Its prime location is steps from The Legend club house, Starbucks, Summit Ski Hill, indoor/outdoor pools, tubing, kids park, The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Town (3 restaurants that also share an outdoor seating common area with night life entertainment on most evenings) and some of the most amazing views!

The condo unit itself is gorgeous and has a lot to offer! The fully furnished kitchen is new and can accommodate all your cooking and cleaning needs! The remodeled living room comes with a 55" smart TV to help stream your favorite apps, a wood fireplace (firewood included during the winter months), back deck access, comfy seating and has the ability to easily sleep 4 with an extremely comfortable queen murphy bed and a pullout queen sofa bed. The large bedrooms each have 2 double beds, a 55" smart TV, a small wet bar, private decks and a private bathroom. The third bathroom is located just off the kitchen and you will also have access to the washer and dryer.

Staying with us you will also be provided a Shanty Creek pool card, which includes access to three different pools.
Gorgeous Private Beach Club on Lake Bellaire –Open to Owners and Guests (that’s you) ONLY!!
250 feet lake frontage with hard sandy bottom & beach, park-like setting, restrooms, kitchen, lounge chairs, gas grills, play structure, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, board games, etc provided. Bring your kayak/canoe and launch from here.

Shanty Creek and the beautiful Bellaire area provide you with activities all year long. Shanty Creek offers: 4 Championship Golf Courses, 46 ski runs, terrain parks, and tubing hill, and numerous other amenities such as 30 kilometers of cross-country trails, 5 indoor/outdoor pools, wellness spa, nearby lakes and several dining options. The resort offers a free shuttle to Bellaire (a quick 5-mile trip) where you will find shops, restaurants, and entertainment for all. Interested in hiking or mountain bike trails? You will find Glacial Hills which features 31.5 miles of hiking, mountain biking and winter sports.
Is it summer memories you’re after? The Outdoors provides you with access to the private Summit Beach Club on Lake Bellaire or you can travel a bit further to visit Torch lake, Traverse City, Petosky or Charlevoix. Sleeping Bear dunes and Lake Michigan are an easy 45-minute care ride. Paddle board or canoe through the chain of lakes or rent a jet ski or pontoon and cruise through with ease. Come back to The Outdoors and cook s’mores on our fire pit while watching falling stars under a stellar norther sky.
With a silver medal from Golf Digest, recognition from Condé Nast Traveler (“Top Golf Resorts in the World”), and two courses ranked among Michigan's Top 20 by Golf Magazine, choosing Shanty Creek for your Midwest golf trip is a safer bet than your approach shot on Arnold Palmer's masterpiece, The Legend #7.

Shanty Creek Ski Trip

Came up to Shanty Creek to ski and check out the local area of Bellaire. My family and I loved the condo and the proximity to everything. We skied mountain while here. It was a great ski resort and within 10 minutes of the condo. Shanty bar, pizza and subs, a coffee shop, and the lakeview hotel was just a short walk away from the condo. We’ll definitely stay here again while up in the area.

This property felt like home away from home. It was quiet and accommodated all our needs. I would have given this place a 5-star, but the outside conditions weren't as nice. The walk away remained very icy, making it difficult to walk in and out of the condo.

Vert nice property

We really enjoyed our visit. We had a small problem in the beginning, but the owner was very quick to respond and fix the issue. It would have been good to know that this is a lower level unit and you need to walk down a flight of stairs to get to it. With bad knees, this was not the best for me, but the rest of my family had no problems. Overall I would recommend this property and dealing with Eddie.
