The Suite is located at Shanty Creek Resort a popular Northern Michigan golfing and skiing destination. Voted number 1 in dining and number 6 overall for midwest ski resorts by SKI magazine, 2002. It is ski in/ski out from Schuss Mountain Lodge and a short walk from the Schuss Mountain free schuttle and Schuss golf course.

Shanty Creek is best viewed through a wide-angle lens. One reader describes it as "very large and sprawling." With three villages, a variety of lodging, gourmet restaurants, two ski peaks, 46 ski runs, 11 lifts and its own transit system, Shanty Creek is more "full service" than most Midwest resorts. Bolstered by a first-place Midwest finish in Dining, plus a runner-up in Lodging, Shanty Creek is more like Beaver Creek than Alta. Skiing is presented here in a genteel manner. "The staff is anxious to please," says one reader. Although its fourth-place finish this year shows that skiers appreciate the resort's amenities, more important is Shanty's No. 8 ranking in Terrain-the first time the resort has ever cracked the top 10. Skiers are learning that you can ski the easier trails below Summit Village, the tree-lined intermediate slopes bordering Cedar River Village and the nine rock-solid black-diamonds that cascade into Schuss Village-all in the same day on one Superticket. "It's a great place for learning and working on skills and technique," notes a reader. Combine the amenities with good skiing, and it's no wonder Shanty Creek is popular. "Great for families and conferences," observes a reader, while another notes the "fun attitude, good service and good snow for Midwest skiing." As one reader succinctly says: "It has everything I want."
