while the property was not quite as close to Elk Lake as we had expected, it was a convenient location for all of our golfing adventures. There was room enough for everyone in the kitchen and playing cards around the table

Family Vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of space for the little ones to play and the kitchen worked out well for us. Close to Elk Rapids, which is what we wanted.

Beautiful Setting

This house was in a great location. Peaceful setting, walking trails and boat dock nearby, and easy drives to Torch Lake, Traverse City and Charlevoix. We enjoyed our week long stay here. We had 6 adults, and every couple had their own space and bathroom. The house was clean, comfortable and had a lot of amenities. Great place to stay!

Relaxing Weekend

The home was clean and in a wonderful area. The setting is very relaxing for a fire, to sit out on the deck, and relax with friends or family! Close to Traverse Bay where we rented a boat for the day, and closer to Elk and Torch lake. I would certainly stay here again!

What a terrific property! The spacious house easily accommodated ten adults (we brought a blow-up mattress to have enough beds in the lower level). Nestled in the woods with a large yard and a big fire-pit, the home had that up-north feel. Elk Lake was about a half-mile walk. We loved the location--an easy drive to Elk Rapids (loved Veteran's Memorial Beach), Torch Lake, Traverse City, and all the wineries and beaches on Old Mission Peninsula. The host was easy to reach and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We'd stay here again!

Location was perfect for our needs, which was comfortably housing 4 couples. The spaces accommodated the size of our party well - roomy dining area, family room, nice bedrooms, sizable deck, and the wonderful fire pit. Location is pretty quiet. We walked to the hiking paths on the nearby county park. The beach would be a bit of a walk, but is very close. As with most rental places, could really use a nice fry pan. But I understand the challenges of having lots of people in one's place. We had a memorable week!

Perfect Home for Family vacation

This house was all that was advertised and more. The close proximity to the water with the privacy and space for our family was perfect. Everything was very well communicated and there was no need for us to contact the property manager at any time. Information inside the house was clear and concise. It was perfect for two families with both adults and teens.

Excellent break for the family

This property was just what we hoped for and more. Secluded, peaceful, but actually not far from anything you would want. Very comfortable and well laid out for our extended family of 9 1/2. Beautiful boat launch down the road. Never crowded. We would definately come back. Thank you !!

R & R

Our stay was great! Very peaceful. The house was very clean and user friendly. We had weather that required both air conditioning and heat and both worked great. It was the perfect size for our family. It was really nice to have television available for the evenings. The house and property were great for our dogs. The location made Traverse City, golf courses, Elk Rapids and other areas very accessible.

We came back

Our family thourally enjoyed our stay so much that we came back for a second visit. Everything was so convient for our family of 10 to use and to get around. Very peaceful up north getaway. Sally ( the host ) responds very quickly to your questions. We we're missing some sheets and she made a special delivery to make sure we had some. We will be back whenever we can !!

Cozy Rural Retreat

Good rural location to many popular cities. Nicely updated kitchen and beautiful renovated downstairs full bath. No wifi and sketchy hot spots, which were problems since two of our college kids had homework to do. Overall, the outside of the house needs significant TLC with peeling paint and overgrown walkways. Great washer and dryer downstairs but the area contained many of owner's personal belongings.

6/10 Okay

Great location but house could use some attention.

The location of this home is great! We had a quick drive to Traverse City and about 40 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Location wise-perfect. Sally was great to work with. Quick to reply to my questions and gave us great suggestions for beaches and parks nearby. The house itself was OK. The kitchen with the big island with seating was great for the kids. Overall though, this wasn't the most kid friendly house. The deck was missing a bunch of the railings. The railing that is there, the spindles are wide enough for our two year old to fit through (thankfully she didn't fall!) In the house, the baby gates (provided at the house) don't secure to the wall at the top of either set of stairs. The spindles in the railings at the top of the stairs are about 6 inches apart, not up to code and definitely wide enough for a child to fit through!! FYI, In the master bathroom, the hot and cold water are backwards. (Cold turns on hot etc.) The air conditioning worked great in the master bedroom side of the house. Upstairs, the bedrooms stayed pretty warm. There are ceiling fans up there which helped a lot. Outside the house- the pictures on VRBO must be pretty old. The house and landscaping appear to be a bit neglected. The weeds in the gardens are so overgrown they are practically trees. Normally this wouldn't be a problem with our stay inside, but on the one day it rained, we had to walk through the wet overgrown weeds and branches that line (and reach over) the sidewalk. The paint is peeling off all over the house. The railing from the round part of the deck was all ripped off. It just looks like it could use some attention. This is a great house for adults, but not very kid friendly. There are baby gates provided but they don't attach to the walls properly. The board games provided which would've been great on our rainy day were missing some essential pieces to play. FYI, there isn't a pack 'n play, booster, etc. provided. You'd have to bring your own. We enjoyed the location! We had a great campfire outside at the campfire pit. And made some good memories up north. If you're traveling with kids under 5 though, you may want to look for somewhere else to stay.

I was very disappointed by this review. This is my family home where I've raised my children, hosted multiple family gatherings, reunions and play dates. To suggest this home is not safe for children is a complete misrepresentation. This home has been a successful vrbo offering for travelers for over 3 years and I take great pride in offering it to those seeking to explore this beautiful region. There are multiple stellar reviews associated with this property which indicate 5 star satisfaction. Please read them all.
