Om boendet

Planera för höst & bortom @ moderna, privata sjöhus nÀra charmiga nordnÀra stÀder

Centralt belÀget för att leka utomhus eller njuta av den lugna skönheten genom fönstervÀggarna! PÄ hösten spolar böljande kullar med höstfÀrger. Besök Àppelodlingar. Fisk. Ta ut vÄra kajaker, stand-up paddelbrÀdor eller kanot lÀngs en lugn 75 mils sjökedja. Paddla förbi kungsfiskare och stor blÄ heron, sköldpaddor som ligger i höga grÀs och grÄtande willows lÀngs stranden. Stek sedan s'mores vid eldstaden under en himmel full av stjÀrnor.
Det Àr land som lever med moderna bekvÀmligheter: 50-tums smart TV med kabel, WIFI, en PS3, mÄnga dussintals cd-skivor, dvd-skivor, böcker och spel, ett fullt utrustat kök med mera.
Bli mysig i nyvÀttade morgonrockar och vackra strumpor i vÄr bekvÀma stuga Äret runt. Inget att göra utan slappna av.
Rubriken ut? Du Àr centralt belÀget mellan en handfull quintessential upp norr "stÀder" och söta stÀder. Du Àr nÀra Michigans största vattenpark, vingÄrdar, gallerier, antikviteter, golf- och skidbackar och det berömda Short's Brewery.
Kör 10 minuter till Grand Traverse Bay, dÀr du kan vandra pÄ stranden, simma eller klÀttra frusna vÄgor och lÀngdskidor pÄ preparerade spÄr (beroende pÄ sÀsong, naturligtvis!).
PÄ vintern, gÄ nedförsbacke eller lÀngdskidÄkning, slangar (nedförsbacke eller till och med pÄ den vackra nÀrliggande Jordan River!), eller skridskoÄkning pÄ vÄr sjö. Vandra sött upp i norra stÀder.
PÄ vÄren, gÄ morel jakt. Slingra sig lÀngs landsvÀgar och andas in grönningen av kullarna, dalarna, skogen och sjöstrÀnderna.
PÄ sommaren, simma, besöka bondens marknader, gÄrdsförsÀljning och festivaler. Eller bara tuppla pÄ ett av dina privata dÀck eller i en av hÀngmattorna.
Året runt kan du njuta av de böljande kullarna i Antrim County inuti din vackra, mysiga stuga.
Koppla av med en gratis flaska vin eller en hemgjord cappuccino och blick ut i en lugn sjö och skogen bortom.
(Och innan du glömmer, gillar & följ Hanley Lake Hideaway pÄ facebook för pop-up specialerbjudanden!)
Undangömt i en glacial dalen och inbĂ€ddat i bergen i nordvĂ€stra Michigan, byn ligger pĂ„ en 75-mil kedja av vackra sjöar. Vi Ă€r halvvĂ€gs mellan ekvatorn och nordpolen pĂ„ 45th Parallel. Minuter bort, besök Bellaire restauranger, kafĂ©er, eller Schuss Mountain mĂ€sterskap golfbanor och skidbackar. Ät middag pĂ„ en gourmetrestaurang nĂ„gra kilometer norr om oss eller pĂ„ dussintals vackra smĂ„stadskafĂ©er.
Det Àr en 3-minuters bilresa eller 15 minuters promenad till Central Lake, en sömnig, lugn by med en handfull charmiga affÀrer, en pub och flera restauranger. Och det Àr en lÀtt bilresa till Charlevoix, Petoskey, Traverse City och Gaylord, och de söta stÀderna Elk Rapids och Alden. (Vi har ett 40-sidigt vÀlkomstbrev med detaljer om omrÄdet.)
SĂ„ om din stuga ...
I sovrummet kan du njuta av en queen size-sÀng med antik sÀngbord och ny madrass medan du tittar ut mot sjön genom skjutbara glasdörrar. I det andra sovrummet: tvÄ massivt trÀ dubbla över hela vÄningssÀngar. Njut av vÄrt helt uppdaterade badrum.
Ät ute eller laga mat i vĂ„rt fullt utrustade kök - med prylar som strĂ€cker sig frĂ„n en espressomaskin, Kitchen Aid-mixer och elektrisk pannkakespanna till fĂ€rska örter och tomater som vĂ€xer utanför ytterdörren sommaren till hösten.
HÀr Àr en snabbgenomgÄng. Fullt ombyggt 2007 med Ärliga uppdateringar sedan den ljust fyllda planen med öppen planlösning innehÄller en:

We loved staying at this spot. My kids loved that there were a lot of toys. We did a bunch of kayaking and paddle boarding. The waterfront is on a pretty quiet part of the lake which made it great for swimming. We walked into town most days to go to the local ice cream and fudge shop. Also, the in town grocery market is very cute and had lot of good options. We so enjoyed this relaxing and fun up north vacation.

