The only thing for us and I don’t necessarily know if it’s stated that in the description was that this was actually one of the condos that didn’t have an elevator in my partner is totally disabled, so it made a very difficult for us but other than that, it was great

It was our first time staying at Shanty Creek and we had a great time! The unit itself was clean and roomier than pictured. It was a very quiet spot for a holiday weekend- the parking area was full but we barely saw anyone else! We loved having access to different areas like the indoor pool and the beach club (though that was a little tricky to find). One thing to note is that the bed is quite soft- we loved it, but know that’s not always the preference for others. Overall we would highly recommend this unit and would love to return in the future!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you had a great first visit to Shanty Creek and that the unit exceeded your expectations in both space and comfort. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, as well as access to the indoor pool and beach club—thanks for the note about it being a little tricky to find; we’ll work on making those directions clearer. We also appreciate your feedback on the bed—every bit of insight helps us better inform future guests. We’d absolutely love to host you again on your next trip up!

Very very nice unit! Everything was as expected and then some. Nice view, close proximity to Chief golf course and other Shanty Creek attractions. And Nicole was an outstanding host and communicator. This will be my 1st choice destination the next time I come to Shanty Creek.
