About this property

Huge corner lot, home is a 2-minute walk to beach, playground, and park

Newly updated downtown Elk Rapids home, the house is less than a block to the beach and to Veterans' Memorial park. Memorial Park features basketball courts, tennis, a huge playground for kids, and all the great traits of a beach park. The three bedroom house sleeps 10 and is a quick 2-block walk to downtown dining, shopping, and water sports. Outside, a huge corner lot with gas grill and yard games perfect for outdoor entertaining and with room for the kids to run and play.

Great house with an amazing view of Grand Traverse Bay. Less than a block to the beach, downtown, dining, and a huge park and playground for children. House has big backyard to entertain and play outside. In addition, this house has room to park a boat on trailer and is within a mile of access to Elk Lake/Torch River System and to the bay. Golf, snowmobile/ORV trails, and skiing are all close by. For those who want a city experience, Traverse City is only a short drive away.

Great Get Away
This was a great location to visit both Elk Rapids, Traverse City and Bellaire. My husband an I enjoyed all the space of this listing and could see bringing a larger group to this listing in the future. It was a great stay even in the non-tourist season.

Excellence in Elk Rapids
We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Steve & Tami's place on Spruce Street. Their cozy and well kept place was a fabulous base of operations for our trip to join local friends for celebrating St. Pat's Day. Four of us from out of town and our friends from Kewadin enjoyed a couple of meals together and time just hanging out in the comfortable living room. We took a couple of walks into town, and a couple of drives into Traverse City. A fabulous time was had!

Awesome!
My friends and I have stayed here twice for our annual get togethers. Beautiful and functional home, and easy walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids. We have only stayed here in the winter, but I imagine it would be even better in the summer. Can’t beat it for the price.

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Tami Simpson

Host profile image
My wife Tami and I, and honestly my whole family have helped to make this house into our family vacation home. We have three kids- two boys and a girl in the middle. I am a College administrator and Tami is a Real Estate Agent in Ann Arbor, MI. We are both graduates of the University of Michigan and are dedicated football fans. Additionally, I coach my youngest son Milo who is the starting center ad long snapper for the Ann Arbor Pioneer HS Football team.
Outside of work, our family has dedicated itself to establishing and developing a property management business. We are hoping to establish a presence in northern Michigan that will allow us to live and work full time there. In the meantime we work during the week, and spend just about every weekend either managing or doing construction on our next venture!

Tami and I met in the restaurant business many years ago. She was a waitress and I was a chef. In cliche fashion, we fell in love and got married. Today for fun we still cook, forage, and fish. We also make our own dry cured sausages and hams and hope to one day also buy a food truck that sells sandwiches made on our homemade sourdough English muffins. We love sports- the Lions, Big Blue, and my son's lacrosse and football teams. We also love the outdoors. We really enjoy spending time on the amazing lakes around this home with our family and friends.

We built this house to be a place for our family- increasingly scattered to the winds these days- to be able to come home to and spend time together. We sincerely hope you will be able to do the same here with your friends and loved ones and we look forward to hosting you.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to ER for more than 20 years to stay with my parents and to visit our best friends from college. After 16 years of sleeping on the futons at our folks' place, we decided to invest in one of our own. We love Elk Rapids! There is no other place where we feel so safe to let our kids loose. Boating, snowmobiling, fishing, dining, shopping, and so many other great activities are so close to the house. We love everything ER offers and there is not a better community to live in!
