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.

This property is little scuffed up. The table had a lot of scratches. I couldn't find the checkin instructions so I called the property manager and he responded after 4 hours.

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

Great weekend

The property is in a great, central location. Exactly as advertised. It has a nice balcony overlooking the sledding hill. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of firewood for the fireplace. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Place For Us To Stay

The location of this property fit our needs perfectly. Very close to Bellaire and to my hunting property. The owners were excellent in communicating with us and the amenities were great. If all goes well hope to be back next year!

Average

Balcony was unusable, as the cushions had already been removed from the chairs and there were no plastic or other sort of chair that could be used. Head board to the bed was broken and the bathroom is really small. There were odd looking fabric screens hiding two side doors into other units. The doors were not lockable from the room, but I suspect residents from other adjacent units could unlock it and enter. Otherwise, it wasn’t bad, nor was it impressive.

Beautiful location in 1st building next to the Lake View Lodge and ski slopes at Summit. Unit was old and had worn carpet and furniture. Roku TV but with no cable news channels. Noisy party above us kept us awake on Friday night.

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.

The description did not reveal it is a temporary bed nor that two interior doorways are sealed with canvas covers. Bed was very uncomfortable and there were no clean looking blankets. Would not stay again.

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.

I'll be perfectly honest. The property was fine and had everything we needed, but it was just someplace to sleep at night. We didn't partake of any of the amenities beyond the room itself and that was just at night. The place was clean and quiet with a picturesque view and close enough to the locations I wanted to reach that it met all of my needs. I had no problems overall and would definitely be willing to stay again in the future.
