We had a wonderful stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location was fantastic, with beautiful water views right from the property. The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed to feel comfortable throughout our stay.We especially loved being able to walk to grab coffee in the mornings and enjoyed renting a boat for the day, which made our trip even more memorable. Everything was convenient, relaxing, and exactly as described.Overall, this property had everything we were looking for, and we would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!

Nice place & great location

Really enjoyed the park and beach. Dog friendly area and pleasant neighborhood. Good restaurants for dinner nearby. One small bathroom might be a challenge if more than 2 people are staying here but it was fine for the 2 of us.Well stocked kitchen was much appreciated.

fun-filled getaway

We totally enjoyed our time at your beach cottage. It was clean, adorable, roomy and well stocked with everything we would need. Communication with the owner was very prompt and easy. On top of everything we were able to bring our dog which doesn't happen often. Elk Rapids is the sweetest small vacation town. Thank You

Quaint Elk Rapids home

Great place to stay. I can’t say enough about the host Miriah. She was so helpful and available to answer any questions. The house was clean and cozy and decorated adorable! I would definitely recommend staying here! I think the summer would be awesome as we stayed in the middle of a blizzard but still had a great experience! The view of the bay is right out the front window! Great location close to everything we love in Elk Rapids!

a relaxing trip

The property was very nice and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. The beach and playground are a perfect place for the kids to play without having to pack up and travel far from home. The downtown area was withing walking distance. Overall a very good trip. The only advice,, if you are allergic to dogs this is not the place for you. The sofas both were covered in dog hair and there was no doubt there were dogs there before us.

Hi Cheryl, I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. I’m sorry there was dog hair on the couch. I bought it 6 months ago and it doesn’t seem to be pet friendly. I’m replacing it with a leather couch to prevent the dog hair from sticking. Thank you, Miriah
