About this property

Waterfront log home on Elk Lake with dock and mooring, window A/C. Dog ok.

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom log cabin on Elk Lake is a perfect small family or couple vacation spot. The location off a quiet road in Williamsburg is wonderful. Enjoy the sparkling blue, hard sandy bottom water of this all-sports lake. The main space in the home is a living room and dining area.

Outside there is a cute little porch that is perfect for morning coffee and watching the sun come up. Talk about relaxing! The yard is spacious enough for kids to play and to walk the dog too. The main road to this house is pleasant to walk or ride your bike on. There is also a dock and fire pit.

The house is near the Great Lakes Equestrian Horse Show, Turtle Creek Casino and Elk Rapids. It’s an easy trip to Traverse City.

One pet allowed.

Property was peaceful, location was great. The Cabin furniture was comfortable, the cabin itself could use a bit more TLC. As they say in Michigan "that's cabin life:"We enjoyed our visit up north.

Great location for an Elk Lake/Torch Lake vacation! Rustic cabin was as listed - cabin was clean and well-kept for an older cabin. The location on the lake is great and the provided mooring buoy was perfect for a pontoon. The shore entry is a rock wall, which could be a bit challenging for smaller children or people with mobility challenges. This cabin gives you great proximity to Elk Rapids and Torch Lake. Check-in/Check-out was easy and instructions from host were clear.

We thought the property and the lake were beautiful, and we saw two eagles! Other than sleeping, we mostly stayed at a cabin across the water where our daughter was having her wedding. We would like to come back and actually enjoy all this cabin has to offer. Our only suggestion would be that you might have a dehumidifier, because the sheets felt damp when we got into bed and our clothes from the closet also felt damp. Otherwise, it was lovely. 3

Not a lot of hot water so plan accordingly. I would suggest installing an instant electric hat water heater for the whole cabin. 13k should be sufficient. It would also take up less space in the bathroom. Check in was easy. Very relaxing and beautiful views. We will be back.

Great place to stay near Traverse City

Just 2 of us staying there so there was plenty of space, if there had been more it might have been a little cramped. This place has a really big yard with privacy fence on either side, perfect for our dog to run around in and go for a swim when he wanted to. It was perfect!

Great View & Quiet Location

You are paying for the view/location, the cabin is cozy (surprisingly the bed and pillows were great), but it is pretty dirty and outdated. Waking up and having your coffee while the sun is rising over the lake made it completely worth it though.

Could have been better

Wasn’t very friendly to boater. Dock wasn’t very stable. Had to go buy boat cushions to tie to posts to keep boat from getting beat up. It was rustic, floor shook when you walked across the living room. Waited 6 months to do some smallmouth fishing and ended up only catching one that was too small. Mayflies took over hatching and that’s all the fish were biting. Kind of a bust of a trip.

Gorgeous Setting!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rustic cabin is a great place to hang on Elk Lake. Morning views are spectacular. Renters beware that there is no central heat, no ceiling in the bedrooms (ultimate open concept), and plumbing in the bathroom is reversed for hot and cold water. If your looking for a quiet rustic place, this cabin is for you!

A Stay in the Cabin on Elk Lake

The view of the lake was so relaxing. The Cabin is definitely old. But it could have been cleaner. There were spider webs inside by the fireplace, dust and dirt under the furniture. And on the small porch the table and chairs were dirty as was the grill. Also when the 1st person would take a shower they ran out of hot water so the next person had to wait for it to regenerate. But we stayed there to be right on the lake and it was only for 3 nights so we managed. The land was great just the cabin needs updated.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our time at the rental cabin we had great weather and the lake was amazing. However the cabin was pretty dirty we even found mice nest we took pictures of and can send you them if you’d like. I was just about to post a review but wanted to inform you of these problems and see if there was anything you could do for me before since the group avoided being inside not knowing how clean it actually is.
