About this house rental
Welcome to your home away from home – where nothing but adventure awaits you. We are excited to host and help make some of the most memorable experiences with your loved ones here at the 45th Parallel.
Come and take in all the beauty that a Michigan getaway has to offer. We are centrally located so day trips to Traverse City, Mackinaw Island or several others are easily planned during your stay.
The cottage is turn-key for you to show up, gather, play and unwind. We offer a fully equipped kitchen with all necessary supplies needed. A large deck with all grilling needs (gas) and seating. There’s lots of room for many guests to still be comfortable. We have updated climate control throughout, providing a cool break from the day of playing in the spacious backyard and Six-Mile Lake, the back yard! There is a dock for your enjoyment to fish from (poles and tackle provided.) We provide lifejackets, both youth and adult; several kayaks - a double seater, a john boat, canoe, floatable relaxation station right off the dock to accommodate up to 7 people (NEW this year!) Lots of yard games; Corn-Hole, Volleyball. For you kayaking enthusiasts, this is the prime location. Drop in from the dock, the starting point of Six-Mile and your journey will allow you unlimited yakking with access to Torch Lake, Intermediate, Lake Belair, Wilson and Lake St. Claire, to name a few. There is a map illustrating the path hanging for your encouragement.
When the day has been exhausted, grab a seat on the deck and take in the most sensational sunsets. Roast marshmallows down by the lake around the fire-pit with ample seating provided. No city lights or noise to interfere with the serenity of nature surrounding you. For the avid Northern Lights chaser, you may get so lucky. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the gorgeous fog resting on Six-Mile Lake while the sun rises, and it magically evaporates.
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. The surrounding areas offer so many different activities, local events and a myriad of festivals. There's horseback riding, hiking trails, fruit orchards, wineries, breweries, gambling, magical Lake Michigan sunsets and some of Michigan's greatest golf courses. This property and surrounding area offer so much, you'll need at least a week to indulge. All of this is listed in our Guest Book upon arrival.

Wonderfully equipped cottage! Kayak, canoe, row boat and swim platform. Great all wood interior. Lots of beds. Well done kitchen. We'll be back!

Nice stay and the host was very quick to respond. A few things were outdated and needed
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Loved the accommodations and lake!! We brought our own pontoon and launched it from the public access across from the house. Easy in, easy out. Used the fire pit a couple of times. Loved the fire and not having to pay extra for the firewood. We’ve had to do that at other places we’ve stayed. Loved the house and layout. Plenty of space for everyone (8 adults, 1 infant). Easy access to neighboring towns. Went to Charlevoix one day (25min drive) and got pizza from BC pizza in town. Would stay here again!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The lake was lovely, and fairly quiet. Sunsets were beautiful. The extra large water float was a big hit! 8 of us spent a couple of hours on it, each day. Surprisingly, the two small bathrooms worked out fine, for the 10 of us.The cottage was clean, but not in good enough condition to warrant the price, we paid. We knew the furniture was older, from the photos. What we didn’t expect, was a cottage that nothing had been done to it for close to fifty years. To summarize, the cottage worked out fine for the 10 of us, but a myriad of small things added up. Again we expected better, for the money. It felt as if someone had lived there, forever, and when they moved out it was put on VRBO, with everything left as it was. It is a nice cottage. If attention to details are taken care of, it will be a great rental.
