Current owners of Odyssey Development vacation homes have shared with us their top reasons why this was a good decision for them. By doing so, they provide a reliable voice that gives sound merit to the purchasing decision you are considering:

This is NOT a Time-Share.

Becoming a fractional owner is a deeded, real estate transaction with title to physical property.  This is an advantage to you and your family, in the same way as any other real estate transaction. One of the only common factors to a time share is your ability to arrive as a guest, enjoy the resort amenities as a guest, and leave as a guest would, with the laundry and the dishes for housekeeping to clean up.

I'm impressed with the All-Inclusive Management.

Professional on-site interior and exterior maintenance staff…single invoice/bill pay…monthly/quarterly and year-end profit statements – these are all rated as being very important by current owners.  It is not only a convenience, but every thing coming from one source also gives peace of mind.

Because in this lifetime, I don't need another home to keep up!

I'm not looking for more windows to wash, lawn to mow or sidewalks to shovel.  I enjoy arriving to freshly laundered linens, fire wood that is chopped and stacked and whirlpool tub with my name on it!

Because each room is fully and tastefully furnished, right down to the kitchen utensils.

When you visit an Odyssey resort property for the first time, you'll experience the "wow factor".  It happens all the time…our Interior Designer personally selects every item in the home to correspond with the architectural design and the local area's landscape.   And, while the grand impression is striking, it's the details placed in every room that bring it all together for the right combination of comfort and style.  Just like if you'd done it yourself.

Because of the solid reputation for top quality construction.

When facing a home purchase decision, whether it's your primary home or a vacation lake home, quality construction is paramount.  Odyssey Development is a proven leader in building design and construction.  Our properties have stood the test of time.  All during construction we have our own supervisor on-site.  This is just one way that Odyssey Development controls every aspect of the building phase to ensure quality and lasting endurance.

Because when we are not able to enjoy our lake home, it can earn income for us!

Most owners of fractional shares have bought because they love the resort experience and plan to use their Minnesota vacation lake home.  But when not using the full week available or the full unit, there is potential for income from rental to help off-set expenses.  If you are purchasing a pre-owned unit, we can share with you the actual income history of that unit.

Because this is a highly desirable location...

The old adage is still so true…"location, location, location".  From the premier mountain side ski-in/ski-out resort, to the prime Lake Superior North Shore, and then to the state's fourth largest fresh water fishing and boating recreation destination, you now have access to some of the best real estate land not only in the state of Minnesota, but in the USA.

Because having a full array of resort amenities right out our door, really delivers the vacation experience.

If you like the resort experience as a guest, imagine how much better it will be as an owner!  Enjoy the pool, the whirlpools and sauna, the fitness area, the restaurant and the outdoor games and activities. 

Because of tax benefits for property ownership.

We certainly can not answer the potential tax benefits that apply for each individual.  Please check with your own tax professional advisor for their advice, and then share with us as others have done, why whole or fractional vacation lakeshore ownership is a good investment for you.

Because we like to entertain our family, friends and business partners and this is an easy and impressive way to get it done. 

Our spacious lakeside vacation homes provide the perfect getaway for families and groups.  The town home floor plan is a two-level, three bedroom lake home and each bedroom features its own private bath and, if desired, separate entry.  This allows for private spaces and gathering space in the same unit.  And, if you ever have even larger groups, there is rental available for all!

Because this helps us diversify our investment portfolio, in a very pleasurable way!

For many, the purchase of real estate helps to diversify a personal investment portfolio.  This is a decision you'll want to make with your own financial advisor.

Because this is maintenance-free living!

This is not your parent's or grandparent's cabin! Owning a vacation lakeshore home through Odyssey Development is all about giving you and your family time to relax and really enjoy each other and the great outdoor activities…summer, fall and winter.  Imagine the memories waiting to be made.

Because it's affordable.

Owning a lakeshore vacation home is attainable for thousands more families with the availability of fractional shares.  Even whole ownership, which is also available, is more affordable when the property expenses are shared amongst several rather than put solely on one property owner.  We'd like to show you how you can become an owner.
