Located within Crystal Mountain resort, this charming cabin in the woods puts you in the middle of four seasons of fun. Walk to the base of Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and spend winters on the slopes, and in the summer, hike nearby trails, play golf, or visit the Lake Michigan shoreline.

At home, you’ll love relaxing on the quiet, screened porch with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand. Inside, you’ll find a cozy cabin vibe, comfortable furnishings, and plenty of space to unwind. The full, well equipped kitchen features all the appliances, a standalone island, and a convenient desk area for those with remote work. The woodstove (with wood thoughtfully provided) will keep everyone toasty in the cooler months, and the loft space upstairs offers another spot to relax. Stream the latest show together in the living room, then end the night in the swing by the firepit, roasting marshmallows and chatting about your first - and next - perfect vacation day.

Great customer service

We had a little hiccups when we first got to Shady pines, the code to unlock door would not work, however customer service was quick to get the problem problem. The kitchen was fully equipped with all your cooking essentials. I feel we had plenty of space for 7 people and was awesome to have two bathrooms. The area was beautiful as well and everyone around was friendly. I would recommend. The xxxxx's

Outstanding Value

We have a three year old, so we needed two bedrooms and some room for play. This cabin was an outstanding value for the Crystal Mountain Resort experience. Nothing comparable to it is available for less than $1000/night. The location is great. Our daughter rode her scooter to the pool, coffee shop, and restaurants multiple times every day. And driving to the beach or Frankfort is only 20 minutes away. We appreciated the professional management of Vacasa; small things like new paper towel rolls and great communication throughout. It was also unusually hot while we were there, and the AC unit upstairs plus the huge ceiling fan was more than enough to keep the whole house cool. Our only compliant was that Wednesday morning seemed to be lawn mowing day for the entire resort... super noisy everywhere.

Outdated

Home is very dated and very dark (Shady Pines) . It was clean on the inside. Outside needs attention. (Screens, roof, decks). The best thing about the house is the location. Can walk to everything. Home is not representative of the the quality of others.

Perfect Cabin for our Family of 6

The cabin was great. Decor was cute, plenty of places to sleep and hang out for our family. The washer and dryer was helpful after spending time at the lake. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Arcadia trip

Overall the home was very nice and cozy. Only issues were minor, some silverware had to be rewashed, personal communication was non-existant leaving it unclear how to ask questions for like finding extra blankets...which we never found. That said, we loved the place overall and would recommend to friends and family.

Awesome getaway spot!!

One thing that I didn't expect was that it was on a beautiful resort. With so many activities. We did archery and outdoor laser tag and we walked on a trail. Will definitely be returning for skiing and spa days.

Great location close to Crystal Mountain resort and walking distance to lifts and amenities. Property perfect for our adult family. Well equipped except for lack of basic amenities such as coffee filters, foil and cream wrap.

Love this location!

We had to book this location because our last location we had an issue with. And I would like to say, this was MOST DEFINITELY an upgrade! Super grateful we stayed here, and would absolutely do it again! This location is by far one of my top 2 houses yet. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! You won’t regret it!
