It was our first time staying at Shanty Creek and we had a great time! The unit itself was clean and roomier than pictured. It was a very quiet spot for a holiday weekend- the parking area was full but we barely saw anyone else! We loved having access to different areas like the indoor pool and the beach club (though that was a little tricky to find). One thing to note is that the bed is quite soft- we loved it, but know that’s not always the preference for others. Overall we would highly recommend this unit and would love to return in the future!

Very very nice unit! Everything was as expected and then some. Nice view, close proximity to Chief golf course and other Shanty Creek attractions. And Nicole was an outstanding host and communicator. This will be my 1st choice destination the next time I come to Shanty Creek.
