Great ski-in, ski-out location! The property fit our group of 10 adults and 3 children perfectly. With two living rooms we had plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the views of the slopes. The outdoor fire pit and sauna were a highlight!

Our host thought of everything their guests might need during their stay. The chalet was beautiful and inviting. It was very clean and well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, cookware, spices. etc…the drawers and cabinets were labeled with what items were stored in them. This was extremely helpful. The floor plan was perfect for our large family group to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Our host provided clear instructions regarding the chalet, and responded within minutes to answer any questions we had. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again. Book your stay with them…you won’t be disappointed.

Family vacation

We spent Monday to Friday with 11 of us at the house. We were very comfortable and house was wonderful. It was without a doubt the best stocked home we have ever stayed at. The only thing we would say, it go to the pool at Lakeview, the other location was not very nice.

Short Stop Success

We rented this gem last year for a ski weekend and came back again for Superbowl Weekend this year. Had three families with kids and it was perfect. Had a slight snafu with the WiFi upon arrival and the owners got back to me within the hour to fix the problem! Plenty of room and so great we never had to drive anywhere all weekend. Kids had a blast with the game room downstairs and so did the adults! Will book again for sure!

Shanty Golf Weekend

Planning a weekend away with the guys for golf? Look no further. Location was absolutely perfect (10 minute drive to every Shanty Creek course). Home was spacious, clean, and comfortable for all. Check in/out was quick and easy. Both Shannon and Michael were great with communication. Can’t thank them enough for the wonderful stay and memories, if we get back to Shanty Creek for more summer fun this will be our first option to stay!

The cabin was well furnished and had ample sleeping accommodations for our party of twelve. Location was great, 10 minutes to downtown Bellaire and 15 minutes to Torch Lake. I highly recommend the Short Stop for a family vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Brown

Host profile image
Mike and I first purchased in the Schuss Mt area in 2012 and instantly fell in love with the community and local activities available. After remodeling another property in the area, we kept our eyes open for a true ski in/ski out. We were lucky enough to purchase this property in 2017 and have been slowly updating to bring all creature comforts to those that share our cabin!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the location (one of the few true Ski in/Ski outs) - with amazing views of the slopes and fall foliage. Things got even better once we learned about the history: The house was previously owned by Mickey Stanley who played for the Tigers and had a pivotal role in helping them win the 1968 world series as they asked him to come in from the outfield and step in as "shortstop". Being that we are also huge fans of the local brewery SHORTS and the very nature of rentals being for a short stay - we immediately named our cabin "Short Stop Lodge"

What makes this property unique

We welcome you to our cabin and hope you find it as fabulous and relaxing as we do!
We had never rented our property before and for the last few years utilized a property manager, but recently took over with the goal to truly make it a unique and personalized experience when you stay at our cabin. Don't hesitate to reach out directly with any questions!
