About this property

Shanty Creek 4-Season Chalet: Skiing, Lakes, Golf Courses & Trails

Escape to a private four-season chalet on a quiet dead-end street in Shanty Creek Resort—perfect for families and groups looking for adventure, relaxation, and year-round fun. Set on a ½-acre lot with mature trees, this well-kept getaway offers nine comfortable beds, space for everyone to unwind, and unbeatable access to the best of Northern Michigan. Fall colors here are beautiful!

Resort Amenities Included

Guests enjoy full access to the indoor and outdoor pools, shared hot tub, disc golf, bike rentals, and restaurant at Lakeview Hotel—just minutes from the chalet. In summer, you’ll also have a pass to the private Bellaire Beach Club on Lake Bellaire, offering lounge chairs, basketball, pickleball, grills, children's play area, and a perfect place to spend the day by the water.

Winter Fun

Ski, snowboard, cross-country ski, and tube at Schuss and Summit Mountains, only minutes away. Snowmobile directly from the chalet to reach the trail network, with plenty of space in the garage for storing equipment. Boyne Mountain is just 30 miles away for even more winter adventure.

Golfing Paradise

Tee off at four of Michigan’s top courses—The Legend (Arnold Palmer), Cedar River (Tom Weiskopf), Schuss Mountain, and Summit. Daily golf specials make it easy to explore them all.

Summer on the Chain of Lakes

Just minutes from Lake Bellaire, part of the famous Chain of Lakes including Torch Lake, you’ll be perfectly positioned for boating, fishing, swimming, and lake days. Bring your own boat or rent from nearby marinas. The public boat launch is less than 3 miles from the chalet.

Biking & Hiking

Explore 31.5 miles of trails at Glacial Hills—only 12 minutes (6 miles) from the chalet. Grass River Natural Area is 12 minutes (7.2 miles) away with boardwalks, wildlife, and serene Northern Michigan landscapes.

Nearby Towns & Attractions

Visit charming downtown Bellaire, stop by Short’s Brewery, explore the shops in Alden and Elk Rapids, or head to Traverse City (45 minutes) for beaches, dining, and shopping. Dockside Restaurant on Torch Lake is a guest favorite for lakeside meals.

On-Site Outdoor Living

After a full day out, return to the chalet to relax and reconnect. Enjoy the fire pit, grill dinner on the gas BBQ, challenge friends to corn hole, or unwind on the spacious deck surrounded by trees. There’s plenty of outdoor room for kids to play and adults to enjoy the fresh air.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Mantey

Host profile image
My name is Kathy Mantey. I decided to get involved in vacation rentals after renting one in Florida many years ago. The experience is so much better than being in a hotel. It feels like a home away from home. I am married to Jerry Mantey and have 3 children. I value dearly the "family vacation" and having the time to be together and share experiences and make beautiful memories. . I look forward to time together with them along with other family and friends.

Why they chose this property

This truly offers the home away from home experience. We purchased this Chalet because it offers many activities year round. The setting is peaceful yet so close to everything. There is plenty of room to have multiple families and spread out.

What makes this property unique

Golfing and skiing/snowboarding are right here in the resort and Lake Bellaire is just a short drive (3 miles) away. The benefit of the private beach club and use of indoor/outdoor pools and hot tub make this location ideal. There is always something to do around the area!
