If your family is long overdue for a real getaway — the kind where everyone actually relaxes — it might be time for a post-holiday timesharing reset. After weeks of nonstop gatherings, hosting, and hustle, timesharing gives families an easy way to pause, reconnect, and travel to spaces that feel just like home.

We chose Massanutten Resort in Virginia’s stunning Shenandoah Valley for our reset, and it was everything we needed: Space to breathe, plenty to do, and time together that didn’t feel rushed. From the waterpark to the mountaintop views, this four-season resort perfectly showcased how timesharing helps families make vacation a priority — without the stress of last-minute planning.

How Timesharing Helps Families Relax — for Real
Everyone in my family found their happy place at Massanutten Resort. My daughter loved the indoor waterpark, adventure course, playgrounds, and hands-on classes like painting, soap-making, and gem mining. Don't miss the Teddy Bear Factory!
For the adults, golfing, shopping, a spa visit, or quiet time on the patio with a cup of coffee and a mountain view.
Timesharing makes trips like this effortless. There are no crowded hotel rooms or stressful searches for where to stay. We found plenty of space to spread out, time to unwind, and the kind of flexibility that makes family travel actually enjoyable.

Adventure Meets Reset Mode
Massanutten Resort offered plenty of ways to play together and recharge. We tried one of the resort’s three escape rooms, checked out the VR experience, and spent a full day at the indoor waterpark — eight slides, an arcade, and a relaxing adults-only hot tub area.
But what really made the difference was how the fact that this was a timeshare resort made it all feel easy. With comfortable accommodations and on-site activities managed by trusted hospitality brands, it was the kind of trip where we could actually slow down and enjoy each other’s company.
Roomy Suites and Real Comforts
Timeshare resorts are designed with families in mind, and you can feel that difference. We had multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and an in-suite washer and dryer. Those small conveniences meant less stress and more time to enjoy the view.
That’s one of the biggest perks of timesharing: You can travel with all the comforts of home while knowing your stay will meet professional hospitality standards. And the best part? Anyone can rent a stay in a timeshare resort. You don’t have to be an owner to experience the timesharing lifestyle.

The Value of Timesharing
Timesharing makes family vacations easier, more affordable, and more intentional. It allows travelers to lock in tomorrow’s vacations at today’s prices, enjoy roomy accommodations, and access amenities that make every trip feel special.
Timeshare owners take nearly twice as many vacations each year as the average American — 4.3 trips compared to 2.5. That’s more time for connection, laughter, and the memories that matter most.
And contrary to old perceptions, today’s timesharers are younger and more diverse than ever — 57% are Millennials or Gen Z. With nearly 10 million U.S. households owning at least one timeshare and almost 1,500 resorts across the country, there’s a destination for every kind of traveler.

Memory-Making Moments
On our last night at Massanutten Resort, my daughter looked at me and said, “Does today have to be the last day here?” That melted my heart. Isn’t that what every parent hopes for? After the planning, packing, and patience that go into family travel, moments like that make it all worth it.
