About this place

Relax at a private ½-acre chalet with pools, shared hot tub, beach club access, fire pit, deck, and unbeatable access to skiing and lakes.

Escape to a private four-season chalet on a quiet dead-end street in Shanty Creek Resort—perfect for families and groups looking for adventure, relaxation, and year-round fun. Set on a ½-acre wooded lot, this well-kept getaway offers nine comfortable beds, space for everyone to unwind, and unbeatable access to the best of Northern Michigan.

Resort Amenities Included

Guests enjoy full access to the indoor and outdoor pools, shared hot tub, tennis, disc golf, bike rentals, and restaurant at Lakeview Hotel—just minutes from the chalet. In summer, you’ll also have a pass to the private Bellaire Beach Club on Lake Bellaire, offering lounge chairs, basketball, pickleball, grills, and a perfect place to spend the day by the water.

Winter Fun

Ski, snowboard, cross-country ski, and tube at Schuss and Summit Mountains, only moments away. Snowmobile directly from the chalet to reach the trail network, with plenty of space in the garage for storing equipment. Boyne Mountain is just 30 miles away for even more winter adventure.

Golfing Paradise

Tee off at four of Michigan’s top courses—The Legend (Arnold Palmer), Cedar River (Tom Weiskopf), Schuss Mountain, and Summit. Daily golf specials make it easy to explore them all.

Summer on the Chain of Lakes

Just minutes from Lake Bellaire, part of the famous Chain of Lakes including Torch Lake, you’ll be perfectly positioned for boating, fishing, swimming, and lake days. Bring your own boat or rent from nearby marinas. The public boat launch is less than 3 miles from the chalet.

Biking & Hiking

Explore 31.5 miles of trails at Glacial Hills—only 12 minutes (6 miles) from the chalet. Grass River Natural Area is 12 minutes (7.2 miles) away with boardwalks, wildlife, and serene Northern Michigan landscapes.
