Villa Monte 278

Testimonials:​

"The property was very clean and quiet, very relaxing. A short drive to Traverse City, Charlevoix or Petoskey. Short walk to the pool/hot tub. Definitely recommend to friends."

"The condo is great and has everything you need. The unit is clean, updated and has a great location. Connie the property manager is great to work with. Thank you for a great stay! We’ll be back."

"This property suited our five-member family perfectly. Much roomier than appears in photos. Layout is nice as the main bedroom is at end of hall from living space, allowing kids to stay up playing games or watching TV while parents get some quiet time. One of our sons choose to use the pullout couch bed instead of climbing to the top bunk (he is 6'5" so can't blame him) and the couch has the nicest mattress we've ever used on a pull out. Property has a nice trail steps from the door and the pool on site is literally steps away. You can also use the pass left at the condo to access the pool etc at the other Shanty Creek properties, which we did."
