Shanty Creek 4-Season Chalet: Skiing, Lakes, Golf Courses & Trails

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 lot with mature trees, 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, 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, children's play area, 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 minutes 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.

Nearby Towns & Attractions

Visit charming downtown Bellaire, stop by Short’s Brewery, explore the shops in Alden and Elk Rapids, or head to Traverse City (45 minutes) for beaches, dining, and shopping. Dockside Restaurant on Torch Lake is a guest favorite for lakeside meals.

On-Site Outdoor Living

After a full day out, return to the chalet to relax and reconnect. Enjoy the fire pit, grill dinner on the gas BBQ, challenge friends to corn hole, or unwind on the spacious deck surrounded by trees. There’s plenty of outdoor room for kids to play and adults to enjoy the fresh air.

Very well maintained property. Had everything we needed for our summer vacation. Lots of room for everyone. The kids loved the pool at the resort and then also the beaches. The adults enjoyed playing pickleball and visiting Short's and Bee Well Mead & Cider. Close to everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Bringing friends together

It was a great place for 6 teens to hang out together making memories. They used the entry level with lots of beds, full bathroom, mini fridge, sink, TV, and washer/dryer. With three more bedrooms and 2 more full bathrooms on the main and 3rd floor the adults had room to relax. Bonus set of washer dryer on main floor and wonderful views of the property from the great room. Had a great time, thanks.

Christmas ski weekend

We brought our adult kids here to ski for a Christmas family gift. The accommodations were exactly what we wanted. We had plenty of room for married kids and single kids and kids under 2. Kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. The only thing we could not control was the weather. Skiing was not great, warm and rainy but some skiing and swimming and playing games at the house still made the time a success.

Gorgeous Home

This was a gorgeous home in a beautiful nature setting. We saw multiple deer right from the deck. Great size house for our large family. The second living room with kitchenette really came in handy. You just can't beat having three bathrooms. Awesome kitchen too. We all had a blast. Will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful woodland home.

The property owners were very understanding and supportive, regarding our experience. The house had everything, including a backup generator that came inn handy. If you like seeing deer and turkeys outside the the kitchen window, this the place for you. Thank you Manteys...

Annual Family Ski Trip

This is a beautiful home, filled with all the amenities you will need for a long weekend of skiing. As you walk in the front door, you will discover a very practical room off the foyer to store your ski equipment during your stay. This is the first home we have seen with this feature. It was wonderful!! This house is so spacious, our family group of 16 never felt crowded. There are three levels with bedrooms and bathrooms on each level, plus two separate living areas. The kids enjoyed the lower level and the adults the main Livingroom level. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, dishes, and spices. You don't need to bring anything extra with you. (Just lots of food!) This house is situated very close to Summit Village, but not far from the ski hills. Our hostess was a joy to work with, very friendly and always available to talk to. Our family will definitely return to this home to make more awesome memories. Thank-you Kathy!!!
