Perfection! We have been staying at Shanty Creek for 6 years and this was by far our best trip and it was because of this house! The house is even more than the pictures show-so much space, inside and out. There was a family of 4 (2 parents and 2 kids, ages 10 & 11) and then an aunt & uncle. The primary suite is on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms, so it seemed like they had their own wing. The basement was a great hangout, the fire pit was used almost every night, and we were able to walk to the hotel, the Nest, and Shanty Town. During our stay, two fawn and their mom were hanging around the yard on multiple days. The kitchen is fully stocked and with pans that didn’t make eggs stick to them! We felt at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Stacy was wonderful, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. We’ve never been brave enough to trek up for the winter, but all of us agreed that this is the house that would have us come back in the snow.

Very nice and relaxing

Had a very nice week with friends and family, we weren’t sure if we would be including the kids on the trip when we made the initial reservation were planning it to be just a golf trip but glad we decided to bring them both the house and surrounding area location are very family oriented. Lots to do both at the house for the kiddos and the surrounding area. Lots of sightseeing and lake activities. Wonderful family or just adult location, will definitely be back. House was very nicely kept and clean, decently updated as well and plenty of room for us all.

It is really nice to have a home away from home to retreat too. Stacey is always extremely quick to respond and has the property exactly as advertised upon arrival.

New Years get away

Our family of four and our two in-laws stayed here over New Years. The home had plenty of space on the main floor as well as the lower level. We didn't even need to utilize the lower level at all but is a great option for larger groups. Great location with short drives into town or to Schuss. Home is well stocked with all the necessities. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is in a perfect location; close to Torch Lake for boating, golf courses, Charlevoix and Traverse City. Bellaire is also a great little town with some good restaurants and small shops. The property is lovely. The home is clean and very comfortable with special touches and a well outfitted kitchen.
