Perfect place for a couples weekend! My husband and I and two other couples (6 total stayed) stayed, to do a fall colors tour and exploring trip. We each had our own space and bathroom,which was quite nice. The host was quite helpful and helped out with a small inconvenience we encountered. We would definitely, book more stays in the future.

Place was very clean, the host was very responsive. Wish there was more "basic" necessities available in the condo though, such as shampoo, salt/pepper, small things like that. Overall a great stay though.

Prior to checkin I did receive our door code and where to park. That was it. Was not told where to find the pool pass or how to get the private beach access pass. My granddaughter just happened to find the pool pass hanging in the laundry room. Kitchen utensils were very limited. No tongs or updated cooking utensils. We finally found the folder with very limited instructions for where things are located. There was a delivery to the property owners which they did not let us know about, We were gone for the day and did not lock the door after the delivery. There was no information on checkout/ where to put the sheets from the bed and also the towels. Very little communication from property owners. My only real complaint about the actual condo/ was that the carpet area that was connected to the kitchen tile…you could feel the tack strips and when you walked barefoot it stabbed your feet.

Condo is very spacious and can’t beat the location at Shanty Creek. We loved being so close to the pools and restaurants. The Legend and Summit courses are also a short walk from the place, which was ideal. Definitely would stay here again next time we visit Shanty Creek. Thanks

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.

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.

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!!
