Ski Shop Lodges #3 | Remember That Time We Stayed at Schuss?
**The kind of vacation you'll be talking about long after you get home.**
Remember that time we stayed at Schuss?
You know the one — skiing right outside your door, coming back to a warm and cozy lodge, cooking dinner together, and making memories with family and friends.
Welcome to **Ski Shop Lodges #3**, a completely renovated vacation lodge located in **Schuss Village at Shanty Creek Resorts**.
The Ski Shop Lodges were once part of an original ski shop, and we wanted to preserve a little of that Schuss history. That's why we kept the name **The Ski Shop Lodges**.
A Little History. A Lot of Comfort.
Ski Shop Lodges #3 has a unique piece of Schuss history that sets it apart — **the original fireplace from the former ski shop remains as a decorative feature**, giving the lodge a one-of-a-kind connection to its past.
While the fireplace is **not operational**, it adds character and charm to this completely updated space.
From the furnishings to the finishes, this lodge has been thoughtfully renovated to give you a fresh, comfortable, modern place to stay while still preserving a little of what makes Schuss special.
Cozy, Comfortable & Family-Friendly
Heated tile floors throughout the lodge create that warm, cozy feeling you'll appreciate after a day outdoors.
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area makes it easy for everyone to stay connected. Cook dinner while still being part of the conversation, or keep an eye on the kids while you're preparing a meal.
The fully stocked kitchen has everything you'll need if you prefer to enjoy meals at the lodge.
You'll find plenty of:
* Dishes and glassware * Pots and pans * Cooking utensils * Kitchen essentials * Everything you need to prepare a family meal
Step outside and fire up the **gas grill** for an easy dinner after a day on the mountain.
Winter at Schuss
**This is where Ski Shop Lodges #3 really shines.**
With **ski-in/ski-out access at Schuss Mountain**, the slopes are right outside your door. No loading everyone into the car. No hauling ski equipment across a parking lot.
Ski. Take a break. Come back for lunch. Warm up. Then head right back out.
That's a Schuss vacation.
Enjoy:
**Skiing & snowboarding** **Cross-country skiing** **Snowshoeing** **Four-season mountain adventures** **Cozy evenings back at the lodge**
Whether you're an experienced skier or introducing the kids to the mountain, this location makes enjoying winter easy.

The Ski Shop Lodges at Schuss Mountain
**A little Schuss history. A whole lot of ski-in/ski-out convenience.**
The **Ski Shop Lodges** is a beautifully renovated building located in **Schuss Village at the base of Schuss Mountain**. The building was once a ski shop, and we loved the history and character of the property so much that we decided to keep the name.
Today, the building is home to **seven individual vacation condos**, each offering its own unique space while sharing one unbeatable advantage:
### **All Seven Condos Are Ski-In/Ski-Out**
You can step outside, hit the slopes, and ski right back to the building when you're ready for a break. No driving, no loading up the car, and no hauling your gear back and forth.
### Choose Your View
The seven condos are positioned around the building, so each offers a slightly different experience:
**#1, #2 & #3 — Mountain/Slope Side** These condos face the slopes and offer **views of Schuss Mountain**, putting you right in the middle of the action.
**#4 & #5 — Circle Side** These condos face the circle side of the building. While they don't have direct slope views, they still offer **full ski-in/ski-out access**.
**#6 & #7 — Parking Lot Side** These condos face the parking lot. Although they don't have views of the slopes, guests still enjoy the same **ski-in/ski-out convenience** and easy access to all of the shared outdoor amenities.
### Outdoor Amenities for All Guests
Guests staying at any of the seven Ski Shop Lodges condos can enjoy the shared outdoor spaces around the building, including:
**Bonfire pit** — perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain
**Gas grills** — great for an easy dinner outdoors
These shared amenities give guests a place to gather, relax, and enjoy the mountain atmosphere throughout the year.

While the condo was basically clean we felt like someone had recently slept there (beds were made poorly). I had no idea how secluded it was with Schuss Lodge being closed & the “condos” were the renovated former ski shops. Maybe if I was there to golf it would have a different effect but I’m not a golfer. Grounds were also very unkempt. I would hope plans are to renovate the grounds to make this place more attractive/appealing. I am originally from the area so I know what this place once looked like. Kind of sad to see it in this condition.
We had a great time staying in close to torch lake. This place was in a convenient location close to all your needs. Very clean and clearly newly renovated.

Thank you for the nice review! This condo is a perfect place to use as a hub and see the beautiful sites of Northern Michigan.
It was just what we needed to go back and forth from torch lake over the 4th. Clean and comfortable. Exactly what the listing showed. Convenient location. We would definitely stay here again.
The place was amazing! It looked exactly as the pictures listed! Me and my boyfriend and my two girls absolutely enjoyed our stay, the pool was fun for the kids in the evenings, it was very clean, overall our stay was absolutely amazing, totally met our expectations!! Would totally recommend!

We used this as a base for going boating each day. Loved the updated unit. Comfortable beds and enjoyed the complimentary coffee. We had a cup each morning before heading to the lake.

Great location. Very tastefully and purposefully setup for a SKI trip. Loved the infloor heating. You can still see everything is new. One thing I would recommend is more hangers in the closets and more hooks to hang your ski stuff so It can air dry for next day. Will definitely stay here again.
Lovely newly remodeled condo. Stocked well plus extra supplies. Comfortable beds. Owner was accommodating with our requests. Pools were nice. The indoor pool was very convenient being next door. The outdoor pool was a short drive away but very well worth it. An amazing view!
A little disappointed that the fireplace was not functional as the evenings were chilly. I suggest adding screens to the windows for fresh air circulation, the days were warm. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!
