Meet THIRDHOME member Bonneau Ansley!
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THIRDHOME?
I was an original investor with Wade (Founder and CEO of THIRDHOME) when the club was just a concept… having multiple homes at the time, the concept of being able to leverage what you already had to go other places made perfect sense to me. Sometimes I felt I HAD to go to one of my homes when I wanted to travel to see more of the world. Being able to leverage what I already was paying for was a game changer for my family to experience new adventures.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
Atlanta, GA
WHO DO YOU USUALLY TRAVEL WITH?
My family
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
I own a Brokerage Company called Ansley Atlanta Real Estate and I am a partner in a dozen more ventures.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THIRDHOME?
I love the variety of homes and places to choose from, and the ease of the website.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL HOBBIES?
I love to walk with my wife for a couple of hours to get the lay of the land when we go someplace new.
WHAT IS THE FAVORITE CITY YOU’VE TRAVELED TO WITH THIRDHOME?
We love going to St Thomas. We have been two times, and our other favorite place is going to Esperanza in Cabo. Quick trips to Palmetto Bluff and Seaside are always great as well.
ANY PERSONAL/FAMILY ACHIEVEMENTS YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?
I loved watching both kids learn to snorkle on St. John and having my daughter swim with a turtle in the wild. My son loved the submarine in Cabo, and seeing the whales jump right in front of us.
After graduating from Woodberry Forest in Virginia, Bonneau went to the University of Georgia were he graduated with a MBA in Real Estate from the Terry College of Business. Bonneau has been involved in real estate as an investor, developer and salesperson for over 15 years.

Ready to plan your next ski vacation? Good. We thought so, which is why we put together a list of the top ski resorts around the world! This is the season to discover new mountainous heights, don your best ski clothing and conquer new slopes at some of the world’s top ski resorts. After you tackle new heights, you’ll need a stylish and luxurious place you can rest at. This is why it’s no surprise many of our THIRDHOME members have homes in each of these locations. Here’s a list of 4 of the top ski resorts around the world and THIRDHOME properties you can vacation in nearby.
MERIBEL SKI RESORT
Meribel, France
Located in the heart of the French Alps, Meribel Ski Resort attracts the likes of skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skills. Meribel is popular because of its ease of skiing to any of the 3 valleys and low-level chalets which uphold the beauty of the surrounding French mountainside.
VAIL SKI RESORT
Vail, USA
Coveted as one of the largest ski resorts in North America and the world, Vail Ski Resort is a sought-after destination for skiers. Known for blue skies, carefully groomed pistes, and world-renowned restaurants and bars to enjoy off the slopes, it’s no wonder many of our members have homes in Vail. With over 150 THIRDHOME properties to choose from, our list of top ski resorts wouldn’t have been complete without it.
THE MATTERHORN
Zermatt, Switzerland
You don’t have to wait until winter to ski here, Zermatt offers a certainty of snow all year. Zermatt is home to the highest peak in Europe! Take a cable car ride up the Klein Matterhorn to see 4,000 meters of gorgeous alps. A stone’s throw away from Italy, this location has a lot to offer and explore when you aren’t on the slopes.
SUN VALLEY RESORT
Sun Valley, USA
There are many reasons Sun Valley Resort is at the top of the list for many luxury travelers. This resort has seen numerous improvements in recent years to its infrastructure, as well as its 2,000-acre trail system. But what we love is that its distinctive charm has remained unchanged. In the winter months it attracts celebrities and the wealthy, but still has a rural flair. With two mountains there is a variety of challenging terrain as well as perfectly-groomed slopes for the beginners.
