Escape to the serene Off the Hook on Perch Lake in South Boardman, where fishing, swimming, and relaxation await. This picturesque location invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty surrounding the area. The charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home accommodates up to 8 guests, offering a king-sized bed, two queen-sized beds, and custom bunk beds ideal for kids, teens, and smaller adults. Note that the bunk beds are 70 inches long, slightly shorter than the typical 75 inches.

Amenities include air conditioning, internet, sheets, and towels, though a dishwasher is not provided. A unique feature of this home is its 3-level spiral staircase, adding a touch of character.

For pet lovers, a well-behaved dog is welcomed with an additional nonrefundable fee, but owners must be diligent in cleaning up after their pets at all times.

Outside, indulge in a variety of activities, including using the grill, launching boats for fishing (electric motors only), enjoying cozy evenings around the fire pit, and relaxing in the year-round hot tub. Water enthusiasts will delight in the available kayaks, pedal boat, swim platform, and dock, all set against the backdrop of a lake with a soft sand bottom. Inside, find entertainment in the game room featuring a pool table, a ping pong top, and an electric dartboard.

Situated in the heart of South Boardman, Hazel Sandeen Butler Memorial Park is just a stone's throw away at the intersection of Boardman Road and School Street, where the original South Boardman School once stood. This park is perfect for family outings, featuring a t-ball field, a small basketball court, and a playground, all nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood setting.

Great view

         

Review date: 2024-10-21

Review by
Such a pretty fall view. There were more options than what was listed in the description. Paddle boat, row boat and the kayaks. Lake does not allow motors which wasn't listed so I'm glad we didn't bring a boat. The only downside was there wasn't a dishwasher. Some rooms didn't have vents and there were thin quilts so more bedding blankets would've been nice.

So glad you enjoyed the view and amenities. We appreciate your suggestions. There are extra blankets for each bed in the closets.

Great experience. Nice rental. Clean, kitchen well equipped. Small but comfortable, just enough room for family with kids. (In our group, 5 adults and 3 kids). Very quiet and fun place to hang out! Would consider renting again.

Beautiful home on a lake

Review by Mary S.
We had a lovely time at Off The Hook. Beautiful view. Loved having the ping-pong table,pool table and the dart board. This place had a washer and dryer which was nice to wash our things before we headed home. The only negative thing was the beds were not very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing setting on quiet lake

         

Review date: 2023-09-19

Review by
This house had a relaxing atmosphere on a quiet lake. We were able to kayak and fish. Very much enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the lake. The home itself could have been a little cleaner and a better stocked kitchen. We were able to cook our dinners there, but took a little effort to figure out how to work with the supplies we had.
4 out of 5 stars
Manager Response:
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed a quite respite at this lakeside home. As our homes are individually owned, each home may have a different complement of kitchen supplies. We are happy to bring supplies, as well as send a housekeeper.

Had a great experience at this rental! On a small inland lake that's great for kayaking/canoeing. Relatively close to Traverse City and Short's Brewing. Had all the amenities needed for a great stay.

Peaceful Perch Lake

         

Review date: 2023-07-31

Review by Janet K.
A nice, peaceful location on a quiet lake. Very well maintained inside and lakeside. Roadside looks a little rundown, with porch boards in need of repair. The hot water heater died and went without for 30 hours. Management handled it professionally, but there was not any $ compensation. However we would consider renting again in the future

Great First Family Vacation

         

Review date: 2023-04-13

Review by Ashley B.
We had a great time taking our 6 month old son on his first road trip. The home was perfect for the three of us, and we could have easily fit more people comfortably in the home. We spent a lot of time in the basement playing games! The home was very clean and had everything we needed for the long weekend! We were able to book this location last minute after we were contacted by a different rental company that our original home was overbooked and we were already on our way up north. They were so easy to work with to get into the home same day! We appreciate the last minute availability in the middle of winter just before a 10 inch snow storm!

