Very well maintained property. Had everything we needed for our summer vacation. Lots of room for everyone. The kids loved the pool at the resort and then also the beaches. The adults enjoyed playing pickleball and visiting Short's and Bee Well Mead & Cider. Close to everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
The chalet was clean and tidy. The air conditioner came in handy over the excessive heat warning. Quiet area and the checkout list was easy to follow. The host was easy going and was fast to reply to questions. Thank you so much for a great stay!
This place was perfect for our group I really liked the split A/C system and the location to the public boat launch.
Everyone commented it was perfect bfor a weekend get away.
Yes, it was disappointing that I had to call you about the neighbor complaining about the loud music and the broken chair & mess that was left. I did appreciate your apology for your group though

A beautiful chalet with plenty of room for everyone. Nice deck and a spacious backyard with a fire pit. Very enjoyable with 14 people.
Our families have been vacationing up in Michigan for the past 5 summers. We have a large group and this house was perfect! Quiet neighborhood, close to every you need, and enough room for our families. Thank you for another wonderful Michigan vacation!
This is a fantastic house to stay in during your vacation to the Shanty Creek area. It’s clean, spacious, and has a well stocked kitchen. We were in want of nothing! Kathy Mantey is a fantastic hostess, and a great communicator. Our family would love to return to this home next year.

Thank you for the kind words Jeanie! Would love to have your group back!
So glad you had a great get away, it is so important!
This was a gorgeous home in a beautiful nature setting. We saw multiple deer right from the deck. Great size house for our large family. The second living room with kitchenette really came in handy. You just can't beat having three bathrooms. Awesome kitchen too. We all had a blast. Will definitely stay here again.

Thanks for the great review Jamie! You group were great guests, I appreciate that! You are welcomed back!
A beautiful home with an easy check-in process. Kathy was extremely communicative throughout the whole stay. There was more than enough space for the ten of us. A stones throw from the Pelicans Nest and all Shanty Creek has to offer, yet tucked back on a quite dead end road.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy Mantey
My name is Kathy Mantey. I decided to get involved in vacation rentals after renting one in Florida many years ago. The experience is so much better than being in a hotel. It feels like a home away from home. I am married to Jerry Mantey and have 3 children. I value dearly the "family vacation" and having the time to be together and share experiences and make beautiful memories. . I look forward to time together with them along with other family and friends.
Why they chose this property
This truly offers the home away from home experience. We purchased this Chalet because it offers many activities year round. The setting is peaceful yet so close to everything. There is plenty of room to have multiple families and spread out.
What makes this property unique
Golfing and skiing/snowboarding are right here in the resort and Lake Bellaire is just a short drive (3 miles) away. The benefit of the private beach club and use of indoor/outdoor pools and hot tub make this location ideal. There is always something to do around the area!
