Great Location

The house was much larger than it appeared in the listing. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The beach/dock area was great for kids with clear water and a nice sandy lake bottom. The house was located in a nice central location to many of the attractions in NW Michigan-Torch Lake, Glenn Arbor, Petoskey, etc. I would definitely rent from Sherry again.

Pure Michigan

Thank you so very much for an amazing week at Intermediate Lake! We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. It is a perfect spot for a family vacation and very kid friendly. Perfect set up to allow the 'big kids' some space and little kids feel very at home here. The lake is great for daily boat trips, kayaking, and beachfront sand play. Sunsets are amazing, and the opportunity to see bald eagles and hear loons is priceless. The town of Central lake is charming, and hosts a great grocery store. The owner/manager is very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place.

Great Week

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with 8 adults and 10 children. There was plenty of room for all of us inside and outside. The large family room area was perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. The house is very close to the sandy beach, and there were kayaks and a paddle boat to use as well as the "otter island" floating dock, and slide which the kids used every day. There is also a lot of room in the yard and in front of the house, for parking, etc. Overall, a very positive experience.
