Shanty Creek Treehouse

Located within the beautiful Shanty Creek/Schuss Mountain resort area, the Treehouse is perfectly located to take advantage of four seasons of Northern Michigan splendor! Sitting high in the hardwood forest, the Treehouse is only minutes from pools (included with your stay), lakes, restaurants and the area`s finest golf courses. 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 indoor pool / hot tub at Schuss Village. Put in a few holes at the most picturesque golf courses in the state. Take a 15-minute drive out to gorgeous Torch Lake (the `Carribean of the north`!). Hike, bike and play on some of Michigan`s most beautiful and well-kept trails. Climb to the top of Schuss Mountain. The house 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. 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 with complimentary coffee and tea, two full bathrooms, large, comfy bedrooms, and a spacious rec room with a pool table and video games 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 five championship golf courses: Cedar River (Weiskopf), The Legend (Palmer), Schuss Mountain Course, Summit Course and Hawkseye. 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. (NOTE- when you book with us we`ll send you our complete list of personal favorites for bars, restaurants and the area`s `hidden gems` you`ll want to check out!)



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!
