How It Began
Roy Deskin, the son of a coal miner, worked his way through Detroit’s steel factories to become a magnate in the auto industry. In 1944, he retired Up North on Torch Lake.
Deskin loved entertaining. But he grew weary from driving all over Northern Michigan to entertain his guests. He decided he would build a social establishment of his own and broke ground in the fall of 1961. Summit Mountain opened for skiing in December, 1962, while construction on the Lodge would not be completed until the following spring. The 91-room hotel, whose name was based on an old trapper’s shanty located near the [current day] 7th and 8th holes of The Legend, opened May 30, 1963 as The Lodge at Shanty Creek.
