Schuss Mountain Slopeside Luxury Log Home

Description from the owner

The Schoonhoven Ski-in ski-out Log home is located directly on Schuss Mountain within minutes of Shanty Creek's world class Legend golf course and the Cedar River Tom Weiskopf designed course.

This beautiful home sleeps up to 20. Relax in the six-person outdoor 4-season hot tub or enjoy the magnificant views from the two large custom cedar decks.

This custom Log Chalet is a luxurious yet rustic Centennial Log Home located directly on Schuss Mountain's Choice ski run. Chicken's Choice is lighted for night skiing. Only minutes from Shanty Creek's signature Arnold Palmer designed Legend Golf Course this is the perfect golf or ski re...treat.

Private Hot Tub. Real Wood Fireplace. Outdoor Firepit. Gourmet Kitchen. Heated bathroom floors. TWO Jetted Tubs in the master and lower level bath. Custom stone showers (for two). Considered the nicest rental home in the Shanty Creek Resort... maybe in all of Michigan.

The upper level of the Log Home sleeps two in the spacious master suite's custom cedar-twig, log bed. The master bath has a two-person jetted tub, two sinks, and a shower built for two in a luxurious room with heated floors and an abundance of natural slate stone. Just outside the master suite is a large loft with two very comfortable futon sleepers to accommodate four more guests. The walls of the master suite only extend 8' and the ceiling soars above -- this gives magnificent views of the ceiling lines & custom log supports and it allows in lots of natural lighting... however, as a result, the master suite is not as private as the rest of the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The main level of the Log home has two more bedrooms, a full bath with very large shower, and a ½ bath complete with full-size washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have heated floors. The second bedroom sleeps two in a beautifyl oversized queen pineapple bed, and the third bedroom will accommodate four more in two sets of log bunk beds. There is a stunning full gourmet kitchen with an island, a vaulted dining area with seating for eight, and a breathtaking vaulted living area with a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the ski hill.

The walkout level sleeps up to eight in one large bedroom with an oversized queen bed, two sleeper couches and an exceptionally comfortable futon in the living area by the TV. There is also a small full-kitchen and a natural stone bathroom with a jetted tub. All of the floors in the walkout level are heated! You haven't lived until you have walked on heated floors barefoot! This is not your typical lower level; there are 30 feet of custom windows looking out on the ski hill and surrounding forest! Just on the other side of Schuss Mountain is the new Tom Weiskopf designed Cedar River Golf Course.

The home sleeps up to twenty in twelve individual beds:

3 queens, 4 twins, 3 double-futon sleeper beds, 2 sleeper sofas.

Enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer - downhill skiing on Schuss Mountain, golf at the Legend, the Bear, the Cedar River course, or your favorite Northern Michigan golf resort. Swim indoors or outdoors at Schuss Mountain's pools. Soak in our private 6-person hot tub. Ride snowmobiles all the way to the UP. Or just curl up with a good book in front of the fire.

Shanty Creek is only 30 minutes from Boyne Mountain, and 45 minutes from Traverse City. Enjoy a sunset over Torch Lake (only 15 minutes away and voted one of the ten most beautiful lakes in the world). Sail on Lake Bellaire, or collect Petoskey Stones on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Lake Bellaire is just minutes away, so bring your boat; the launch is only a few miles away! You can swim, or boat the entire "Chain of Lakes" (Torch, Bellaire, Elk, Clam, and Skegemog). Stroll through small-town Bellaire and enjoy the laid-back resort-town atmosphere and local shops.

4WD or AWD is highly recommended during the ski season (or anytime from mid September to late April when snow is a possibility).

Internet Access: Free wireless Internet is available at the Schuss and Summit Lobbies. There is no phone at the home so don't forget your cell phone.

Enjoy the indoor and outdoor pools, and indoor hot tub and sauna at Schuss Village (as well as our private hot tub at the home).Read more

  Schoonhoven is awesome!

  Left on 01/25/2011 for a stay in March 2010
  
  

  We found Schoonhoven to be a great home away from home! It made our large group time easy and very special. A great place to relax for those of us moving slower than our energetic teenagers... like I could sit in the hot tub and watch the skiers go by ; ) Enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and appliances were great. Plenty of room but still very cozy. We'll certainly visit again!

  The home is spacious and well cared for. We found all of the amenities to be exceptional. We used it for an extended family vacation and the home was quite comfortable for all.

  This is an awesome house to rent when in the area any time of the year. It is always clean and everything is working when we arrive. We have rented this house for 6 years in a row and have no reason to change staying there unless our group gets smaller.

  Beautiful Property in an Excellent Location!

  Left on 12/08/2010 for a stay in July 2010
  
  

  Our group of 20 had an excellent time this past summer staying at this property! Being right on Schuss Mountain, we were able to take advantage of group transportation provided by the resort at very affordable rates. This location would also be perfect during the ski season. The cabin is located directly off one of the slopes on Schuss Mountain for a true ski-in / ski-out experience!
