Spring in Elk Rapids
Smooth and easy rental process Very responsive owner. The property has everything you would need in the kitchen.. it is very comfortable and well laid out. The lovely back patio area away from the road. Unfortunately it was snowing when we arrived so we did not get to enjoy the patio as one would in the warmer months. Close to everything and a great grocery across the sometimes busy street. Thanks for a great stay!

1. The booking price should be listed for each week on the calendar and not unlisted until you book it. Then be told if you do not book now, the price will change. Prices naturally drop after Labor Day. This one rose. 2. This cottage is not handicap accessible. 3. A key code was given but directions as to which door was not specified in the initial communication. The sign directing you to the expected door was lying on the floor. 4. The cottage floor was uneven and this might present an issue with balance. 5. You were not informed initially that you had to use your own streaming account to watch the TV. 6. Prior to leaving, you were informed to launder the towels. Based on what you are charged for housekeeping, this should not be an expectation. The home is in a perfect location, near the downtown and highway 31.

The property was updated with new appliances, bathrooms and flooring. It is convenient to the market across the street. We walked down to a bar called Etanology one night and the a cafe for breakfast. It is a busy road but that wasn’t a problem. We would stay again.
