Bluegreen Vacations Christmas Mountain Village, an Ascend Resort

Overall the resort provided a pleasant long weekend getaway for a family reunion. The resort is huge, so big that you have to drive to get to a pool and other amenities. The best feature of the resort (5⭐️) is the many activities and amenities for families with children. Also, the overall appearance of the resort is beautiful. The accommodations, while very clean inside & well laid out, are definitely showing signs of age, especially with exterior maintenance. Our townhome unit staircase, entry landing, and deck really needed a good sweeping. Also, the walls are thin; we could hear our neighbors stomping around at all hours. Staff are courteous, friendly and not overly pushy selling timeshares. We simply told them we were timeshare owners in a company based in Madrid, so they left us alone. One night our large group ordered meals from Mulligans, the restaurant on site. We all liked our meals. They were tasty & reasonably priced. The golf courses are well laid out, not too easy & not too hard. One of the highlights were the clean and well-maintained playgrounds and pools. The equipment is safe, the pools and hot tubs are scrupulously clean and well maintained. The little ones in our group really enjoyed them. Overall, we’d go back, hoping that exterior upkeep is improved.

Always fun to spend time at Christmas Mountain Village to golf and relax for a week. I really enjoy the location and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

I was shocked they added a fee upon arrival. Nothing new about the property other than they started charging more.

My unit last year was nice this unit was not then the extra 30 dollars a day I an=m being charged!! Is stupid

I enjoyed staying at this property and my guests did as well. Unfortunately, RCI surprised me with a new "policy" charging an additional $30 per day to use / play mini golf or cook on a grill. This was an additional $210 besides the exchange fee. What a rip off! I enjoy traveling in the area, but these fees will make me come up with another plan. Shame on RCI !

Christmas Mountain has been our go- to spot in the Wisconsin bdells until this trip. In the past few months they have demanded a resort fee of $30 per night. With tax this was $221.55 for the week. Since we were there in October we were not able to get a kayak and all the outdoor pools were closed for the season. During our stay we used the indoor pool once. After paying the exchange fee and resort fee I’m not sure we will be going back.

Upon booking Christmas Mountain I found out that future rentals were going to be billed $30 per day for the use of facilities on the property. Yes, that is $210 a week extra! We have been going there for years but won't again unless that policy is changed. We are in our 70's and rarely use facilities. There facilities are a pool, hot tub and game room. I urge you to utilize another Wisconsin resort until they remove the charge!

My husband and I were blessed with an opportunity to "get away" to reconnect for five days at this beautiful resort. Due to a temporary handicap, I was unable to stay where there were any stairs to climb. The staff knew this ahead of time and was able to provide us with a room I could just "roll into". We stayed in one of the "Townhomes" and it was a refreshing time for us both. The only problem we had was when our air conditioning went out late Tuesday night. At first, we didn't notice; however, because it was a week of unusually high temperatures, we realized it before noon on Wednesday. The staff came quickly to our aid and discovered our a/c compressor was frozen. They tried to find a place for us to move to...but they were booked unless I could do stairs; so, we opted to stay put and they brought us some box fans. It got extremely uncomfortable (82) in the room but that night, the boxed fans and the cooler air outside helped cool down the room to 69. Just as the maintenance man promised, he was back by 9:00 a.m. and the compressor had thawed. He was able to recharge it and we had no more issues. It was a great "time away" and we really enjoyed our stay. We even had one meal at the resort's restaurant...everything was delicious and the customer service was great!

from check in to check out everything went great. The golf course was in good condition. All the employees were friendly and helped us quickly when needed.
