Awsome place close to shanty creek

Well kept with everything you need but the groceries. Full kitchen, three baths, three bedrooms, sleeps 10, great living room and three decks. Excellent! I also met housekeeping on the way out and she was a wonderful person who spoke highly of the owner. I suggest this place.

Family friendly

Was a great property. Clean, kitchen was very well stocked to accommodate the 9 of us that stayed. Amenities were easy to access. Parking outside the unit was a bit tight for our full sized truck, just an FYI for future guests. Overall was an excellent stay and would absolutely return!!

Nice family condo. Great location

Spacious interior, good layout (bathrooms, bedroom, commons), nice big kitchen family room and large screen TV. Easy walk access to the strip of resort bar and eatery spots, playground, and beautiful lake and slope views behind the hotel (which also has nice coffee bar, and eating choices early and late). You can park to unload at a lower lot that is best for unloading bags, but also use the higher lot to walk with little ones into the rest of the adjoining resort and head out in the car for day trips. Our first time to this area in Michigan and it was wonderful.

Great Property

We stayed here during a conference and split the cost between people. The house is great...actually larger than expected. We had some power issues, but that was something outside of the properties control. The maintenance was very quick to respond and get us going again. I would highly recommend this property for any larger group. There were 5 of us, and it was perfect.
