Great location in a quiet neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay on pretty Hanley Lake. We did not do as much kayaking as planned due to weather, but visited nearby Glacial Hills mt. biking trail system numerous times. We also biked around the lake several times. The cottage was clean, very adequate, and the owner a fantastic communicator. Thanks Jennifer!

August Family Vacation

Since some of our family members had a great experience renting this house in December, we rented it for our bi-annual family vacation. The house and location were perfect! The property owners were excellent to work with. We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to enjoy water play, fishing in the lake, and touring Central Lake and East Jordan.

Perfect Northern Michigan Location

Fourth year in a row we stayed at this cottage. Just as good as the previous years. Nice quiet lake and easily accessible to intermediate lake for more recreational activities. New owners had some nice upgrades. Hope to stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by jennifer Brant

Family of 5 and new owners of this property since Aug 19, 2022. We live full time in Colorado but have been visiting northern Michigan since before we were married 17 years ago. It is our favorite place! Our children are so thrilled to start making new memories here and we have just fallen in love with the people of Central Lake and the quiet yet beautiful little village. We are so excited about this beautiful vacation spot and are blessed to be able to share it with guests. We intend to start scheduling updates and upgrades to the property over time to make it even more comfortable and beautiful.
