"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute cottage! It's small, but perfect for our little family getaway. The lake was calm and clean and the property was fully stocked with paddles and life vests for enjoying the kayaks and row boat. We were able to fit myself, my husband, 5 year child, and our dog and still had room in the row boat!Perfect spoit to explore teh very cute downtown Elk Rapids, close to Traverse City, and not too far from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Definitely planning on coming back next year!We also had an issue with the laundry being locked on arrival when it wasn't supposed to have been locked. The management company handled it very quickly and got the door unlocked so we could enjoy the full facilities, use the laundry as needed, and get access to the life vests and paddles for the boats."
