About this property
Relaxing Year-Round Lakefront Retreat! Newly Remodeled Kitchen!
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Angela Fleishans
The Flying Fish is owned by Angela and Tim and Angela's dad, Rick. Angela and Tim are the proud parents (and Rick the proud grandpa) of 2 daughters, ages 15 and 11. We all have fond memories of visiting family cabins in northern Michigan. We want the same for our children and we hope to extend the memories to your family and friends as well. We purchased the Flying Fish because life is busy! It’s hard to find time to truly unplug and focus on having fun together as a family and with our extended family and friends. We know that this is just going to get more challenging as the kids age and become involved in more and more activities. Our goal is to create an environment at the house where the kids want to go and spend time and have fun with us and where we all want to come with our friends to have fun and reconnect.
Why they chose this property
We have been traveling to various locations in Northern Michigan our whole lives. Tim grew up on a lake in Lapeer and has always dreamed of owning a place on the water. Angela learned to ski at Shanty Creek, Boyne Mountain, and Boyne Highlands. We also enjoy trips to Traverse City as a family and Charlevoix, Petoskey, Mackinaw City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes are always fun as well. The location in Central Lake on Intermediate Lake combines all of these amenities in the yard or within a short drive.
What makes this property unique
We loved this home from the minute we walked through the door. Wonderful lake views from the wrap-around deck, with multiple french doors to catch the breeze off the lake. The pine ceiling and wood floors give the up-north cabin feel we were looking for in a vacation home. We have tried to think of everything to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. There is plenty to do outside and in - kayaks, paddleboards, plenty of beach toys, a hammock, a foosball table, many board games, and several video game systems. We also have several toys for babies and small children and 2 pack and plays and a high chair, so you won't have to lug everything with you! There is fun for the whole family! We have updated the lower level with new flooring and we have purchased new furniture in much of the home. The upper (newly remodeled!) kitchen and lower bar area are fully stocked even adding some more gourmet items like a Kitchen Aid mixer, for the chefs in your group. Let us know if you would like something added to the house. We are constantly trying to update and add amenities for all to enjoy!
