About this property

Hot tub & Pool table! Waterfront home on Perch Lake outside Traverse City

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 eight 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 welcome 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, paddle 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.

Relaxing, Secluded Property on Beautiful Lake

We loved staying here and swimming in the lake! Was extremely relaxing and the lake was a great temp and clean. Good location to go canoeing on the Au Sable. Bugs got us a little bit, but that's Michigan for you. Thanks again for letting us stay!

Beautiful place

We had a wonderful time. The only negative thing was the beds were not that comfortable. Other than that it was clean, tons of stuff to play in lower level pool table, ping-pong, darts & smart tv's. We Would definitely stay here again. 😊

Great Vrbo

My husband and I took our kids, their friends and his mother for a long weekend! The house is amazing for an up north vacation home. The decor is beautiful. The house itself was great for both kids and adults. The only bad thing is it is right next to a public boat launch which we did not realize. There was lots of activity including people, dogs and boats that made the home feel less private. Otherwise is was amazing!

Nice Getaway

Nice backyard with views of lake. Caught and released good sized fish from the lake. Mentioned in listing that there are stairs to get in the house (and Inside) and that is very accurate but was perfectly fine for our group. Bugs were outside but it’s by water and in between some trees so bring bug spray while enjoying the outdoors. The bugs loved the lights on the hot tub at night so they would swarm by it. Overall would recommend to anyone looking to get away and have some scenic and peaceful views of Michigan.

Great time, but……

Very nice inside and lakeside. Great accommodations, but a little rundown from the roadside. That view is the first impression. The porch and front deck boards need repair and in serious need of weeding. During our stay the hot water heater died and we went 30 hours without. Repairs were made and the rental folks followed up, but received no compensation. In spite of that we would consider another stay.

Very Nice home, very clean loved the separated areas for kids and adults. All 3 levels had balconies. The host checked in with us to.make sure everything was good and we figured everything out. (Was very nice of her! ) At first our dog had difficulty with the spiral staircase but quickly overcame them . The teens were fascinated with the spiral staircases! Nice firepit and chairs to relax around . Overall great stay !

R & R at the Lake

Cozy and clean home away from home. Gave us all our own space and thoroughly enjoyed the deck with an awesome view of the lake. Got in a game of pool too. Property management was great to work with. Would recommend Off The Hook to anyone looking to decompress with family/friends.

Great Getaway

Great place! The home was clean and inviting. Fires by the water were beautiful and fishing on the lake was fun. We would love to come back with the kids. My only complaint would be the hot tub smelled slightly like amonia. I think the chemicals need to be adjusted.

Boardman House stay

We enjoyed our stay; the house was clean. It was very cute. We came up on our Harley's to see the fall colors it was a little rural, but we still enjoyed our time. My only suggestion would be to clean up the landscaping other than that we would stay again.

Great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Great time at this house on the lake

The house was very clean and well kept. Many windows that overlook the lake. Location is very nice. 30 minutes or so to Traverse City, about 1 hr to Petoskey. Also many nice golf courses near by. Pretty secluded but there is a market 15 minutes away. Only missed 5 star IMO was the area down to the lake. They did not provide any pictures since it has weeds and very small. Only a small path to dock. Firepit very close to house since there is no room. Also on the deck was a nice gas grill. After buying food to grill, found out the propane tank was empty. Would expect a $15 tank fill up would be included especially for the price we paid. We made the best of things and still had a great time. Thank you !!

A Cute House with a Few Caveats

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is super-cute and the lake is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding since it's a no-wake lake. I do think it's worth mentioning that this house is right next to the boat ramp for the lake, which is important because residents in the community seem to think that the phrase "boat ramp" is synonymous with "dog park" and "public beach." It would be fine if the community would use the spot to just launch their boats but on a few days there were a lot of people loitering around and dogs running off-leash and it honestly made me a bit uncomfortable--the place did not feel very private or secure when that was going on. I'm sure many people would be fine with this feature but I think it should be in the property's description so that people know what they are signing up for. The house is in pretty good condition but could use some TLC when concerning the carpet in the basement, and I didn't use the upstairs bedroom but it needs its own AC unit. It would have been way too hot for me to stay up there. The decor is really cute and unified, and the view of the lake from the house is really lovely.
