Snowboarding weekend

We stayed for a long weekend (Friday to Monday) and had a lovely time. My family snowboards and they would return to the condo for meals but spent most of Saturday and Sunday on the slopes. The space was clean and comfortable - very nice beds, sheets and pillows

Condo was in excellent condition and exceptionally clean. Check in process was seamless and convenient, and the view from the balcony is amazing. It’s close to Torch Lake which was the primary purpose of our trip. The resort is a little dated but still nice. We were really happy with this quick last minute get away.

Vacation with Nana

We had a wonderful time this weekend. The bunk beds were great for my 2 girls and there was enough room to put a pack and play in my room for my baby boy. Though the weather was not the best for outdoor play we LOVED the indoor pool and spent every morning there. I would recommend staying here to anyone!

Great place and perfect spot

We had a great time at this condo. We’ve been going to Shanty for 10+ years with family and friends, so we know the area well. We visited during peak fall colors and commented that this home was the best spot for fall views. Close to the Lakeview hotel which has restaurants and bars. Including the infamous Mike at Sarducci’s Creekside, IYKYK. Just a short drive or shuttle to downtown Bellaire and great hiking trails. Throughout our stay, and before, Olivia was easy to communicate with. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Condo and Property Management

We had a small hiccup during checkin, but Olivia was amazing and helped get things on track right away. Sometimes life throws a curveball, so a truly responsive owner / property manager was a huge plus, in addition to the great location and amazing views. Highly recommended.

Great condo at Shanty Creek

Olivia and Steve were very helpful and attentive with our booking. The condo had everything that we needed for our 5-night stay. Shanty Creek needs some updating and attention. The pool next to our building had only 5 old chairs and a few tables. Other than that, a great stay all around. Gregg and Kim Halstead.

This condo was in a beautiful location and the views were amazing! The listing was accurate and the space was very clean. We also had some issues with the wifi and the host was quick to resolve the issue. Giving it 4 stars overall because the guest in the condo above us was extremely loud at late hours of the night. If it were just my husband and I, we could have dealt with the inconvenience but the noise woke our baby up multiple times.

We stayed with our two kids to have an up north vacation. The place is very nice and comfortable, and the owner is very responsive, even when I asked dumb questions about where to find the beach club pass (for the record, it's in plain site and located exactly where the welcome binder said it would be!).The pool is nice and just a few hundred feet from the front door. It worked really well as an up north base camp, to go explore for the day and return to relax. It's also located right adjacent to the golf course, if that's your thing.
