The house was amazing. Very cozy. We have been skiing at Shanty Creek for 30 years. Our group commented that this rental was the best place we ever stayed. Peaceful. Comfortable. Well equipped. Kara, the host, is fantastic. I recommend this place.
We had amazing experience at the cabin. Located in beautiful neighborhood, there is plenty of space, bedrooms were very comfortable, the air hockey and darts in the basement definitely added to our entertainment. I would recommend this house to anybody looking for a place to relax. Kara was an amazing host!
Beautiful home in a great location near shanty creek but tucked away in a quiet area. Plenty of beds and the deck is amazing. Only two suggestions would be a tv in the main living space (there is one in the basement/game room) and cutting knives (kitchen was otherwise full of everything you could need - silverware, plates/bowls, pots/pans, spices, etc)

Hi Jeffrey, so glad you enjoyed your stay! We love the expansive deck in the trees too! I will check into the knives. There should have been a full set of knives (steak, paring, chef) on the kitchen counter. If that set has gone missing, we will be sure to replace prior to our next visitors arrival!
Had a great communication with Kara prior to the stay to make sure everything was prepared. Enjoyed the location as it was close to the shanty creek resort. The house was extremely clean
A perfect property to enjoy a ski weekend. Being Situated between all three villages was great. Having the separate entertainment room downstairs was key. All amenities that were needed were available. Thank you for the hospitality.
The property was wonderful!
However countertop space was very limited in space.
Luckily we brought a folding table and set it up in front of the sliding doors by the kitchen and that worked great!
At first we were afraid of the stairs with the younger ones, BUT became accustomed very shortly after being there.
All in all, a great place to stay! Even one of the little ones wanted to know if we were coming back next year!
Plenty of room for 2 family groups with 5 adult children gathering for a spring weekend memorial for a deceased nephew with other families at nearby locations. Host anticipated needs, and promptly communicated to ensure all our questions and expectations were were fulfilled. Everyone was able to adjust the temperature of their accommodations to their liking and were intrigued by the unique home design. The setting provided enjoyable walking, running, and hiking to nearby family gathering homes. The outdoor grill was great for preparing Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches for delivery to an extended family meal.

My husband and I grew up in Southern Michigan, and still call it home. We fell in love with Bellaire, Michigan, and are looking forward to sharing our Up North place with all of you!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property because it is so unique with the high ceilings, beams, etc. My husband and I have enjoyed renovating the home and are excited to share it with you. The chalet is so peaceful and feels like you are in a treehouse when sitting on the deck! Convenient to all the amenities: Chain of Lakes, Shanty Creek Resort & Golf Courses, Short's Brewery, Downtown Bellaire, and much much more!
What makes this property unique
Access to the indoor & outdoor pools at Lakeview Hotel at Shanty Creek Resorts (seasonally). And the indoor pool at Schuss Mountain lodge.
