     Lakes are looking great.   SUMMER IS FADING but a GREAT FALL IS ON THE WAY! TEMPS WILL HOLD STEADY WELL INTO SEPTEMBER. Warmer weather brings warmer water in lakes  and pool (72 degrees in both).   Selected timeslots still available. Time to plan for FALL COLORS.  Leave FORD FIELD behind and watch the LIONS "up North" with a lake view at halftime. A GREAT vacation location for all seasons. Have you been yet???

    Right on Hanley Lake (connects to the upper 6 chain-o-lakes. www.fishweb.com/maps/antrim/chain-o-lakes/index.html). To the South all-sports Intermediate Lake is 6 miles long and great for skiing, tubing or fishing, while to the North the upper chain of Benway, Wilson, Ellsworth, St. Claire and Six Mile Lakes are all accessible. We will find a place for you to tie up your own boat or jet ski while staying. Tons of activities and places to go for summer enjoyment (including a regulation swimming pool on site) but don't miss the Petosky Stone Festival  (www.petoskeystonefestival.com) the end of May and Central Lake's Classic Car Show (www.joelshooks.com) in June. Newly renovated Blue Pelican Restaurant (www.thebluepelican.com) just a walk across the street. (Curious about haunted places??)  Apple and cherry orchards a short drive away for the best in local fruit. 

   Close enough to the ski resorts (Shanty Creek and Schuss Mountain www.shantycreek.com) come winter for downhill, cross country or sleigh rides. Marvel at "fall colors" northern Michigan style and enjoy an outdoor fire in the metal fire pit or simply curl up next to one of the two gas fireplaces and enjoy the R & R. Within walking distance of Central Lake Village with all of the small city charm most people yearn for when traveling "up North." You will not find a more pleasant little town with so much to offer in and around the area.(www.central-lake.com) and (www.antrimcounty.org).

 Plan an exciting daytrip to any one of the following nearby summer hotspots:

Trendy Charlevoix for great shops and eats. (www.charlevoix.org)

Beautiful Barnes Park Shoreline on Grand Traverse Bay. (www.antrimcounty.org/barnespark.asp)

Grass River Nature Area to take in the Northern Outdoors. (www.grassriver.org) 

Quaint Brownwood Acres for markets and the best doughnuts made fresh. (www.porkyfarm.com/brownwood.html)

Scenic Dead Man's Hill for a view very much worth the drive. (www.michiganbackroads.com/attractions/deadmansHill.htm)

   Short driving distance to Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petosky, and the North beach of beautiful Torch Lake (everyone in Michigan knows how stunning being on Torch Lake is!) www.fishweb.com/maps/antrim/index.html  plus Shanty Creek resorts in nearby Bellaire for winter ski or summer golf (www.hanleylakecove.com & click on Points of interest)) or stay at "home" and use the onsite pool for soaking up the sun in summer or ice skate/ice fish on Hanley Lake (if frozen enough), cross country ski or even snowshoe in the colder months. Spring looks awesome in Central Lake but SUMMER on the Lakes can't be beat! Come see for yourself and find out why people RAVE about NORTHERN MICHIGAN. Check out all the great things to do in Michigan for 2010 at www.michiganfun.com

ADDITIONAL PROPERTY INFORMATION

Our condo has a deeded boat slip which we can make available for your own boat use during your stay (1 watercraft only). Our old fashioned web folding chairs can easily set up nicely on the dock for evening sunset or daytime sunning. The North access to Torch Lake at Eastport is 15 minutes away and nearby Thurston Park  has a public boat launch and public swimming beach on Intermediate Lake. Additionally we have a 14 foot two person kayak with paddles and PFDs to allow guests short or longer tours on any of the 6 connecting lakes. (Guests must comply with all safe boating practices). We must insist, however, that none of our boating property be removed from the premises, due to insurance considerations. We also can help guests arrange for a pontoon boat rental through local marina facilities. All connecting lakes (Intermediate, Hanley, Benway, Wilson, Ellsworth, St. Clare and Six Mile)  are "all sports." Great fishing for walleye, pike, perch and many varieties of bass. You will never kayak  more beautiful interconnecting waterways than the Chain-o-Lakes.

The onsite condominium pool (directly across from our unit) is great for kids but they must be supervised as there is no dedicated lifeguard on duty.

We provide all bed linens, sheets, and towels (washer and dryer available). Bring your own beach towels and food and drink for your stay. Everything else awaits your arrival! We do ask that you remove whatever you bring in to mimimize our turn over cleaning. We promise you a stay in a spotless, comfortable home.

To make a reservation we require a $300.00 deposit 6 weeks prior to the week of rental (refundable if circumstances dictate - we are honest and understanding folks). Some summer rental periods may require a deposit placed much earlier in the season to reserve peak summer times. We ask for full payment for the balance in our hands 4 weeks before the rental week begins to lock in any reservation. We reserve a timeslot upon receipt of deposit and we "lock in" timeslots upon full rental payment. Once "locked in" we will never back out of OUR committment for a given rental timeslot.  TO SAVE YOU MONEY, WE DO NOT REQUIRE THAT OUR GUESTS PAY A CLEANING FEE (yet we reserve the right to assess one if our trust is taken advantage of). All funds paid in U.S. dollars, please. Credit cards can be accepted via phone authorization between owner and prospective renters (may require a 2 day processing). Lock box codes for access provided upon satisfactory funds clearing bank processing. No exceptions. Thank you.

  Our availability calendar is updated weekly (please check calendar below to see if your desired time slot is available).

Absolutely lovely condo, spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything one could desire for a wonderful vacation. Large rooms and comfortable beds...the condo is centrally located to many visitor attractions. One evening we even saw 3 small deer playing at the condo entrance...water fowl could be seen daily on Hanley Lake and a 5 minute boat ride under the bridge took us to fishing and swimming on Intermediate Lake! Would definately rerent this property...the owners are so accommodating and truly wish for their guests to be comfortable and happy in their beautiful home during ones stay. Thank you Gary and Sheri!!!

What an amazing place! My family including my two month old son, wife, father-in-law and brother-in-law stayed at this wonderful place in the end of July. It is very spacious and clean. We were able to spread out and not be on top of each other. This was our 2nd year in a row at this place and we will be back next year!

What a great place for an Up North escape. The condo is amazingly neat and clean, and has just about everything you could want -- from a kitchen that's great for cooking (and stocked with the necessary implements) to gear for enjoying the lake. Tons of room and very quiet -- perfect for relaxing. The location is great if you want to just relax there or visit the towns and lakes in the surrounding area. Our two boys, ages 3 and 5, loved staying there and checking out the docks along the lake. We hope to visit again sometime soon. Thanks.

The location coupled with the immaculate appearance of the condo far exceeded our expectations. Beautiful evening views, kayak rides down the lake and short walks to downtown Central Lake made this probably our most enjoyable and relaxing vacation to date. Frankly I think our family never wanted to leave. From map guides to video games, the homeowner had included everything we could possibly need to get the most out of our stay. The location allows for day trips north to Mackinac Island or south to Traverse City. The condo was well laid out and could have acommodated a group much larger than our family of four. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later. We're already planning our next visit!
