This newly remodeled condo sits on the Schuss course, just a quick walk out the door to the Schuss slopes and would be a perfect place for a getaway for 1 or 2 couples. You can walk to Ivan’s restaurant and be in the middle of everything happening during ski season. The cozy condo has a front room with a small but functional kitchen, a flat panel TV and a sofa sleeper. The private bedroom has a queen bed, and a slider that opens onto a deck where you can sit with your coffee or a cold beverage.

I also have three others just like this – call for details and availability.

Please enjoy the resort restaurants and shopping, and visit the great places in Bellaire. There is a movie theatre, video store, grocery store, some cool shops, coffee shops (Moka) and restaurants. One of our favorites is Starlight – and don’t miss out on a visit to Shorts. In the resort, try Lakeview – it really does have a fantastic view of Lake Bellaire, or Ivan’s over at Schuss Village. If you get a chance to go a little further, Dockside on Torch Lake is a fun place to eat with a great setting on the lake. A few more miles will get you to Alden (don’t miss Higgins for the best ice cream around), or Traverse City, Petoskey and Charlevoix.
