15 Minutes to Torch Lake and 5 min to the Village of Bellaire

"Nestled in the heart of natural beauty, our condo offers a clean and cozy retreat just moments away from Torch Lake, Lake Bellaire, and Clam Lake. Conveniently situated within walking distance to Shanty Creek Resort, guests can easily access the resort's golf courses, pools, and summit restaurants. While the ski hill is currently closed, our condo remains a charming base for exploring the area's attractions. During the winter months, enjoy ski-in, ski-out access (pending resort opening the hill; please verify with the resort). Additionally, take advantage of the resort's complimentary shuttles to nearby ski mountains and town during peak times. And don't forget to soak in the breathtaking sunset views right from the comfort of your own space and enjoy the warmth of a real wood fireplace. ( Pool Pass And fire wood included)"

Excellent get-away
This condo was perfect for 6 of us to stay there comfortably - plenty of space and a cozy cabin feel that still made us all feel connected. The kitchen was beautifully stocked with cookware, the beds were very comfortable, and the pool/hot tub were excellent bonuses. Dale was quick to respond to my questions. We're planning on returning next year!

Very enjoyable week-long family vacation Up North
Nice location at Shanty Creek resort w/easy access to main building, tennis courts, fitness area, etc. Close to Bellaire & many other areas, multiple golf courses & other nearby activities. Second year we've stayed in this area, last year renting a condo more in the Schuss Mountain neighborhood. Quieter there, but further from many other resort amenities.

Summer in Northern Michigan!
Dale's condo at Shanty Creek resort lived up to all of the photos and description. We had 2 large bedrooms with 2 full beds each, 2 full baths, a well equipped kitchen (tons of pots/pans/dishes/glasses, even a crock pot!), in-unit laundry, and a living room with fireplace/big TV, board games/books, and a nice view of slopes off the deck. We were treated to a passing gaggle of wild turkeys outside on a few mornings! In addition, we also took advantage of access to the Shanty Creek outdoor and indoor pools. They are a very short walk from the unit. Check-in was easy with the supplied access code. Dale also checked in with us via text to see how we settled in. I would recommend this property as a home-base for your outdoor northern Michigan adventures!

Summer Vacation
The place was wonderful and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The place was decorated with cabin like decorations which we really liked. We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor pool, as well as, the Beach Club. The area was older and a bit rustic outside, which we liked. Not sure there is still skiing there, but we came in summer and it was perfect for us. I would recommend.

Nice place
This place was very clean and tidy. Only down side is we thought it had a Keurig so we brought the pods but that was not the case it was an actual coffee pot. It also now says ski-in/ski-out when hill is open, but when we were there the hill didn't look like it had been open in years. Would definitely stay again as it was perfect for our little group getaway.

Close to City of Bellaire. Nice small town with good restaurants and shops. Great hiking and cycling nearby. Loved Glacial Hills trails. Close to many lakes. We had access to the beach club on Lake Bellaire. When staying at Shanty Creek you have access to three beautiful golf courses. The property itself was very comfortable. Loved the woodland decor. Had a washer and dryer which was nice and the kitchen was well equipped.

Comfortable hideaway
Dale's two bedroom condominium is comfortable, clean, and convenient to the shops and restaurants in Summit Village. He was very responsive and flexibly accommodated a last minute travel change even though VRBO's terms did not require it (thanks, Dale!). Fitness center access ($10/day) is not included. The condo Wi-Fi is very unreliable, but Dale said he would investigate.

Condo living
the facilities were comfortable but we had a few concerns: never got the television to work; no facial tissues, no bar soap in bath rooms; no bath mat in bathroom; no plastic wrap or foil in the kitchen. Also, why do the guests have to have the dishwasher emptied before they leave? It was a long walk from the parking lot to the unit.

Great winter getaway!
This spacious condo was perfect for our family of 4 winter ski weekend! It was cute, clean and had spectacular views! The kids enjoyed using the pool at the nearby Lodge. I would highly recommend alpine tubing if you have the time. And of course, the slopes at Shanty Creek did not disappoint! It sits on the top of Summit mountain ( not Schuss), which did not happen to be open when we were there so we couldn’t enjoy the ski in/ ski out feature. Staff said that hill has been closed since 2019 for repairs. We did however use the shuttle bus to and from schuss. It was only a 5 or 10 minute ride and was very convenient. Great amenities included with this condo. We will be back for sure!!!

Bellaire
We really enjoyed the property and the view from the rooms! Tons of wildlife, It was very clean and had everything you need to cook in the kitchen which we did the whole time we visited. I'd also recommend using the boat rental place they suggest they were so amazing and helpful. You are close to a grocery store , and some good shopping places Bellaire and Alden! (Mill house spice is our number one stop when he comes up). There is an awesome trail head pretty close by to! It's about 45 mins from traverse City depending where you want to go, we will definitely be staying again A couple things in the listing I'd like to point out *USE THE BEACH CLUB PASS! We didn't take advantage of it as we had our trip mostly planned and decided to on our last day before we left and we would of definitely squeezed in going everyday! It was beautiful and had so much sporting equipment and a awesome beach and play area (we had kids 6/8) The pool was really nice also so definitely use the pass! Grills - so it says there are grills available to use they are pretty far from the rooms themselves and they were not clean, that did cause a hitch in our cooking plans but we were able to make due with the kitchen, Fire pits - so there is a fire pit to share not a private one it was available the whole time we were there it does say that in the listing but I just wanted to add there is about 5 of them out there so if you go out early enough we snagged one the entire time . There is wood to!

Great property!
We can’t say enough great things about our stay and Dale’s beautiful condo! It was everything we could have hoped for. Right from the start communication was excellent. Check in was flawless and our one question was answered promptly. The kitchen is as well stocked as my own, the furniture was comfortable and the bedrooms were clean. Getting to the restaurant was a 2 minute walk and the food was excellent. I wish I could attach pictures of the view, the deer, and the turkeys off the deck. This unit will be our first choice for next year’s color tour. Petoskey, Torch Lake, Suttons, and Leelanau (Fish Town) were all easy beautiful drives that brought us back to Shanty Creek in time for dinner. Thank you Dale for a great stay!
