About this property

Merlin Hütte offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a renovated kitchen with new appliances, wood burning fireplace, washer and dryer, and a magical A-frame of windows with a view of the woods.

At Merlin Hütte there is a season for everyone.

Shanty Creek has a portfolio of five 18-hole championship courses at one propery. Hawk’s Eye (Robinson) , Schuss Mountain Course (Bowen), Cedar River (Weiskopf), The Legend (Palmer), and Summit Course (Diddel). In addition, other excellent courses are located nearby.

Winter sports are covered too. Schuss Mountain offers 42 runs and 8 lifts and includes 3 terrain parks. Summit Mountain offers 11 runs and 3 lifts and includes an Alpine tubing park. There are plenty of trails for cross country skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing . Those who love snowmobiling the Jordan Valley Trail System is just minutes away from Schuss Village.

Fifteen minutes away are the crystal clear waters of Torch Lake and in our opinion the best mountain bike/hiking trail in Michigan, Glacial Hills.

Bellaire is a 10 minute drive and is an awesome little town with the famous Shorts brewery and Mammoth Distillery as well as many other great restaurants and shops.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival there were a few bugs here and there which is typical for a house in the woods. It didn’t deter us, we just took care of them. Everything else was clean and easy to use. Could have used a vacuum cleaner just to help keep the upstairs vacuumed. There was a push non electric vacuum but it was full of rice from previous use. The beds were very comfortable which was a plus! The rest of the place was nice and we enjoyed our time!

Michigan vacation

We had a wonderful time staying at this location with our family. The place was an open layout, clean, provided basic household needs and welcoming. The host was extremely easy to work with and friendly. We would recommend this place and location to others. Even though it is out of the owner’s control, our only hiccup was the pool at Lakeview was extremely dirty and outdated. We decided instead to stick to the beach which is a close drive. Overall, it was a great trip!

Golf perfect

We came up to golf. The location of the property was perfect. Five to ten minute drive to several of the courses in the area. We played two rounds each day and this allowed us to go back fix lunch and freshen up in between rounds.

Cute Chalet

Our family enjoyed our stay at Merlin Hutte. The property owners were very kind and helpful. The Chalet has a rustic and cozy feel. It was in a quiet location close to the local attractions. It’s also in a nice central location for day trips to popular Northern Michigan cities such as Traverse City, Chalevoix, Petoskey, etc. We have small children, so the pool access was a nice perk as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
