Sunny Days, your bright and peaceful escape in the heart of Shanty Creek Resort! This stand-alone condo offers true privacy and quiet—no shared walls, no noise from neighbors—just tranquil relaxation surrounded by Northern Michigan beauty.
Start your mornings on the private back deck, sipping coffee as you watch the hummingbirds, and end your evenings with a glass of wine under the trees. Inside, you’ll find a spotless, well-equipped space that guests rave about—plush linens, comfortable beds, strong water pressure, reliable Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to feel at home. Owner has recently updated bedding in the master bedroom and added new tv's.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is quiet and beautiful. The unit itself was very comfortable and clean. Quick drive to downtown Bellaire and about 25 minutes to Torch Lake which is where we spent most of our time. Will definitely look into staying here in the future!
This condo was very comfortable overall. A very favorable recommendation. The covered deck was a plus and access to the beach club was a super plus. Plenty of room inside as well. Kitchen was accessorized wonderfully. Felt like home.
The condo was very clean and well maintained. We loved the deck- private, shaded, scenic. Hummingbirds added to our enjoyment! The pool was clean, easy to get to, private. Perfect location, close to TC area, wineries and beaches. We enjoyed downtown Bellaire. The beds were comfy. Bathrooms and kitchen well equipped. Nice to have A/C, cable TV and Wi Fi. We’d love to return someday.
The Sunny Days condo was very clean, spacious, and the full kitchen was great for being able stay if for some meals. Location was great for getting to the Lakeview pool, and skiing at Scuss is only a short drive away.
I stayed here with my friends it was a cute place had a pretty view and close to the pool. Not to far from the restaurants and bars! Those were good and fun! Had a comfortable stay.
We've stayed at this location several times and enjoyed it on each occasion. Good weekend with a few friends. House was clean and communication with the property manager is a breeze. Will stay here again in the future
We were incredibly happy with our stay here. The condo was clean and perfect for our family of 4. Wonderful location to all of the activities but in a quiet area without the noise of neighbors. Great kitchen with all the supplies we needed. Excellent and quick communication with the owner. We hope to get back to the same condo next year!
Everything went well. No surprises. Condo was clean and well stocked. Easy access. Both bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious. Enjoyed Shanty Creek amenities.
Overall it was a nice stay. Great time for skiing. The owner did a fantastic job communicating as our first reservation was cancelled the day we were suppose to leave and the owner was great in getting back to me promptly to reserve. Our only complaint was that the condo needed some updating but that didn’t stop us from having a wonderful weekend. Spacious and great location. Thank you!
This condo was perfect for our family and we will definitely be back! It was incredibly clean and the host responded immediately to all of our questions. The resort offered many ammenities and while we did not use the small pool right next door, my family enjoyed the hotel's indoor and outdoor pools. We caught a magnificent sunset while at the outdoor pool, overlooking Lake Bellaire. We came for Torch Lake and rented a tritoon near the condo. The resort is just under an hour from Traverse City and just about an hour and a half to get to the dunes. It was wonderful to come back to the peacefulness of the condo and sit out on the lovely back deck, taking in nature.
When we realized our son had left two books in a dresser drawer, the host went above and beyond to ship them back to us the very next day! We can't wait to come back!

Never Again
We stayed at this condo about 10-12 years ago and really liked it, so booked it again this year. Upon arrival, was a little disappointed to see not much updating had been done and areas of condo were somewhat neglected. Our first night there, we witnessed a pretty good size mouse crawl into the vent on bottom of fireplace in living room. We later found mouse waste in one of the beds.
We contacted property manager the next morning and she agreed to move us to a different condo. Second condo was nice and cheaper, but property manager would not refund us the difference. Will never rent through Tressia Mooney/Northern Lights Vacations/Bellaire Rentals. They never offered us anything for our inconvenience of having to repack and move to a different condo.
This Place was a wonderful place. Beyond what I expected it to be. Clean and very welcoming. The view from the top balcony is wonderful. You get a small window of opportunity to see down towards the lake. You could see more if there wasn’t a few good trees in the way.
I do have one suggestion for the owners.
As a Construction company owner that builds and does remodels all the time, I would suggest in removing the old green carpeting out of the house and putting down Vinyl flooring. The other thing was the tv in the bedroom. It was a tv from back in my time. I was kind of excited to see one and be able to show my kids one but it’s just not feasible for now a days.
Other than just those two minor details the place was amazing and we are actually looking at booking again here in the next few weeks or so.
If you do make it out to this property, DO NOT forget to fill out their guest book.
Really like this property and location for our multifamily weekends. This is the second time we've stayed at the home in the last 3 years and it has been great both times. We plan to stay here again
I stayed there in a ski trip with my family in February. This location was wonderful. Right in between the ski resort and downtown, about a 10 minute drive to both. The condo was so clean and had all the basic amenities one needed. The owner was wonderful with communications and provided everything we needed to know. The space and views were great. The two large beds in both rooms worked perfectly for our family. I would love to come back and stay at the condo in the summer too as the pool looked nice.
Small note for young children: there’s a wide open staircase to the basement in the center of the unit. The host was thoughtful enough to provide a baby gate but unfortunately it wasn’t stable enough to fit the space. We were able to rig up something so it didn’t cause any issues but something to be aware of.
