Gather your family and friends for an unforgettable getaway at I’ll Be Back, a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath condo located directly on the slopes of Schuss Mountain in Shanty Creek’s Cedar River Village. With two full living spaces, a kitchen and bar area on each level, and two gas fireplaces, this home is designed for families who love to relax, connect, and play together.
Guests rave about the perfect ski-in/ski-out location — step right out the sliding glass door and onto the slopes. No shuttles, no waiting — just skiing, snowboarding, and easy access back inside for lunch by the fire. In warmer months, enjoy access to the Cedar River outdoor pool, nearby golf, and all the resort’s walking and biking trails.
Inside, the condo is larger than expected, easily accommodating multiple families or groups up to 10. The open-concept main floor features a full kitchen, dining area, cozy fireplace, and large windows looking out over the ski hill. Downstairs, a second living area with its own kitchen/bar offers the perfect hangout zone for kids, teens, or another family.
Guests appreciate that it’s clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with plenty of warm bedding, fast Wi-Fi, and TVs in both living areas and the master bedroom. The two washers and dryers make longer stays a breeze.
Families love how easy it is for everyone to come and go throughout the day — some skiing, others lounging by the fire or cooking together — all in one perfect spot. As one guest put it, “The location right on the slopes was the best I’ve had in Michigan. We’ll definitely be back.”
Come see why so many families make I’ll Be Back their go-to home for every season at Schuss. no outdoor fire pits allowed

Perfect!
It was a perfect family affair. Accommodations allowed us to spread out upstairs and down then have meals and play games all together. In and out to purple lift made it easy to stop in for food, drink or ski adjustments. Pool and hottubs were enjoyed after 2 fulls days on the slopes.
My entire family love the condo and enjoyed the spaciousness of it where we could be together or have some privacy to ourselves. Definitely would book this condo again. We had a great time
We had a great weekend getaway at "I'll be Back". My husband and I went for a ski weekend with our two teenagers for our winter break. The location of the condo was wonderful and very convenient for skiing. The condo was very large and comfortable and the owners/managers were extemely helpful and communicative when we had questions. The only negative that I could mention is that the interior was a little aged, and the carpet could use replacing, but it did not effect our stay at all. We had a great time and would definitely stay at this condo again.
This is the best location for families at Schuss. No hauling skis and kids up the hill. This is literally ski in/ski out. The view of the hill is beautiful. The condo it huge, clean and had the amenities we needed for a long weekend.
There was a strange issue with the heat, were it would turn itself down to 55 degrees in the middle of the night. My kids and parents, downstairs, woke up freezing. It's also a little dated and worn in carpet, furniture and beds. Honestly though, you're paying for the location and view. Would definitely rent again.
We had a couple of families share the condo and it was perfect -- right on the ski slope! Grandma and grandpa got to watch the little ones ski by. Condo was well stocked and in good condition. Swimming in the outdoor pool was also a hit! Would definitely stay here again.
Great Location, Needs Updating and carpet cleaning
The condo is a great location. The carpeting in the living room was torn and there were spots on the stair carpeting and the carpeting throughout. We would most likely rent again due to the excellent ski in/ski out location.
We won’t be back. The condo was comfortable and spacious and there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. However, when we arrived the dishes In the dishwasher were dirty, the garbage can was on top of the kitchen shelf and the rest of the kitchen had not been cleaned. There were no sheets on the master bedroom bed. A note had been left by some unknown person saying the cleaning person left before they did and the sheets were in the dryer.
Now imagine being excited for several months about having family meet us for a vacation at this condo and walking in to find it this way. We wondered who had been there, why the cleaner had left BEFORE they did, and was the rest of the place even clean? It was upsetting.
We called the Northern Lights number and Tressia apologized and said she would be over. She did come and cleaned while waiting for the sheets to dry.....then made the bed and left. We had to wait for her to be done before we could unpack our car. It was not a good start to our vacation and left us with a bad impression. Also the living room carpeting was quite dirty and there were no chairs on the upstairs deck.
This condo was exactly what our extended family needed for our trip to a family wedding! Plenty of beds and bathrooms, lots of room both upstairs and downstairs to gather as a group, located close to grocery stores and gas stations. We would love to stay here again with more time to explore the area!
This property is in a perfect location for a family ski get away. Being right on the slopes allows the group to meet up often for quick snack and lets the grandparents waive from the comfort of the living by the fire. The condo was family friendly with games and everything needed in the kitchen. Hosts communication was perfect. We couldn't ask for anything more!
Our group needed a place to stay on short notice. This particular weekend was a popular fall color weekend, so many places in the area were booked. With only one day’s notice, we were able to rent this wonderful place. Our family appreciates the quick response of Northern Lights Vacations to make our stay possible.
Perfect place for our group with lots of bathrooms and two kitchen areas. The views from the patio were amazing as well.

March trip for truck climb
Condo Was a little further from schuss village than I had hoped. Master bed was uncomfortable. There were tons of ants in the lower level kitchen and the upstairs floors were dirty. Master bathroom sink doesn’t drain well. We couldn’t reach a shuttle driver with the number provided in the book. Very spacious for our group.
