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.

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.

Great condo for larger party

Very well furnished unit. Comfortable family room/kitchen area for our group of 4. More than we probably needed but really enjoyed our stay.

Golf trip 2023

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!

Great place, spacious, all amenities walkable!

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.

After the first walk through of this condo we knew it was more than perfect with what it had to offer and it's perfect location!! If you are into skiing, biking, golfing and/or soaking up the sun around pools and beaches, than this is where you want to be!
