This is a private home located on Intermediate Lake. The home is in Central Lake, a charming Northern Michigan town. Central Lake is a few miles from Bellaire-home of Shorts Brewery and many other small town boutiques, restaurants, taverns and wineries. The home is located within 45 mins of Traverse City, Petoskey, Charlevoix and Elk Rapids. You are able to boat, dock and walk to downtown Central Lake where you will find a tavern, distillery, fudge/ice cream shop, grocery store, pizza shop boutique and BachMann's! Torch Lake is also minutes away with several boat launches and rentals.

The lake house sits directly across from the Intermediate Lake sandbar and Recreation Point.

Intermediate Lake is part of Michigan's Upper Chain O' Lakes. This location allows you to explore both the Upper and Lower Chain O' Lakes. Though they are not connected , boat launches are within minutes to explore the lower chain.

This home sits on 100ft of private frontage on Intermediate Lake. Intermediate Lake is a 1500+ acre all sports lake spanning nine miles. Intermediate Lake is part of Northern Michigan's Upper Chain of Lakes. The lake is great for boating, jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing or just relaxing and listening to the loons over your morning coffee. The frontage has very shallow water while gradually getting deeper, catering to both young children and adults.

The Unsalted Mermaid is located in the heart of wine country, minutes to Short's Brewery, Shanty Creek Golf and Ski Resort, quick drive to Torch Lake, Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Elk Rapids and Lake Michigan Beaches.

My family and I have been enjoying Intermediate Lake for over twelve years! My children have been able to swim in the lake most years from Memorial Day thru September.

The cottage is nestled on a two acre partially wooded lot. We do our best to keep insects, mice and other small pesky critters out of the cottage, but some may sneak in now and then. Guests accept that this is part of nature in Northern Michigan and will let me know immediately if they encounter problems that need attention so that I can quickly resolve them.
Located in Central Lake, this vacation home is on the waterfront. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Torch Lake and Torch Lake Park. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, and don't miss out on the ice skating and sledding.
