Wonderful stay! The kitchen was one of the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful spaces, very clean and kind hosts. We will definitely be back-thank you!
We enjoyed the amenities of this rental and it’s proximity to Schuss mountain and the city of Bellaire. Our family enjoyed our time here and would recommend this place for anyone!
It is hard to get everyone together on one place so when i planned this vacation i wanted a space big enough for everyone. The house is wonderful and so peaceful. We had a wonderful vacation and this home was family friendly with all the accommodations.
Wonderful spot with great amenities, location, responsive host, and convenient for local activities. I recommend this place. No issues at all. Would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Bellaire.
The chalet is gorgeous and very well appointed. The game room was awesome and the fire pit was magical for roasting marshmallows and making memories. If I could give this place more stars, I absolutely would!
Enjoyed the house and all the updated amenities. Host was very welcoming and responsive. Would absolutely recommend this place and hoping to stay here again next year!
We have a family of 6 including 4 teenagers and this was a perfect home to rent. John’s provided check in information was helpful and detail oriented. Would stay here again!
Property was just as described and pictured, John was very helpful and responsive and it was an all over great stay. The check in and out process was easy, we traveled with our dog and 2 kids and they all loved it. Plenty of room to play and hang out and in a secluded setting.
Hilltop hideaway was perfect for our family ski weekend! We had plenty of room for the 8 of us. It was very comfy and cozy and clean. We enjoyed the game room area, the well stocked kitchen and beautiful area. Ski lifts only a few min away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again.
Very nice place in a quiet area near Shanty Creek. We had a great time. The best thing we were able to bring our dog. That was a huge plus for us. The place is very clean and well stocked with kit hen supplies, that was awesome. Thanks for a great stay.
The location was great. It was only a few minutes to the slopes. It was nice to have three bedrooms with one on the main floor, one up, and one in the walk-out basement. We enjoyed playing pool in the basement as well.
Our family enjoyed staying at this beautiful home! It was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials. After doing some day trips to Traverse City and Glen Arbor, it was a peaceful ending to a busy day to relax on the porch and enjoy the night skies. We enjoyed lots of walks around the resort area, great exercise as most of it is one hill after another!
We would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Jessica
My husband and I grew up in the Metro-Detroit area but vacationed "Up North" every summer since we were little. My husband fell in love with the Shanty Creek Resort area specifically when he was young and introduced it to me a few years ago which turned into us both being in love with the area. We have both been in the accounting world for 15+ years and decided to venture out and use our attention to details in a more creative way and start our first short term rental. We can't wait to share our new property with you and hope our love for the area and attention to details will keep you wanting to come back for years to come!
