, Disney, and Hyatt became a major presence in the timeshare industry, which has grown exponentially. Guest House construction began in 1982 and the project was designated a Premier property of the exchange company Interval International. Trapp Family Guest Houses now offer one of the most successful resale programs in the industry.
