About this property

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

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 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.

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.

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 !

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.

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!

Great getaway

I went to this property with my two sons 18 and 23 and sons girlfriend 23 and we loved it. There was a lot to do right there on the property such as games, kayaking, fishing and swimming The lake is beautiful and it’s close to other things to do such as Traverse city and Fife lake. I’m looking forward to our next visit.

Fun vacation home

We only stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the home. It was close enough to Traverse City and ski resorts. Being on the lake was nice. The only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars was because the hot tub would not get hot after the first night.
