HUGE CONDO- Epic Shanty Creek Location, Private Sauna, Pool Table, Foosball

Our newly renovated condo is your home away home. Located at Trappers Lodge, in the heart of Shanty Creek Resort, The Outdoors is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom 2 level condo with over 2100 square feet. It’s prime location also allows you easy walking distance to restaurants, golf, tennis, pools, wellness spa, and so much more.
The space
With 2 master bedrooms on the main floor, fully furnished kitchen, beautiful wood burning fireplace in open concept great room (with complimentary firewood) you will be sure to feel relaxed the minute you arrive. The lower level offers an additional bedroom and bath and rec room featuring a pool table and private sauna.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect family getaway or a couple’s weekend retreat, The Outdoors, is the perfect place for you. It’s the condo that everyone wishes they could stay at. You know the one people see as they are strolling around the resort. The one that makes them say, “Wow, wouldn’t it be cool to stay at that place?!” or “Can you imagine waking up with this as the view out your window?”. I’m sure your kids have said, “Can we go to the pool? (or park, or basketball court, or tennis court, or tubing hill)” …when you stay at The Outdoors, your answer can easily be yes to any of these, all while you relax on the deck or by the fire perhaps with your favorite beverage.
Shanty Creek and the beautiful Bellaire area provide you with activities all year long. Shanty Creek offers: 4 Championship Golf Courses, 46 ski runs, terrain parks, and tubing hill, and numerous other amenities such as 30 kilometers of cross-country trails, 3 indoor/outdoor pools, wellness spa, nearby lakes and several dining options. The resort offers a free shuttle to Bellaire (a quick 5-mile trip) where you will find shops, restaurants, and entertainment for all. Interested in hiking or mountain bike trails? You will find Glacial Hills which features 31.5 miles of hiking, mountain biking and winter sports.
Is it summer memories you’re after? The Outdoors provides you with access to the private Summit Beach Club on Lake Bellaire or you can travel a bit further to visit Torch lake, Traverse City, Petosky or Charlevoix. Sleeping Bear dunes and Lake Michigan are an easy 45-minute care ride. Paddle board or canoe through the chain of lakes or rent a jet ski or pontoon and cruise through with ease. Come back to The Outdoors and cook s’mores on our fire pit while watching falling stars under a stellar norther sky.
With a silver medal from Golf Digest, recognition from Condé Nast Traveler (“Top Golf Resorts in the World”), and two courses ranked among Michigan's Top 20 by Golf Magazine, choosing Shanty Creek for your Midwest golf trip is a safer bet than your approach shot on Arnold Palmer's masterpiece, The Legend #7.

great little getaway
We really had a perfect stay! The condo is really big, and perfect for the kids downstairs. The private beach was our family favorite. It was really close, clean, and we got lucky to be the only ones there both times! The indoor pool was useful for the rainy day. The communication was perfect-could not ask for better!

Girls weekend
Location was perfect for having a large group being so close to a restaurant and bar. We tried to use the shuttle the resort offers but we were informed it is now only for hotel guests. Another thing that was left out of the listing was that a pass is needed for the beach area. Very short distance to downtown bellaire! Host was very responsive and helpful the entire stay

Plenty of space and responsive owner!
Great central location for alot of area activities. Loved the games in basement and walk out to a beautiful view in backyard. Geared towards groups as there isn't an obvious primary bedroom which worked for us but just FYI. Internet and cable was spotty until we realized box was unplugged in basement. Owner was responsive to issue. Parking can be problematic if busy. Resort amenities not always available in off season. Met our expectations overall!

Shanty fam trip
3 generations had plenty of room in this condo and that was our primary concern. Golf was great for the guys. We cooked almost nightly and space was limited as was food storage options and serving spoons, so bring your own! A/C wasnt working correctly and owner was quick to offer help. Beds comfy!

Annual golf trip with friends and decided to do Shanty Creek this year. Great experience. Location and amenities in condo and on premise are top notch. One thing to consider is that not many things are open in the area on Sunday so plan accordingly.

Family vacation
Our family of 6 enjoyed our time at the condo. The unit was spacious and clean, the older kids loved having their own space in the lower level. It was walkable to the playground, restaurants at the resort and the pool. We also took advantage of the lake access and had fun at the beach. The owners were responsive when we had an issue with the ac and acted swiftly to fix the problem. All-in, we had a really nice vacation and would definitely stay again.

Great week, perfect for a family gathering
The condo was as described, two bedrooms on the main floor, each having 2 queen beds and their own bathroom. Downstairs adjacent to game room/great room is another bedroom space (no door) and another full bathroom with sauna, plus two sets of bunk beds. Fully equipped kitchen which we used every day. Perfect for our family vacation (3 generations). Would definitely rent again. Fire pit is right outside our back door, and playground is just a few steps away, as is the lodge/hotel which has an indoor pool, outdoor pool, Starbucks, and restaurant. Also just steps away is an adult pub and Sarducci's restaurant which has a menu that satisfied us all (tall order!) What wasn't clear in the listing was the location of the beach. You have to drive to it, but only about 5 minutes. Turn left out of the lodge parking lot and drive to Shanty Creek Road. Turn left and go a couple of miles where it dead-ends into Route 88. Turn left on 88, and travel about a mile past the Dollar General. There is a small sign at the turnoff that indicates a boat launch- that is the turnoff for the beach as well. There's decent parking there, shaded areas for picnicking, nice playground, restrooms, and plenty of beach chairs. Water is very shallow with a gradual slope, even smaller children can wade out pretty far without going over their waist. We made good use of the beach area throughout the week. Loved this vacation, will definitely return in the future!

We enjoyed our stay here. We love that the pool was walkable and the little boys could play in the sandbox/playground. The beach (short drive) has grills, ping pong, and pickle ball courts. We would definitely stay again.

The condo was nice, it fit our group of 12 adults and did not feel crowded. The views were great, the most convenient part was the walkable bars associated with Shanty Creek. Owners were responsive and timely with communications. Would stay again!

Annual Ski trip
Upon arrival, I was very confused by the online description and what I was pulling into. I thought it was the wrong address, due to the online description, states walking distance from ski hill. This is not walking distance from any ski hill, it is a 10 minute drive from any ski hill that is currently in service. The chairlift shown in the pictures is outside the small second floor deck, but has not ran since 2017 and when it did run it only ran a small 5 trail ski hill. The fire pit outside was a rusted old fire ring that had yellow caution tape on it. The basement is not a walk-out unless u want to walk out under the stairs of other complexes. The accommodations were clean, but a small kitchen, dining room and living room that could only accommodate comfortably 6-7 and only 4 eating at a table. This is a 2 floor condominium without access to a ski hill without a drive, but listed, priced and pictured as it is right on the ski hill. The listing is very misleading, my family and guests we invited on this annual ski trip were very disappointed when we arrived to find out we would be driving 3 kids under 10 and 3 teenagers back and forth, to a completely different area to ski each day. PLEASE READ before booking so that you know what you are getting into.

Not a ski in ski out
We went to the property to ski at schuss mountain. It is a short drive with an optional shuttle to Schuss. Also, it’s about a 25 minute drive to Boyne Mountain. The property was very clean. We enjoyed the Sauna and the fireplace. Fit our group of 8 perfect. We were disappointed to see this is not a ski in ski out. Which is the main reason we rented the property to keep our kids busy. It is my understanding that the lift hasn’t been operating in 2 years. The description and pictures need to be updated.