Beautiful

It was very relaxing. It was closer to neighbors than I thought it would be based on the pic of a wooded area. I thought there would be more space, but it was really just a little patch of trees. Other than that, the property was clean, we had a great time and I would definitely go back.

Up North getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at Hanley Lake Hideaway! The property is beautiful, and very clean! Our pups enjoyed the lake and we spent an afternoon just kayaking around the lake. Property owners are very easy to work with and extremely accommodating. It’s an easy trip to other area attractions, but also plenty to do locally.

Lovely stay in Central Lake Michigan

This lovely lake house sits right on Hanley Lake in the charming town of Central Lake. Water views are delightful and there are kayaks and canoes to enjoy the lake up close. Don't miss Bachman's General Store in town, or King Orchards which has the best cherry pies! Also be sure to visit the Bellaire Smokehouse to stock up on whitefish dips, sausages and fresh fillets! This house is centrally located, only 20 mins from Charlevoix, 30 mins from Traverse City and Petoskey, and 10 mins from Bellaire (and Short's Brewery!).

Cozy and Clean

This is the second time I've stayed here and for the second time I very much enjoyed my stay. The place is small but doesn't seem so. It is very well stocked has a wonderful view of the lake. Great for fishing if you're into it. The thing to consider when coming here (and the owner does warn her guests) is that the driveway is steep so if you come in the winter (I always do because I love to ice fish) have good snow tires or just park up on the street with the garage.

Awesome cottage with tons of fun activities!

We had a blast at this great cottage on the lake! We came during mid-winter break, so tons of snow and the lake was frozen. Met some really nice kids who let us ice fish with them and sled together. The cottage itself was stocked with so many fun things -- after a day of snowboarding, our kids played board games and watched movies at night. This cottage offered everything we could possibly need for our quick getaway! Great place to stay and we definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in the area!

Laurie- Your house was fantastic, we had a great time. It snowed the entire time we were there, letting us take advantage of snowshoeing in the Jordan River Valley, snowboarding at Shanty Creek and sledding on your backyard hill as well as the large sledding hill on the way up to Shanty Creek. The house had more to offer than we could possibly need.

At Home on the Lake

We cannot say enough about Laurie, our host, and this lakefront property. Every detail of our stay at this lovely home was well thought out and provided for. The weather turned cool during our stay and Laurie texted us to be sure we knew how to turn on the heat. She also sent us information on a fall harvest festival and some other fall activities nearby. Rain or shine, this home provided everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. On the lakefront, there was a hammock, canoes, kayaks, a great dock for viewing sunsets and a firepit...complete with a big pile of wood for campfires. Inside, we had board games, an extensive collection of dvds and cds, comfy couches and an amazing view of the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed, mixer, blender, baking and cooking pans, Keurig coffee maker...I felt like I was in my own kitchen! We always carefully consider where we will stay during our Michigan vacations and we plan to return to this property, it made our trip amazing! Thank you, Laurie!

Thanksgiving Getaway 2018

Our family enjoyed a VERY relaxing time at "The Hanley Lake Hideaway". Thanksgiving Day we watched the Macy's Day Parade and The National Dog Show while cooking our Thanksgiving feast in a very well equipped open concept kitchen. The views of the frozen Hanley lake made for a holiday feel and this home is very cheery and bright. With our belly's full we headed out (less than a 10 min.drive) to explore Barnes Co Park/Beach and walk our dog Macy. So beautiful how the Pine trees reach all the way to the shoreline.Very Picturesque! When evening came with so many indoor options (shelves are stocked full of games and movies) we watched "The Notebook" and enjoyed our homemade pumpkin pie. The next day we headed out to explore the nearby towns of Charlevoix and Petoskey (about a 20 minute drive). Charlevoix has such beautiful water views and is a scenic wharf side town where Petoskey has such unique architecture and is a great place to shop. It really was like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting for the weekend. We loved our stay. Thank you Laurie for sharing your home! Sincerely, Steve,Em,Alecia and Macy

A great property for an active family vacation in beautiful northern Michigan.

