Gorgeous Chalet in the trees w/access to Pools & 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!

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!

Ski Weekend at Schuss
Beautiful ski cabin in the woods, right on the shanty creek property. Large enough for a big family, but cozy enough for a small group. Open floor plan with retro fireplace. Game room in lower level with pool table and old-school Atari!! Five minute drive to Schuss, Summit and Short's Brewery. We will be back next year.

Love this place
This was the second time we stayed in this house. Only issue was a problem with the mini-split heaters but backup baseboard heaters did the job. Will stay there again.

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.

Amazing property and great communication with hosts!
Incredible experience staying at your gorgeous chalet! We visited in the fall and felt like we were truly living amongst the trees! The place was immaculately clean and had all needed amenities! Loved cozying up in the evenings with the fireplace and looking out at the fall colors surrounding us! Thank you!!

Bellaire Stay
My husband and I had a very nice stay at this Bellaire chalet. It was exactly as described and as the pictures depicted. It was a central location for a trip to Traverse City one day and Boyne City another day which was especially beautiful with the fall colors. The house was comfortable and homey.

Charming and Magical
My childhood friends and I plan an annual girls trip each year, always picking something different somewhere in Michigan. We’re in our 30’s now and take this weekend very seriously. I’m not sure that we will pick a different location next year, we loved this beautiful cozy cabin so much! To begin, Joe is absolutely amazing. He is incredibly welcoming and has really ironed out every detail you would need to have an unforgettable trip. He is a great communicator and makes himself available should you need anything. Although we did not need to reach out to him, because everything was already so organized and well communicated, I am confident that had we needed to, he would be there. The cabin was perfect. It’s designed to actually feel like you’re in a Northern MI ski lodge but still offers beautiful modern amenities. Cleanliness was a 10/10 too, and with a house full of ladies, we would have noticed otherwise. The surrounding area has so much to offer! Cute shops, and a perfect downtown area. Restaurant choices were great too! If you want something quick like fast food, those options are there. However, I recommend taking advantage of all the other restaurants that are in the area. We ate at Shanty Creek Bar and Grill which was very small but very impressive. We also visited Shorts, and were so impressed. This truly was a great stay. We wish we would have booked for at least a day or two longer.

Tree house
It was a little hard to find because my GPS had me going in circles. Once you do find it, it’s like a hidden gem. Very cosy, big and spacious. It was close to where we was going on torch lake. We spent a lot of time on the back patio with the fire pit. Played games and just enjoyed our time. It was very quiet. Everyone loved the house and enjoyed our time.
