Beautiful Home
This newly remodeled home was so comfortable and cozy! We had stayed with a group of 8 and were very happy with the accommodations of the house. Comfortable beds and furniture. The location is a bit farther from the wineries we toured (40 minutes), but the drive was not that bad. Within 10 minutes of grocery store and gas station in Elk Rapids. Would stay at this house again!

Lovely Little North Getaway
We went up to enjoy the fall colors along with some wine tasting. This was a great location to hang out in for the evenings. The view of the lake was beautiful to wake up to in the morning. Myrtle and Maude's was a cute little farm market so close by! We would definitely search out this place again for another weekend stay!

Last minute end of summer getaway
We had to do a last minute change from a planned vacation in Florida due to a hurricane. We found this property last minutes with dates that mutually worked and absolutely loved it! Very open floor plan to all mingle in living room/kitchen/dining with our diverse group. Beautiful view across the street from large picture window. No direct access to lake but so many options. Rented a pontoon for the day at Riverwalk and picked up the rest of our crew at the end of the street on the water. Accommodations had all the kitchen and equipment we needed, all the basics plus. Great closet of games unfortunately we didn’t get the time to utilize much. Great location to downtown gem Elk Rapids and TC. Would absolutely recommend!

Bachelorette
We booked this gorgeous home for my sister’s Bachelorette for 8-9 girls and had a blast! The house was very well stocked with kitchen supplies, and modern appliances! We used the fire pit, and even 2 kayaks and paddle boards stored in the garage! It didn’t have direct water access but we were able to get to the water on the dead end down the street in minutes!definitely would book again :) perfect for a girls weekend or a fun long weekend in Northern Michigan! We rented a boat out of Elk Rapids (~7 minute drive) and about ~25-30 minutes to TC!
