About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Escape to the peaceful Off the Hook on Perch Lake in South Boardman, where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, and relaxing in a beautiful setting. This lovely location welcomes you to unwind and soak in the natural beauty around you.

The charming 3-bedrooms (one being the private upper loft room), 2-bath home comfortably fits up to eight guests, featuring a king-sized bed, two queen-sized beds, and fun custom bunk beds perfect for kids, teens, and smaller adults. Just a note: the bunk beds are 70 inches long, a bit shorter than the usual 75 inches.

The home has three cozy levels connected by a distinctive spiral staircase, which might be a consideration for young children or those with mobility concerns.

Enjoy amenities like air conditioning, internet, sheets, and towels—though a dishwasher isn't included.

Outside, there's plenty to enjoy—fire up the grill, launch your boat (electric motors only) for a day of fishing, cozy up around the fire pit, or unwind in the hot tub. Water lovers will enjoy the available kayaks, paddle boat, swim platform, and dock, all set on a lake with a gentle sandy bottom. Inside, the game room offers fun with a pool table, ping pong top, and an electric dartboard.

Located in the friendly community of South Boardman, Hazel Sandeen Butler Memorial Park is just a short walk at the corner of Boardman Road and School Street, where the original South Boardman School once stood. This charming park is perfect for family outings with a t-ball field, a small basketball court, and a playground, all nestled in a quiet neighborhood atmosphere.


Pet owners are welcome to bring along a well-behaved dog with an additional nonrefundable fee. Just kindly remember to clean up after your furry friends to keep the space nice for everyone.

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.

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!

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.

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.
