Why the Owner Chose Bellaire
Shanty Creek has the right combination of features and amenities for us! When you combine the skiing/snowboarding with 4 great golf courses and proximity to Lake Bellaire and Downtown Bellaire, there is a nice small town feel with plenty of things to do, both on and off the resort. The icing on cake is that Shanty Creek is just far enough away from home to be a real vacation, while being close enough to keep the drive bearable. Another plus is all of the wonderful destinations in Northern Michigan are an easy drive away. You would not believe how much beautiful scenery (Torch Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc.) and other attractions are within 45 minutes of our place!
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The back of the unit is ski-in/ski-out, with a small view of the Legend Golf course. The front balcony has a birds-eye view The Legend as well. We like to think of our Condo as being warm, quiet and cozy, with easy access to restaurants and bars. During the warm months, Summit Mountain is beautifully landscaped and still provides a nice, dark sky for stargazing. In autumn, the deck(s) and windows provide a panoramic view of brilliant Michigan fall colors; perfect for enjoying hot cider and a book! When the snow is falling, having the lift right off of the back deck is a favorite for all of the skiers and snowboarders who have stayed here. Even though Schuss Mountain is VERY close, there is nothing like stepping off the lift and being home with family and friends. Heck, we've ridden down the hill and jumped on the lift in shorts, so we could hit the pool in style! The Lakeview Hotel is steps away, so it's easy to skip staying in so you can hop next door for a meal or some bar time. Additionally, Arnie's is right across the street for something more casual.
Owner's Map of Bellaire
We both love doing things like skiing/snowboarding, hiking, biking and just about anything on the water, especially boating and wakeboarding/waterskiing! Having a place in Bellaire gives us easy access to all of these activities! (Photo: self portrait; camera was sitting on the deck rail of our condo and I had to RUN to get into the shot.)
