Shanty Creek Resort Condo, Sleeps 4, Golf & Ski

Summary:

Beautifully styled ground-level condo at Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire, with full access to the pool, private beach on Lake Bellaire, sport court, and on-site Lakeview Restaurant. Queen bed plus queen sleeper sofa, sleeps 4. Custom tile fireplace, walk-in shower, and an indoor kitchenette; smart-lock entry and ground-level parking outside. Minutes from the slopes, golf, and downtown Bellaire. Built for couples and small groups who appreciate a thoughtfully designed space.



The Space:

A beautifully styled studio at the heart of Shanty Creek Resort.



This is not your average resort condo. Tucked into the Shanty Creek grounds in Bellaire, this fully renovated studio was designed with intention from floor to ceiling. Custom tile work on the fireplace, layered textiles, curated art, and a calming navy and warm-wood palette make it the most thoughtfully styled unit in our Shanty Creek portfolio.



The space sleeps 4 comfortably with a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa. The living area centers around an electric fireplace and a mounted smart TV, with bright natural light pouring in through the windows. The kitchenette has everything you need for the morning routine or a late-night snack: Keurig, microwave, mini fridge, and prep space. The full bathroom features a custom-tiled walk-in shower and a wide vanity built for two.

Guest Access:

Feel at home with full access to the condo — private bedroom, equipped kitchen area, living area, and full bathroom. Resort amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools and Lake Bellaire access, are available during your stay. Tee times and lift tickets are booked separately through Shanty Creek. You'll receive a unique keyless access code 72 hours before your arrival date.



The Neighborhood:

Shanty Creek sits in the heart of Antrim County in northern Michigan — one of the most scenically and recreationally rich corners of the Lower Peninsula. The resort itself is 5,500 acres, so there's no shortage of space. But what's around it is just as strong.



DOWNTOWN BELLAIRE — 5 MINUTES

A genuine northern Michigan small town with local shops, restaurants, and one of Michigan's best craft breweries. Short's Brewing is the anchor, but the downtown strip has everything you need for a relaxed evening out. The Grass River Natural Area is just outside town — one of the most quietly impressive nature preserves in the region, with a floating boardwalk trail through wetlands and old-growth forest.



TORCH LAKE — 15 MINUTES

Named one of the top ten most beautiful lakes in the world by National Geographic. Electric blue water, white sand sandbars, and a sandbar scene in summer that draws visitors from across the Midwest. Easy to spend an entire day on the water and still feel like you barely scratched the surface. In every season, worth the fifteen-minute drive.



CHAIN OF LAKES — 15 TO 20 MINUTES

Elk Lake, Clam Lake, Torch Lake, Lake Bellaire, Intermediate Lake, and Grass Lake — all connected. Some of the best boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding in northern Michigan, with Torch at the southern end as the crown jewel.



GLACIAL HILLS TRAIL SYSTEM — 10 MINUTES

Over 32 miles of single track trail through the hills of Antrim County. Mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers come from across Michigan specifically for Glacial Hills. The terrain is genuine — not groomed flat paths — and the views from the ridges are the kind guests mention in their reviews.



GRASS RIVER NATURAL AREA — 10 MINUTES

A 1,350-acre natural area with floating boardwalk trails through cedar swamps, beaver ponds, and wetland habitat. One of the most peaceful walks in northern Michigan and a legitimate wildlife corridor — great birding in every season.



ELK RAPIDS — 20 MINUTES

A small harbor town on Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay. Worth the drive in summer for the beach, the marina, and the dining along the water.

After booking, you'll receive access to the One Destination Properties Guest Boarding Pass — your curated guide to the best dining, activities, and local favorites in northern Michigan, updated every season.



Getting Around:

We've put together a digital Guest Boarding Pass with our favorite dining, bars, hiking, golf, and activities across northern Michigan — you'll receive access after booking. Resort amenities are walkable from the condo. Downtown Bellaire is five minutes. Torch Lake is fifteen. A car is recommended for exploring the Chain of Lakes region and surrounding area.
