Wonderful getaway
What a lovely place to stay! The house was pristine and had all the amenities we needed as a group of seven. The location was perfect for day trips to Torch Lake, Lake Huron and Lake Superior and Sleeping Bear Dunes. And we loved the benefit of going to the resort pool each night!

Great stay
This was a great spot for our family of 5 and we had room to spare. The house is towards the end of a dead end street so it was nice and quiet, and was very clean upon arrival. The house was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Everyone slept great on the comfortable beds and we enjoyed bonfires every night. We didn't have any issues while we were there, but I communicated with the owner a few times before arrival and after departure and she was very responsive. Shanty Creek is a huge property. We drove to the pools but also enjoyed some walks through the neighborhoods. Had a great time and would definitely consider coming back to this house.

Perfect weekend getaway up north
This location was an amazing surprise. We were looking for somewhere to stay near torch lake, and chose this as a more affordable place to stay for the family, and wow am I so glad we did!! The Shanty Creek area was an awesome destination alone, and torch lake was just an easy short drive away (and a MUST go to while in the area). Shanty Creek is so beautiful, the included pools you get access to are awesome, and there's tons of nice golf courses all around this resort area. I'm sure the skiing in the winter is just as great or better too! This house was so cozy and even prettier in person. Everything was clean, and the beds were comfortable. Only con in the summer was there was no AC, but fans were provided in the bedrooms to help - which was much appreciated. The main floor was a comfortable temperature and no problem at all. Overall we had the best trip and I will definitely stay here again!!

Just one issue
Everything was fine except the stairs to the second floor. They are about 1/2 the depth and height of what they should be, I guess they have no building code in Michigan. I tripped twice going up and once coming down

Shanty Creek Stay
Well kept property, Very quiet and peaceful setting. Our host Jennifer was 5 Star when it came to responding to emails or phone calls, she always made us feel welcomed and was always available for questions or concerns. Our only reason for the 4 star rating is the fact that there is no air conditioning and we had a small problem with ants in the bedrooms but not in the downstairs kitchen or living room areas . Overall I would recommend staying at this unit and would definitely stay again if traveling in this area again.

This was was a wonderful option for my family! Conveniently close to the lake and a good in between destination for Mackinaw. It is quiet and despite the lack of central air it was still quite cool with just the windows and fans. We will definitely stay again!

Great location
This home is 1 hour to each Traverse, Charlevoix, Petoskey. Just 18 minutes to Torch Lake, little over an hour to Mackinac. 1 small downside was the lack of AC, but it was cooler with ceiling fans in bedrooms and couple box fans provided. Over Great space and host was communicating regularly and quickly.

Excellent location
This house is in an absolutely excellent location, and excellent communication with the property manager. The stairs leading to the second floor are no joke. They are very shallow, and not for the faint of heart. Definitely a fall risk. The stove and oven need a good cleaning, as does the refrigerator. But the sheets and towels were fresh and perfect. Overall it was a great stay. I just think the whole place needs a big cleaning.

Updated Cabin close to the ski hill
The owners did a nice job of updating while still keeping the wooded cabin feel. Although the living room is a little tight there was plenty of room for my family of 5. We had a nice ski weekend and each boy was able to have his own room. Was perfect for our size family. Not too big, not too small. Perfect location only a couple minute drive from the base of the ski resort. Beautiful private wooded setting.

Nice Getaway for Skiing
Our family of 5 enjoyed this location for a lovely long weekend of skiing at Shanty Creek. Our favorite part of the house was the wood-burning fireplace! The house is what you expect to see as it is listed. The only thing that would've made our stay more excellent was shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower. We did not bring some of those items & the home only had hand soap. That is on us, I suppose; however, it's the small things that make a trip outstanding.

Rustic experience- cute inside
Good location to torch lake, charlevoix and boyne city. Cute inside with nice sheets and blankets. Adorably decorated. A little small living area, but it was big enough for our family of 5. It didn’t have AC but it stayed at around 71-72 degrees without it, probably because it’s nestled in the woods. There are fans there to use. We were comfortable.
