Great Location for Last-Minute UpNorth Trip

The location of your Elk Rapids home worked out perfectly for our last minute trip. Very walkable to restaurants and the beach and pickleball courts at the park. It was also convenient for our excursions to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Petoskey. Communications with you and check-in/out process went smoothly. Would stay again if in the area.

Our second time here. The location is one of the main reasons we stay here. Walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids and the beach. Originally we booked this because it is pet friendly. The only thing we were disappointed in is the lawn was thick as a hay field. No big deal since we didn't have to cut it. Price and location are the main reasons we continue to come back.

Great Get Away

This was a great location to visit both Elk Rapids, Traverse City and Bellaire. My husband an I enjoyed all the space of this listing and could see bringing a larger group to this listing in the future. It was a great stay even in the non-tourist season.

Great location near beach and downtown

My family had a pleasant stay at this property. The location can’t be beat with a 3 min walk to beach and downtown. The house is as described, small and cozy but with 3 bathrooms to accommodate larger groups. We had friends in the area so didn’t spend too much time in the house. Would consider renting again.

Excellence in Elk Rapids

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Steve & Tami's place on Spruce Street. Their cozy and well kept place was a fabulous base of operations for our trip to join local friends for celebrating St. Pat's Day. Four of us from out of town and our friends from Kewadin enjoyed a couple of meals together and time just hanging out in the comfortable living room. We took a couple of walks into town, and a couple of drives into Traverse City. A fabulous time was had!

Great Winter Get-Away!

This is our 3rd time staying in the home and we just can’t say enough about the home and owners! So quick and easy to communicate with. The home is wonderful! Perfect for our family. And we really love the town of Elk Rapids especially in the Winter. Restaurant and shops are located very close by. You can walk to downtown from the home. The home is very comfortable and well taken care of. The owners provide necessities, so you don’t need to feel like you have to bring every little thing from home, making for an easy, relaxing get away! We would highly recommend this rental and owners! Thank you again for everything!

Mixed feelings

We take a girls trip every year and always at a different location. We chose this place for the location and within walking distance of so much. Although we had a great stay and There is a lot of charm to this house, there are several issues that need tending to. For starts we could barely open the from screen door as it scrapes along the walkway and the screen is broken and metal pieces sticking out. Open the front door and it’s very musty smelling. Played a big part in all of our allergies. There is mold on the ceilings in the bathroom. Huge lack of towels. There were 6 bath towels, 3 hand towels and 1 kitchen towel. 1 bath towel per person is not enough especially if you say this accommodates up to 10 people. We had to bring our own washcloths. There are excess bees all over, one of our ladies was stung twice in the middle of the night. Glad she Carrie’s her epi pen as she is allergic. We killed a total of 7 bees inside the house. The AC units were a plus and kept the house quite cool. We tried to use the TV but simply couldn’t figure it out, we just wanted to watch the lions but couldn’t even get local channels. There is not instruction manual at all of the house. We just tried to figure out things along the way. There is a grill but we could not use it as it was so dirty. There are also 2 back doors leading to the backyard but we could not use them as they were so overgrown with trees and weeds. Not much curb appeal. Lastly, the bedding was nice but the beds were Hard.
