We were they for an annual weekend cycling event - 4th time at Shanty Ck. This was our favorite room of the 4. Super convenient that we could park within steps of the unit and the balcony over looking the valley was lush and peaceful. Place was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were e terrific when we needed a slightly later checkout too.

Stay was great. The door keypad was temperamental. Sometimes you had to put in the code plus the button at top. Next time you did that it wouldn’t unlock.

Clean and comfortable

It's a great property, clean condo and quiet building. We've stayed at another condo nearby with a different owner and it was a terrible experience. If we go back to Bellaire, we will try to stay at this owner's place again, it was great.

Up north getaway

This property is amazing, has a full kitchen which we loved. Has a main room that has one double bed and a sleeper sofa. An awesome balcony to sit outside, only downfall on that was the cushions were wet. Other than that truly enjoyed our trip and looking forward to staying there again

Beautiful Scenic Vista from the Balcony

The condo was lovely! The view from the balcony was stunning! Love that it had a full-size fridge, dishwasher, and 12-cup coffee maker. The only thing the condo lacked was a chest of drawers, so we could've unpacked our suitcases in the week that we stayed. Would definitely stay again.

Good cozy place up north

Good clean and cozy place. Loved the pool and hot tub access. This is not a ski in / ski out as advertised since the mountain was closed for skiing a few years ago. The ad should be updated. It wasn’t a huge deal to us and otherwise the stay was great.

Clean

This property was clean, but needs a lot of updating. Things we're broken and scratched but not unusable. This property is attached to 2 others on either side of the condo and connected by thin doors so you can hear the neighbors conversations. The fireplace was nice. Overall a decent stay.

Me and my Family first traveled to Shanty Creek in 2019. We loved it so much that we decided to purchase our little place Up North. We specifically focused on Summit Village for the extras it has to offer in addition to a place to sleep.
We are glad to share our experience with you and make your accommodation worry free.
