The Only Thing We Overlook is Intermediate Lake! Hurry! 2019 is Halfway Booked!

What’s not to love about the BIG BLUE House on Central Lake! I have had the pleasure of staying at the lake house all four seasons of Michigan. Each time our families have had a wonderful experience. The home is well maintained and constantly being updated. It is always fun to return to see what’s new. The homeowners take great pride in their establishment and it shows. Our parties have included every age bracket and we all keep coming back for more. Whether it is a sunny day or a snowy day the view is spectacular. Then main house has five bedrooms and the lower level had been updated when we were last there. An additional six people can sleep there comfortably. In our group the teens/young adults gravitate there. When we are not on the water and enjoying the great outdoors, our group’s favorite gathering area is in the kitchen/dining/living area. We love to play games while we sit by the fire enjoying a beverage or two.

If you are looking to explore during your stay, we have found that there are numerous quaint cities nearby for shopping, the local pubs are always a hit, great local restaurants, and in the winter we love to hit the slopes.

Beautiful huge home perfect for memorable family vacations located on Central Lake! I have stayed at the Irish Twins' lake house many times and look forward to it yearly . My family fits perfectly with all of the numerous bedrooms for adults, teens and kids. Each bedroom is decorated differently with cozy beds and plenty of space to relax. We all hang out in the kitchen and dining room, make plans for the day, eat a great breakfast (usually made by my brother) and enjoy everything that Central Lake has to offer! The older adults love going into town to shop and walk around while the younger ones step right outside the house to swim, use our boat and play on the lake all day long. Every night, we all gather around the fire pit to relax lakeside and listen to the crickets' concert and survey the vast up-north skyscape of stars. We are always impressed at how the Irish Twins truly care about us and make sure we have everything we need for a fun vacation. I treasure my beloved time with my family at this place and would definitely recommend this home. A GEM!

I've been coming to the Lake House with family and friends for years. It's the perfect getaway! It has all the amenities you'd want in a vacation home - grill, firepit, lots of outdoor space, fully stocked kitchens (yep, that's "kitchens", plural), plenty of room for everyone, and just a comfortable, cozy vibe that makes me want to stay forever! The location is great too - if you want to venture away from the house, there are lots of options nearby - Central Lake, Bellaire, Torch Lake, Alden, Schuss/Shanty, Charlevoix.

The owners, the Irish Twins, really go out of their way to make sure we have a pleasant stay. As noted, the house is fully stocked with whatever you might need, and it's absolutely immaculate. I can't say enough great things about this house, and I look forward to my next visit!

Great Vacation!

We stayed at this lovely house right on Intermediate Lake and loved it. The twins were very accommodating, even allowing us to drop our stuff off early while it was being cleaned so we could go explore. They gave us all kinds of tips on places to go, things to do - they were so helpful!! The decks on the lake side are perfect for that morning coffee and the back deck is great for watching sunsets. The kitchen in the main house is not large but there are 2 others to use, so plenty of areas to cook in. There were 14 of us and it was ideal. The place was very clean and well maintained. We loved the location. It’s a great spot for exploring Central Lake, Bellaire, Alden and the Torch Lake area. You can walk to Central Lake and sample the goods at the distillery - what’s better! You won’t be disappointed !!

The Irish Twins think of everything! Our vacation is so relaxing and since the Lake House has everything we need, we only have to decide "should we swim or read a book or play a game or what we want to eat, or...".

The house is always immaculate and spacious (we've been coming up for years). Rooms are fresh and nicely decorated. Every year they update something so it's always a nice to look forward to returning. The lake is shallow and sandy until the end of the dock. The little ones play in the water while we sit in the water on floats and soak up the sun. We cannot wait until we return and see the latest improvements the Irish Twins have made this year.
