About this house rental

Book now for fall and winter! This is truly a year-round home, with plenty of activities nearby all year. In the summer, enjoy everything lakeside living has to offer! In the fall, enjoy the colors on the lake and in nearby towns and country roads. Visit local wineries, breweries, meaderies, and distilleries on the Torch Lake Tour. Go apple and pumpkin picking at King Orchards (they have what seems like miles of Honey Crisp trees for u-pick!) There are plenty of local trails for hiking and biking in the spring, summer, and fall and cross-country skiing in the winter. We are 15 minutes from Shanty Creek and half an hour from Schuss Mountain and Boyne Mountain for skiing and tubing in the winter! There is a fire-pit outside and a wood-burning stove inside. The lower level floors are also heated in the winter. We also aim to update the decor for each season, including a Christmas tree and decorations.

The Flying Fish is a family friendly, fully equipped 4 bedroom, 2 bath home on the hidden gem, all sports, Intermediate Lake. Bring your clothes and start the relaxation! We have thought of everything. Boat enthusiasts can dock right at the house. We provide kayaks and an adult and child-sized paddle-board to enjoy the lake, beach toys, yard games, hammock and fire pit outside. Foosball table, board games, puzzles, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Amazon fire stick, wifi, PS3 and XBox One, each with several games, for indoor fun on rainy days. Fully stocked and newly remodeled kitchen (spring 2024) with gourmet items including Kitchen Aid mixer, blenders, waffle maker, crockpot etc. Located within walking distance to grocery, restaurants, bar, and boat rental. Explore the Upper Chain of Lakes from the front yard or travel down the street for Torch Lake and the entire Lower Chain of Lakes.

Central Lake is located approximately 10 minutes from Bellaire, 30 minutes from Charlevoix , 45 minutes from Traverse City and Petoskey, and around 1 1/2 hours to Mackinaw City or the Sleeping Bear Dunes. A week at the Flying Fish offers plenty of relaxation and fun at the beach and on the lake, as well as a chance to explore all that northern Michigan has to offer.

This house was perfect for our girls' weekend. A great location to go to Traverse City or Petosky for the day. The weather was disappointing so we weren't able to enjoy the lake or outdoors. That was a bummer, but we found plenty of other things to do. We would definitely stay there again.

This was a perfect place for our family to gather and spend time playing games and enjoying nature. The house has a nice gathering area around a big kitchen overlooking the lake and many comfy beds. Everyone loved it.

We had a great week staying here. It is nicely located so that Traverse City and Petosky are easy drives. A relatively short 90 minute drive has you in the parking lot for the ferry to Mackinac Island. The cabin itself is beautifully located with a nice lawn leading to the lake. It is very spacious and nicely laid out with two bedrooms having views of the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with most any utensil you may need and there was a good supply of everyday condiments and household/bath necessities that you may need. There are lots of games downstairs and the large kitchen table was great for family game night. Outside in the yard there is a nice bonfire pit that we made use of (probably best to buy dry wood from somewhere) and despite it being October our daughters even took one of the kayaks out on the lake for good while. The only hitch we had was being able to reach Angela after we booked but that was a VRBO issue and not an Angela issue, lol. After we finally got in touch with her, communication was very good.

Women's kayak group stayed for a long weekend of kayaking. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our potluck dinner, and this home is comfy and cozy. The location is great! Our first day we traveled to St Clair Lake to launch, kayaked through Six Mile Lake and back; very beautiful. Second day we planned to launch from the beach, but it was too rainy, windy and cold for any kayaking. But there's plenty to do in the area. Some went hiking, some went shopping and beachcombing, some just exploring. When I got back to the house after a long day beachcombing in the rain and wind, I got a warm fire burning in the wood stove in the great room, sipped my tea and looked out at Intermediate lake from my comfy perch on the sofa.. We'll definitely come back!

What a perfect location!!! The cabin was very roomy plenty of room for my family. The beds were very comfortable they provided sheets and towels.....Loved the sheets! Best part we were able to bring our tritoon and tie up at the dock. They have a wonderful sandy beach where we could sit with our feet in the water and watch the sunsets. They also provide kayaks, paddle boards and life jackets. My family had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be back next year!!