My family of four, including two 11-year-old boys, plus a dog, visited the property in August 2018 and stayed for a week. We came for outdoor activities and spending time on the lakes (Hanley Lake, Torch Lake, and Lake Michigan). The house was spacious and had plenty of amenities to keep us comfortable. There are window-unit air conditioners in the living room and master bedroom, but even in mid-August we didn't need them with nice breezes and temperatures mostly in the mid-70s and low-80s. Our boys used the bunk beds in the second bed room and enjoyed having lots of books, DVDs, and even PS3 video games to keep themselves occupied when we had a little downtime in between activities. We loved the property backyard on Hanley Lake and used several of the kayaks and the stand-up paddle board to travel up and down the lake. We fished from the dock with worms bought from the corner store down the road and my boys caught many panfish and had a blast. We used the backyard fire pit several times for s'mores and star watching. In town we enjoyed the ice cream and fudge shop, and the pizza diner. We swam at the beaches at Barnes Park and Fisherman's Island State Park...very nice beaches for Lake Michigan swimming. We took daytrips to Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. Overall, we had a great week and this property was a wonderful summer vacation. We would recommend this property to others.

Om vÀrden

Laurie Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Your hosts are two self-employed parents. We live full-time in Ann Arbor and visit up north whenever we can sneak in between guests. One of us adults is originally from North Wales and the other is originally from New York. For many decades now we've been permanent Michiganders, enjoying the joys of our glorious retreat on Hanley Lake.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

We love the beauty of this northwestern Michigan chain of lakes nestled among gentle rolling hills. We were ecstatic to find a tranquil lake we can see from almost every room (thanks to our renovation) in the cozy year-round house. (Note from Laurie: my gold standard for vacation heaven was a place where I could take a cup of coffee out onto the deck and see--and be in--the water within seconds.) We can draw or eat breakfast on the dock or in the dining room, play in the sand, take out a canoe, kayak or SUP, swim in warmer waters (instead of waiting until the end of August for the chill to subside in the big lakes), and fish. We can sled right out the back doors to the lake and cross-country ski nearby. We wander into a welcoming village to play and eat without being swarmed by overdressed tourists and overpriced food. We were delighted to find this peaceful little retreat, which offers the pleasures of an all-sports lake without the noise and chaos of one. The passing 'traffic' is generally kayaks, pontoons, and people fishing (including ice fishing in the winter).The fresh, clear water in Hanley Lake flows 75 miles thru a chain of 14 lakes. All-sports lake without the usual traffic of one! We were thrilled to discover we're just a few miles from the long sandy beaches and waves of Lake Michigan, which are great fun in every season.

We're glad to do day trips to fudgey towns like Alden, Charlevoix and Petoskey, to wander Traverse City or even more nearby Bellaire. But we love coming home, whether it's raining, snowing, or blazing hot: to play outdoors, or hang out inside doing jigsaw puzzles, playing games, making soup or brownies, or drawing the changing colors of water, sky and trees. We love going out on the placid water and paddling past kingfishers and great blue heron, turtles nestling in the tall grasses, and weeping willows along the shore, or watching the water from our comfortable cottage. It always refreshes us to get away here.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Thanks to our renovation, we relish the fresh, open-plan kitchen with views outside almost everywhere. We went window-crazy, creating four sets of sliding doors in the connected living and dining rooms. Each year we add something (or some things!) new. Recent additions include a new fridge with ice maker and stove, a private deck and sliding doors off the master bedroom; tempered glass deck panels for safety and an unobstructed view of the lake; a fully renovated bathroom; a 50 inch smart TV and DVD players, sturdy wood bunk beds in the second bedroom, a new master bedroom mattress, upgraded driveway, and window air conditioners for the bedrooms and living room.

We're constantly updating and adding CDs, DVDs, games, kids' toys and books, and a host of comforts for our guests--and for us! We're in heaven in the summertime, plus we keep discovering new enticing treats during the other three seasons. In winter we can watch people ice fishing on the lake; I like sketching the winter scenes from a deliciously warm, light-filled living room. We can climb frozen waves at nearby Grand Traverse Bay, or go tubing, downhill and cross-country skiing at nearby Schuss Mountain (or tubing down the lovely Jordan River--every season!). Or take in Michigan's largest indoor water park and visit sweet and peaceful up-north cities and villages.

Springtime brings Morel mushroom hunting, birding, bike rides and walks in a lush landscape; summer brings kayak rides, swimming, and playing; fall leaves are stunning and apple orchards and color tours beckon.
