I recently retired from a career in hospitality and my husband wanted to do something special to celebrate. We invited 4 couples to join us that we have been friends with for 35 years. At this point of our life some of our guests had medical issues so we did not participate in the typical outdoor winter sports. We had a fun adventure in Bellaire and simply relaxed and enjoyed the house/ outdoor sauna. ##### Paula P.

This place was as accurate as the pictures showed and the owners had everything we needed for a nice 5 day stay. The design of it all was top notch. The furniture was great to sit in. The place smelled great and was clean and comfy. So relaxing and quiet in the woods it was the perfect escape and the drive to TC was only 50 minutes to spend part of the day there. We’ll for sure be booking this place again next year and the communication with James was great. ##### Eugene S.

The kitchen was central and had all the essentials we needed. There was a bedroom and bathroom on all 3 levels which was perfect for all the ladies.

The men in the family lived using the sauna. We got to see the Blue Angels in Traverse City, drove back to Grayling to canoe the AuSable, and ate fudge, cherries, and s'mores around the fire. Michigan up north at its best! ##### Stacy M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen D. 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for 2 families! We loved this house! We came up north with 5 kids and 4 adults. The way the house is set up was perfect. The downstairs had 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and super cool rec room. The kids loved playing the Pac-Man video game and our husbands enjoyed the Atari. 🙂 Upstairs was bright and airy, the views from the loft area were beautiful. There were plenty of seats for eating, a large island, and comfortable couches for relaxing. Everything was extremely clean. A cool extra was the sauna. Super fun! ##### Jen D.

Driving into Shanty Creek is like driving into a German Christmas Fairy Tale. The snow, the A-Frame houses, the quiet, it’s stunning. The house (and I cannot stress this enough) was IMMACULATE. My mother was impressed (and she’s difficult to impress!) Everything was so comfortable and cozy, and our favorite part was how well stocked the kitchen was. My sister and I are professional chefs and we came up here specifically to spend time with our immediate family, play games, hunt, and cook amazing food. I have never been in any rental property with such a beautiful and well stocked kitchen. they even had beautiful stemmed wine glasses (and we brought up A LOT of wine) and proper bourbon high balls! All in all, this was an absolutely perfect experience and we cannot wait to book again next year. PS… Thanks for sending the snow. It was the cherry on top. ##### Daniela A.
