Family Ski Weekend

This property was just awesome! The location to Shanty Creek Ski Resort was perfect - short drive allowed us to ski and come back to warm up and eat! The bedrooms were perfectly situated for our family with 4 adults and 5 kids of differing ages. The teens enjoyed the lower level to themselves with pool table and other games. The house was equipped with SO much and Debbie was great at communicating and being flexible with our wishes! Would definitely stay here again!

Great Ski Base Camp

The house is well stocked with quality goods and everything you would need to enjoy your stay. Kitchen essentials are there along with toiletries for the showers. All of the towels and bedding are in great shape. Mattress was very comfortable and there is lots of space to spread out. The fireplace was a nice plus after a long day of skiing. We will definitely consider this on our next trip north!

Excellent stay!

Everything about this home was fantastic. Clean. Very well stocked (the kitchen knives were sharp… if you are a frequent VRBO’er… you will understand this struggle ). Beds were super comfortable & linens were nice. Pool table & lots of games were a nice touch. Fire pit & so much firewood! Highly recommend this property (or maybe not so it’s not booked when I want to stay there again ). Five stars all the way!!

Family Ski Trip

Every year we do a family ski trip. This has been our favorite house. 5 corners is our favorite location as it is in the middle of everything. The house only had one step which was great for my mom to enter. They came and plowed every time it snowed which was excellent. We will definitely recommend and rent this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Cook

Host profile image
For the past twenty years our family has enjoyed renting homes in beautiful locations in the US and other countries. We love the comfort, flexibility, and value of staying in a rental home so we decided it was time have our own that we could share with others!

Why they chose this property

Northern Michigan has always been a favorite destination for us to golf, kayak, bike, ski, and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings the area has to offer! We love that it is a four season destination that can be enjoyed all year long.
