    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 year round hotspots:

All to do in Winter activities from skiing, tubing and even sleigh rides(www.shantycreek.com)

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

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

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

Or check out (www.wmta.org)  West Michigan Tourist Association for current happenings 

   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. Fall colors looking across Hanley Lake can't be beat!! If you have ever wanted to kayak some scenic water you have to experience the northern Chain-o-Lakes.

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 (excepting trash) 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 CERTAIN GROUPS PAY A CLEANING FEE (yet we reserve the right to assess one if our trust is taken advantage of). ( A $100.00 FEE IS ADDED TO GROUPS OF MORE THEN 6 PERSONS OR GROUPS WITH ANY CHILD UNDER 6 YEARS OLD). 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).

COMMENTS FROM GUESTS:

Highly Recommended!! Very charming yet modern with everything you need and have at your home. Clearly the owners take pride in their condo and want you to enjoy your stay as much as they do. A very peacefull setting with a wonderfull view of the water. Our teen age sons loved the lower level living area where they could watch movies and play games that the owner has provided. We loved the middle floor living area with dining room, kitchen and deck with open view onto the water. We couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear us. The kids loved the chips and drinks that the owner left for our use. We loved not having to bring bedding and towels or spend time at the laundrymat to wash and dry clothes and towels. Everything we needed from paper plates, paper towels, detergent, shampoe, toothpaste, condiments, was there. No need to constantly run up to the local store because you needed some simple item you would normally have at home. The owners have thought out your needs extremely well.

What a truly wonderful place. This condo has everything! The scenery is awesome. We would love to come up here again in the autumn. We particulary enjoyed the swimming pool as the weather was warm and the pool the perfect temperature. The location was perfect for all our day trips to our favorite Up North spots. The well-equipped kitchen and lovely deck made this an outstanding rental. Our family had a great time.

This is easily the best rental property I've rented while staying in the Central Lake area. The fact that it's so well-stocked with towels, blankets, dishes, pans, etc. is also a big plus. It's very easy to feel immediately at home at this property and it's very, very large and reasonably priced - I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in this area.

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!!!
