Ideal Property and Wonderful Host

Just the right amount of space (5BD/3BA) for our "three part" family. Property was spotless upon our arrival. Many amenities including a gas fireplace, children games, WIFI. Proximity to lifts is five minutes by foot! Pool pass is another major plus. This was our third year.

Fantastic stay!

Jerry's place was the perfect family/friend get away for a large group - the lodge was gorgeous and had a cozy cabin feel and comfortable hangout areas, fully stocked kitchen with large frig, and the view can't be beat - so so pretty and such nice sunsets. Can't say enough good things about this vacation spot! Lots of fun things to do around the area also. I would stay at Jerry's again in a heartbeat.

Winter Weekend

We have found our yearly family winter up north rental! This was a perfect home for our family and we used every bit of the space. The layout is great, well stocked, clean and very close to all Shanty Creek winter outdoor options. When we weren’t playing outside we were inside enjoying meals, the fire place, games and time together.

Family Ski Gathering

We gathered here again for the fifth year, tho we have been at Schuss every year since 1993. This home is wonderful for our family of three generations. We appreciate the location, expansive views, well appointed rooms and the skiing for our group. We plan to return next year again!

Wonderful Getaway

We loved our stay! The place was very clean, comfortable and we had everything we needed. The view from the balcony is stunning! I can only imagine what it looks like in the winter. We were there to boat on Torch lake. We drove about 15 minutes to get to nearest dock to put our boat in. Torch lake is as clear and beautiful as you have heard. Would definitely stay again!

Schuss Family Weekend

We came with our adult kids and their families to ski and relax. The view is unbeatable and online description is accurate. This year, with the extraordinary snowfall for skiing, we chose to drive and park near the service drive to the mountain (1/8 of a mile maybe), but it is totally walkable to ski. Since this was our 5th year at this home, we knew that it had the pans, etc. to help feed our gang! We did need 4WD to get in and out of the driveway for the first time ever! Other vehicles parked on the road this year. Still, fresh powder was amazing! We hope to return again soon.

WOW the scenery is not to be missed!

This house is beautiful and most everything you may need was provided. The view from the deck is amazing! My only negative comment would be the septic tank smell prevents you from opening the bedroom windows, even after having it pumped out.

Perfect winter weekend

We stayed at the Scenic View Lodge with family for New Years Eve. It was perfect for the teens/college kids for skiing. It was a bit of a walk, especially since the snow was melting, but us older adults just had someone drop us off at the drop off. The house was accommodating for multiple families to share. The basement was perfect for the older kids. We would definitely stay here again.

The description did not do this listing justice! This was the best family trip that my family has had ever! The house was very spacious, the host was very hospitable, there was plenty room and they even left air mattresses to insure we were comfortable. They left welcome snacks, alot if cleaning supplies, soap and hand sanitizer! We are already planning our winter vacation back!

Family Ski Trip

This was our third stay at the Scenic View Lodge and it was wonderful. We enjoyed the open floor plan but the pre-teen kids had space to hang out downstairs as well. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything needed for making meals. It was a short walk to the drive up to the pink lift (or two block walk). We continue to enjoy Schuss and have skied every year as a family since 1993, though we have morphed from the young parents to the grand parents hosting 💕 Thank you for sharing this home with us!

Great stay!

The view was amazing, the beds were comfortable, and the house was clean. The only couple of complaints I had were there were some wasp nests on the deck that were not taken care of, and the house didn't have WiFi. Generally, the WiFi thing wouldn't bother me if I knew there wasn't going to be wifi, but the losing does not mention that wifi is not available, it just says the owner hasn't provided information about it.
