We were they for an annual weekend cycling event - 4th time at Shanty Ck. This was our favorite room of the 4. Super convenient that we could park within steps of the unit and the balcony over looking the valley was lush and peaceful. Place was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were e terrific when we needed a slightly later checkout too.

It's a great property, clean condo and quiet building. We've stayed at another condo nearby with a different owner and it was a terrible experience. If we go back to Bellaire, we will try to stay at this owner's place again, it was great.

Beautiful Scenic Vista from the Balcony

The condo was lovely! The view from the balcony was stunning! Love that it had a full-size fridge, dishwasher, and 12-cup coffee maker. The only thing the condo lacked was a chest of drawers, so we could've unpacked our suitcases in the week that we stayed. Would definitely stay again.

Up north getaway

This property is amazing, has a full kitchen which we loved. Has a main room that has one double bed and a sleeper sofa. An awesome balcony to sit outside, only downfall on that was the cushions were wet. Other than that truly enjoyed our trip and looking forward to staying there again

Good cozy place up north

Good clean and cozy place. Loved the pool and hot tub access. This is not a ski in / ski out as advertised since the mountain was closed for skiing a few years ago. The ad should be updated. It wasn’t a huge deal to us and otherwise the stay was great.

Thank you Craig for reviewing your stay and our unit. We are happy the accommodation met your needs and we are sorry our ski in/ ski out option did not work for you. The unit is listed ski in/ski out because there is a free shuttle available by the unit to take skiers to the other villages. We are still waiting for news when they will reopen the slopes at Summit.
