Perfect getaway before back to school!

The Shanty Creek property had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time away from home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The fire pit and hot tub were the perfect way to end a long day on the lake.

Had a great time at this property. Lots of room to spread out for a large family. Kitchen was well appointed and there was plenty of amenities. The fire pit and hot tub were great for the evenings and we enjoyed the private beach club on Lake Bellaire. Will definitely bookmark this property for another stay in the future.

Beautiful Property!

This was a perfect house for a family ski trip to Schuss Mountain. We had more than enough space and the house had so much to offer our group. We loved the house and location. Having our own hot tub after a ski day was such an added bonus. Definitely recommend and we can't wait to go back.

Golf trip with high school buddies and couple of dads. Enjoyed the stay. Neighbors were a little too close for late night campfires so we played poker inside. A lot of room. I think they all liked it. Would stay again

The water pressure and heat of the water were amazing. I could not figure out how to cool down the rooms upstairs. We srt it to 68 and they stayed at 75 the entire time. The fireplace would go on for no reason and when we first arrived, some of the wall outlets were not working.

This was our second year at the property. It is incredibly spacious, super clean, has a fabulous hot tub, fire pits, great sitting areas on the main and basement levels, pizza oven, and you can even sled with the kiddos in the backyard. Less than 10 minutes away from Schuss Mountain.!!!! Will be back again as soon as we can!!! One of the very best VRBO’s we have ever stayed at as a family!!!

This is a beautiful property, very spacious and well stocked. The host was very responsive to questions before our arrival.However, upon our arrival, the driveway was difficult to maneuver, even with four-wheel drive due to patched snow covered by 2 to 3 inches of powder. This was resolved when we shoveled the driveway ourselves.We also discovered late Saturday halfway through our stay, a dryer full of towels, and a washing machine full of wet towels. Seems like they should have been removed and placed in the linen closets where we could find them for our use.Other than this, which was totally maintenance issues, this home and our hostess were delightful and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend.
