Since the Lakeview is perched on top of Summit, it offers ski-in/out access to the 11 runs on the hill as well the newly relocated Alpine Tubing Park. Once you’ve warmed up on Summit, you can catch the ultra convenient (and free!) resort shuttle to Schuss Mountain. This all-in-one property features The Lakeview Restaurant, The Spa, Arnie’s Grill, and indoor & outdoor pools.
SHUSH MOUNTAIN RESORT FULL
Lakeview houses 183 rooms that range from a traditional hotel room with two queen beds and a refrigerator to a deluxe spa parlor room that features a full kitchen, fireplace and a jacuzzi. In 2007, Lakeview Hotel + Conference Center underwent a multimillion dollar renovation and it still shines bright as if it was done this year and not 7 years ago. An entrance like that gets you excited to see what else the resort has to offer.
SHUSH MOUNTAIN RESORT WINDOWS
From there you can’t help but walk towards the amazing view the property offers via the wall of windows looking over Summit Mountain and Lake Bellaire.
SHUSH MOUNTAIN RESORT REGISTRATION
As you walk through the main entrance and up to registration your eyes automatically gaze up at the soaring ceilings with gorgeous exposed wooden beams. Sitting on top of Summit Mountain and overlooking beautiful Lake Bellaire, The Lakeview Hotel easily has the best views of the whole resort and serves as the flagship property of the resort. Whether you’re visiting the resort for business or for a long weekend away with the whole family – you’ll find a comfortable and convenient place to lay your head after a long day taking in everything the resort has to offer. Made up of three villages, Shanty Creek Resorts offers three different and unique lodging options. Our recent stay at Shanty Creek was an eye opening experience, and we can’t wait to go back. On-site they have hotel rooms and condos to rent, bars and restaurants to dine-in and vast acreages of Pure Michigan to enjoy.

Located in Bellaire, Michigan, Shanty Creek Resorts is a destination for skiing and snowboarding in the winter and then golf and R&R in the warmer months. These changes were put into place to upgrade the entire resort experience and after spending the week enjoying them we have to say that they pulled off the changes quite nicely! They’ve also moved the alpine tubing hill over to Summit Mountain to make room for the new location of the resort’s Ski School. Another change at Cedar River is the upgrades made at the Lodge at Cedar River. On the main floor there’s a brand new full service bar and restaurant, with seating for up to 120 and views of the Cedar River golf course. For starters, their Ski School and a majority of their rental equipment has been moved from Schuss Village to Cedar River Village. If you’ve stayed or skied at Shanty Creek in the past you’ll now notice some new and exciting changes. The folks at Shanty Creek also made a point to share with us some major renovations and upgrades that were made for 2015.

Our stay was designed to showcase everything that the resort has to offer during the winter months including skiing, tubing, snowshoeing and fine dining. Throughout our time at the resort we toured the property, took advantage of the slopes and enjoyed the beautiful sights of Winter in northern Michigan. Recently, along with several other members of the media, Busted Wallet’s editorial staff was invited to spend some quality time at Shanty Creek Resorts which during the winter months serves as a full service ski resort.
