Ville Monte Stay

Really enjoyed our two weeks at Ville Monte, Shanty Creek. Great view of the first hole over the bullrushes. Condo worked for us and response to a couple of minor issues was prompt. The Shuss area was a bit too quiet for us, but did take advantage of the nearby golf facilities. Certainly a strong 4-star rating.

Great location

This was a perfect location for our activities in Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Traverse City, and Bay Harbor. The outdoor pool was close - right next to our building. I loved the golf course view out our front window. There were four of us: me, my daughter, and her two kids - 5 and 3. The condo was roomy enough that I never felt we were on top of one another. Kitchen was fully stocked. Very nice stay - I would recommend.

Great condo!

We had a wonderful time! The only issue was the heat! It was so hot out and the 2 air conditioners couldn’t keep up with the heat in the middle room. A fan would have been nice to blow some of the cold air in. Other than that, it was a beautiful condo! Perfect location for our Torch Lake adventure! The shuttle to Shorts Brewery was awesome!

Not a good experience with owners

Stayed at condo twice. First time was good without issue. They charge a high price cleaning fee and then kept my security deposit because I left paper in the kitchen trash. What is the cleaning fee for? I replied to owner and the reply was read the agreement! Place is nice but owners are not easy to deal with. With many different selections for condos at Shanty Creek, I would choose a different Condo moving forward. Nickel and diming people to make extra income is not good for repeat business.

Nice, small Condo in a Beautiful Area

This is a lovely little condo at Schuss Mtn, you can see the slopes and the golf course, it is a private corner smaller unit in a larger very cool chalet surrounded by other chalets. Its a high sun unit, great showers, huge vintage jacuzzi, comfy beds, shady parking spot, a fine stop for a couple exploring the area or skiing for a shorter stay. I recommend. The side yard feels like your own. I also recommend the property manager, support them and their listings., they were right there with any questions. Thankyou! :)

Perfect for Adults!

Location was beautiful right off the golf course! The condo was clean with all the amenities we needed, including a toaster oven which was great for heating up pizza. The beds, couch and chair were all comfy, but we didn't spend much time inside. The resort and surrounding areas are so nice to walk, bike, golf, swim and just enjoy the beauty. This was a very quiet area and we loved it!
