Large, fantastic house on the Schuss Mtn slopes, space for family/friends/dogs This place is a year-round treat! Our place is located near the top of Schuss Mountain in an area that is close to many outdoor activities: boating (Torch Lake and many others is less than 10 miles), golfing (Shuss Mtn course is ~2 miles, Shanty Creek courses are ~5 miles, and there are many others in the area), kayaking (Paddle Antrim / Chain of Lakes with a 99 mile water trail is less than 10 miles), hiking and biking (Glacial Hills and many other trails are all over the area). In the summer, it is vibrantly green with temperatures that are frequently very comfortable, and bugs are usually quite manageable. The deck and windows from the living room have amazing views of the valley. The house faces southeast-ish and many mornings have amazing sunrises, although they are very early this time of year.The house sleeps 14-16. It has 5 bedrooms (all are nearly the same dimensions), 3 bathrooms (one with a tub, two with walk-in showers), 3 separate living/family rooms (all with TVs), a pretty well outfitted kitchen (we provide many small appliances and a good mix of bakeware, pots & pans, etc.), and a nice kitchenette. All bathrooms were refreshed this spring, featuring new ceramic tile floors and vanities, and the whole house has new carpet. It has a large deck with a grill available (next remodeling project is updates to the deck). We have a remote workspace with high-speed internet and equipment (extra monitor, keyboard, mouse, & printer) available. The house is also air conditioned.There is ample parking, with space for 7-8 or more vehicles. The driveway is relatively long, and it has a loop turnaround. We've stored our boat (21' ski boat) in the garage for years. Many renters have brought boats and kept them in the driveway during their stay. It is worth noting that we've been told it can be difficult to navigate the loop for those towing very long boats. In the winter, our ski-in / ski-out, which is a short walk down our driveway and right next to our firepit, is accessible to Queen's Corner / Belle's Bottom on the Schuss pink lift. The living room overlooks the slopes so non-skiers can watch the action while staying warm! For those willing to brave the cold, the large deck overlooks Belle’s Bottom and the fire pit next to the ski in/out are other great places to hang out and watch skiers.Winter is magical here. Schuss in in the norther Michigan snowbelt and lots of the white, fluffy stuff contributes to the beauty. Enjoy stunning sunrises overlooking the surrounding valley and amazing sunsets thru the trees to the west. This property is close to Short’s Pub in Bellaire and Shanty Creek Resorts. It is centrally located, with Traverse City, Petoskey, Gaylord and Charlevoix all between 35-45 minutes. Torch Lake and the Chain-o-Lakes are all very close. This house does not have a Shanty Creek pool pass.
