About this property

Elf House in Christmas near Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to Elf House! This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home that offers 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, 2 single beds, 1 bunk bed, 1 twin sofa sleeper and 1 futon. Home is conveniently located less than 5 miles from Munising, the beginning of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It also is about 2 blocks from area ORV/snowmobile trailhead and walking distance to Kewadin Casino, Sunoco gas station, and Foggy's Steakhouse. Home offers a 1 car attached heated garage and large backyard.

Bedroom 1 with a king bed is on the main floor next to a bathroom. Bedroom 2 is in the basement with a queen bed and 2 single beds. Basement also has an additional family room with a set of bunk beds in it and a futon. Main level living room has a twin sofa sleeper available also. We added a massage chair in January 2023 in the main living room that can help soothe your aching body after riding or hiking all day! Both living rooms and the kitchen area have a TV with Roku and complimentary Netflix and Amazon subscriptions. There is not cable or local channels, but there is reliable fiberoptic internet service. There is a cozy electric fireplace in the basement family room added in January as well. Our home has 2 full bathrooms, both are on the main level, and an on demand tankless water heater, so everyone gets a hot shower :) We do allow up to 2 dogs, but there will be a $75 non-refundable pet fee, if approved. Please check if your furry friend is allowed. The backyard is not fenced in so dogs must be on a leash when taken outside. There is a scooper and baggies in garage to clean up after your pet. We do ask that you try to keep them off the furniture or put down some sheets which are provided in the closet near the front door.

Guests have access to the whole home other than a locked storage closet in basement, including the laundry facilities and garage.

We live nearby if you should need anything but will not come over unless asked to. If you have any questions or concerns, please message through the app or call me if an emergency.

The neighborhood is an area of homes that is quiet and private. The home is within walking distance to Foggy's Steakhouse, Kewadin Casino and gas station/party store. The local trailhead is less than 2 blocks from home so you can ride to them from the driveway. We like our neighbors and appreciate our guests being respectful of quiet times, especially when leaving early or arriving late, particularly if on snowmobiles/ATVs. Please also save the ripping on your machines for the trails and not on our quiet, residential street.

* Must use stairs to enter home and to access basement
* $75 Non refundable pet fee for up to 2 dogs, with permission
* Signed rental agreement and security deposit hold required for all reservations. Primary guest will need to send a picture of government issued ID and list names and ages of all other guests in their group.

Family Getaway
Came for a long weekend to spend time with family. The house was spacious and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. Everyone loved the massage chair and we enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. Danielle was very quick to answer our questions and very willing to help. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Place to Stay
My friends and I had a great stay at the Elf House in Christmas, MI. The location was great, just 40 mins from Marquette and 5 mins from Munising. The house was very clean, well stocked, and the spacious backyard was great for our dogs to run and play in. Communication with the host was very easy and quick. I would highly recommend a stay at the Elf House!

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Kolbus

Host profile image
My husband Kevin and I have been managing vacation rentals since 2016. We enjoy providing lodging and a place to call home for others to share the beauty of the amazing area. He was born and raised in the area, while I am from the lower peninsula.

Why they chose this property

This has a nice private backyard including sand box for kiddos, fire ring, picnic table and a deck/patio area with a gas grill. We recently added a bathroom so there are now 2 full baths with an on-demand water heater so plenty of hot water for everyone. For our winter enthusiasts, a nice, heated one car garage to work on your toys if needed. We also added a large mudroom with plenty of room for all your gear. This home has lots of room for a large group but is also cozy for smaller groups as well. The massage chair is a nice addition to use after a day of outdoor adventures.

What makes this property unique

One of the unique benefits for this home is a great location for year round adventures. Close to gas station/convenience store, casino, and Foggy's Steakhouse while only a couple blocks from Christmas trailhead. It is less than 5 miles from downtown Munising, the beginning of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