The property was beautifully maintained, very cute, quaint cottage. Great fire pit area, hot tub was awesome. The kayaks and paddle boat was a nice touch for a relaxed day/evening. The game room was a hit for our girls weekend gathering. I would highly recommend this beautiful place!!!!!

Perfect little house for our group of 6

Review by Susan L.
We had 3 couples and it was a perfect little house. The game room was awesome along with a hot tub. Each bedroom was on a separate floor and it had two full baths with linens. Traverse City was a short 30 minute ride and Kalkaska was about 15 minutes. Would definitely rent again.

Review by Eric S.
We had a nice stay with grandparents, parents, and two younger children. The house was great and the lake was very nice. The paddle boat and kayaks were great to have for the lake. The hot tub and fire pit were great for cool evenings. The kids loved the game room in the basement. It was a bit of a drive to other things but we enjoyed the quiet, seclusion, and scenery on the way to other places we wanted to visit.

Relaxing lake cottage

         

Review date: 2022-07-12

Review by
The home was comfortable. The lake was peaceful. My family hung out in the sun while I fished all day. We enjoyed our stay. I brought nice blow up rafts for everyone which was great to lay on. There is seaweed in front of the home so it was nice to be able to float over it to the deeper water. I was a little worried about the boat launch next door but it was actually nice. We used it to load into the kayaks and the row boat. It also provides a sandy shallow area for little kids to play in the water. The kitchen did not have measuring cups or spoons so either bring them with you or buy some from family dollar down the street. It also didn’t have a large/deep pot so bring one in case you are trying to cook a lot of food. On the other hand, the kitchen had great knives. Sleeping bear dunes is a little over an hour away and traverse city is about 30-40 min. The nearest grocery store is about 30 min. Overall we had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay.

Review by Brittany H.
Was a little disappointed with the amount of "yard" but that didnt stop us from having a great time. We liked having the bedrooms on separate levels and it was great for our big family. We loved the game room downstairs and loved the convenience of having the boat launch right next to the property.

Review by Micah K.
We arrived after traveling all day and the place was pleasantly clean and well put together. We were bummed to find out that the hot tub wasn’t working, but with a phone call to up north rentals they had someone out fixing it the next day. Great activity options for a family with the rec room and multiple water toys. Can’t speak highly enough about this place as it was exactly what we were looking for.

Girls Winter Weekend Getaway

         

Review date: 2022-03-10

Review by Tamara W.
Great place and exactly what we needed! The following are not complaints. Just feedback so it can be fixed. You can tell this place is not "lived" in due to general maintenance that needed to be done. The front closet we did not use for our jackets because the door wanted to come right off. One chair was so wobbly, I'm surprised we didn't fall out of it. (This I managed to fix). The slider (off the dining area) the handle came off in my hand. I fixed it the best I could without having a screwdriver. The downstairs bedroom's carpet was wet due to the amount of rain we had gotten on top of ice. The whole place was an ice rink with no salt or sand in site. The dart board's darts had tips broken so most were unusable. There was pork sausage(in the packages) and general trash on the back deck and in the back yard. We definitely left the place better than we found it.Again, this is feedback to help improve the place. Would I stay again? Absolutely! No place will ever be perfect. Just wanted to help give details. Thanks for a fabulous girls weekend! We so enjoyed!

Review by Alfred J.
The house was perfect! We had a family vacation, and it had everything we needed and more. It rained part of the time, but that was no problem! This house has an outdoor area with a hot tub and a game room on the bottom floor that kept everyone entertained. The house was very clean, and each bedroom is on its own floor which was nice.The owners were great with communication leading up to our trip, and we didn’t have any issues our entire stay. Torch Lake is close, and Charlevoix and a Traverse City are in reasonable drive time away. There were also kayaks and a paddle boat for the small lake that this house is on, which was nice!We HIGHLY recommend this house, and will be looking to book it for future vacations!
