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.
