About this property

Snowdrift Lodge at Schuss Village Shanty Creek

Snowdrift Lodge is your cozy escape to the heart of Northern Michigan, tucked into the peaceful woods of Schuss Village at Shanty Creek Resort. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo sits along the 2nd green of the Schuss Mountain Golf Course, offering a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and resort fun.

Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen designed for easy meals and gathering, with seating for seven—four at the dining table and three at the bar. The open living area features large windows that frame beautiful views of the Schuss Mountain Golf Course, bringing the outdoors in year-round.

Step outside to your private deck with a grill, ideal for summer dinners after a day on the course, trails, or slopes. Just steps from the condo is the seasonal outdoor pool, open Memorial Day through Labor Day—no driving required, just grab a towel and go.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the review. The condo is decorated with a 70's theme. All of the furnishings are new - the owner just chose to go with the ZodLounge theme for the update. Thanks for being our guest!
