The first-floor location makes unloading easy, and you’re within walking distance to the resort bar and restaurant, as well as just a short drive to downtown Bellaire and beautiful Torch Lake.

Nice property. It isn't huge but plenty of room for the three of us. Good location close to the ski slopes. The owner was great at communication. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay. Property was adequate for our needs. It was conveniently near family that we visited. Property manager was excellent and made the process very easy. Property was reasonably priced.
This condo is small but it has all the necesities. The location is good, the golf course is nice. We enjoyed spending a weekend there and visiting the area. Communication with the owner was easy.
We stayed at Play Hookie at Schuss for the Ride Around Torch, a bike tour going thru Alden, Bellaire, Rapid City and Elk Rapids. It was the perfect location. Condo was cute and clean. I wish I would have brought my golf clubs.
Very clean and spacious 'home away from home' condo that is close to all the action Schuss has to offer. As a leukemia survivor, we especially appreciated how well maintained the owners keep this property. Also, although we only used the kitchenette to prepare coffee, it is well stocked for cooking.
Thank you for sharing your property. We enjoyed our stay.
Property was fine , only issue was the smell of this place was that of something that never gets used or stays closed up for very long periods , the bathroom had a Oder of urine for some reason,
Very cute and clean 1 bedroom condo - on the golf course and listen to swampy frogs at night. Adorable features and all the needs of home for great price at schuss mountain. Access to 4 pools - we tried the 2 outdoor! Recommend. Minifridge nice but no freezer rack was my only surprise - for my ice packs - so bring own ice if want.
The only negative I could possibly say about our stay would be the fact there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom which caused the room to fog up. That made it difficult to get ready for my daughter and wife. We also could’ve used four towels for the amount of people we reserved the listing for. They only gave us 3 towels to use for 4 people. Other than that, it was clean and stocked w the essentials for a weekend getaway!
We chose this location because we have visited this area many times. Parents once owned a Condo just like this. We a comfortable in the area and enjoyed our relaxing getaway.
I was told all my findings and opinions on this property were untrue ! But ants all in kitchen up walls etc. has to toss food! Staff didn’t know where I goto for medicine after my daughter was stung by wasp! Smells of musty water. Wasn’t clean when walking in sinks etc. just wasn’t a fan at all!
While we didn't spend much time at the property, it was a nice place to stay the night while spending the weekend in the area for a wedding. The place was clean and as described. If we are in the area in the future, would stay again.
