It used to be that when you wanted to buy a second family vacation home you just found one you liked, bought it and you owned it...period!

Well, in the modern era there are many new and exciting ways to "own" what you want (and more importantly what you need...) and it comes in many formats these days.

First came whole ownership – when you bought property outright and used it when you could get way – even if that was only a week here or there throughout the year.

Then came that "stepchild of the condo/hotel industry" called Timeshare where you just bought a week of vacation "time" in a place and that's all you wanted - it's still one of the fastest growing segments of the vacation home industry and appeals to many people just looking for a place to go for their vacation and the added value of exchange privileges around the globe.

Over the past few years a new concept has emerged that truly does appeal to the masses of people wanting to "own" a vacation home just for the length of time they really need it and want it – and that's called a Fractional or Shared Equity Ownership.

Knowing that everyone wants what they want, and no two people are ever alike, there is more than one kind of ownership at Branson Cedars Resort... we offer everything from a single week of Timeshare up to the whole "enchilada" of whole ownership if that's what you desire... to every kind of possible combination of Fractional ownership in-between from a ¼ share, to a 1/13th interest, to 6 weeks if that's what you want... whatever combination of weeks of ownership you desire we can build a package to suit those needs.

It's sort of like eating at a cafeteria – you only pick what you want out of a wide range of choices. Our philosophy is that vacation home ownership should be a positive carefree experience – not a financial or emotional drain. With ownership of any of these types of programs at Branson Cedars Resort you show up, turn the key to your front door, and as they say in New Orleans – "Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler" or – "let the good times roll".

That's what a vacation is supposed to be – carefree! Not doing yard work as soon as you get there, or routine maintenance and upkeep. And there are no security issues, no storm damage concerns, and best of all no cleaning!

Ownership at the Branson Cedars resort means your cabin, cottage or treehouse is fully furnished – down to the last pot, pan and dish towel. It is absolutely move-in ready – and that happens each and every time you visit here. It is perfect every time you come for a visit – guaranteed to be ready when you are!

Sure you can buy a piece of land, clear and level that land, get it approved through the city or county, pull the permits, pay for water, sewer & electric to the property, excavate a foundation site, pave a road, find a log home builder or general contractor, pray for no cost overruns, trust that your contractor and his or her subs are doing it correctly, wait the months and months for construction to be completed, get it landscaped.... you get the idea!

Then if that's not enough time & effort, now you have to also go out and pay for the furnishings, window coverings, household appliances, kitchen items, accessories & decorations, TV's, etc... that cost thousands and thousands more dollars – on top of what you just spent to build the place.

----At Branson Cedars Resort everything is included in the one price that you pay. Down the line if you want to purchase additional weeks you can always do so at a special discounted rate for property owners.

Whether it's one week, multiple weeks or the whole enchilada, this is true equity participation at its most creative and highest level.

If you only want to own one week – then by all means just buy one week of Timeshare and it's yours, or for that matter if one week out of every month is more to your liking then we have that for you also.... Guaranteed to be the ready when you are. But, if whole ownership is still the only way you roll, well then by all means knock yourself out and go for the gusto... buy it all as we will still offer the same services and amenities that everyone else enjoys as a Shared Equity Owner at Branson Cedars Resort.

The one thing we know for sure is that at Branson Cedars Resort, unlike at other projects in the area and around the country – COST is not a four letter word.
