Perfect Ski Weekend Condo

If I could give 10 stars I would! The host is an absolute pleasure to talk to! Excellent communication and response time. We had a group of 8 for a ski weekend. The condo location is great, you can see the lifts from the balcony. You are at the lifts in minutes. Condo has everything you need including box fans in each room (love that!) and a fireplace you can actually use. Thank you for a great weekend!

Ski weekend

Worked great for our group. FYI the bed in the upper and lower masters are actually King beds which is a bonus. We were unable to open the guide from the property manager. Link wouldn’t open. He was super responsive. We would stay here again. Note you do have to lug your stuff up some tight wooden steps no not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Can literally walk across the golf course - 2 mins to ski. Perfect

Wonderful Weekend Away

We had a wonderful time staying at Skyview Hideaway. The house was spacious and full of thoughtful touches to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. The host was thoughtful with the welcome information and although we didn't have much time there, we appreciated the suggestions on activities and dining. We would recommend this loding to anyone and hope to visit again.

Family golf weekend

We had a great time relaxing, playing games at the condo after a beautiful day golfing. There wasn’t anything going on on the property, but there was stuff close by. Would have loved to relax in the hot tub, but it was not working when we were there. The pool and sauna were still open. Wish the chair lifts were open and accessable walking trails onsite. We did take a ride to the sky bridge and did our walking there. Gorgeous views!!

Michigan trip

We liked the condo very much. It had just the right amount of beds and two large bathrooms, one on each floor. The condo was well supplied with paper products, dishwasher detergent, etc. The kitchen was very small, but adequate. My daughter’s family stayed upstairs and even with the ac on, it was hot in their room. The younger girls stayed in the bedroom with 3 beds. They loved it. Wish it would have been a little closer to Traverse City, but the golf was great as was the pool at Lakeview. What a view!! My daughter was disappointed that the workout facility wasn’t open to us. All in all a great trip and stay in Michigan by OSU Buckeyes😍

Birthday Ski Weekend

We had a wonderful experience! The views of the ski hill were incredible, the location made it easy to swing back for lunch mid day, and the GOLDEN TEE was the coolest feature. My kids spent more time competing for the number 1 position. We will 100% be back in the future!

Clean, Relaxing, Great View

This condo was wonderful! It was very clean and very well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the space was perfect for our family of 5. The host was extremely helpful - they even have their own app with all the information about the place that you could ever want! Bonus was a great view of the ski slopes. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving getaway so relaxing and enjoyable!

Relaxingly Clean

Great place to stay! This place exceeded all expectations. Very clean and relaxing. Very homey and inviting. All needs taken care of. Host was very hospitable and great at communication. Loved the guide link with map, instructions and tips on the area. Great morning views with inviting balcony to have coffee and just take in the quiet nature. Easy instructions for guests on services available in Shanty Creek. We didn't go to the pool but nice to know it was there if we wanted to. All in all it made for a great Girls Weekend.

Great stay

I am very particular when staying with my young children on how clean a place is. We usually stay in hotel. The property was immaculate and the owners attentive and kind with any questions we had. Response Time was almost immeadiate. We would definitely stay here again while visiting torch. Upon arriving home we had accidentally left our mums wallet and the cleaners found it…. She was leaving the next day for England they proceeded to overnight it to our home the that day! We are greatful thank you!

Galbraith Girls weekend

The property was great, the directions were a little confusing, didn't mention the Villa name in it, we passed It a few times looking for a building number. It did list 2 outdoor pools, but there was only a small one on the property. It was nice and clean, just small. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very nice and answered all of our questions. Comfy beds, nice view or the golf course and very quiet neighbors.

Why they chose this property

I grew learning to ski at Schuss Mountain. so many memories of heading Upnorth for the weekend with my parents, with early morning pre-ski breakfasts in our rented condos, and after ski pre-made, warmed in the oven lasagnas! I wanted to have a place for my kids to learn to ski and make incredible, life long memories.

What makes this property unique

With a view of the golf course and the ski hill, you get the best of both worlds and of all seasons!
