Gorgeous Chalet in the Hardwoods - Access to Pools, Minutes to Golf!

Welcome to the Shanty Creek Treehouse!

Located within the fabulous Shanty Creek/Schuss Mountain resort area, the Treehouse is perfectly located to take advantage of four seasons of Northern Michigan splendor!  Sitting in the hardwood forest, the Treehouse is only minutes from skiing, pools, golf, lakes and outstanding restaurants.  This Austrian inspired chalet has just been completely renovated with 3 comfy bedrooms,  a custom recreation room and a wrap- around deck.  With an open, airy layout and a treehouse view of the woods, it’s the perfect place to spread out and relax with family and friends.  You’re right in the middle of all the amenities and fun you expect in the beautiful Shanty Creek area!

In the milder months, there's plenty to do here. Drive the kids a couple minutes over to the Lakeview hotel to swim in the outdoor pool at the top of the ski hill (with a great view of Lake Bellaire a couple miles away!)  Put in a few holes at the most picturesque golf courses in the state.  Take a 15-minute drive out to gorgeous Torch Lake.  Hike, bike and play on some of Michigan's most beautiful and well-kept trails.  Climb to the top of Schuss Mountain. Thehouse is located in a beautiful, wooded neighborhood full of paved, gently rolling streets and paths and is great for bike riding.  There are many mountain biking trails around the area as well - the beautiful Glacial Hills bike trail system is only 10 minutes away. Or maybe just sit out on the deck with your morning coffee; high up in the trees, you'll hear only the whispering hardwoods and occasional chickadee. 

For the colder months, the family friendly Schuss Mountain (or the "Kingdom of Schuss" as we call it) offers the very best skiing and snowboarding around.  Trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing are within minutes of the Treehouse, as are trails for riding your Fat Mountain Bikes. We have membership access to two indoor pools and hot tubs at Schuss and Summit villages, also only a few minutes' drive.  When the day is done, curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book and good company. 

The Treehouse sleeps 8+ comfortably and offers a full kitchen, two full bathrooms, large, comfy bedrooms, and a spacious rec room with a pool table.  Wi-Fi, cable TV, in-house laundry facilities, and a pack n play type crib are also included.

The Bellaire area offers access to hundreds of attractions. Shanty Creek boasts four championship golf courses: Cedar River (Weiskopf), The Legend (Palmer), Schuss Mountain Course, and Summit Course. In addition, other excellent courses are conveniently located nearby. Take a short trip to Lake Bellaire, Torch Lake, or Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan for swimming or boating, or enjoy a nice, relaxing canoe ride down the Jordan river.

We look forward to hosting you, your family, and friends at the Shanty Creek Treehouse - your comfortable home base for an incredible up-north experience!

This property is perfect for a family with teens or young adults. With a family room, pool table, and 2 bedrooms on one floor for the kids. Then another family room, dining room, kitchen, and one bedroom. Very close to the ski hill with a nice pool and hot tub.

Cozy Cabin in the Trees

I recently stayed at the Shanty Creek Treehouse in Michigan, and it was the perfect getaway for our group of nine. From the moment we arrived, the cabin felt like a true home away from home. The rustic charm was complemented by modern touches, making it both inviting and comfortable.One of the highlights was the vintage fireplace in the living room. It was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the area or playing in the snow. The warmth and ambiance it provided made the evenings feel extra special. We also loved the pool table in the game room — a great addition for some friendly competition and laughter. The space was big enough for all of us to enjoy without feeling cramped.The cabin comfortably accommodated nine people, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The bedrooms were cozy and well-appointed, and we woke up to beautiful views of the surrounding forest.Schuss Mountain itself was peaceful and serene, offering a sense of seclusion, but still close enough to local attractions for easy day trips. Whether we were lounging by the fire, playing pool, or simply enjoying the quiet outdoors, every moment felt relaxing and rejuvenating.If you're looking for a cabin that combines comfort, warmth, and fun, this is the place. It's the ideal retreat for families or groups looking to escape and recharge in a stunning Michigan setting. Highly recommend!One word of caution the area is very hilly if there is snow you will need 4 wheel drive.

Anniversary Weekend

Overall, it was a fantastic trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the property and would definitely stay again. The mid-century modern design, and the actual fireplace in the living room is a unique feature. The living area is spacious, and the bedrooms are well-proportioned. However, I have a few suggestions for future renters. Firstly, it would be great to include a variety of pillows in the bedrooms to cater to different sleeping preferences. The current pillows are primarily designed for back sleepers and are quite flat and hard for side sleepers. Secondly, it would be helpful to provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the showers, as none are currently available.

Amazing property!

The Treehouse is a fantastic space to gather! We were there for nearly a week and loved the location, the space itself, the patio and fire pit, and the pool table. Easy check-in and check-out and great communication from the hosts made this one a winner and we will definitely be back! The only this that could make this spot better is a drying rack and pad for dishes with some more kitchen linens! 10/10 would recommend!!

The Treehouse was a great place to stay for 2 couples and our sons. We love the Bellaire area and the house was in a very quiet setting. The house is well kept, everything worked. We enjoyed a few games of billiards and a chilly evening on the deck with a nice fire.

Great Set Up for Big Families

We had a great time staying at the tree house. We have 7 kids. The room with the bunkbeds has an extra trundle bed, so 5 of them could fit comfortably in one room. We had all of our meals at the cabin. The kitchen is set up well for cooking. Everyone enjoyed the tv /game room with the pool table. Finally, thanks to our host Joe for going the extra mile to make sure we could swim at the Lakeview hotel. He was very responsive whenever I texted a question. One tip - bring extra towels to swim. Lakeview hotel (which you have access to through the condo association) no longer provides towels at the pool itself. Thanks again!!!

Peaceful stay at the Tree House

The Tree house was exactly as described. It was extremely clean and felt so cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed that the kitchen was open to the dining/living room. The view from the huge windows overlooking the deck was beautiful and peaceful. You truly felt you were up in the trees! The communication with our hosts before arriving was very clear and helpful. We didn’t need to reach out during our stay because everything was wonderful! We’d love to return perhaps in the fall when the leaves are all changing colors. 😊 Thanks for a great stay!

The property and amenities were ok...

The house itself was decent and clean but was very poorly lit. Being there in the dark fall/winter months, any time I entered a room I tried to turn on more lights but there weren't any more to turn on. (Several of the lights would strobe so you'd have to keep them off). When I asked the owner about it, he said it was an old house and that is just the way it is. Since we were there around Thanksgiving. All of the activities at the resort were shut down, including one of the indoor pools. That was a bummer and I wish date ranges for activities would have been in the description for the property. Probably would not stay here again.
