UPDATED Where Life is in Balance - At The 45th Parallel on the Chain O Lakes

We have UPDATED at the 45th Parallel.

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!!

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!

Wonderful
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.

Perfect spot
We had a great time and everything worked out perfectly. A group of 40 ish year old guys for a bachelor party and couldn’t have been better. The big yard and lake were great. Lots of beds for everyone and plenty of room. Great place.

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!

Nice lakehouse
Great property with large yard that leads to lake. Plenty of water toys! House is very accommodating, other than the lack of any air conditioning. Overall, awesome place.
