Owner always responded right away. Two bedrooms each with a bathroom was perfect. The only downside was that the internet did not work. We had to pay and use our own hotspot to watch tv. The dock space was very convenient also. Loved clam lake/torch lake and will be back. ##### Kristi H.

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. ##### David W. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn F. 7 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Dawn F. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle A. 10 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 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. ##### Michelle A. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela V. 30 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Angela V. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Nancy Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda S. 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Linda S.

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. ##### Matt L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek S. 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Derek S.
