OCT Discount Where 'Life is in Balance' - At The 45th Parallel on Chain O' Lakes

DISCOUNTED OCTOBER

Come and take in all the beauty that Michigan brings in October. The crisp air, changing colors, apple festivals. There is something for everyone to enjoy at the 45th Parallel this Fall.

We now have ice cold Air Conditioning throughout and have put in a superior water heater to ensure non-stop hot showers for all after the days play!! We have floatation toys, life-jackets (youth and adult), plenty of chairs, fishing poles and lure (limited.)

Come and enjoy our home away from home with the gorgeous Six Mile Lake in your backyard. As the start to the Chain O' Lakes waterway, Six Mile offers access to sport fishing, power boating, pontoon cruises, paddle crafts and beautiful scenery. At the end of a relaxing day, enjoy roasting marshmallows and hot dogs at the campfire - look up to a glorious milky-way of stars and an occasional glimpse of the Northern Lights. The surrounding areas offer so many different activities, local events and a myriad of festivals. There's horseback riding, hiking trails, fruit orchard's, wineries, breweries, gambling, magical Lake Michigan sunsets and some of Michigan's greatest golf courses. This property and surrounding area offers so much, you'll need at least a week to indulge!

We do have a small John Boat that you are able to use for fishing but Michigan Law requires you to have a fishing license over the age of 12. You can apply for a guest/day license to enjoy some fishing on Six Mile Lake. Bring your own gear!

Centrally Located
We enjoyed all aspects of the house and was centrally located to other major cities like Petoskey. The only downside was that the lake was not swimmable.

Nice space for large group.The water front was great with the very warm weather. No issues except in the back bathroom shower. Shower faucet in very bad shape- very difficult to use, falling apart. More glasses would be helpful

Amazing stay had everything and more that it stated. Pleasantly surprised to find the yard was enormous and allowed the teens to play hours of yard games and some extremely intense spike ball!

Great golf trip stay
Awesome place - loved the dock and firepit, great outdoor areas. Only two rolls of TP for a 4-day stay, but I am sure that was a small oversight and everything else was fantastic. Great value, great surrounds.

Perfect Lakehouse with everything you could need
This place blew us away. From all the water vehicles (john boat, canoe, kayaks (2 person and 1 person). A shed filled with life jackets, floats, and everything else you could possibly need to enjoy the lake. Great gas gill and all the tools we needed to cook and plate everything up. Very well stocked kitchen with tons of spices. Would highly recommend this place! The appliances are a little dated but it is what you would expect with a lake house. We will be back!

This house had a lot to offer. We actually spent 2 days doing kayaking, fishing, playing games and cooking at the house. Communication with the owners was great. I loved the stay and the kids keep asking if we can go back!

Perfect Family Getaway!
Had a great time with family and friends! There were four adults and six children with plenty of room to accommodate all of us. We loved that we were able to park our jet ski trailers in the backyard and leave the skis in the water. We also loved how there were plenty of water activities provided! Plenty of fishing rods, chairs, rafts, etc. Plus firewood! The house was adorable and clean upon arrival. Host was extremely responsive and friendly. We would love to come back! Thanks again!

Gorgeous view of the lake
We stayed for 7 nights. We had two families of 4 stay for a total of 8 people. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably and live. The lake view is beautiful. We did enjoy several fires in the provided fire pit and made s’mores! The owner made sure that we had as much firewood as we needed. He also gave us awesome recommendations for a breathtaking sunset view and restaurant. Overall our vacation was very relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you for everything!

We had a small group of guys together for a bachelor party. We all wanted something simple and the ability to go fishing. This place provides all of that. Local dining and drinking were all in close proximity. 10/10 would book this place again.

Enjoyed the stay, would come back
We enjoyed our stay. The manager was very responsive to our messages, and Mark the owner lived nearby and did everything to fix little things and make our stay enjoyable. The house was large and comfortable enough for our party of 5 adults and 4 boys. The house has no A/C. Luckily, the weather cooperated: top 82 F in the afternoon, and the house cooled down sufficiently by bed time. The 2nd floor rooms were at all times warmer than the 1st floor ones but still OK. Strangely, there were no mosquitoes around and not many other flying nuisances. Rooms: 1st floor: a very tiny and dark master bedroom with full bath (the most private BR in the house), and a huge king-size "main" BR with 3 windows and a beautiful lake view. The 2nd bathroom/shower is outside the main BR. The 2nd floor has two connecting rooms, one with privacy door and one without privacy. The noise isolation between the floors is practically absent. The kitchen is big and sufficiently equipped. The big dining room doubles as a laundry room - strange but OK. The deck overlooks the lake and is very nice in the morning and around sunset; too hot in the direct sun between 2 and 7 pm. Boys used the blue 2-seater kayak to reach the small kiddie public beach on the opposite side of the lake. The hot water tank in the house is small: enough for 2-3 people to take a shower but not for 4th or 5th. There were some other things in the house that could have been better, but nothing major. I'd come back.

A Work in Progress
The 1st 3 days we had a contractor on-site building a fence, Master suite had a strong mold smell, water heater was too small to handle 5 guests showering. The #1 issue is no air conditioning. It was not in the listing at the time I reserved it. The house indoor temp was mid 80's the evening we arrived. We had a couple days of upper 80's outdoors, which made the house unbearable. We left a day early due to all these things combined. Disappointed and Frustrated would be the summary. Too expensive for the product received.

July 5th-9th Stay
Our vacation was one to be remembered. The house sits out away from everything which brings on peaceful nights. Although it’s away from everything, it’s a quick commute to most attractions that our family wanted to see. The only downsides in my opinion would be the house seemed to have a hard time staying cool, especially in the upstairs loft area and the neighbor having some dogs that didn’t appreciate us being there. Overall, my family had a wonderful time during our stay!
