Golf trip with friends

Fantastic house with everything you need! Did a golf trip with a large group of friends and it went as smooth as could be, not a single issue with the house. Correspondence with the property manager was easy and fast replies. Location is perfect to access everything the resort has to offer as well as being within a quick drive to Torch Lake. Highly suggest!

Fantastic House!

The house was perfect! We were there for a ski vacation with 4 families and had room to spare. The house was spotless and had everything you could need or want and was so close to Schuss. We even went to the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub one night. We had a great vacation!! We will be booking again!

Family Reunion

We hosted a family reunion for 3 days and had a wonderful time! The house was a perfect gathering place with ample overflow housing available just up the street at the the Lodges at Cedar River (either a hotel room or condo). many golf options, boating on Lake Bellaire and Torch Lake, shopping in Bellaire & Alden are all within 15-20 minutes. Highly recommend!

Awesome Place!

First we love the Shanty Creek area and stayed there many times. This is the best of all houses in Shanty Creek. The setting is fantastic looking over the green and right down the fairway of Cedar Creek hole #1. The first floor is big and open. We had a family gathering staying in two houses but using this house as the gathering spot. There was plenty of room with the adults upstairs and the kids down. The place was very clean, well laid out and as the pictures show, just beautiful.

Perfect getaway for a large group

Very comfortable and clean property on the Cedar River Golf course. Close to chain of lakes and hiking trails. Had a lot of fun. Great stay. Couple drawbacks were that the coffee machine was not clean and the garbage disposal was inconvenient. A suggestion would be for the cleaning crew to take the garbage from the garage at the end of the stay. Deck furniture had some wasp nests that should be removed.

Girls Weekend

This house is fabulous. 16 women and had plenty of room. We loved the comfort. We loved all the great pics and signs in house. We loved all the pillows on beds. The VIEW was spectacular. We loved cheering on the golfers (we used golf etiquette) We loved wood guy for stacking wood by fire pit, Natalie was a pleasure to work with. The ladies said this house we will return to. We have been renting homes for over 30 yrs for our group and this is at the top Thank you for sharing. The Beavers

Perfect Ski Weekend

This beautiful home was the perfect setting for several families to enjoy a family friend reunion. The home is very spacious for the adults to hang out on the main floor, and for the high school and college kids to have their own space on the lower level. Everyone had a bed to sleep in, and that is hard to come by! The kids loved the pool table and the accessibility to the ski hill. The adults loved gathering around the cozy fireplace, congregating (and dancing!) in the large kitchen and playing games around the large dining room table. The home is spotless and well-appointed with everything you need to prepare meals for a large group. We took day trips into Bellaire and Charlevoix, so the location is ideal to bounce around up north as well. The owners leave Michigan treats for the guests to enjoy which is a thoughtful touch. The only thing we regret is not enjoying the fire pit area in the evening-next time! We would highly recommend this home for a large group of people who love to spend time together!

Great House, but Needs Work

We love the house and the house and the view. It was the perfect size for our large family, but there were definite negatives. First of all, there were dead flies in the master bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom on the main floor's toilet did not work properly. It would not flush properly even though we tried plunging it. We finally had to close it to our guests. This was a MAJOR inconvenience! There were also stains on the carpeting. So even thought it was beautiful, it didn't feel clean. Also, the dishwasher was not installed properly, tipping every time you opened it, making it difficult to load dishes. In addition, I contacted the property manager SEVERAL times about early/late check in. The promised to call me back but NEVER did. This is very frustrating when you consider the amount of money we paid for the place, only to be ignored. The good news is that we really did have a great time, but they definitely need to do some maintenance on the prop[erty and work on customer service.

Nice stay but a few issues

Had some trouble checking in. Was given all the wrong codes. Someone kept entering the home during the day or turning off the air conditioning remotely while we were gone.. The temps were in the mid 90’s outside during our stay.. One of the toilets in a main bathroom wouldn’t flush. Someone came out and supposedly fixed it, but it flushed the same. Horribly. Could not find any spare paper towel for the kitchen. Won’t you evolve/VRBO again.
